Gu Xi and the others waited in the car for over three hours. It wasn't until after 10 p.m. that they heard the roar of a helicopter fading into the distance.
The night breeze blew through the half-open car window, tousling her long hair. Gu Xi faced the wind and gazed outside, her calm eyes fixed on the receding red dot in the night sky, lost in thought.
'Today's events were a little too coincidental.'
'If Shen Yue and the others hadn't just reacted so naturally, she would have even suspected that Shen Yue already knew something. Had he deliberately sent her away today after learning in advance that people from the Abnormal Ability Research Institute were coming?'
'But the reactions of Shen Yue's group just now couldn't have been faked...'
'Maybe it really was all just a coincidence?'
Gu Xi lowered her gaze slightly.
Soon, someone came from up ahead to inform them that the lockdown was over. The danger had been eliminated, and they could go home.
