Chapter 26 No More Tricks

She didn't dare stay away too long, worrying they would discover she was gone.

She decided to return the same way she came, pulling herself up the rope. Though it would be strenuous, she could at least try.

Lin Xinlan tied the rope around her waist, then tugged at it, feeling it was very sturdy, and began her arduous climb upward.

Her shoulder bore the weight of dry food, increasing the gravity, making the climb even more challenging. However, she had already reached the halfway point, almost there,

She strained to climb another half meter, just one meter shy of reaching the window ledge.

Lin Xinlan couldn't help but reveal a trace of a smile, suddenly, her smile vanished, her hand nearly released the rope, and she almost fell.

Rong Shaoze's head popped out from the window, he lay on the window sill, smiling faintly at her.

In his hand was a pair of scissors, and the scissors were aimed at the rope.
