Gu Lili's eyes instantly turned red. She tore off the tape on Ah Wun's mouth and quietly called, "Ah Wun, I'm here to rescue you."
"I knew... you would definitely come to save us. You wouldn't abandon us." Ah Wun's voice was coarse, obviously much hoarser than before, likely from screaming during torture.
Once Gu Lili untied the ropes on her hands and neck, removing the rope from her insteps was sure to be painful.
"Bear with it, I'm going to pull out the rope."
"I'm okay." Ah Wun bit her lip tightly.
Gu Xichen cradled her bloody foot while Gu Lili gripped the rope and sharply pulled.
"Ah—" Ah Wun threw her head back and screamed in agony.
The other foot couldn't be pulled out slowly, that would be even more agonizing. As always, Gu Lili pulled it out in one go.
Ah Wun trembled all over with pain and was quickly embraced by Gu Xichen, "I'm here, I'm here..."
