She remembered what Wen Xue had told her—the old alley behind the abandoned hospital on the south side of the city. That was where Jin Mu had been hiding. That was where she would go.
Pushing through the narrow streets and skipping past filth and smoke, Gu Jin moved like a silent arrow.
The streets of Criminal City were dark and twisted, lit only by broken lamps and the glowing eyes of those who lived in the shadows.
Gu Jin moved quickly, ignoring the stares that burned into her skin like fire. She wasn't scared—but she was furious.
Behind her, the footsteps grew louder.
"Hey, sweetheart!" one of the men called out. "Where are you rushing off to? Want some company tonight?"
"Don't be shy," another chuckled. "We'll take good care of you. Promise."
Gu Jin clenched her jaw, her nails digging into her palms. Ignore them. Find Jin Mu first.
But the comments kept coming—uglier, filthier.
"Look at those legs—damn! Bet she tastes as sweet as she looks."
