"That box she's holding... doesn't it look a lot like the one that went missing?"
As soon as Lu Mei heard this, she snapped her eyes open and looked in the direction the other person was pointing.
Sure enough!
The back of a figure in a white nurse's uniform was walking quickly ahead, tightly clutching a small brown medicine box with a yellow label on the corner.
The color, the size, the placement of the label.
It was an almost perfect match for the description on the list of stolen items!
Lu Mei instantly forgot her exhaustion. Her heart leaped, and adrenaline surged through her.
She shot up from the floor with a jolt. Ignoring her weak legs, she took off in a sprint.
She reached the middle of the hallway in just a few strides and blocked Yang Meiling's path.
"Yang Meiling!"
"What is that in your hand?!"
Caught off guard, Yang Meiling stumbled, nearly falling backward.
Her hand trembled instinctively, and with lightning-fast reflexes, she hid the box behind her back.
