"Xiaonan!" As soon as he saw Zhong Xiaonan, Xiao Chendong burst into tears of joy, "I knew you would come looking for me. Quick, go find Dad, get him to figure out a way to get me out.
I really can't stand this broken place for another second."
Zhong Xiaonan looked at Xiao Chendong inside the jail, numb, "The rope you threw down from home—was that yours?"
