When all the lights dimmed.
The whole earth seemed to have fallen into dead silence.
The faces of the three people turned pale in the darkness.
As the headlights of the car shone one by one, low voices came from outside.
"Come out, people inside!"
"You're not calling us, are you..." Tang Zu's voice trembled.
Che Linwan only felt someone hugging her waist suddenly. At first, she thought it was Xia Mingzhi. Was Xia Mingzhi worried that she was scared
But gradually, I felt that something was wrong in my hand. The person holding my waist pinched me on the left side and pinched me on the right side.
"What are you doing?"
"What." Xia Mingzhi thought she was talking to herself.
"No... I said the other one, can you take your hands off my waist?"
Then a crackling sound was heard. Maybe taking advantage of the darkness, Tang Zu was beaten violently by Xia Mingzhi again.
"Okay, okay! I let go... I was so anxious and scared just now that I hugged the wrong person! How long has it been, and I still care about such a trivial matter." Tang Zu kept mumbling.
"Who is outside?"
"Not a good person anyway."
"Chasing us? Why what?"
"How about one of you go out and ask?"
Xia Mingzhi began to move quietly, and Che Lin Wanxin understood and started to pack his luggage.
Tang Zu heard the movement and turned on the light of his mobile phone.
"Shut it down! Are you short-sighted?"
"What! I was afraid that you couldn't see it and bumped into each other."
The shouts outside started again, "People inside come out. There is no one else around."
Then there was a crackling explosion.
"What's the sound..." Che Linwan was really nervous this time.
"It seemed like... gunshots?"
"Can't you?!"
"Want to go out?"
"You are so heartless! Can you get out here?"
"But we can't run away..."
Xia Mingzhi ran to the sign behind the door, covered the phone screen with his palm and turned on the light.
A sliver of light leaked out from between the fingers, illuminating the instruction map.
He looked at it for a while and then turned it off.
"remember?"
"remember."
"Run wherever you go."
"Up."
"What?! Go to the West."
Xia Mingzhi gritted his teeth, not wanting to bring this heartless person with him.
But as Che Linwan said, he was so heartless that he came all the way to find them.
This kind of kindness is still worth saving.
"I just checked the location of the vent. People can climb in. Walk from the top..."
"I'm claustrophobic!"
"It doesn't matter. Then just go outside and go ahead. Wait until we leave before opening the door."
"...Xia Mingzhi! Don't you want to take me with you? Don't think about who I am flying here to save!"
"So you have nothing to do with this. They probably aren't targeting you. Just get out."
"Xia Mingzhi, you..."
"Okay! Stop arguing and leave quickly." Che Linwan really couldn't stand listening to these two brothers who were happy enemies.
Xia Mingzhi took the lead in climbing and climbing in front.
Che Linwan was in the middle, and Tang Zu followed at the end.
He either bumped directly into the back of Che Linwan, or he couldn't climb anymore and needed to rest. Xia Mingzhi wouldn't leave him, so he simply grabbed Che Linwan's ankle.
While the three of them were resting, the voices outside started again.
"It's best not to let us go in by ourselves! Otherwise, you can wait to collect the bodies."
Che Linwan suddenly realized something. People outside spoke Chinese very fluently.
It doesn't sound like a French person.
Are they Chinese
But now she was in no mood to care who they were.
Xia Mingzhi started to climb up again.
Among them, they crawled through the vent of another resident.
Che Linwan remembered an elderly couple living there.
The sound of two elderly people kissing each other came from the vent, and Che Linwan suddenly became uneasy.
The local people are really big-hearted. They may have encountered a black society outside, but they are still in the mood to have fun inside.
When he climbed to the exit, Xia Mingzhi jumped down first, then reached out to catch Che Linwan.
But when Tang Zu also jumped down, he fell directly into the underground garbage collection box with a thud.
He crawled out with a dirty look on his face, cursing.
"It's poisonous, you guys!"
They walked around the side of the hotel where they were staying and carefully observed the "visitor" who shone their car lights on them.
There were several cars in total, and there were four or five people standing next to each car. Most of them were locals with white skin, red hair, and yellow beards. They were tall and fat, and their bellies were rumbling when they walked.
But there was an Asian among them, who looked like a Chinese, and he was the one shouting.
Che Linwan looked hard, trying to identify whether he had met this person before.
However, Xia Mingzhi dragged her away from behind.
"Find a safe place to contact Tong Chuanhe. Ask her what's going on! Did she deliberately trick you into coming here to die?"
Che Linwan's hair stood on end after being told by Xia Mingzhi.
Did Tong Chuanhe lie to her to die
What is that for
He who has no grudges in the past and no grudges in the near future.
They had never even met before Tong Lao passed away. Che Linwan knew at all that his teacher had an illegitimate daughter.
Make knitting!
Xia Mingzhi gave full play to his mobility and flexibility.
Every time I passed a car on the roadside along the way, I reached out and pulled the door.
I don’t remember if it was more than ten or twenty, but there was actually one car whose door was not locked at all.
"Okay. Let's get in now. What next?" Tang Zu climbed directly into the back seat through the rear window. Then waited eagerly.
Che Linwan might have watched too many police and gangster movies and thought that Xia Mingzhi would have a more impressive set of operations, such as starting a classic car with his bare hands.
However, he just touched it up and down, and then found the car key under the seat cushion.
When he picked up the car keys, Che Linwan couldn't tell whether he should be grateful or disappointed.
"Okay, let's find a place to rest today."
Before Xia Mingzhi started, he reached out and took away the mobile phones of three people, and then threw them out of the car window one by one.
Started the car and ran over.
"What are you doing!!!" Tang Zu shouted at the top of his lungs.
Xia Mingzhi glanced at him in the rearview mirror and said, "It was probably your phone call that brought me here."
"Why are you so unfair to me?"
"We have arrived at the hotel a long time ago, and we didn't find anyone following us along the way. Only after you arrived, the group showed up soon after."
Tang Zu suddenly stopped talking and remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "I know!"
"what do you know?"
"It's the lawyer."
"What lawyer?"
"When I went to bail you out, I met a guy who claimed to be a lawyer and left me a phone number. He said that if you have any trouble in the future, you can contact him. He also said that he was very concerned about the news about Tong Hai's death in the local area. Later, I met him two more times. The second time, I became vigilant, but he still got my phone somehow, and I took it back later.”
"How did he get it?"
"I don't know... I think... he might be a thief or something?"
