Chapter 83 Trapped

The difference between a villain and a gentleman is that a villain often makes many unexpected decisions without considering the consequences, while a gentleman, due to his status and position, is not as harmful as a villain.

This is why it is said that "it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain".

Ahua waited at the entrance of the corridor leading to Area C of the exhibition hall. When he saw two review staff members coming, he stood up and pretended to leave.

When he reached the two staff members, Ah Hua said, "There's no one up there anymore. The girl at booth number three told me to tell you to review it tomorrow morning. They've already left."

After saying that, he walked straight downstairs.

In fact, this little revenge didn't have much effect, and Ahua was just trying to vent his anger.

Because the works in the exhibition hall were not of high value, with only a few masterpieces by masters, and the exhibition had not yet begun, entry was impossible without a pass, so supervision was naturally much lax.

This can be seen from the fact that most people leave directly after setting up their booths.

Ahua just wanted to trick the staff into leaving and lock up the woman who bullied him during the day.

The two staff members exchanged a glance; they had also heard about what had happened that afternoon. Knowing that the girl at booth number three in area C was no ordinary woman, they didn't say anything and simply headed downstairs.

…………

Tang Shuo checked the time. It was already ten o'clock in the evening, so he said to Li Yihe beside him, "Do you want to go check it out? It's already ten o'clock."

Li Yihe panicked and said hurriedly, "Why are you in such a hurry? They should be here soon."

She had been thinking about it for nearly an hour, but still couldn't figure out what reason she should use to deceive Tang Shuo.

It would definitely not be possible to tell the other party the truth. With Tang Shuo's cleverness, if he just found a random excuse, he would definitely be seen through by the other party.

Just as he was having a headache, Li Yihe suddenly thought of the time and asked, "What time did you say?"

"It's ten o'clock." Tang Shuo replied.

"Oh." Li Yihe nodded and said with a smile, "Then I'll call them and urge them."

It's too late now. I can just use this excuse to get away with it. Why not just tell Tang Shuo tomorrow that Su Ran has returned to Suzhou and Hangzhou?

Thinking of this, Li Yihe could no longer conceal his joy. He took out his cell phone from his pocket and looked at it. He immediately shook his head and said, "I didn't notice. My cell phone is out of battery."

"Let's go down and shout." Tang Shuo said helplessly.

Suddenly, the lights in the exhibition hall went out with a bang. Simultaneously, not far away, the fire door could be heard clicking shut.

ah……

Li Yihe exclaimed and immediately pressed his body against Tang Shuo's.

Tang Shuo frowned and asked, "What time does this place close?"

I had been waiting here with Li Yihe, and even forgot the closing time of the exhibition hall.

"I don't know." Li Yihe shook his head.

Tang Shuo immediately grabbed Li Yihe's hand and said, "Follow me."

The fire door closed faster than Tang Shuo had expected. Their booth was a bit far from the exit of Area C. By the time Tang Shuo, relying on his memory, led Li Yihe to the exit, the fire door had already closed.

Tang Shuo knocked on the door twice, but when he saw no response from outside, he gave up.

The exhibition hall's fireproof rolling shutter doors are specially made and difficult to open without tools. There are only a few small windows on the walls surrounding the exhibition hall, and the glass in these windows is also specially made bulletproof glass, making it extremely difficult to open them manually.

In other words, the two of them were trapped in the pavilion.

Tang Shuo found an infrared camera in the exhibition hall and waved at it from below, but there was still no response.

Sitting under the camera, Tang Shuo took out his phone, leaning against the screen to emit a little light, and said to Li Yihe beside him: "We are trapped. Do you remember the fat man's phone number?"

Li Yihe shook his head and said, "How could I remember his phone number?"

"What should we do now?" Tang Shuo glanced at his phone and said, "Hurry up, my phone is almost out of battery. Do you know whose phone number we can call? Can we get help now?"

Li Yihe was about to give Li Ruiyi's phone number when he suddenly stopped and said, "I don't know."

She suddenly decided to stay here with Tang Shuo for one night.

After Le'er jokingly said that Tang Shuo was her boyfriend during the day, Li Yihe found that he really seemed to have a strange feeling towards Tang Shuo.

In fact, she and Tang Shuo had not had much contact. Including this time, it had only been three times.

Their first meeting was due to her curiosity about Tang Shuo, wanting to see what this man who had made her brother so embarrassed was like. After she suggested a car race, Tang Shuo actually showed up in an Audi and, even more exaggeratedly, beat her.

At that time, she didn't feel anything strange, but just started to inquire about some information about Tang Shuo, wanting to take revenge.

When they met for the second time at Xiao Ran's concert, she was completely attracted by Tang Shuo's back on the stage. At that time, she felt that Tang Shuo was a little different from any man she had met before.

After taking people backstage to find Tang Shuo, something happened in the dressing room that made her blush whenever she thought about it.

If it were any other man, she would have torn him to pieces long ago, but she found that she could not feel any hatred towards Tang Shuo.

Thinking about it carefully, she seemed to have had an indescribable feeling towards Tang Shuo at that time.

"The only option is to call the police." Tang Shuo said helplessly, and then he prepared to dial the police number.

Li Yihe stopped Tang Shuo and said vaguely, "Why call the police? We can stay here tonight and leave tomorrow, right?"

"Stay here overnight?" Tang Shuo asked in surprise.

"Yes." Li Yihe let go of Tang Shuo and said, "Isn't this place nice too? We can sleep where we sat in front of the booth just now."

Tang Shuo looked around but couldn't find any place here that could be better than home. Suddenly, his cell phone vibrated and turned off by itself.

As the light dimmed again, Tang Shuo smiled bitterly and said, "That's it. I can't get out even if I want to."

In fact, Tang Shuo had already found a way out. He could use the ventilation duct above the exhibition hall to climb out. It was just that the process was relatively uncomfortable, and there was no need for him to endure that pain.

Li Yihe smiled in the darkness and said, "Let's just chat here for a while, then take a nap and it will be daylight. Then there will naturally be people here."

Tang Shuo suddenly asked, "Is Su Ran no longer in Yanjing?"

"How do you know?"

Li Yihe was startled and quickly covered his mouth.

Tang Shuo smiled nonchalantly and said, "I guessed it a long time ago. If Su Ran was in Yanjing, you definitely wouldn't have deliberately delayed it until now. And given your personality, you'll definitely use the fact that I went to see Su Ran to blackmail me."

This was what Tang Shuo figured out after returning to the exhibition hall after dinner. Given Li Yihe's restless personality, waiting here for five minutes was probably her limit, but she actually sat there for nearly an hour.

There must be a reason for this, and the only reasonable explanation is that Su Ran is no longer in Yanjing, and Li Yihe has no way of taking him to find him.

Li Yihe was exposed by Tang Shuo and smiled awkwardly, "What do you mean by blackmail? I just forgot that Sister Su Ran had left. I only remembered it when you mentioned it just now."

"Where did Su Ran go?" Tang Shuo asked.

Li Yihe shook his head and said, "How should I know?"

Tang Shuo sneered and said, "You've lied to me for a whole day, what should I do?"

Li Yihe snorted and said, "It's your honor to have you accompany me. How can you say that I lied to you?"

This was the first time Tang Shuo had seen someone lie so confidently, so he deliberately threatened, "You said we're trapped here alone, a man and a woman. If nothing happens, how can I stay in Yanjing if the news gets out?"

"What are you going to do..."

Before Li Yihe could finish his words, Tang Shuo's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he picked up Li Yihe and rolled to the side.

Li Yihe didn't expect that Tang Shuo would actually dare to attack her, and she was frightened for a moment.

Bang……

Suddenly, a gunshot was heard in the originally silent air, and the bullet landed at the same place where Tang Shuo and Li Yihe had just been sitting.

Tang Shuo covered Li Yihe's mouth, who had not yet recovered from his shock, and made a shushing gesture.
