Chapter 40 Must Escape!

The word "resignation" was like a heavy hammer hitting Su Yumian's solar plexus. When did he resign?

He hurried forward a few steps and asked his colleague who was discussing the matter, "Team Leader Wan, when you said you were resigning, what did you mean?"

Team Leader Wan was a married woman in her thirties. When she heard Su Yumian's words, she quickly turned around and avoided his question, "You heard wrong, I didn't say that."

"I clearly heard it just now..." Seeing that Team Leader Wan was obviously avoiding the question, he turned to another colleague, "Luo Yue, I..."

"Don't ask me, I don't know either." Luo Yue interrupted him and walked away pretending to be busy.

Su Yumian realized that something was wrong due to his colleagues' unusual behavior and inexplicable resignation.

Fu Quezhou clearly told him that he just asked for leave, so how come it has now become resignation?

He had to figure it out today.

He walked straight to the supervisor's office, knocked on the door, and heard Tang Zhen's voice from inside.

"Come in."

Su Yumian pushed the door open and asked directly, "Manager Tang, what's going on with the resignation?"

Hearing Su Yumian's voice, Tang Zhen raised his head from a pile of documents and said evasively, "It's Yumian. Are you feeling better? If not, go back and rest."

Even Tang Zhen was playing dumb and not giving a direct answer. Suddenly, Wuming's anger rose up, and he couldn't help but yell at Tang Zhen, "Answer me!"

This roar scared the colleagues outside, because Su Yumian always gave people the impression that he was easy to talk to, never lost his temper, and didn't even dare to say a harsh word.

Today, he unexpectedly got angry at his supervisor.

Seeing that there were already a few heads peeking out of the door, Tang Zhen was afraid that this would reach Fu Quezhou's ears, so he hurried over to close the door.

Coming to Su Yumian, he stammered, "Yumian, the company has decided to let you take a temporary, ah, rest for a while because of your health. When you are better..."

"Is it Fu Quezhou?"

Su Yumian interrupted Tang Zhen. Her voice was very soft, but like a blunt knife, slowly cutting through the air.

The person with the highest say in this company is Fu Quezhou. Who else could it be but him?

Tang Zhen was stunned, his eyes flickered, but he did not refute.

Because the facts are right in front of us, no one will believe him no matter how much he explains.

"Yu Mian, President Fu is also considering your health..."

"Ha, ha, ha, first they restricted me from interacting with my friends, and now they're even depriving me of my job. Is there anything that Fu Quezhou can't do?"

Su Yumian suddenly laughed, his laughter was short and sad, and a suffocating feeling of being restricted in personal freedom instantly hit him, making his breathing rapid, as if someone was strangling him and he couldn't breathe.

Tang Zhen saw that he was in a bad condition, so he quickly supported him and asked anxiously, "Yu Mian, are you okay? Do you want to call an ambulance...?"

"open!"

Su Yumian slapped Tang Zhen's hand away, staggered open the door and rushed out.

This place is too depressing for him, he must escape!

The sun was shining brightly outside, casting a warm atmosphere, but Su Yumian felt cold all over.

He ran to the side of the road panting and stopped a car. After getting in, he was shaking like a sieve and his face was as pale as paper.

The driver saw through the rearview mirror that something was wrong with him and asked, "Sir, do you want to be taken to the hospital?"

Su Yumian clutched her thighs tightly with both hands, forcing herself to calm down. She said to the driver, "No, don't go to the hospital. Take me to the airport."

He wants to escape!

He didn't want to care about anything anymore. At this moment, he just wanted to get away from this suffocating place.

The driver seemed to want to say something, but in the end he said nothing and took him to the airport.

Sitting in the waiting hall, Su Yumian felt as if he had come alive again, and his breathing became much smoother.

Looking at the leisurely passengers coming and going in the hall, Su Yumian saw the happiness of a slow-paced life on their faces, which formed a sharp contrast with his eagerness to escape from here.

"Maybe... there are people like me?"

As if to prove that he was not just a drop in the ocean, he searched among the crowd.

Just at this moment, a woman pushing a suitcase passed by him in a hurry, as if something was chasing her.

Su Yumian smiled bitterly and said to himself, "See, I'm not the only one..."

But where can I go after escaping?

The world is so big, and he suddenly realized that he has nowhere to go.

“Buzz buzz buzz!”

Just as I was thinking about it, the phone in my pocket vibrated.

He picked it up hesitantly and took a look, then heaved a sigh of relief. It wasn't Fu Quezhou calling.

"Hello, Dad?"

"Mianmian, your mother and I received the knee pads you sent. They're very useful..."

"Check-in for flight XX will begin in one hour. Please be prepared..."

Father Su's words were interrupted by the announcement in the hall. He listened carefully in silence and asked, "Mianmian, where are you?"

"I...I'm..." Su Yumian's voice was choked with sobs, and he couldn't continue speaking. He was afraid that he would cry.

Father Su on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, then he sighed and spoke in a gentler tone, "Mianmian, if you're tired outside, just come back. I can support you two even if I have to pick up scrap."

Su Yumian, who had been able to hold back his tears, burst into tears instantly after hearing these words. He was afraid that he would cry out loud, so he covered his mouth tightly.

Su's father on the other end of the phone also cooperated and remained silent until Su Yumian stopped crying and took the initiative to speak, "Dad, I'm not tired. I'm outside now. I'll call you when I get back."

"Okay, take care of yourself out there, and don't be reluctant to eat, okay."

"Well, Dad, I'm hanging up first."

After hanging up the phone, he sat there blankly for a long time to calm down before slowly getting up and walking out of the airport.

Yes, he can't escape anymore.

This time he didn't stop a car, but walked aimlessly on the road. He was thinking that since he suddenly disappeared, Fu Quezhou must be looking for him frantically.

How should I face him when I get back? Should I continue to play the role of a submissive and obedient puppet, or should I muster up the courage to confront him?

No matter which one he chooses, it will not be the most advantageous for him.

Because he was thinking too seriously, he unknowingly walked into a small alley.

He was stunned and was about to turn around when the exit was blocked by a man wearing a helmet.

"Please make way." He said lightly.

However, the man in the helmet not only refused to give way, but instead took a step forward and slowly approached.

Su Yumian finally realized something was wrong. He backed away from the other person and threatened, "What do you want to do? Don't come over here. If you come over again, I'll call the police!"

When the man in the helmet saw him take out his cell phone to call the police, he rushed over, snatched the phone away, and quickly pulled out the SIM card.

"Don't be afraid, I just want you to go somewhere."

"No! Don't come over here!!"

However, the next second, the man in the helmet pounced on him and hit him on the back of the neck with a knife. Su Yumian's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
