Chapter 172 Escape from the Hotel
Li Ruochu stood in front of the window, staring at the seemingly calm but dangerous street outside the hotel, his brows furrowed, and a bold plan already came up with in his mind.
After a moment, she turned around abruptly, strode to the bed, grabbed the flat sheets with both hands, and lifted them up with force. The sheets rolled like waves and were pulled off by her.
Then she quickly picked up the scissors beside her, looked determined, and cut the bed sheet without hesitation.
The sharp blade of the scissors easily cut the sheets, making a crisp sound.
Nan Zhiyu was originally sitting aside, looking at Li Ruchu's sudden action with a puzzled look on her face.
When she realized what Li Ruchu was going to do, her expression instantly became serious.
"Chu Chu, you're not going to use these as ropes, are you?"
Nan Zhiyu's eyes widened with worry. She quickly stood up and walked quickly to Li Ruochu's side. "No, no, this is too dangerous."
As she spoke, she reached out to stop Li Ruochu from going any further.
"This is a high-end hotel, and the sheets here are very strong. If I didn't have scissors, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to tear them apart."
Li Ruochu didn't even raise his head, his hands kept moving, but his tone was extremely firm.
She knew very well that she could not just sit here and wait for death. Zhong Tingyan had deliberately trapped them here just to prevent her from meeting Feng Yizhou.
So, she had to go out no matter what to break this suffocating situation.
"Then I'll go with you." Nan Zhiyu looked at Li Ruochu's resolute expression, gritted her teeth, and said firmly.
She really couldn't bear to let Li Ruchu go on adventures alone.
"No!" Li Ruochu stopped what he was doing, raised his head, looked at Nan Zhiyu firmly, and directly rejected her kindness.
"Why." Nan Zhiyu asked in confusion, her eyes full of grievance and confusion. She didn't understand why Li Ruchu didn't let her accompany her to face danger.
"Zhizhi, I know you are doing this for my own good and are worried about my safety,"
Li Ruochu put down the scissors in his hand, gently held Nan Zhiyu's hand, his eyes full of gratitude and helplessness, "But I can only do this by myself. Zhong Tingyan is a very suspicious person. If he finds out that the three of us have run away, he will definitely find another person to monitor us. In this way, we will have no chance to escape his control."
After Li Ruochu finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if to calm down his complicated emotions, and then continued, "As long as I can hold him back for a day, I will have a chance to prevent him from finding me. With Jiang Mu here, Zhong Tingyan won't dare to do anything to you."
Jiang Mu stood aside, listening quietly to Li Ruchu's words, nodding secretly in his heart. He understood Li Ruchu's good intentions.
However, if Li Ruochu were to go out alone and something unexpected happened, how would he explain to President Feng in the future?
President Feng entrusted Li Ruchu to him, but he failed to protect her, which made him feel guilty and worried.
"Secretary Li, let me go with you. I'm worried about you..." Jiang Mu couldn't help but speak, his eyes revealing deep worry and concern.
"Jiang Mu, you must stay here and protect Zhizhi."
Li Ruochu turned around and looked at Jiang Mu, with an unquestionable firmness in his eyes, "I feel so sorry for Zhizhi coming here. If something happens, I won't be able to explain to Nan Zhiyu's parents. This is originally my own business, I can't let you down."
Li Ruochu knew very well that this operation was full of unknowns and dangers, and she could not let her friends fall into danger again.
Li Ruochu looked focused and determined, his hands dancing quickly like the wind, continuing to stop Nan Zhiyu and Jiang Mu from trying to take risks together.
There was determination in her eyes, as if she was conveying her unquestionable resolve to the two of them: she had to face this matter alone.
Then she threw herself once more into the action at hand.
I saw her skillfully pulling off the remaining sheets and quilt covers on the bed one by one, her movements were quick and decisive, without any hesitation.
After cutting, she walked to the window and threw one end of the cut strips out of the window, letting them sway gently in the wind.
Then she bent down and carefully tied the other end of the cloth tightly to the sturdy bed beside the bed.
Her fingers nimbly shuttled between the strips of cloth, tying one tight knot after another, each knot carrying her desire for freedom and her determination to escape from the predicament.
Before this, Li Ruochu had made many attempts to test the strength of the cloth strips.
She grasped the cloth tightly with both hands, pulled it hard, shook it, and even leaned her entire weight on it to test its bearing capacity.
After repeated confirmation, she knew that the simple rope made of sheets and quilt covers was strong enough to support her to get down from the window smoothly.
What's more, Li Ruochu's physical strength is quite good, thanks to the high-intensity training that Shen Yubai had given her before.
Those days when she had once shed sweat have now become her powerful asset in facing difficulties.
Li Ruochu stood in front of the window and looked down, only to see that the ground below seemed to be on the other side of the distant shore.
She took a deep breath, as if absorbing the tense atmosphere in the entire room into her body, and then slowly exhaled, trying to calm the slight waves in her heart.
A determination flashed in her eyes. She held the rope tightly with both hands, pushed her feet against the wall, and slowly moved her body towards the window.
Her movements were cautious and steady as she climbed down the wall step by step.
Every step, every change of hands, is full of power and focus.
The wind outside the window gently brushed her face and blew her hair, but it did not affect her firm steps at all.
Just like that, Li Ruochu resolutely went down from the window.
Li Ruochu looked at the long rope in front of him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, then he turned and left the hotel.
Li Ruochu hailed a taxi and left.
"Miss, where are you going!"
"I'm going to..."
Li Ruochu was about to speak when he suddenly thought of something.
Then he slowly said: "Let's go to the most prosperous shopping mall here!"
"Okay, miss, please sit down!" After saying that, the driver immediately drove the car to the mall.
Looking at the long large screen outside the mall, a smile suddenly appeared on Li Ruochu's face!
It’s really nice to be here!
As long as we find a missing person notice here, I'm sure Feng Yizhou will see it!
Just when Li Ruochu was about to walk in, someone suddenly came in front of Li Ruochu.
"Ms. Long, what happened last time was a misunderstanding. I wonder if I can buy you a cup of coffee!"
A man invited Li Ruchu with a flattering smile.
