There was a curtain on the cart to cover the person. After putting the person inside, the man opened the door and glanced outside.
Everyone outside was busy, and there was no one in the corridor. The man looked at the camera above his head, which was no longer flashing, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
Fortunately, he had prepared in advance.
The man opened the door and then bent over to push the cart out of the room.
However, instead of going through the tea restaurant, they walked towards the staff entrance on the other side.
At the tea restaurant, Xie Kerong glanced at Shen Jiayu sitting opposite her from time to time and noticed that his expression was gradually becoming impatient.
Finally, he called over the manager, frowning, and asked, "Where did you take her? Why isn't she ready yet?"
Xie Kerong shook her head inwardly at his restless nature, thinking it was just like a little kid coming out with his mother for the first time.
They've only been gone a short while, and they're already in such a hurry to go find her.
Upon hearing this, the manager gave an understanding smile, then bent down respectfully and said, "Sir, young ladies these days are quite meticulous, it might take a while, please don't be in a hurry..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Jiayu grabbed his wrist.
For some reason, he had a vague sense of unease, especially when he tried to call her and found her phone on the table, which he had forgotten to take. The unease intensified.
"Take me there now."
His attitude was so firm that the manager could only sigh helplessly and look at Xie Kerong with some difficulty.
Xie Kerong understood her meaning and spoke up to smooth things over, saying, "The young lady is tidying up her dress in her room. If there are other employees resting inside, wouldn't it be inappropriate for a grown man like you to just barge in?"
"How about I go take a look?"
After hearing her words, Shen Jiayu realized that he had been too hasty and impulsive, so he nodded and accepted the suggestion.
Now, as long as we can confirm where Pingping is, it doesn't matter who goes there.
The manager gave Xie Kerong a grateful smile and turned to lead the way for her: "Miss, please come with me."
Xie Kerong followed her through a long corridor, then turned right and walked towards the end of the corridor.
Over there, the door to the staff break room was tightly closed, and it was difficult to hear any sounds coming from inside.
Seeing this, the manager stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Miss, are you done?"
There was no response from inside. Thinking that perhaps the hairdryer was too loud for her to hear, the manager raised his voice and asked again.
But after waiting for a few seconds, there was still no movement inside.
Xie Kerong sensed something was wrong, frowned, looked at the manager beside her, and asked, "Is this door locked?"
The manager shook her head. She remembered that when she left, she hadn't locked the door; she had only left it slightly ajar.
Seeing this, Xie Kerong stopped talking and stepped forward to turn the doorknob.
But the doorknob wouldn't budge, and I couldn't open it at all!
Where are the keys?
Xie Kerong couldn't turn the doorknob, so she turned to the manager and asked loudly.
The manager looked rather grim, because this was the staff break room, and almost no one except the staff would come here, so everyone assumed that the doors here would not be locked.
Now that the door is locked, she really needs to go find the key.
"Wait for me a moment, I'll go find the keys."
After the manager finished speaking, he turned and strode away.
Xie Kerong stared at the tightly closed door in front of her, and pounded on it twice, unwilling to give up: "Pingping, are you in there, Pingping!"
It was quiet inside, and no one responded to her.
Shen Jiayu, who was sitting by the window and staring in the direction they left, suddenly saw the manager walking quickly over from that direction with a strange expression. He didn't see Xie Kerong, and his heart skipped a beat.
Before my brain could even process it, my body had already stood up from the chair and strode toward the manager.
The manager was about to go to the other side to find the key when suddenly a man appeared in front of her, blocking her way.
Looking up, I saw it was that same living Yama from before.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Judging from how much he valued that lady just now, if he finds out there's a problem now, he probably won't let them off the hook.
"Where are you going? Where are they?"
Shen Jiayu stared into her eyes and asked in a deep voice.
The manager shuddered, forced himself to calm down, swallowed hard, and said, "The door to the break room is locked and won't open. I'll go find the key."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiayu released her abruptly: "Then what are you still standing here for? Hurry up and go find it!"
After being yelled at, the manager looked at the hand that had just been released and was dumbfounded.
Does this living devil want to hear what she's saying? If he hadn't insisted on rushing out and grabbing her to question her, she would already be looking for the keys!
But finding the key to open the door was the priority right now, so she didn't have time to say anything more and turned around to continue walking quickly in that direction.
Shen Jiayu suddenly felt a surge of panic in his chest and, guided by instinct, walked toward the direction where the manager had just come from.
As I walked down the long corridor, I heard knocking on the door and Xie Kerong's voice coming from the right.
Xie Kerong was banging on the door when suddenly a strong force pushed her to the side.
She managed to steady herself by holding onto the wall, and was startled when she saw Shen Jiayu suddenly appear beside her.
His expression was rather frightening; his eyes were fixed on the closed door, then he looked at her and demanded, "Where is she?!"
Even though he was wearing glasses, the expression in his eyes was inexplicably creepy, as if he were about to run away and go crazy at any moment.
