"Are you kidding me? With your skinny arms and legs, how could you possibly hold them both off? This kind of thing can only be done by a grown man like me!"
"Don't change the subject. I'm just asking you, are you going to run away or not?! Just answer this question!"
Shen Jingchuan sighed: "If you don't run, I definitely can't leave you alone. But you can't be stubborn about this; you have to listen to me. Go out and seek help; maybe I'll be rescued soon too."
“No,” Wen Yan shook her head. “You might think I’m being irrational. But I don’t have my phone with me, and this is an abandoned factory. There’s probably no one around for miles. You’re telling me to go out and ask for help? Who am I supposed to ask for help? By the time I reach a populated area, you might already be dead. I can’t accept that outcome.”
Wen Yan choked up as she spoke.
Shen Jingchuan paused for a moment upon hearing her voice: "You...you cried?"
"What's wrong? Is it not allowed? You've already given me your last words here, can't I even shed a couple of tears?"
At this point, Wen Yan began to sob uncontrollably.
Shen Jingchuan wasn't even afraid of death, but he panicked when he heard Wen Yan cry. To make matters worse, she was standing back to back with him, just a step away, but he couldn't comfort her face to face.
"Okay, okay, stop crying. I take back what I said earlier, alright? None of what I said before counts! We'll stick together. I'll deal with the stutterer, and you focus on the other one, okay?"
"That's more like it!"
The two finally reached an agreement and temporarily stopped talking.
Just then, they vaguely heard someone shouting outside.
Moreover, judging from the sound, the person seemed to be not far from the abandoned factory.
"Who's inside?! Speak up!"
When Wen Yan first heard the voice, she wasn't quite sure.
She immediately asked Shen Jingchuan, "Did you hear that? It sounds like someone's coming."
Shen Jingchuan hummed in agreement: "It seems like he's knocking on the door."
really.
People outside were banging loudly on the metal gate of the abandoned factory.
"I see the light is on! Where did you get the electricity? Open the door right now, or I'm calling the police!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, the big-headed man's voice rang out.
"Who are you? Why are you disturbing the peace in the middle of the night?"
"I'm the one who looks after the place and patrols. This factory has been abandoned for a long time. Who do you belong to? Where do you get your electricity? Open the gate, and hurry up!"
The big-headed man then whispered to the fur-clad man for a while, but because they were speaking too softly, Wen Yan and Shen Jingchuan couldn't hear them clearly.
But soon, they heard the two hurriedly packing their things.
Then the big-headed man spoke up.
"Coming, coming, I'll open the door right away, don't worry."
Immediately afterwards, the voice of the person from before became clear, indicating that he had already entered.
"What's going on with you? How did you get in? Don't you know this is a private factory?"
The big-headed man immediately chuckled and explained, "We're homeless people. We thought this place was abandoned, so we figured we'd just stay here for the night. We don't know how the electricity works, but it works as soon as you flip the switch. Hehe, might as well use it!"
"You can use it as soon as you pull the switch back. I think you're stealing electricity. By the way, I saw sparks coming from under the door earlier. What's that? Are you trying to set this place on fire?"
"No, no, we were setting off fireworks. We found these fireworks on the road. We'd never set them off before and just wanted to see what it was like."
"Really? What kind of fireworks make a sizzling sound?"
"We're done! The 'zzzz' sound was added by me, you can hear it if you don't believe me. I just love the 'zzzz' sound when fireworks are going off. Hehehe, don't worry, we'll leave as soon as it's light tomorrow, we won't cause you any trouble."
Wen Yan became anxious.
After finally getting someone to come, are we just going to send them away already?
Wen Yan immediately cried out for help.
The patrolmen were about to leave, but they immediately turned around when they heard Wen Yan's voice.
"What's going on? Are there still people inside? I heard someone shouting for help."
"Yes, yes, there is someone, she's my woman." The big-headed man was still chuckling and started making up a new story. "She's a homeless woman I picked up. She's mentally ill and often shouts 'Murder! Help!' You don't have to worry about her, that's just how she is. She can shout it a hundred or eighty times a night."
"Yeah?"
"Yes. It's very late now, you should go home and rest early."
Sensing that her only savior might be sent away again, Wen Yan was extremely anxious.
However, she didn't dare to call for help again immediately.
To be honest, she thought the patrolmen were really bold.
If it were her, she wouldn't dare to face two complete strangers alone so late at night.
But this person is now their only hope.
So even knowing that it might implicate him, Wen Yan still couldn't give up.
She pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the sounds outside. Only after confirming that she heard the patrolman walk out and even start his electric scooter did Wen Yan shout at the top of her lungs.
"Call the police! They're kidnappers! Call the police! Call the police!!"
In fact, before Wen Yan could finish speaking, the fur-clad man gave an order to the big-headed man.
He hadn't intended for the patrolman to leave in the first place, but he hadn't expected the patrolman to arrive by bicycle.
