As Lin Mengru listened to door after door being pushed open, she finally realized that the people on the other side were indeed coming for her.
Regardless of how the other side discovered her whereabouts, she only knew one thing: if she was caught, she would definitely not have a good outcome.
He might end up like Chen Tianchi.
Thinking about this, the hairs on her body almost stood on end.
She doesn't want to be chopped into three pieces! No!
It's all her fault for not being able to wait for the news and insisting on coming to see for herself. Now look what's happened!
But regretting it now is useless; the most urgent thing is to find a way to escape as soon as possible.
At this moment, the other party had already pushed open the door next to his.
The next room was hers; the room she was in was a bare, unfinished house, with nowhere to hide.
No! Rather than sitting here and waiting to die, we should take a gamble.
Lin Mengru made a snap decision, quickly locked the door from the inside, jumped out of the window, and climbed down the security bars below.
Fortunately, this is only the third floor. If it were the 18th floor, she would be completely helpless.
She truly lives up to her dance background; besides hooking up with the top male fan, she's got some skills too.
She gracefully flipped over the windowsill, as nimble as a squirrel darting through tree branches.
As she locked the door, Zhao Xuan heard the sound and rushed over.
"Open the door, you inside!" Zhao Xuan roared angrily.
Seeing no response from inside, he punched the wooden door, smashing a large hole in it, and then reached out to unlock it.
"Stop right there!" Zhao Xuan saw Lin Mengru running away from the window.
Lin Mengru was so frightened that she slipped and fell face-first into the mud, injuring her nose and bleeding profusely. She wiped her face haphazardly, looking quite gruesome.
Lin Mengru, of course, wouldn't listen to him. She didn't have time to deal with the situation and quickly continued her escape.
Zhao Xuan then climbed down the railing.
The two of them were chasing each other.
Although Zhao Xuan was a martial arts expert, he was, after all, a man with a large frame.
Lin Mengru, on the other hand, used her agility to desperately squeeze into narrow places. Zhao Xuan almost caught her several times, but she always managed to escape in the end.
Half an hour later, Zhao Xuan finally lost track of Lin Mengru completely!
He returned to the base dejectedly, never imagining that he couldn't even catch a single woman.
Of course, he can't be blamed for this, because Lin Mengru is indeed no ordinary woman.
In contrast to his dejected state, the base was filled with a lively atmosphere.
This was the first time since the base was established that it had fought against invaders, and it had won a great victory.
As promised, Gao Feng added points to the scores of all the members in the base.
One kill equals 100 points.
The highest score was a whopping 700 points. The lowest score was still 100 points.
The most excited person was the middle-aged man, who could finally bring his wife and children into the base.
As for the others, most of them no longer have any family!
Several other members with families also accumulated enough points to enter the base.
In short, this is a happy ending for everyone except Lin Mengru.
To celebrate this victory, Sister Li brought out her best-kept secret: beef and frozen chicken.
There were three dishes for lunch: stir-fried beef with celery, braised beef, and stewed chicken with potatoes.
Add tomato and egg soup.
Sister Li not only cooked an extra dish, but also made sure to add plenty of it.
A 17-year-old boy was eating braised beef while wiping away tears.
According to him, he didn't eat as well during the Chinese New Year last year as he does now.
"Today was so much fun! I got 500 points in one go! 500 points!"
"That's right! I also got 300 points, which finally means I can bring my daughter over."
The atmosphere at the base was as lively as during the Chinese New Year, with everyone excitedly discussing the day's events.
Zhao Xuan was the only one who squatted dejectedly to one side.
Uncle Yun walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Little Zhao, don't blame yourself! It's just that the opponent was too cunning."
"Uncle Yun, I'm fine! I'm just having a little trouble accepting it right now."
Meanwhile, Lin Mengru finally returned to the rescue center.
Ignoring the probing gazes of others, she headed straight for Li Jin's office, where he kept his mistress.
"Brother Li! You have to stand up for Mengru this time!" Lin Mengru said coquettishly as she opened the door.
Lin Mengru opened the door and went inside, but there was no one behind the desk.
Has Li Jin not returned? But the door wasn't locked.
Lin Mengru knocked on the lounge door again. "Brother Li, are you in there?"
After Li Jin returned, he was either handling official business behind his desk or in the lounge.
"Brother Li, Brother Li! Are you in there?" Lin Mengru asked tentatively. Li Jin didn't like others entering his room, so she didn't dare to push the door open directly.
Just when Lin Mengru was about to give up, a gust of wind blew in, and the tightly closed door suddenly creaked open.
The door wasn't locked!
"Brother Li, are you in there?" Lin Mengru asked tentatively, peeking inside.
Li Jin isn't inside, so we should be able to go in.
Lin Mengru tiptoed and pushed open the door to the lounge.
Inside, there was a large bed that was 1.8 meters long, and all sorts of clothes were scattered on both sides of the bed.
The wardrobe was also opened, and there was a row of empty clothes racks on it. It was obvious that all the clothes had been taken away. The files next to the desk had been taken away, and the metal basin next to it was full of waste paper dust.
The safe had been opened, and all the valuables had been taken.
besides,
"What's going on? Is Brother Li going on a business trip somewhere else? Why didn't he tell me?"
A bad feeling arose in my heart. Why hadn't I heard a word from Li Jin for so long?
Lin Mengru frantically searched through the things in the office.
After searching extensively, she finally came to terms with reality.
Li Jin is gone!
"I don't believe it! I don't believe Brother Li would just abandon me like this!" Lin Mengru ran towards the door like a madwoman. The blood from her nose that she had fallen on the ground earlier had dried, and the reddish-brown worms looked particularly ferocious on her pale face.
She frantically grabbed at everyone who passed by, questioning them, her face contorted and grotesque. Gone was her former charming appearance; she was more terrifying than a demon.
“Miss Lin, please don’t get agitated! Brother Li is gone; he’s been transferred!” a trembling nurse replied.
"Nonsense, you're talking nonsense! Brother Li, how could he just leave me like this?" He said he would take me back to H country with him, and he said she was much better than his wife.
"Miss Lin, everything I said is true!" the nurse said timidly.
An hour later, she finally accepted reality.
Li Jin is gone! He went back to H country without telling her, and he may never come back.
She was cruelly abandoned once again.
