Yu Zihan and the others were stared at by the bearded man's sharp gaze, and their uneasiness was magnified. Yu Zihan looked up and met the bearded man's gaze, which was a cold and ruthless look. It was like a sharp sword that slashed through their hearts, making them shudder.
She felt as if she was in a horror movie. The bearded man's gaze was like the gaze of a demon, making her unable to breathe. She tried to look away, but the bearded man's gaze remained fixed on her, as if he wanted to see through her heart.
"How could someone like this be here? He's either among the criminals with serious criminal convictions or mingling with the underworld. Someone like this shouldn't be here." Yu Zihan broke out in a cold sweat at the sudden thought that popped into her head. Could it be that the scenes in the film were actually happening in real life? And right before her eyes?
Yu Zihan lowered her head at this thought. She had no other choice but to remain unchanged in the face of all changes. She tried to slow her heartbeat, but the fear in her heart was like an invisible hand, tightly grasping her heart. This feeling was something she had never experienced before.
She told herself not to be afraid. The guards outside were all police officers. If anything happened, they wouldn't just sit there and watch. Besides, she had her own martial arts skills. If anything really happened, she would be able to handle it. She reassured herself over and over again.
The bearded man's gaze slowly swept across the crowd, finally resting on a single point. His eyes flickered with an uncertain light, as if he were contemplating something. However, he didn't move an inch, maintaining his original posture, standing there like a statue.
Seeing that the bearded man didn't take any further action, the wretched man became extremely anxious. He walked up to the bearded man again and said with a smile, "Brother, look, can you help me this time? How could I let you suffer?" There was a hint of teasing in his tone, as if to suggest that the bearded man should not be ungrateful.
However, the bearded man didn't give him a good look. He simply gave the wretched man a cold look, then slowly said, "Get out of the way. Do you really need to teach me how to do things?" His voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the underworld, making people shudder.
Yu Zihan secretly groaned in her heart, and she prayed silently in her heart: "Dad, please come and save me quickly, this place is really too scary."
After the bearded man spoke, the entire room fell into a dead silence. Everyone held their breath, not daring to make a single sound. The sleazy man who had been so malicious a moment ago also obediently shut his mouth and sat aside, silent. The oppressive atmosphere was suffocating, as if the entire room were shrouded in a shadow.
Finally, someone couldn't stand the silence any longer. He rushed to the door and shouted, "Is anyone here? I need to pee." His voice was rough and urgent, like a caged beast longing to breathe freely. Although his words were vulgar, they broke the silence in the room, making people feel that the people in the room were alive and connected to the outside world.
"Who wants to pee?" the guard came over and asked loudly inside.
"I, I, I..." For a moment, it was as if a hornet's nest had been stirred up, and people all wanted to pee.
"Take your turn, one by one," the guard said sternly. People rushed out, but returned slowly. This meant they spent an hour using the restroom.
An hour later, the room fell silent again. Yu Zihan remained vigilant. She felt that today's events were very strange. She didn't think the three of them were framed, but she thought there must be something hidden. She prayed in her heart that this night would pass quickly.
People always think that night is when all kinds of demons and monsters appear and bad things happen.
It is relatively safer during the day, after all, those maggots cannot stand the light.
Around one in the morning, when most people were drowsy, Yu Zihan, still on high alert, smelled a faint fragrance. She quickly pulled out an antidote pill from her memory card. She covered her mouth with her hand, pretending to yawn, and took the pill. Having learned from her previous experience, she didn't give the antidote to her sister or Zhou Bingxuan.
Just as she had thought, everyone soon fell into an even deeper sleep.
Yu Zihan also pretended to be asleep, maintaining her breathing evenly.
A quarter of an hour later, the guard outside knocked lightly on the gate railings a few times. Although the sound was very small, it was still very abrupt in the quiet night.
"Can you use less strength? Why are you making such a big noise?" At this time, a thin old man next to the bearded man stood up and whispered to the outside of the door.
"Are they all asleep?" the person outside asked in a low voice.
"Nonsense, how can I talk to you here when you are not asleep?" the old man said with disgust.
"What backgrounds do you observe of the newcomers?" the person outside asked again.
"I can't tell. They must have complicated backgrounds. Their demeanor doesn't seem simple. Didn't you observe them carefully when you arrested them? Are you blind?" The old man's tone was full of disgust.
"What can we do about the boss's arrangements? I hope we won't get into any trouble this time." The man spoke again.
"Don't talk about these useless things. I don't care about this. Have you checked clearly whether all the people here are ordinary thugs? What is the identity of that bearded man? I don't think he is an ordinary person." The old man reminded again.
"Isn't he with Liang? I heard Liangzi call him big brother?" The answer from the person outside was ambiguous.
"You're so fucking useless. You're taking action without even figuring out people's backgrounds. I think you're courting death." The old man was a little angry this time, and his voice was clearly annoyed.
"Go back and tell him that this operation should be postponed. It's better not to make the money than to take the risk, okay?" The old man's tone was warning and solemn.
The old man turned around after he finished speaking and began to observe each person carefully. He would stop for a moment in front of each person, observing and examining them carefully before leaving.
As the old man approached her, Yu Zihan took a few deep breaths to adjust her breathing. Her beard was smooth and even.
The old man stood in front of her motionless. Yu Zihan closed her eyes and could not see the old man's expression. Suddenly, she felt the old man squatting down, and he was very close to her face.
