Ruan Qingqing kept telling herself not to worry about Zeng Xi outside because it was useless.
Zeng Xi has taken a brave step forward, and she must move forward as well - looking for any chance of escape.
She looked up at the room she was in. It was completely enclosed, with thick iron bars on the windows and rock walls outside. It looked hopeless. But at least it's better than staying in an empty factory and facing that pervert.
At this moment, Ruan Qingqing suddenly thought of Chen Muyun.
wrong……
The pervert said that he killed Chen Muyun, but that's not true.
It was obvious that the pervert had no interest in her, and bringing her back here was not part of his plan, otherwise he would not have hesitated for a long time before deciding to kill her. She was pure trouble to him.
At that time, he had already knocked Chen Muyun to the ground and wanted to kill them both. Or if you are worried about leaving traces, it would be reasonable to bring both back together. Why did you bring her back alone?
Unless something unexpected happened at that time, he would not be able to bring Chen Muyun back. Now when she thought back, when the pervert said "kill" Chen Muyun, his expression seemed a little stiff?
Chen Muyun is not dead? He ran away?
Ruan Qingqing felt relieved, but then her heart sank again - if this speculation was reasonable, Chen Muyun should have called the police long ago, so why haven't the police come yet?
There was no solution to the problem if she continued to think about it, and Ruan Qingqing couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Naturally, she thought of Luo Pingjiang again. He should be even less likely to notice her disappearance, right? But why can't I help but feel hope in my heart whenever I think of him?
It's just wishful thinking. No matter how reliable he is, there is no way he can find her this time.
Ruan Qingqing pressed the light switch on the wall twice before turning it on. This house is very old, at least thirty or forty years. The lights flickered a few times and made crackling sounds. The wiring was badly aged.
Ruan Qingqing quickly checked the bed. She searched every inch of the old wooden bunk bed. Nothing useful was found, not even a piece of waste paper under the mattress.
She checked the table, wardrobe, etc. again. Ruan Qingqing didn't think she had the ability to strangle someone to death with clothes.
As for the small coal stove, a small pot, half a bag of rice, a teapot and the like in the corner, Ruan Qingqing estimated that she couldn't defeat the man even with two kitchen knives, so it would be foolish to rely on these things.
She leaned over to the door and listened. There was no sound outside. Does this mean that Zeng Xi had survived the difficult time tonight? She breathed a sigh of relief and went quietly to the bathroom again.
When I turned on the light in the bathroom, I saw that the decoration was also outdated and the wiring was aging. The paint on the walls was peeling a lot, the switch panels looked loose, and there were wires sticking out.
But overall it was clean, without any peculiar smell, especially the shower head and toilet, which looked new and of good brand, so they must have been replaced later.
As she watched, Ruan Qingqing was suddenly stunned. She stood there, lost in thought for a long time.
Then she looked at the shower head, then at the toilet, then back at the shower head. Then she turned the shower on and off several times. Finally, she lifted the toilet lid, reached in and felt around for a while, then closed it again.
At this moment, there was a slight "creaking" sound. She looked up and saw that it was the small window of the toilet. It was not closed tightly. Perhaps a screw was loose and it was shaking in the wind.
Ruan Qingqing's expression became increasingly cold and lonely.
The night is long and it is still a long time before sunrise.
——
Luo Pingjiang chased to a fork in the road, one leading up the mountain and the other leading down the mountain. This section is a cement road with no tire marks.
He immediately turned on the navigation on his phone, but unfortunately this place was too remote. Even these two roads were not shown on the map, and there were no buildings marked around.
Then we can only take a gamble first.
Luo Pingjiang drove towards the road leading up the mountain.
The car was driving very fast, and the image of Ruan Qingqing sitting there with a gentle expression kept appearing in his mind.
In fact, she had never sat in front of him like this, but she seemed to have been sitting in his heart like this all these years.
Half an hour later, he reached the top of the mountain.
No, it's empty, there's nothing. Along the way, not even a cave that could hide a person was found, let alone any trace of the man's vehicle.
He made a wrong judgment. The man did not follow common sense and hide in a higher and more secluded mountain.
It's already late at night.
Luo Pingjiang suppressed a curse in his heart, rubbed his face vigorously with his hands, his red eyes gleaming coldly in the night, and turned around and drove down the mountain.
——
It was four o'clock in the morning and it was still dark outside. The man woke up as usual. Almost as soon as he opened his eyes, he realized something was wrong and sat up abruptly.
There were constant noises coming from the small room inside, the sound of water, collisions, rustlings... The sounds were not loud, but they were very clear in the night.
The man's face changed. Zeng Xi was still sleeping beside him. He got up from the cage, grabbed the hammer, ran to the door, took out the key and opened it.
The room is bright.
The man was stunned.
He had a gloomy expression and looked at Ruan Qingqing, who was bending over to mop the floor.
Ruan Qingqing seemed startled. She clenched the mop with both hands and slowly stood up. "What? Did I disturb you?"
The man looked around vigilantly past her, his expression changed. If the original room could be considered basically clean, it just didn't look dirty or messy. Now it's completely changed-
The cement floor had been washed and mopped with water, and was spotless and shiny everywhere. The furniture also looked like it had been heavily rubbed and was glistening with water.
The few items that were originally there were now neatly arranged. The quilt on the bed was folded into pieces, without a single wrinkle to be seen. The whole room looks empty and clean.
This is especially true in the bathroom behind Ruan Qingqing. The man could see from a few meters away that the tile floor was polished to a gleaming shine, and the sink, shower, and toilet were all bright...
The man's gaze returned to Ruan Qingqing, very coldly: "What are you doing? What's wrong with you?!"
Ruan Qingqing tightened her grip on the mop and said, "Don't be so angry, okay? I think, since Zeng Xi and I are going to live here for a long time, we should cooperate in the future and make the house better, right?"
When the man heard the word "home", he felt the veins on his forehead throbbing and shouted, "Don't do unnecessary things!"
Ruan Qingqing lowered her head and spoke in an even lower voice: "I was actually still scared and couldn't sleep all night, so I just got up and cleaned up. I admit that I wanted to please you."
The man snorted and said, "Get out!", then strode into the bathroom and slammed the door.
The man was still cautious and looked around, but there was nothing unusual. He turned around, unzipped his trousers, and flushed the toilet.
The small window behind me creaked in the wind as usual, and the wind seemed a little strong this morning.
He also noticed that in the corner next to the toilet, there were some hygiene tools piled up, such as brooms and dustpans, with a few rags on top.
He took a look and saw nothing unusual. Forgive that woman for not daring or having the ability to play tricks.
