After Zhou Sese's endless pleading, Xiao Cui finally nodded hesitantly.
Xiao Cui went out with the bowl of noodles and came back half an hour later.
Zhou Sese looked at her expectantly, and Xiao Cui smiled and said, "You're lucky. Mr. Smith seems very happy today. He said you can walk around on the second floor, but you are not allowed to go up or downstairs."
Zhou Sese breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Xiao Cui."
Xiao Cui quickly shook her head and said happily, "You're welcome. We must take care of each other on our way abroad. You are so beautiful. If you can find a wealthy husband in the future, you must not forget me."
Zhou Sese pretended to nod, "Don't worry, Xiao Cui."
After Xiao Cui left, Zhou Sese walked out of the room. The entire corridor was very long and looked like an old tube-shaped building with many rooms. The room she lived in was in the middle.
Zhou Sese tentatively walked towards one side, and when she reached the end, she saw a small window above her head. Zhou Sese held the window eaves with both hands and jumped up hard. Through that momentary glance, she found that the layout here was actually circular, and there was a very tall tower in the middle, standing tall, like a watchtower.
In other words, as long as there is someone on the top of the tower, they can see the entire terrain clearly, and it will be difficult to escape.
Zhou Sese continued to walk to the other side. At the end of the other side was a staircase. She could go down to the first floor by following the staircase. Zhou Sese had just gone down one step.
Xiao Cui appeared out of nowhere and said anxiously, "Hey! Didn't I tell you that you can only walk around on the second floor and not go downstairs?"
Zhou Sese retracted her foot, turned her head, and smiled at Xiao Cui, "Sorry, I forgot."
The next day, Zhou Sese also failed to meet Mr. Smith.
On the third day, Mr. Smith still hadn't appeared.
And not knowing anything about Sheng Xijiang, Zhou Sese felt a little anxious.
When Xiao Cui came in to deliver the meal, Zhou Sese took the bowl of noodles, but her hand suddenly slipped and the bowl of noodles fell to the ground, and the small white porcelain bowl shattered into pieces in an instant.
"Sorry, it's my fault." Zhou Sese quickly squatted down to pick up the fragments.
"Let me do it." Xiao Cui picked up the broken bowl on the ground first.
Zhou Sese narrowed her eyes as she stared at the back of Xiao Cui's head, picked up the stick that had been prepared long ago from behind her, and hit Xiao Cui above the shoulder.
With a bang.
Xiao Cui rolled her eyes and fell straight to the ground.
Zhou Sese went out with a stick and followed the same route as last time, going directly down to the first floor.
Hearing the sound of someone talking, Zhou Sese quickly hid in the corner, not daring to breathe too heavily.
A limping man walked in. He was wearing a mask, revealing only half of his face below his nose. As the man walked in, he was followed by seven or eight young men in Zhongshan suits.
They sat down in the living room.
One of the men in the Mao suit said, "We've already got Lu'er. The girl is lucky to have gotten the plan for the next five years of the Magic City. Lu'er will be here by this time tomorrow."
Another one was also eager to take credit, "I took advantage of the convenience of translation and obtained some sophisticated documents."
The masked man extended his hand.
A document instantly appeared in his hands.
The masked man flipped open the first page, becoming increasingly excited as he read, finally bursting into laughter. "This document can fetch at least 100,000 yuan. Not bad, very well done. When we go abroad, I'll definitely arrange a villa for you. No, I'll arrange a manor for you, and let you become a farmer!"
The other party smiled even more broadly, "Thank you, Mr. Smith, thank you, sir! I would do anything for you, even if it means death!"
The masked man sighed, "If it weren't for this damned world, we wouldn't have to do such a thing. Back then... let's not talk about it anymore. Anyway, we were all victims, and we must unite and seek justice for ourselves.
Our parents and our families suffered so much back then, and now they’re sending us away with just a few words. How could such a good thing happen in the world? Don’t you agree?”
Several young people were instantly filled with indignation, "Yes! Yes!"
"If it weren't for this, my mother wouldn't have died in her forties."
"If it weren't for that incident, my fourteen-year-old sister wouldn't have been sent down to the countryside and eventually died at the hands of an old bachelor. When we went there, her body had already rotted. My sister loved beauty the most!"
"And my family, when our house was ransacked, my grandparents were pissed to death!"
"Revenge, revenge, revenge is a must!"
The masked man smiled. "Alright. Go get to work. Remember, the closer the intelligence and clues you get to Zhongyang, the greater the reward. I believe in each and every one of you. After all, you are all highly educated and talented people."
The young men in Zhongshan suits turned around and left.
The masked man was the only one left in the living room.
His eyes slowly turned to Zhou Sese.
Zhou Sese knew that she had been discovered.
She simply walked out slowly.
The masked man raised his mask and said, "My friend, you are hiding in the dark, so you can't see the light."
Zhou Sese looked at him straight in the eyes. "Wearing a mask, isn't it the same as not being able to see the light?"
The other person's eyes narrowed.
Zhou Sese approached him step by step, "Brother Liang Heng, long time no see."
She guessed wrong.
Before meeting Liang Heng today, she suspected not him, but someone else.
Liang Heng was silent for a few seconds, then slowly took off the mask on his face, revealing a face that existed in Zhou Sese's memory.
