Ye Xiaobo immediately felt the heavy weight; no matter how thin Xia Baozhu was, she still weighed eighty pounds.
He took a deep breath; squatting down to carry someone up was much harder than squatting halfway down and then standing up again.
Ye Xiaobo couldn't get up immediately, so he had to let go of Xia Baozhu's ankle and pull the curtains down with all his might to slowly stand up.
Xia Baozhu also grabbed the curtains. As Ye Xiaobo got up, she saw the top of the curtains. Luckily, they were made of wire.
Feeling Xia Baozhu's weight, Ye Xiaobo dared not look up, afraid that he would drop her.
Xia Baozhu removed the two wires, and the curtain, now without the wires, hung down to the ground.
"Okay, I got it." Xia Baozhu said excitedly, looking down.
"Then I'll squat down, and you hold the curtains."
Ye Xiaobo felt that the two of them worked together very well, which gave him a sense of accomplishment and made him even more fond of Xia Baozhu.
After Xia Baozhu squatted down, she got off Ye Xiaobo. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she slipped and stepped right on one of Ye Xiaobo's hands.
"Ouch!" Xia Baozhu plopped down on the ground before Ye Xiaobo could even cry out.
Ignoring the pain in his hand, Ye Xiaobo quickly got up and helped Xia Baozhu up: "Zhuzhu, are you alright? Did you hurt yourself?"
Xia Baozhu shuddered at his call, and she quickly took out the wire and handed it to him: "I'm fine, you can try it."
"Zhuzhu, you are the bravest girl I have ever met!"
Ye Xiaobo praised Xia Baozhu with sparkling eyes, for not being spoiled even after being thrown down when she went up to get the wire.
Xia Baozhu suppressed her nausea, lowered her head shyly, and rubbed the hem of her clothes: "It's alright, there are many people braver than me."
Ye Xiaobo tried to pat her on the shoulder, but Xia Baozhu dodged it.
He thought she was just shy, so he smiled and said, "We'll be able to go out in a bit."
Ye Xiaobo was indeed skilled; with his tinkering, the door was indeed opened.
Xia Baozhu looked at her outfit and said, "Wait for me."
She pulled the smooth black sheet off the bed, folded it a few times, and covered her head with it, tying the two corners around her neck to make a large cloak that covered her whole body.
There was still a little bit of flooring left, but she didn't care, since it wasn't her stuff anyway.
"I don't want to be seen in my pajamas, so that no one can see me," Xia Baozhu explained to Ye Xiaobo.
"Zhuzhu, you're so smart," Ye Xiaobo praised.
The two people opened the door. The outside was dimly lit, with a ten-meter-long corridor and a wooden door on one side. It was very quiet.
It's probably very late now, so we can't hear anything.
Xia Baozhu and Ye Xiaobo walked out quietly, one after the other.
Stepping out of the corridor, there is a vertical corridor with rooms on both sides, much like the layout of a hotel.
Xia Baozhu noticed something different and went over to find that it was a staircase leading down.
After descending the stairs, Ye Xiaobo stopped looking at the dimly lit and cold hall.
He grabbed Xia Baozhu's black bed sheet cloak and whispered, "Zhuzhu, come with me, I know the way."
Xia Baozhu nodded; she recognized them by the decor—they were at the Deep Blue Hot Spring Restaurant.
This place shouldn't be called a restaurant; it should be renamed a comprehensive leisure club.
Not only can you eat, soak in hot springs, get massages, sing, and dance, Xia Baozhu suspects that special services are also offered here.
If this guy Guan could drug her, he could definitely drug others too, so he's also suspected of trafficking women.
Xia Baozhu suddenly thought of Chenshan Tower. Had someone as perceptive as him ever investigated this place?
The patrol officers must come here to patrol every night, right? Didn't they find anything unusual?
Or should she go back and write an anonymous complaint first?
Regardless of whether it's true or not, let's report it. I'm sure Chenshanlou, who's aiming for higher positions, will be interested.
If you're a pervert, you should be a pervert.
I'm afraid these perverts will cooperate with each other.
Ye Xiaobo knew of a back door, and he planned to sneak away with Xia Baozhu through it.
He's now pretty sure that all of this was orchestrated by Brother Guan to intimidate him.
He's going to the Guan family tomorrow to demand an explanation.
"Where are you guys going?" Guan Ge's slow, gentle voice came from behind. "Didn't you have enough fun?"
Xia Baozhu quickly hid behind Ye Xiaobo: "Someone has spotted us, what should we do?"
Hearing Xia Baozhu's frightened voice, Ye Xiaobo immediately felt sorry for her. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I know him. He won't do anything to us."
He wasn't afraid of anything except ghosts and monsters; he even dared to provoke Brother Guan.
Ye Xiaobo stretched out a hand to protect Xia Baozhu behind him, and facing Guan Ge who was walking towards them, he straightened his neck, glared, and strongly accused him.
"Brother Guan, what do you mean by repeatedly tying me up here? Don't think I'm really afraid of you!"
Guan Xingfeng was still wearing that black outfit, with the collar open.
With one hand in his pocket and a cigarette dangling from his mouth, he listened to Ye Xiaobo's words with a disdainful smile on his face.
This guy is so brainless, naive, and impulsive; any pretty woman can easily fool him.
After more than an hour, he began to show tenderness and care for the woman behind him.
Wow, that's quite a skill.
Guan Xingfeng glanced at Xia Baozhu, who was wrapped up in a dark bundle, and sneered.
"It's just a small game. If you don't like it, then forget it."
Guan Xingfeng casually uttered a sentence, as if he had really made a trivial joke with Ye Xiaobo.
Ye Xiaobo had disliked Guan Xingfeng for some time now, and was even more disgusted by the fact that Guan Xingfeng had manipulated him.
This person is simply unreasonable, acts irrationally, and is a madman.
No wonder the other brothers were so afraid of him; who wouldn't be afraid of a powerful madman?
Even though Ye Xiaobo suffered such a humiliating defeat, he could only swallow his anger for the time being, because he was no match for Guan Xingfeng.
You'll see sooner or later.
"The back door is closed, let's go through the front door." Guan Xingfeng kindly reminded Ye Xiaobo as he turned around.
Ye Xiaobo protected Xia Baozhu, lagging behind her by half a step, and glared at Guan Xingfeng warily as they passed by.
Guan Xingfeng followed behind them, watching them pass through the revolving door and stand on the steps to talk.
Under the starry night sky, the doorway light illuminated their smiling faces; the man was handsome and the woman beautiful, a scene straight out of a romantic youth film.
"Zhuzhu, where do you live? Let me take you home."
"No need, Xiao Bo, I can take a taxi myself."
Looking at the dark sky, Xia Baozhu estimated that it was around one o'clock in the morning, or maybe later.
Ye Xiaobo didn't have a car, and he felt intimidated by the darkness.
He looked back at the hall, which was warm and bright. If all else failed, he would shamelessly make do with the night there.
He would leave as soon as it was light.
"Zhuzhu, there are very few cars around at this time. How about..."
Before Ye Xiaobo could finish speaking, a taxi saw them and slowly pulled up.
