"It's okay, I'll leave after you fall asleep!" Zhang Ke stood up, walked to her, and reached out to touch her hair.

Jiang Lian dodged subconsciously. To her, Zhang Ke was now a monster, a wolf in sheep's clothing.

It's too late to regret now. Thinking of her brother and sister-in-law's earnest advice to her, Jiang Lian wanted to beat herself to death.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Zhang Ke thought she was just having a bad temper.

"No!" Jiang Lian replied indifferently, then lay down and wrapped herself in the quilt with her clothes.

It was such a hot day, but her heart was cold. It was her first time to come into contact with love, but she was blind and fell into this wolf's den.

Now, she was alone and couldn't panic. She had to stay calm and think of a way to escape. She must not reveal her true identity. If Zhang Ke found out, she would have no chance anymore.

Zhang Ke and Jiang Lian had known each other for such a long time, and in his eyes, she was just a simple-minded, deceitful little girl, so he did not suspect that she already knew anything. He just thought that she was very coquettish and was dissatisfied with the environment here.

"Then go to sleep. I'll watch you sleep!" Zhang Ke sat on the bench next to her and just stared at her back, making her feel cold.

Jiang Lian was sweating all over and covered herself with the quilt, her hair wet with sweat.

She knew that the most important thing now was to find a way to contact her brothers.

But he was unfamiliar with the place and Zhang Ke was watching closely.

She could only pretend that she was asleep. It was not until Zhang Ke left and she heard the door closing that Jiang Lian relaxed, emerged from the quilt, and gasped for breath.

She didn't even dare to turn on the light and could only grope carefully in the dark to find her backpack, which contained her ID card and her passbook with more than a thousand yuan in it.

But she didn't know that when Zhang Ke left, he also took her bag. Jiang Lian groped in the dark for a long time but found nothing.

She sat on the ground paralyzed, and simply gave up on those things. The most urgent thing was to run away first.

She stuck her head against the door and listened to the sounds outside. After making sure that no one was outside, Jiang Lian quietly opened the door, not daring to make any sound.

She half exposed her head and looked towards Zhang Ke's room next to her, but was suddenly met with a pair of bloodshot eyes.

The strange man, with a buzz cut, dark skin, a violent look on his face, and a long scar on his face, was squatting at the door of Zhang Ke's room, staring at her with his terrifying eyes.

Jiang Lian screamed in fear, her legs went limp and she fell to the ground, gasping for breath while holding her chest. She was already nervous, and after being frightened like this, she felt she couldn't breathe.

Zhang Ke heard the sound, opened the door and went out to check the situation, and saw his accomplice with a confused look on his face and Jiang Lian who had fallen to the ground with her face blue with fear.

Even the owner of the guesthouse came over after hearing the noise.

Zhang Ke looked at Jiang Lian with a frown on her face, not understanding why she was acting so strangely tonight.

"What's wrong with you?"

He looked down at her and had no intention of coming to help her. He probably didn't want to pretend anymore.

"I...wuwu..." Jiang Lian was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and tears flowed violently.

"I just need to go to the bathroom!"

She paused for a moment and was smart enough to come up with a better excuse.

Because there are public toilets here and there is no toilet in the house, her excuse is acceptable.

The boss lady came over and helped her up.

"I'll take you to the toilet!" She thought Jiang Lian was possessed by evil spirits late at night and was so frightened.

Jiang Lian looked at the proprietress as if she had seen a savior. She thought that if she asked the proprietress for help, maybe she could help her.

But Zhang Ke had become suspicious, so he didn't let the boss's wife get close to her.

"No need, I'll take her there, no need to bother you!" He walked over, pushed the proprietress away, and then held Jiang Lian's hand.

Jiang Lian closed her eyes in despair, looked at the proprietress with a pleading look, and shook her head at her.

Zhang Ke didn't notice that the proprietress's expression also changed, and she looked as if she was thinking about something.

"Okay, I'll be leaving first then!"

The proprietress walked away, looking back every three steps. She glanced at Jiang Lian several times, and Jiang Lian looked at her for help. Zhang Ke looked back at her, and she acted as if nothing had happened, avoiding his gaze.

Jiang Lian was completely watched this time. Zhang Ke had already noticed something was wrong, and after returning from the toilet, he had been guarding her in the room.

The man with the buzz cut just now was his accomplice. He was guarding the door. He was afraid that Jiang Lian would run away, so he bumped into Jiang Lian head-on.

After the boss lady returned, she became cautious. She saw that the girl was fair and tender, and it was obvious that she was not a local. Local women did not have such good skin and high altitude red. This girl was obviously from another place, and she was afraid that she was deceived to come here.

But she was also struggling, not knowing whether she should care about this trivial matter.
