Chapter 812 Chen Bao extra (10)
When Zhou Mian came out, he walked very quietly.
She had roughly looked around the factory during the day, and then looked around it again when she was taken to eat, so finding her way around wasn't too difficult at the moment.
The real challenge lies in figuring out how to evade the constant patrols within the factory.
She had expected the place to be heavily guarded before she arrived, but after she narrowly escaped from the crowd time and time again, touching her wildly beating heart, she still felt that she had underestimated the danger here.
Patrols are conducted here in waves every night, almost without interruption.
Even so, she was determined to come out and walk around late at night. Touching the star necklace on her chest, she took a deep breath, huddled along the wall, and quietly peered through the windows of each empty room.
However, perhaps due to bad luck, when she came out of an empty house, she accidentally stepped on a pebble, twisted her ankle, and her body tilted to the side.
She gasped softly and instinctively leaned against the wall beside her.
Despite her efforts to keep her voice down, the noise still alerted a patrol that had just walked away not far away.
What was that sound?
"Let's go take a look."
Zhou Mian recognized the man as "Brother Biao," the one who had picked her up earlier that day, and a cold sweat broke out on her back.
Although she hadn't met many people here, this "Brother Biao" was definitely the most formidable one among them!
Her first instinct was to find a place to hide.
However, the doors to the rooms next door were all locked, and the surrounding area was open space, so there was simply no way to avoid or hide!
As the heavy footsteps of several men drew closer, a flashlight beam shone in their direction—
At the critical moment, a hand suddenly reached out from behind Zhou Mian and pulled her hard, dragging her into a room the instant the flashlight beam shone on her.
"Did you see what it was?"
"No one was there. It was probably a stray cat that ran over and stepped on a stone."
"Just in case, check all the dormitories nearby."
"yes!"
The sounds outside faded away, but Zhou Mian's spirits remained undiminished.
Even though the room was dark, she could clearly sense that the person pulling her was a man!
Without saying a word, she swung her elbow and attacked the man.
Murong Chen was clearly unaware that this girl actually knew two skills, and before he could react, his shoulder was struck hard.
But he reacted in just half a second, raising his hand to stop her fist that was attacking him again.
He then turned to the side, twisted his waist, raised his hand, blocked and pulled back, and with a forceful movement, Zhou Mian was pinned against the wall in a moment.
Zhou Mian struggled to break free, but he pressed her down even harder.
"Don't move, I'm here to help you."
Zhou Mian paused upon hearing this, then sneered, "Bullshit! There aren't any good people among you. Helping me? You're more likely trying to take advantage of me!"
Murong Chen was completely stunned upon hearing this.
After all, during the day in the car, this girl clearly acted like a naive and innocent girl, but now her words were sharp and her expression was clear. How could she be like a silly little girl who doesn't know the ways of the world?
This, in turn, further confirmed his suspicions.
He curled his lips into a smile, his eyes scrutinizing him: "You didn't come here because of debts. What is your purpose in coming here?"
In the darkness, Zhou Mian still couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but a sense of dread had already begun to creep into her heart.
She only said one sentence, so how did this man come to the conclusion that she had ulterior motives for coming here?
She was flustered inside, but didn't show it on her face. She scoffed and said, "What else could it be if not because of debt? Did you come here for a day trip?"
"It's hardly a day trip. After all, it's said that none of the girls who come here have ever managed to leave," Murong Chen said calmly.
"I heard?" Zhou Mian easily caught the key phrase: "You're not from here?"
Murong Chen: "..."
This girl is quite perceptive.
He secretly realized that he had said too much and should not let her take the initiative in the conversation.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "Since you're here because of debts, then explain yourself. Why aren't you in your room at night? What are you doing out here? Also, I remember your room has a combination lock that can't be opened from the inside, right? How did you get out?"
"That lock doesn't even deserve to be called a combination lock! It must have been designed by some idiot..." Zhou Mian realized something was wrong halfway through her sentence and quickly stopped talking: "I don't need to talk to you anymore, just let me go!"
"Let go? Why should I let go of you? Shouldn't I be handing you over to Brother Biao right now?" Murong Chen said with a wicked grin.
Zhou Mian's eyes widened immediately: "Didn't you just say you were helping me?!"
"Yes, but you don't believe me, do you?" Murong Chen's lips curled up slightly.
Zhou Mian: "You..."
"Knock knock knock".
Before he could finish speaking, a knock sounded at the door.
Murong Chen instantly covered her mouth and then shushed her.
"Who is it?" he asked, his voice carrying his rustic, rural accent.
The voice was so distinctive that Zhou Mian's eyes widened suddenly in the darkness.
Murong Chen didn't care about his exposure in front of her. After asking his question, he waited for a response from outside.
Soon, Brother Biao's voice came: "Me, open the door."
Murong Chen glanced around.
Apart from a few bunk beds, the dormitory was completely empty, with nowhere to hide.
He simply pushed Zhou Mian onto his bed, covered her with his blanket, and whispered, "Don't move around, and don't say anything no matter what I do later."
Zhou Mian knew the situation was tense, so she pursed her lips and remained silent.
However, the next moment, her hand unconsciously tightened its grip on the blanket.
Murong Chen turned on the light and then took off his khaki T-shirt.
In an instant, his strong, tanned skin was exposed to the air. He turned his head and glanced at Zhou Mian, seeing her staring at him with wide eyes, and felt a rare sense of embarrassment.
He coughed lightly, turned his head, and shuffled to the door in his slippers.
After taking a couple of steps, he remembered something and turned back: "Scratch me."
Zhou Mian: "What???"
"hurry up!"
Zhou Mian: "..."
Under the man's gaze, she inexplicably grabbed his back hard.
Instantly, several red scratches appeared on his body.
He quickly ruffled Zhou Mian's hair, covered her face, and then whispered, "Don't let him see your face later."
After saying that, he turned around and strode over to open the door.
The moment the door opened, his demeanor changed drastically, and he instantly transformed back into that rustic, unsophisticated man from the countryside who had come to work in the city.
"Brother Biao... what brings you here so late at night?" He looked sleepy.
When Wang Biao saw him shirtless, he was taken aback at first, but when his eyes fell on the scratches on his body and the ambiguous red marks on his shoulders, his eyes narrowed instantly.
