My Secretary is a Little Sweet - Chapter 463
Chapter 463: A Narrow Miss (Part Two)
Zhao Anan was annoyed by what was happening. But she had to adapt to the situation since nothing else was going in her favour.
Once she succeeded in running away and found her cousin, she was definitely going to ask Jing Yichen to tear this person apart.
No, she would captivate this man, hang him and punch him until he lost all his senses and organs. Damn him!
At 3:30 a.m, Zhao Anan got up from the bed, quietly.
The light in the room had not been switched off ever since she moved in.
Zhao Anan understood that the man needed to see her at all points in time and hence kept the lights on.
The man was in the toilet at this hour. Zhao Anan tiptoed past the bathroom and dashed towards the door.
Since moving the bed would make a lot of noise any which ways, Zhao Anan didn’t spare any efforts or care about what couldn’t be helped. Instead, she exerted all her strength and moved off the bed with a large banging sound.
Then she opened the door anxiously and rushed out.
She had completed the first step of her escape plan.
But Zhao Anan didn’t relax, because the first step of her escape plan always turned out to be the easiest one whilst the second part often turned out to be the most difficult.
She rushed out of the door and dashed towards the staircases. She ran really fast alongside the staircases.
The elevator of the 39th floor was broken. It was not certain if it had been broken by the man. The main point was that it could not be used.
She rushed to the 38th floor by stairs and then took the elevator down to the lobby of the first floor.
Zhao Anan felt that anything with number 8 was related to hell!
Because every time she rushed to the 38th floor, there would always be some problems. For example, she couldn’t even reach the 37th floor, be it with staircases or with the elevator!
She knew that being such a tall building the elevator couldn’t have possibly been staying at the 38th floor waiting for Zhao Anan to go down. Sometimes, all four elevators could stay at one floor at the same time!
For example, today!
Someone had pressed the button of the 1st floor of all the elevators at 3 in the night!
…
There had been no progress in the past few days.
Zhao Anan was now missing for a month. Mu Qing and Tiger, as well as Tiger’s men, had started to search in the UK thoroughly.
Luckily, Jing Yichen had offered some help in the UK, and a group of Asians and Europeans were searching despite day and night and at any cost.
Today, they came to a building that was well equipped and well guarded.
Mu Qing had not gotten the time to even trim his hair in the past few days. He still shaved himself every day though so that he could feel slightly more energetic and not look like a hobo who might be driven out by the security guards of various buildings.
They managed to enter this building because they had paid a great deal of money for it.
Mu Qing and Tiger went on separate ways, as usual. As Tiger brought his men for the searching one floor after another from bottom to the top, Mu Qing and his men started the search from top to bottom.
In order to stop anyone from coming down the elevator, Tiger fixed all the elevators to the first floor, so that the elevator was unavailable for the next two hours. In this way, no one would be needed to guard the entrance. What was more, on every 5th floor there were men standing on guard. It would be impossible for anyone to run without crossing them.
Soon they finished the searching of the 40th floor, but failed to find that silhouette in the deepest corner who resided in the deepest corner of his mind. But Mu Qing was not irritated. He was now used to being disappointed.
As long as there was still hope, he would never give up.
He soon came to the 39th floor.
Mu Qing, together with his men, blew some smoke into each household, waited for two minutes and then pried the door open before walking in.
Nothing occurred after the search of the entire floor.
But Mu Qing felt that one apartment seemed a bit suspicious.
The place had all the lights on and the water in the bathroom was still running. But no one seemed to be at home.
This apartment had one bed in the bedroom and another in the living room. One more was found at the entrance. This arrangement made Mu Qing suspicious.
But it could turn out to be nothing.
After looking for Zhao Anan for so long, Mu Qing had already understood that there were many kidnappings and murders which took place here all the time. He had run into many such cases already.
Also, he found that many people had weird habits. It was quite normal that someone would have three beds in one home in different places.
But it still needed to be checked carefully.
Mu Qing took out his camera, snapped pictures of the place for later use.
…
Zhao Anan felt that nothing was working for her, today!
When all four elevators stopped on the first floor at the same time, she couldn’t make the elevators come up no matter how hard she pressed the buttons.
This was ridiculous!
It was a tall building. Without elevators, those people who lived on the 39th or 40th floor would need to have wings to come down.
Maybe the staircase?
Ridiculous! It was a leg-breaking scenario!
That four elevators fell out of function at the same time was not normal. Something weird must have happened!
Without hesitation, Zhao Anan rushed downstairs by the stairs.
She wanted to give it a try on the 37th floor. What if only the elevators of the 38th floor was broken?
She got completely startled when she reached the 37th floor, because that man was standing at the elevator’s door, waiting for her.
What bad luck! How did he manage to catch up with her so fast?
There were two staircases in this building and that was an annoying point, otherwise she would not have been caught.
Zhao Anan took a step backwards subconsciously, turned around and ran.
But it was too late. The man was faster than her and caught up with her within a second.
Zhao Anan struggled hard. She punched and kicked and even bit all over the man’s arms. She could even feel his blood in her mouth.
But the man didn’t flinch even once.
He felt pain, of course, and got extremely furious. But the man who had ordered her kidnapping hadn’t allowed him to mistreat Zhao Anan.
Therefore, he didn’t dare do anything over the top.
The man gathered his five fingers to form a sharp shape, and struck hard upon Zhao Anan’s neck, cutting off her scream that was about to burst out.
Zhao Anan fell into darkness.
A second before Zhao Anan passed out, she cursed inside her heart – this evil pervert, what a hard strike! She was definitely going to get a big bruise behind her neck.
He picked Zhao Anan and climbed up to the 39th floor.
