The Warm Breeze Is Not As Warm As You Chapter 198

Her restrained palms were covered in cold sweat . After confirming that the noise outside had faded into the distance, Ji Nuan carefully twisted the folded knife in her hands .

The truth proved that the five hundred million yuan she had spent was not completely in vain . The man who restrained her had tied her arms well and had indeed kept his word .

She forcefully twisted her wrist, gradually loosening the rope so that there was some s.p.a.ce for her hands to move . She then carefully opened the knife . She recalled the instructions she had received and sawed the sharp knife against the rope between her index and middle finger .

Her restrained hands made it difficult to move . She spent a lot of time and strength on these few motions . As her body was covered in a layer of sweat, she could not gather much strength and could only gradually cut the rope .

After more than two minutes, the rope finally broke . She did not dare to relax, carefully undoing the ropes . When it was finally undone, and her hands were free, she quickly tore the tape off of her lips .

Right now, her lips were most likely red from tearing off the tape . She resisted the pain, held in a breath, and bent down to cut the ropes binding her legs .

Finally, she regained her freedom . She then carefully stood up . Her legs were already numb from being restrained . She stumbled to the door with light and slow steps, pressing her ear against the door to listen for any movements outside .

It seemed like these people were certain she would not be able to escape and did not arrange for anyone to keep watch .

Earlier, when she was brought in, she noticed that the path was extremely narrow and dark . They had pa.s.sed through a corridor at the end to climb down the staircase . They had then approached a door concealed by the audio equipment in the corner .

Ji Nuan attempted to push the door and discovered that it was locked; no wonder there was no one guarding the room .

She rushed to pluck a thin hair pin out from her hair . This was the first time she was grateful for those difficult, dangerous situations she had been placed in her previous life . Those experiences taught her a lot . At the very least, she would be able to open a simple door like this with a bit of time .

Ji Nuan directed the pin toward the keyhole and pushed the thinner end of the pin in with force . She did not dare to make too much noise and could only make several careful attempts in the keyhole .

This underground room only had a simple wooden door; the lock was also a simple single lock .

Time gradually pa.s.sed by . Ji Nuan began to feel more and more fl.u.s.tered . Every time she heard the sound of footsteps pa.s.sing by, she would retrieve the pin to hide behind the door in a wary stance . This happened several times . Finally, the pin found the right position in the keyhole, which released a soft sound when the door was unlocked . She softly released a breath and placed the pin back in her hair .

The moment the door was opened, the ear-splitting rumbling noises of the music the bar was playing entered her ears .

Ji Nuan poked her head out, surveying her surroundings before carefully closing the door . She pressed herself against the wall and kept her head low, trying her best to avoid being captured by the surveillance cameras in the corners . She finally approached the staircase when she suddenly saw a silhouette approaching her . She was startled and swerved around to see that there was a door by the side without any locks . She quickly entered the room, pressing her back against the door . Her heart skipped a beat as she carefully listened to the noise outside .

The room she was in was not lit . However, when she first opened the door, she saw that it was almost identical to the room she had been in . It seemed like every room in this corridor was the same .

She was considering how to escape . This bar was filled with people, and there was no way to recognize who were the customers and the bar employees . How was she going to avoid them?

The sound of footsteps suddenly approached the door . After listening to the sounds, Ji Nuan's body was covered in gooseb.u.mps .

Those footsteps appeared to be headed in the direction of the room she was in . There was a moment of silence, causing her heart to be fl.u.s.tered .

As expected, after that suspicious silence came an angry, suppressed voice . “She shouldn't have ran too far . Go and look for her right now . She actually had something sharp to cut the ropes with? Which b.a.s.t.a.r.d tied her up? f.u.c.k! Quickly go look!”

What followed was the sound of flurried footsteps gradually increasing . At the same time, doors were opened one by one .

Ji Nuan knitted her brows and carefully hid behind a black shelf . She knelt down and held in her breath .

“Check every single room!” Those footsteps approached . Abruptly, someone slammed the room door opened and turned the lights on . As though he had done so the whole way, he only quickly scanned through the room before turning the lights off and slamming the door close once more . He then left to check another room .

Perhaps they did not expect that Ji Nuan would hide in a place close to where she was locked up . The large and burly men were also hurried when they were looking and did not notice Ji Nuan hiding under the desk .

Ji Nuan released a breath and climbed out from under the table . She carefully listened to the noise outside and approached the door, pressing her ear against it .

She did not know what time it was . She heard the sound of footsteps fade away; the men seemed to have left to search and did not continue staying in the corridor . She waited for a long moment inside the room before carefully pus.h.i.+ng the door open . She then slowly approached the staircase .

This bar was filled mainly with those men; how was she going to escape?

After climbing up the stairs, she saw the neon lights in the bar . Ji Nuan bent her waist and carefully pushed open the door behind the audio equipment and glanced outside . There were all sorts of people in the crowd .

She lowered her head, using her hair to cover her face . She then pressed against the corner and moved along the door . When a waiter approached, she hurriedly knelt down and hid behind a couch .

That waiter held a tray of alcohol and was currently speaking to another waiter by the side . The bright neon lights made it difficult to have a clear view of the surroundings, so the waiter did not notice Ji Nuan .

Ji Nuan turned, maintaining a kneeling position and ran toward the back of another sofa . The lights in the bar kept flas.h.i.+ng and flickering . She took the opportunity when the lights turned dark to leap over and did not catch anyone's attention .

Finally, she moved along the back of the couches and gradually approached a more isolated area . She glanced outside and planned to run out with all her might .

After all, this was a bar . There weren't any morally upright people here, nor would there be anyone interested in helping her . Ji Nuan rubbed her aching and numb feet . When the lights abruptly turned dark, her footsteps became hurried . When she saw the entrance nearing, she charged out of the door .
