Nothingness came from the other side of the door for a moment before the door shook violently following a loud bang.
Then, the person outside raised their voice. "Step back. I'll break the lock and save you."
Only then did An Xia realize her rescuer was a woman with a soft tone, probably a gentle and kind person.
"Okay." An Xia responded and moved aside, leaning against the wall.
Soon after, the door was forced open, and An Xia was beyond delighted. However, she was stumped when she saw the somewhat familiar face.
"It's you!"
Standing in front of her, holding a brick in her hand, was Su Yige, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Having just smashed the lock, Su Yige's forehead was still covered in fine sweat. Her skin was fair and supple, and her long hair cascaded down her shoulders. She still had that pure, untainted appearance, like a white lotus emerging from the mud.
The description wasn't derogatory.
Mixed emotions overcame An Xia right then, for she used to call Su Yige a f*cking b*tch, never imagining that she would cross paths with the latter one day.
Su Yige was also shocked; her eyes slightly widened as she called out, "An Xia?"
An Xia nodded in affirmation. She knew some of what Su Yige had experienced, and Su Ziyue said Su Yige had changed for the better.
Then again, she couldn't afford to be picky under such circumstances. So, she anxiously said, "We can talk later, but now, help me untie the ropes."
"Alright." Su Yige didn't hesitate and started untying An Xia's ropes.
The ropes were tied tightly, so Su Yige had to exert some effort to untie them.
The two ran down the stairs.
It was an old-style residential building without an elevator.
While running, An Xia asked Su Yige, "Can I use your phone?"
Her phone had been taken away by the two kidnappers long ago, and she had no idea where it was.
With that, Su Yige handed her phone to An Xia and said, "I already called the police before I came."
"Thank you," said An Xia after taking the phone, then dialed a number she knew by heart. But surprisingly, nobody answered.
She tried calling twice, but neither call got through, and she was getting desperate.
Among the numbers she could remember, besides Bai Jingshu and her family, was only Su Ziyue's.
She had no idea when the police would arrive. Although Su Yige reported the incident, the process would take time, and they couldn't be sure either when the kidnappers would return. So she had to contact others in the meantime.
Her call to Su Ziyue was connected in two shakes, but it sounded a little noisy on the other end of the line.
"Hello, who is this?"
"It's me, An Xia."
"An Xia?!" Su Ziyue's tone couldn't hide her surprise. "An Xia, where are you? Are you okay now?"
Su Ziyue also knew that something had happened to me?
"I'm at…" Alas, An Xia didn't know where she was.
At that, Su Yige took the phone and gave a detailed address.
Meanwhile, An Xia looked at Su Yige suspiciously, wondering how she could be so familiar with the location.
As if having read her mind, Su Yige explained, "I'm planning to move back to the country lately, so I asked an agent to help me find a house. I didn't expect to be deceived by a fake agent and ended up in a run-down, old residential area."
"But why did you come knocking on the door?"
"I came to see the property yesterday and noticed the flowerpot. I thought it was just someone's prank. Plus, I was in a bad mood after being deceived, so I ignored it. But I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I came first thing in the morning," Su Yige spoke frankly, not like she was lying.
An Xia didn't pay much attention to those details. All in all, Su Yige saved her, and she owed her a debt of gratitude now.
Meanwhile, on the other end of the line, Su Ziyue made out Su Yige's voice and exclaimed with surprise, "Su Yige?"
"It's me." Su Yige smiled.
Just then, a man's voice came from downstairs, full of energy. "They're over there!"
"Run!" An Xia was the first to react, pulling Su Yige and quickly running upstairs.
Su Yige held onto the phone tightly, the call still connected. An Xia urgently said, "Ziyue, find a way to contact Bai Jingshu…" NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
There was no need for extra words; she needed to conserve her energy to escape.
Each floor of the building was occupied with no corridors or windows. Jumping out of a window wasn't an option.
Finally, they reached the rooftop on the top floor. Plus, it was overcast, and the cold wind blew in chilling gusts.
An Xia's heart felt like it was about to jump out of her chest. She tightly held Su Yige's hand, and both were extremely nervous.
The person who came up was Lao Wu, whose face was dark, seeming like he had 'played' all night.
He blocked the door upon reaching the rooftop, and he grinned triumphantly, looking relaxed, when he saw that An Xia and Su Yige had nowhere to escape.
"Oh, not running anymore? Go on, run. Why aren't you running anymore?"
Lao Wu's gaze shifted to Su Yige's face, and he immediately showed a lecherous expression.
Su Yige had a somewhat 'wh*re-ish' appearance, the type of innocent-looking girl that many men liked.
"My, my, what do we have here? A pretty girl has come to save you, eh?!" Lao Wu stared straight at Su Yige with lustful eyes.
At that, An Xia stepped forward and positioned herself between Lao Wu and Su Yige, trying to divert his attention. "Do you really think that by capturing me, you can lure Bai Yunan here? Even if you manage to lure him, can you really kill him?"
"Whether he comes or not, it's none of your business. Anyway, neither of you will leave here alive!" Lao Wu looked disdainfully at An Xia, fully aware of her intentions.
"We're all going to die sooner or later anyway, so why don't we all have some fun together?" He said with a vulgar gesture that was sickening.
An Xia remained composed and subtly squeezed Su Yige's hand before shifting her gaze to a nearby iron pipe.
Su Yige understood immediately and responded with a silent squeeze.
With that, An Xia moved to the side and walked straight toward Lao Wu, who furrowed his brows slightly, caught off guard by her sudden action.
An Xia walked up to him and slapped him across the face. Then, she scolded fiercely, "Pervert!"
She hit him hard, her voice crisp and loud. After the strike, her hand felt slightly numb.
Lao Wu was momentarily stunned, only then realizing that An Xia had run over to slap him.
"F*ck!" He cursed, immediately grabbing An Xia's hair and throwing her to the ground before growling through gnashed teeth, "You b*tch! How dare you hit me!"
The floor was cold and hard, but fortunately, An Xia was wearing thick clothing, so she was just sore from the fall and not injured.
"Why wouldn't I dare? I'm not afraid of you!" She endured the pain and kept talking to Lao Wu, trying to distract him.
Meanwhile, Su Yige took the opportunity to grab the iron pipe.
"F*ck, I'd have f*cked you if Kun hadn't been holding me back all this while. You talk tough, but I'll make you beg for mercy!" He continued using vulgar language while loosening his belt.
