Time: 8:01 PM. Four hours and twenty-nine minutes left. *Bai Li* The manufacturing company that Qi Qiang talked about at the other end of the road to Imperial High was a steel manufacturing plant. Zhu Yusheng stopped the car, and Zhang Xiulan said, "We are just a few yards away from the plant now." "I can see a guard outside the gates." I said, "Let's go." I heard Liao Huifang's voice, "Will he just let us in like that?" I shrugged. "Brute force is always an option. We got out, and Liao Huifang…

Time: 7:10 PM. Five hours and twenty minutes left. --- *Bai Li* "We need a plan to get into the school," Luo Zhiqiang said. After Zhang Chao died, I asked Qi Qiang to withhold and suppress his death's news as best as he could. Until we finished Zhang Ning, I didn't want any chaos in the city that she could take advantage of. I heard Xin Zhen speak, "What does the place look like from the satellite?" "Bro, There is one building in the northeast, but with what I can see, it is also abandoned.…

--- *Xin Lei* We were walking through the secret door that Rodey showed us when Cocoa started growling. I narrowed my eyes. Chu Jie nervously tried to calm Cocoa down. But Cocoa instead bit his pants and began to pull him away. "Grrr...Arf!" "Cocoa! We cannot stop here! Let's go." "Grrr…." He was even fiercer in pulling him now. Rodey seemed to say something when he got quiet too. I was keeping an eye on my back, and I was sure that nobody was following us. Then was it… Suddenly, a light…

Time: 6:00 PM. Six hours and thirty minutes left. --- *Bai Li* And once again, Zhang Chao was screaming like a mad man. "What do you mean?" I sensed him resist beside him and heard the sound of him trying to break the door. I smiled. "It's no use. No matter how much you scream or yell, nobody is going to hear it." Then I heard the sound is another engine revving up from a distance in front of us. Zhang Chao's death ticket had arrived. I heard Zhang Xiulan say, "Can you hear that, 'Dad'?" The…

--- *** On the fourth floor, Rodey had emptied the corridor that led to the room where Ying Yue and the others were kept. He also disabled all the cameras. He already knocked out the man monitoring the footage not to raise the alarm for the broken footage. Inside the room, Cocoa was continuously hovering around the door and scratching it and quietly growling at the same time. "What is Cocoa doing exactly?" Long Hu asked for the hundredth time already. "I don't know...Hey Cocoa, come…

Time: 5:40 PM. Six hours and fifty minutes remaining. The situation came to a standstill. Zhang Chao realized it was fruitless to keep any pretense in front of her. But, he wasn't in any situation to provoke her either. "Xiulan, please understand...Ning was fragile at that age. She would have gone worse if we had forced treatment on her. Didn't she already hate Qiuyue for that?" Zhang Xiulan took out her gun, which almost made him jump in a scare. "So, you handed your sane daughter over to them? For…

Time: 5:07 PM. --- *Xin Lei* Come on, Xin Lei...you can do this… For the last hour, I was trying to get my right wrist out of the ropes, but contrary to my expectations, it proved to be a little tricky. Not that it was impossible, but it took more time than usual and oof the guards! They were coming in every ten-fifteen minutes to check on me. But now, I could finally see the light. I felt my wrist was half-dead with all that shaking and moving, but the ropes were starting to loosen up. Yes! Ah,…

Time: 4:33 PM. Seven hours and fifty-three minutes left. --- *** Zhang Chao quickly opened the door to his car and sat inside. He had just got off a call with his daughter, Zhang Ning, who was very upset and had made a mess of the house. It happened after she returned from the base and started throwing and smashing things around. The maids got terrified of her behavior, and even if they wanted to stop her, they didn't dare to. One of them quickly informed the guard, and he, in turn, called Zhang Chao,…

Time: 3:20 PM. Nine hours and ten minutes left. --- *Xin Lei* I had to get out of here. But the question was, how? I looked around every nook and corner of the room. Now that the darkness was finally sinking in my sight, I was able to see the room through it. I was a little taken aback with the structure. A classroom? Yes, it was definitely a classroom. At first, I thought there was only my chair in which I was tied to, but now that I look at it, it is one of the chairs that looks identical to…

Time: 2:30 PM. Nine hours left. I said, "You returned last year." I heard Zhang Xiulan's voice. "Not exactly last year. Six months back. When we returned, Yusheng introduced me to the jailor, Uncle Wu." "That man we met when Xin Lei and I sneaked in the police headquarters." "Yup. I met him through Yusheng, and Uncle Wu arranged to give me a job as a barmaid." "And as a waitress in the tea shop too." She chuckled. "Yes. He assured they were safe jobs for me, and Zhang Chao wouldn't get any whiff…
