There might be someone standing outside the door. Chen Ge did not think it was safe to open the door like that, but he did not have a better solution.
This was an opportunity, one that he could not miss.
"Ying Chen did not go far. This door might be a trap. Someone is waiting for me to open the door and jump in."
The cat's meow could warn Ying Chen, but it could not do anything to Ying Chen's helper. Chen Ge knew that very well. Earlier, he had been pushed down the stairs by the child. Throughout the whole process, the child did not make a sound. It was only at the end that he revealed his fangs.
"Now, there are two possibilities. The first possibility is that Ying Chen and his helper are guarding Mr. Wood and Miss Red's home respectively. The second possibility is that Ying Chen is hiding somewhere in the staircase, and his helper has not left. They are standing at the door. Ying Chen purposely said those words for me to hear."
Chen Ge thought about these two possibilities again and again. For a normal person, the best choice was to stay at Miss Dress's home. Even though the murderer had the key to this room, as long as he blocked the door, there should not be too much of a problem.
But doing that meant that he had completely lost the initiative, and Ying Chen could make full use of this time to do other things.
Chen Ge's stamina was limited. It was already difficult enough for him to hold on for so long. If this continued, the chance of an accident happening would only increase.
The ones that worried him the most were Mr. Wood and Miss Red. After all, Ying Chen was a b * stard, and he was capable of doing anything.
If something happened to one of the three, it would be very difficult for Ying Tong to open his eyes again.
"Perhaps I can make use of the trap that Ying Chen has set for me and use this trap to change my current passive situation." An idea appeared in his mind, but before this idea could be implemented, he had to make sure that there was someone outside his door.
Chen Ge dragged the sofa backward. He purposely made a loud noise, but in reality, he only moved it several centimeters.
Holding the doorknob, Chen Ge slowly removed the mop that was holding the lock.
He slowly pressed down on the doorknob, and the lock was already open.
The surroundings were eerily quiet. There was no sound, and there appeared to be no one in the corridor outside.
"Am I overthinking this?" Chen Ge held his breath. He slowly pulled the door open. Just as he was about to open the door, a giant force suddenly slammed into the door!
"Someone's here!"
The door bumped into the sofa behind, and a cold hand reached in through the gap of the door. The withered fingers grabbed Chen Ge's wrist!
Chen Ge reacted instantly and tried to close the door with all his might.
The sofa was not completely moved away. At this moment, the door slammed into the sofa, cushioning the impact. This saved Chen Ge's life.
The door could not be pushed open completely. Chen Ge used both of his hands to close the door, but the other party grabbed onto his wrist. The other party's hand was stuck in the gap of the door, so the door could not be closed.
The gap in the security door was getting bigger and bigger. Chen Ge could not see what was happening in front of him. He was so anxious that he could not care less. He lowered his head and bit the hand that was grabbing his wrist!
When a person was under high stress, the force of their bite was shocking. A child's scream came from outside the door, and the man loosened his grip from the pain. Chen Ge immediately rammed into the front door and slammed it shut.
He picked up the mop that was propped against the door and placed it under the doorknob. Then he pushed the sofa back to the door.
Gasping for air, Chen Ge's back was already soaked in cold sweat. He used his body to push against the sofa, and at that moment, Miss Dress's phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
Chen Ge's finger tapped on different spots on the phone screen. Moments later, the call was picked up.
"Hello?"
"It's me. Ying Chen is outside my door."
Mr. Wood's voice came from the other end of the phone. His tone was dark, and his voice was very low.
"Lock the door and stay away from the door. You have to make sure that Ying Chen cannot hear our conversation." Chen Ge adjusted his breathing. Everything was within his expectations. Ying Chen knew that Ying Tong had accepted Ah Mu, so he would definitely go to find Mr. Wood and Miss Red.
"I am in the study, very far away from the living room door. He will not be able to hear us."
"Did Ying Chen say anything to you?"
"No, he has been standing at my door. If not for you reminding me earlier, I would not have known that there was an extra person outside my door." Mr. Wood's heart was still fluttering with fear.
"He probably wanted to wait for you to open the door and then rush in. That madman is capable of anything." Chen Ge kept retreating until he hid on the other side of the sofa. He lowered his voice to the lowest level to ensure that the person outside the door would not hear him. "I have a favor to ask of you."
"Go ahead."
Chen Ge took a deep breath. He wanted to make a bet with Ying Chen. "Ying Chen is guarding outside your door, and his helper is outside my room. I need you to call Miss Red now and have her take Ah Ying away from that room immediately. Try to find a way to hide Ah Ying inside the cleaning closet on the third floor without alerting anyone."
"Inside the cleaning closet? Have you lost your mind? "
"Listen, only after Ying Tong has accepted Ah Ying, Ah Tong, and Ah Mu will he have the chance to open his eyes. We have to allow Ying Tong to interact with these three children. If we all hide inside the room, Ying Tong and his helper only need to guard the two doors, and we will never win. "Chen Ge was very calm.
"That is madness."
"Ah Tong has claustrophobia, so the person hiding inside the cleaning closet can only be Ah Ying!" There was a trace of madness in Chen Ge's voice, but he did not realize it himself. "Ying Chen is guarding your door. Your room is on the second floor, and his helper is guarding my door. I am on the first floor. No matter how this building circulates, Miss Red will be far away from them. She will have enough time to do these things. "
"But what is the point of doing this?"
"Ying Chen has set up a trap for me. When he was setting up this trap, he revealed an opening. This is our only chance." Chen Ge's voice squeezed out through his teeth. Even though he could not see, through the trap that Ying Chen had set up for him, he had confirmed the location of Ying Chen and his helper.
Mr. Wood gave it some thought and seemed to understand what Chen Ge was trying to do. "Fine, I will call Miss Red now."
The phone hung up, and there was only the busy tone.
About ten minutes later, the phone in Chen Ge's palm vibrated again. "Hello?"
"Miss Red has already hidden Ah Ying inside the cleaning closet on the third floor. Thank God, nothing has happened." Mr. Wood's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Is Ying Chen still outside your room?"
"Yes, he knocked on the door earlier, but I ignored him."
"Very good. Next is the most crucial step." Chen Ge tried his best to calm himself down. "You should have the number of the cleaning lady, Auntie Wu, right? Have her try to get closer to me. When she arrives, I will bring Ying Tong out of the room to find you."
"Find me? But Ying Chen is just outside my door. "
"If Ying Chen's helper is held up, and he learns that Ying Tong and I have left the room, there is a high chance that he will come to find us." Chen Ge's voice was rather scary. "Miss Red lives on the sixth floor, and we are on the first floor. If we go down from here, we will be very close to her. Ying Chen might subconsciously think that we are going to Miss Red's home. Of course, that is not important. The important thing is that when Ying Chen goes after us, you have to bring Ah Ying away from the cleaning closet on the third floor and bring him back to your own home. "
Mr. Wood understood Chen Ge's plan. It was a desperate move.
If everything went smoothly, Chen Ge only needed to bring Ying Tong into Mr. Wood's home, and Ying Tong would be able to accept both Ah Ying and A-Tong at the same time.
Facing these three fears, Ying Tong would definitely be able to open his eyes again.
Chen Ge did not want to experience the feeling of being blind anymore. The world of darkness could drive a person crazy, especially in such a dangerous situation. If he was not careful, he would fall into the hands of a crazed demon.
After that, Chen Ge hung up the phone. He grabbed Ying Tong's hand. "Ying Tong, this is the first floor. Later, we will run down the stairs to the second floor where Mr. Wood lives. You have to remember the number of floors in between. Even if you are alone, you have to find Mr. Wood on your own. Do you understand?"
"Understood." Ying Tong understood the meaning behind Chen Ge's words. If they ran into a situation that could not be avoided, Chen Ge would go and distract Ying Chen's attention. Just like Miss Dress, he would use his life to buy time for Ying Tong.
Of course, Chen Ge was not a noble person. The only hope to break out of this predicament was Ying Tong. Chen Ge was saving himself by helping Ying Tong.
The room returned to silence. Chen Ge checked all the items that he had on him. His eyes could not see, so he could only use his hands to touch the comic. His fingertips were pulled by some kind of force, and his employees appeared to be calling his name.
The front door soon started to shake again. Chen Ge's helper wanted to use brute force to open the door. Chen Ge used all of his strength to push against the sofa. His stamina was draining. There was no employee behind this door that he could rely on. His stamina was draining fast, and the scariest thing was that he did not even have the chance to catch his breath.
After another half an hour, an unfamiliar middle-aged woman's voice suddenly rang out in the corridor.
"Ma Gui? What are you doing here instead of going home? You were the one who was sneaking behind me earlier, weren't you? Of all the children in this building, you are the most mischievous! "
The person who had come was the cleaner, Auntie Wu. The moment Chen Ge heard this voice, he grabbed Ying Tong's hand and ran to the front door. He silently pushed aside the sofa that blocked the door.
"I was not following you." A child's voice came from outside the door. From the voice alone, he sounded like a child about the same age as Ying Tong, but he was much stronger than an adult.
"Lying again. I have already seen you, and you still deny it?" Auntie Wu's footsteps stopped at the door. "Ma Gui, have you seen Ying Tong? Did the child play with you? "
There was a trace of anxiety in Auntie Wu's voice. Earlier, she had asked Ying Tong to hide inside the cleaning cupboard. Later, she might have gone back to take a look, but she discovered that Ying Tong had disappeared.
Chen Ge had predicted all of this, so he had asked Mr. Wood to contact Auntie Wu. He had asked Mr. Wood to tell Auntie Wu the truth and then ask for Auntie Wu's help.
"I did not."
"Really? Normally, you are the one who bullies Ying Tong the most. "
"You have all been tricked by Ying Tong! I did not bully him at all. If you do not believe me, you can go and ask Ying Chen! " The child tried his best to deny it. Inside the room, Chen Ge had a vague understanding of why the child was so strong in the world behind Ying Tong's door.
Ying Tong had been bullied by the child. For Ying Chen, the child was the second existence that was hard to resist.
Auntie Wu and the boy got into an argument. Chen Ge was still looking for an opening, but he suddenly heard an extremely weak meowing in his ears.
"Ying Chen has started to head this way!"
There was only one chance. Chen Ge did not want to miss it. He removed the mop that was blocking the door and carried Ying Tong on his back.
When the cats started to meow again, he yanked the front door open!
"Auntie Wu! The child wants to kill Ying Tong! Stop him! "
From the moment Chen Ge stepped through the door, he had memorized all the routes that he had taken. There was a map of the whole building in his mind. Even though his eyes were almost completely blind, he knew the rough route that he had to take.
When he shouted that, the meowing of the cats became more urgent. Chen Ge rushed down the stairs.
He could not see the road. Even though he remembered the height of the stairs, and the muscles in his legs were used to that height, he still tripped once on the way down the stairs.
His whole body was wracked with pain, but neither he nor Ying Tong made a sound. This kind of pain was nothing to them.
The cats' meowing echoed above his head. Chen Ge had just reached the halfway point between the seventh and sixth floors when Ying Tong had already entered the stairwell. He had come so fast that there was no hesitation.
Ying Chen's speed was faster than Chen Ge had expected. Other than that, Chen Ge had underestimated the difficulty of getting down the stairs with a blind person.
If this continued, they would be captured before they even reached the stairwell.
"Remember what I told you!"
Chen Ge rushed to the sixth floor and then put Ying Tong down. He took out the hammer from his backpack. He stood at the corner of the sixth floor corridor and the stairwell.
Ying Tong was a very clever boy. The fact that he was able to survive the torture that Ying Chen had inflicted on him proved many things.
When Chen Ge put him down, the boy immediately stuck close to the wall. Following the method that Chen Ge had taught him, he silently moved down the stairs.
Gripping the hammer tightly with both hands, Chen Ge gritted his teeth. The meowing of the cats was getting closer and closer to his ears. From a normal meowing, they turned into heart-wrenching screams. Ying Chen was getting closer and closer to him!
There was no sound of footsteps or breathing. Chen Ge's mind was filled with the pained meowing of the cats. When all the meowing reached its climax, he raised the hammer high in the air and slammed it down on the stairwell beside him with all his might.
"Bang!"
The hammer had obviously hit something. Something heavy fell to the ground.
"Did I hit it?"
Chen Ge did not go to investigate. He dragged the hammer and turned to run.
The cats' meowing paused for a moment before they followed closely behind him. At the same time, Chen Ge heard Ying Chen's voice.
"You do not appear to be a tenant of this building."
Ying Chen's voice was laced with chilliness and anger. This crazed murderer had been deeply provoked when he first met Chen Ge.
Hearing Ying Chen's voice behind him, Chen Ge ran even faster.
He was sweating in his heart. He hoped that Ying Tong would accept Ah Ying and Ah Tong before he was killed by Ying Chen.
