People reacted differently in the face of great external pressure.
Some people wailed and begged for mercy, some fought with their lives on the line, and some didn't even bat an eyelid in the face of great danger. Now, Bai Qing felt like a prey trapped in a spider's web. She knew that she needed to escape immediately. However, once she started to struggle, she would inevitably touch the spider silk under her, alerting the hunter on the other end of the spider silk.
And the most critical problem was that she didn't know who to trust. Who else could she trust?
The waiter at the ramen shop? Or the driver in the taxi seat?
Whose side were they on? Were they strong enough to save her?
Bai Qing looked at Zhang Heng, who was next to her.
The latter smiled at her. After leaving the ramen shop, the two returned to their previous inseparable mode. This time, Zhang Heng did not let Bai Qing leave his sight.
"Don't worry. We'll be there soon."
"Okay."
Bai Qing forced a smile and responded. She could feel that the hunter was crawling along the spider silk, which made her more and more uneasy. Bai Qing did not know how long her disguise could last.
The taxi driver was complaining about the city's traffic and rising housing prices, but his voice sounded so distant to Bai Qing's ears, like bubbles popping up from underwater. She knew that she should act more intimate with Zhang Heng at this time, trying to lower his vigilance as much as possible.
However, she really couldn't do such a thing. Her nerves were almost at their limit. Just looking at him for a short time would make her feel terrified.
Bai Qing tilted her head slightly and looked out of the window.
Only looking at the endless stream of cars and crowds could calm her down a little.
Due to several red lights on the way, the taxi arrived at its destination a little later than expected.
The driver stopped by the roadside, and Bai Qing noticed that Zhang Heng did not scan the QR code with his mobile phone. Instead, he handed her a twenty-yuan note and said, "Keep the change."
After that, he opened the door and took the lead to get out of the car.
Bai Qing followed him, and as soon as she got out of the car, she saw the internet cafe Zhang Heng mentioned.
Its appearance looked a little old, and the four words' Ronghua Internet Cafe 'on the billboard outside were half-missing. A group of suspicious-looking boys and girls were squatting on the cement steps at the entrance.
He should be about the same age as Bai Qing, but he was not in school. The boy was still smoking, and his eyes lit up when he saw Bai Qing.
One of them raised his head and said, "What are you playing for? Big brother will carry you."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a figure blocked his view and warned him, "She's my girlfriend."
Zhang Heng said as he held Bai Qing's hand again. The teenager threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and stood up. Just as he was about to say something, a voice came from the internet cafe. "Don't cause trouble, Xiao Fei! Otherwise, you and your people can forget about playing games here for free. "
The young man named Xiao Fei squatted down again when he heard this.
Zhang Heng then brought Bai Qing to the internet cafe. The space on the first floor wasn't large, and there were only thirty computers in total. Since it was still morning, there were only seven or eight players inside.
The boss, who was also Zhang Heng's friend, was a fat man who weighed more than 100 pounds. He sat in front of the cashier counter and also acted as a cashier. When he saw Zhang Heng and Bai Qing walking in, he nodded to them. "The private room is ready for you. VIP number 3."
"Thank you." Zhang Heng nodded and was about to go upstairs when he suddenly heard Bai Qing say, "When I came in just now, I saw a shop selling bayberries on the roadside. I want to eat bayberries. Can I?"
Zhang Heng and the fat boss looked at each other, and the latter said, "I have watermelons and bananas here."
"It's okay. I will go out and buy them," Zhang Heng said. Zhang Heng said. Since they had arrived at the internet cafe, he felt that there was no way Bai Qing could run away. He relaxed a lot, and he was no longer as close to her as before. "You go upstairs first. I will come to you later," he said to Bai Qing.
"Okay," Bai Qing said.
"Just treat this place as your own home. Be casual," the fat boss added.
Zhang Heng acted like a gentle boyfriend, watching Bai Qing walk to the second floor before leaving the internet cafe.
Bai Qing stood in the corridor on the second floor, and while no one was around, she quickly looked around. Unfortunately, there was no way for her to escape. She also saw the surveillance camera on the other side of the corridor. Not daring to stay any longer, she lowered her head and walked into the VIP room.
Unlike the dirty corridor outside, the private room was well-furnished. There were two computers and a small bed for people to sleep on. However, there were some suspicious stains on the bed sheet.
Bai Qing looked around, and in the end, she could only pick up the glass ashtray on the computer table and hold it tightly in her hand. After that, she stood by the door, pressed her body against the wall, and waited for Zhang Heng to finish buying the bayberries.
It seemed like a long time to her.
And to be honest, she did not know how she could escape from the internet cafe even if she could knock Zhang Heng out. The fat boss below was obviously one of those people. Maybe she could try to ask the group of bad guys outside the door for help? However, she did not know what she could do to convince those people.
Time ticked by.
Finally, footsteps came from the corridor outside the door again, and each footstep was like stepping on Bai Qing's heart.
At this point, she could only close her eyes and raise the ashtray in her hand.
The person outside the door knocked on the door twice.
Seeing that there was no response from inside the room, he waited for a while before reaching out and pushing the door open.
Bai Qing, who was waiting on the other side, gritted her teeth and smashed the ashtray in her hand. However, her hand was only about a fist's length away from the door before someone grabbed it.
After that, the person stepped into the room and closed the door behind him.
The difference in strength between the two was too great. No matter how hard Bai Qing struggled, she could not escape from the other party's control. Just when she wanted to open her mouth to scream, Zhang Heng covered it with his hand.
"It's me."
Bai Qing opened her eyes and looked at the face that terrified her. Her body trembled even more.
"Ask me that question," Zhang Heng said helplessly.
After confirming that Bai Qing nodded, Zhang Heng slowly let go of her hand.
"You … do you like me?" Bai Qing almost trembled when she said this, her teeth chattering.
"Sorry, I come from another world," Zhang Heng replied and put down his hand after that.
However, Bai Qing was probably scared. Although she did not use the ashtray to crack open Zhang Heng's mouth again, her eyes were full of distrust.
Zhang Heng pointed to the pocket on Bai Qing's shirt that she would never use. She then reached into it and took out a tiny tracker the size of a coin.
