Chapter 135 Escape from the old house!
I don’t know what Mu Chaoran is doing now. I wonder if he is also suffering from insomnia and tossing and turning like her at this moment.
A plan was taking shape in Lin Xige's mind.
She doesn't want to be a lamb to be slaughtered, she wants...
Get out of here!
I checked the time. It was already past midnight. The old house had become quiet, with only patrolling security guards passing by downstairs from time to time.
Lin Xige got up from the bed, walked to the door, and knocked with her fingers.
Soon, a response came from outside the door: "Miss Lin, what do you want?"
"I'm hungry and want to have a midnight snack."
"Okay, please wait a moment, what would you like to eat?"
"All is fine." Lin Xige said, "As soon as possible."
"Yes."
Lin Xige turned around, walked to the sofa, sat down, and waited patiently.
After about twenty minutes, the door lock clicked.
The door opened and the servant came in with a bowl of steaming noodles.
There were two bodyguards standing at the door. They took a quick look inside, and after making sure that Lin Xige was there, they closed the door again.
"Ms. Lin, we don't have much food at night, and I'm afraid you'll be hungry, so I made a bowl of noodles," the servant said politely, "Please try it first to see if it suits your appetite."
"Thank you."
The servant placed the noodles on the table in front of Lin Xige, arranged the chopsticks, and stepped aside.
Lin Xige picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat.
But perhaps because his hands were shaking or because the hot noodles burned him, the chopsticks in Lin Xige's hand suddenly fell to the ground.
"Oh," the servant exclaimed, and immediately bent down to pick it up, "Miss Lin, it's okay, I'll go and change a pair for you right away."
Lin Xige sat motionless, looking down at the servant.
When she was picking up the chopsticks, the servant was at her feet, with her entire back exposed to her.
Especially the back of the neck.
Lin Xige moved very quickly. Without any hesitation, she raised her hand and chopped at the back of the servant's neck.
At the same time, she grabbed the towel she had just used to wipe her hands with her other hand and covered the servant's mouth and nose with it.
After the servant struggled silently for a few times, he fell down limply.
like a statue.
The whole process happened very quickly, and Lin Xige was decisive and efficient without any delay.
Because she knew that this was her last and only chance.
If she failed and alerted the bodyguards outside, she would not be able to escape.
Even though it was only a few seconds, it was a scene that Lin Xige had imagined many times in his mind.
Must succeed, no failure allowed!
Fortunately, with God's blessing, everything has been going very smoothly so far.
Lin Xige was frighteningly calm.
She didn't even know she could have such a calm side.
She glanced quickly at the door, but there was no movement.
Then, she began to strip the servant of her clothes.
In less than half a minute, Lin Xige finished changing her clothes.
She put on maid's clothes and styled her hair like a maid.
Then, Lin Xige carried the servant to the bed, covered him with a quilt, hiding most of his face and leaving only half of his head exposed.
While doing these things, Lin Xige was not at all flustered.
Seems very normal.
She thought her hands would shake, but they didn't.
After doing all this, Lin Xige carefully checked her whole body in front of the mirror to see if there was anything wrong.
After confirming that everything was correct, she picked up the noodles and poured them into the trash can, placed the empty bowl on the tray, and walked towards the door.
So far, she's only halfway there.
Don't be impatient, calm down, calm down...
The door opened.
Lin Xige walked out of the room.
She kept her head down so that no one could see her face.
The bodyguard asked casually, "Have you finished eating?"
"...Yes." She responded, not daring to say more, and continued walking forward slowly.
The bodyguard turned around and looked inside again.
Seeing the person lying on the bed, with only his hair and forehead exposed, he had already fallen asleep. The bodyguard withdrew his gaze, and without thinking too much, he quickly locked the door.
While locking the door, the bodyguard whispered to his teammates: "He went to bed right after eating. He's like raising pigs."
"Shh, keep your voice down."
"What's wrong with complaining? You stand here like a log every day, you have to have some fun."
"Hahaha, you don't care how much she eats or how long she sleeps, as long as she stays in there obediently."
Lin Xige vaguely heard the teasing of the two bodyguards, so she calmed herself down and did not look back. She maintained a steady pace, went downstairs and returned to the kitchen.
She knew that there were many surveillance cameras in the old house, and she couldn't show any panic, otherwise the people in the monitoring room would notice her abnormal behavior and question her.
That's bad.
Lin Xige put the dishes back into the kitchen, washed them, and tidied them up, like a real working servant.
After doing this, she left.
She walked out of the old house, her heart pounding, looking at the door in the distance, feeling a little excited and nervous.
I'll be able to leave here soon and be free soon!
My palms are sweaty.
Lin Xige swallowed. In the silent and empty night, her footsteps were particularly clear.
She met the patrolling security guards head-on and subconsciously wanted to run.
But she still restrained herself and continued walking on her way in an orderly manner.
The security guard shone his flashlight over her and asked, "What are you doing here so late at night?"
"I'm on duty in the kitchen." She deliberately made her voice rough and changed her voice, "Ms. Lin on the second floor wanted to have a midnight snack, so I just cooked noodles for her."
The security guard looked at her a few more times, waved his hand, and signaled that she could go.
She nodded, neither hurried nor slow.
Finally, Lin Xige finally reached the back door entrance.
She left without looking back, her figure blending into the night.
The moment she walked out of the Mu family's old house, she felt a sense of unreality...
I can't believe I escaped like this!
It went much more smoothly than expected!
As she walked, Lin Xige started to run, running faster and faster, at the fastest speed she had ever run in her life, panting heavily.
She had no destination, she only knew that she had to get away from here!
The farther the better!
The sky gradually began to brighten.
A new day has begun.
In the Mu family's old house, everyone was doing their job and busy with the work at hand as usual.
After Mr. Mu got up, the first thing he did was to see Lin Xige.
"Today is the most critical day, and we can't make any mistakes." Grandpa Mu said calmly, "I have to go take a look and make sure she is in my hands, then I can feel relieved."
The butler accompanied him: "Okay, old man."
In fact, no one thought anything could happen.
Lin Xige stayed in the room and couldn't even get close to the door. She was monitored by bodyguards 24 hours a day, and there were surveillance cameras everywhere in the corridor. She couldn't escape at all.
Besides, if she wasn't in the room, the bodyguard would have come to report.
Even if she had the ability to run out of the second floor, she would be caught on the first floor.
