Chapter 198: Underground Bar

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Her restrained palms were covered in cold sweat. After confirming that the noise outside had faded into the distance, Ji Nuan carefully twisted the folded knife in her hands.

The truth proved that the five hundred million yuan she had spent was not completely in vain. The man who restrained her had tied her arms well and had indeed kept his word.

She forcefully twisted her wrist, gradually loosening the rope so that there was some space for her hands to move. She then carefully opened the knife. She recalled the instructions she had received and sawed the sharp knife against the rope between her index and middle finger.

Her restrained hands made it difficult to move. She spent a lot of time and strength on these few motions. As her body was covered in a layer of sweat, she could not gather much strength and could only gradually cut the rope.

After more than two minutes, the rope finally broke. She did not dare to relax, carefully undoing the ropes. When it was finally undone, and her hands were free, she quickly tore the tape off of her lips.

Right now, her lips were most likely red from tearing off the tape. She resisted the pain, held in a breath, and bent down to cut the ropes binding her legs.

Finally, she regained her freedom. She then carefully stood up. Her legs were already numb from being restrained. She stumbled to the door with light and slow steps, pressing her ear against the door to listen for any movements outside.

It seemed like these people were certain she would not be able to escape and did not arrange for anyone to keep watch.

Earlier, when she was brought in, she noticed that the path was extremely narrow and dark. They had passed through a corridor at the end to climb down the staircase. They had then approached a door concealed by the audio equipment in the corner.

Ji Nuan attempted to push the door and discovered that it was locked; no wonder there was no one guarding the room.

She rushed to pluck a thin hair pin out from her hair. This was the first time she was grateful for those difficult, dangerous situations she had been placed in her previous life. Those experiences taught her a lot. At the very least, she would be able to open a simple door like this with a bit of time.

Ji Nuan directed the pin toward the keyhole and pushed the thinner end of the pin in with force. She did not dare to make too much noise and could only make several careful attempts in the keyhole.

This underground room only had a simple wooden door; the lock was also a simple single lock.

Time gradually passed by. Ji Nuan began to feel more and more flustered. Every time she heard the sound of footsteps passing by, she would retrieve the pin to hide behind the door in a wary stance. This happened several times. Finally, the pin found the right position in the keyhole, which released a soft sound when the door was unlocked. She softly released a breath and placed the pin back in her hair.

The moment the door was opened, the ear-splitting rumbling noises of the music the bar was playing entered her ears.

Ji Nuan poked her head out, surveying her surroundings before carefully closing the door. She pressed herself against the wall and kept her head low, trying her best to avoid being captured by the surveillance cameras in the corners. She finally approached the staircase when she suddenly saw a silhouette approaching her. She was startled and swerved around to see that there was a door by the side without any locks. She quickly entered the room, pressing her back against the door. Her heart skipped a beat as she carefully listened to the noise outside.
