However, the West suburbs are far from the city center, flat, with no shrubs, a place not yet fully developed. Even if she could escape, sheād be easily spotted on this vast plain. Unless she could hijack the car.
But the problem is, what about Qu Leqi?
Should she leave her behind, or take her along?
The latter is somewhat difficult because she is definitely not the type to cooperate willingly.
From her stupidity in dragging herself into this mess, you know not to expect her intelligence to kick in.
After being locked up in a dimly lit room, their blindfolds were finally removed.
Then the burly men left, locking Heather and Qu Leqi alone in the pitch-black room.
"Uh..." Qu Leqi looked around, making sounds of fear, "Itās so dark here... Arenāt you scared?"
"..."
Missy, is now the time to be afraid of the dark?
Heather casually observed the room, then leaned against the wall in boredom, doing nothing.
Nothing to see, thereās only a skylight high above the ground, no tools, impossible to reach bare-handed, the layout similar to the darkroom Luo Xuan prepared for her.
Nothing to fear, sheās long adapted to the darkness, itās much better than the oppressive blue.
Seeing Heather seemingly admitting defeat, Qu Leqi panicked: "Hurry up and think of something!"
"Missy, what can I think of? Why didnāt you think of not dragging me into this earlier? Now look, Iām caught too, who will alert you now?"
"Youād report to the police for me?" Qu Leqi sounded disbelieving.
Back then, she wouldnāt let Heather go. Even if dying, she had to drag someone down with her!
She didnāt believe Heather would save her!
"Do you think Iām like you? A thankless ingrate? Iām not that kind of person, Heather. If I ever truly wanted you dead, Iād end you myself, I donāt fear blood."
Qu Leqi was startled, though she felt Heather was just trying to scare her, she was somewhat afraid, "Crazy..."
Heather shrugged indifferently, smiling.
After a long time, nobody cared about them, it was as if they were tossed here and forgotten.
Qu Leqi couldnāt hold back, moved closer and said, "Heather, have you watched drama series? Like in the shows, back to back. Iām tied loosely, you help untie me first, then Iāll help untie you!"
Thinking sheād proposed an excellent idea, yet Heather didnāt agree, refusing without a second thought, "No."
"Why??" She was shocked, "You donāt want to get out??"
"If I untie you, youād leave me behind, just run off alone, right? Why should I let you go? Keeping you here, Iāve got someone to take down with me, we die together, isnāt that great."
"Crazy! Who wants to die with you!" Qu Leqi was angry, but lowered her voice, "Are you nuts? If I leave you alone, where could I run? Iād randomly bump into one of them and Iād be caught! I canāt fight them! Of course, I have to take you along!"
"Oh, you actually have some self-awareness," Heather chuckled, "I thought youād use your charms once you met them."
"Are you going to untie or not?" She turned around, her voice a bit eager.
