Chapter 279: Chapter 203: Run Forward in a Moment, Donât Look Back_2 Chapter 279: Chapter 203: Run Forward in a Moment, Donât Look Back_2 âWhat are you talking about?â Wenyan didnât even think before she rejected Shen Jingchuanâs proposal, âNo! How could I possibly abandon you and run away first.â
âAre you stupid? Itâs not about you abandoning me, itâs about me telling you to run. We canât both be wiped out, right? One of us has to escape and call the police.â
âNo, donât talk like that. Iâm not afraid of those two making a coffin for me outside, because you are with me. But the idea of leaving you here alone while I run away, I canât accept that. We must stick together, otherwise, I wonât go anywhere!â
âYou really are stupid. Itâs better for one to live than for both to die, right!â
âNot better! I just want to ask you one question, if I say Iâll hold them off and let you run first, will you run or not?â
âAre you joking? With those thin arms and legs of yours, how could you possibly hold them off? This is something that only a big guy like me can do!â
âDonât change the subject, Iâm just asking if youâd run or not?! Just answer that one question for me!â
Shen Jingchuan sighed, âI wouldnât run, then I certainly couldnât leave you here alone. But you canât be stubborn about this, you have to listen to me. If you go out for help, I might be rescued soon too.â
âDonât,â Wenyan shook her head, âYou might think Iâm being irrational. But I donât have my phone on me, this is an abandoned factory, and most likely thereâs no one around for miles. You tell me to go out for help, who am I supposed to ask for help? By the time I run to where there are people, you would probably be long dead. I canât accept that outcome.â
As she spoke, Wenyan started to choke up.
When Shen Jingchuan heard her voice falter, he paused, âYou, youâre crying?â
âWhat, is that not allowed? Youâre here giving me your last words and I canât shed a few tears?â
At this point, Wenyan started to sob uncontrollably.
Shen Jingchuan wasnât afraid of death, but hearing Wenyan cry threw him into disarray; frustratingly, she was back-to-back with him, just a step away, yet he couldnât face her to offer comfort.
âAlright, alright, stop crying, will you? I take back what I just said, okay? None of that counts! Weâll stick together. In a bit, Iâll deal with the stutterer, and you go after the other one, alright?â
âThatâs more like it!â
The two had finally come to an agreement and temporarily stopped talking.
Just at that moment, they faintly heard someone shouting outside.
And by the sound of it, that person wasnât far from the abandoned factory building.
âWhoâs inside there?!! Speak up!â
At first, Wenyan wasnât sure when she heard the voice.
She immediately asked Shen Jingchuan, âDid you hear that, it sounds like someoneâs coming.â
Shen Jingchuan grunted, âHe seems to be banging on the door.â
Indeed.
The person outside was hammering on the rusty iron door of the old factory building.
âI see a light, where are you guys getting electricity from? Hurry up and open the door, if you donât open up Iâm going to call the police!â
As soon as that person finished speaking, Big Headâs voice followed closely.
âWho are you, disturbing the peace in the middle of the night like this?â
âIâm the watchman, on patrol. This factory building has been out of use for a long time, who are you with, whereâs the electricity coming from. Open the door, hurry up!â
Big Head then whispered to the Fur Coat Man for a moment, but they spoke so softly that Wenyan and Shen Jingchuan couldnât hear clearly.
However, they soon heard the sound of the two men hustling to pack up.
Then Big Head spoke up.
âComing, coming, Iâll open the door now, donât get impatient.â
Following that, the voice of the person who had been outside became clearer, obviously he had entered.
âWhatâs going on here, how did you get in, didnât you know this is private property?â
Big Head immediately responded with a cheeky laugh, âWeâre homeless, we thought this place was abandoned, so we figured weâd just spend the night. As for the electricity, we donât know, just flipped a switch and it worked, heh heh, if itâs free, why not use it?â
âJust flipped a switch and it worked, I think youâre stealing electricity. By the way, I saw sparks from the crack in the door just now, what was that about? Are you trying to set this place on fire or what?â
âNo, no, that was us setting off fireworks, we found them on the street, weâve never set them off before, wanted to see what itâs like.â
âReally? What kind of fireworks make a sizzling noise?â
âItâs over now! The sizzling noise was me making it up, donât believe me listen. I just like to make sizzling noises while setting off fireworks. Heh heh heh, donât worry, as soon as itâs light out, weâll leave, we wonât cause you any trouble.â
