Chapter 621 - Mo Jingshen Saw That She Was Undressed Under the Blanket (1/2)

In the unconscious state, Ji Nuan vaguely registered the phone ringing once more. She attempted to reach her hands out but could only touch the sides of the phone. She then rested her hand down weakly and did not move it again.

She was extremely cold, drowsy, exhausted, and weak.

Finally, when knocking noises came from the door, she furrowed her brows in her sleep and flipped over to glance at the door. Although it was nearing daylight, it was still difficult to see clearly. She could see the wooden door moving slightly from the knocks. The person outside wasn’t especially loud, and she was likely the only person who could hear anything.

Ji Nuan wanted to speak. However, her throat was aching painfully. She was staring at the door when her vision suddenly darkened. With the gentle shake of the door, she closed her eyes once more.

——

He had knocked on the door for minutes, but there were no hints of movements inside. Shen Mu stood outside in worry and turned to Mo Jingshen, who was dressed in a black coat.

The reason Mo Jingshen believed Ji Nuan was staying in this room was because there was a heavy rain last night, and the muddy footprints led them directly here.

A pair of shoes that belonged to Ji Nuan had also been tossed outside the door. It was soaked and covered in mud. She had likely feared dirtying the ground when she entered.

Furthermore, the other rooms were dark, but only the lights in this one were turned on. It seemed like it had been kept on for the whole night. After knocking for so long, and taking Ji Nuan’s typical awareness into account, it was impossible that she hadn’t heard anything.

Ji Nuan’s phone was also inside. Whenever they made a call, her phone would ring. Although the ringtone was soft, the familiar melody made Mo Jingshen sure that Ji Nuan was inside.

“We’ve been knocking for so long. CEO Mo, could Miss Ji have left without her phone…” Shen Mu saw that Mo Jingshen’s expression was cold and heavy, and carefully considered before speaking up.

“No. In such a place, she won’t leave her phone too far away from her.” The man’s voice was composed after the evening storm.

“But this door…”

“Break the lock.” Mo Jingshen calmly glanced at the locked, wooden door.

Shen Mu hesitated for a moment, before turning around to look for something to break the lock with.

There was no way they could hire a locksmith here. It would take up too much time to call the police, and in a place where the houses were built so close to each other, they would surely attract attention if they entered with too much commotion. If they stirred up any trouble, it wouldn’t be good for Miss Ji…

But this lock…

This door wasn’t as difficult to open as the common, anti-theft ones. However, Shen Mu did not have much experience. He found two steel wires and a thin wooden board, and deliberated the door for a long moment before attempting to unlock the door with the wires.
