There might be someone standing outside the door. Chen Ge thought that it was too dangerous to open the door, but he had no better solution at the moment. This was an opportunity, one that they could not miss.

“Ying Chen probably has not wandered too far away from this place. There might be a trap right outside the door. Someone is probably waiting for me to open the door and crawl out.”

The sound of the cats would warn Chen Ge of Ying Chen, but they would not be able to do anything regarding Ying Chen’s helper. Chen Ge understood that deeply. Earlier, when he was pushed down the stairs by the boy, throughout the whole process, the child did not make any noise. It was not until the last moment that he had revealed his nasty fangs.

“Currently, there are two possibilities. The first possibility is that Ying Chen and his helper are respectively guarding before Mr. Wood and Miss Red’s doors, and the second possibility is that Ying Chen is hiding somewhere in the stairwell, and his helper has not left but is waiting outside the door. The conversation that they shared earlier was purposely leaked for me to hear so that I’d lower my guard.”

Chen Ge kept wondering about these two possibilities. For a normal person, the best choice would be to stay inside Miss Dress’ room. Even though the crazy murderer had the key, as long as he kept the door blocked, there should not be too big a problem.

But doing that meant that he would have positioned himself in a passive situation. Ying Chen could have easily made use of this time to go and do other things. Chen Ge had limited physique, and it was already difficult on his body for him to have to go through so many of the dangerous adventures since he had entered this door. If he continued to do this, the chance of an accident would only grow exponentially greater.

What worried him most were Mr. Wood and Miss Dress. After all, there was no trace of humanity in Ying Chen. The b*stard would stoop down to the lowest of the lows. If anything happened to the two of them, it would be extremely difficult for Ying Tong to get the chance to open his eyes again.

“Perhaps I can make use of this trap that Ying Chen has set for me and turn that into an opportunity, using the trap to change my current passive situation into something else.”

This idea appeared in his mind, but to ensure that this method would work, he had to be able to ensure that there was indeed someone outside the door.

Chen Ge dragged the sofa away from the door. He purposely made as loud a noise as possible, but in reality, he had only moved the sofa several centimeters back. With his hands on the doorknob, Chen Ge slowly removed the mop that was placed slanted against the door. He pressed down gently on the doorknob. The lock had already been undone by Ying Chen earlier. The surroundings were eerily quiet; he could not hear anything. There did not seem to be anyone out in the corridor.

“Have I overthought everything?” Chen Ge held his breath as he slowly pulled the door open. Just as the door was about to open, a giant force suddenly slammed into the door! “There’s someone out there!”

The door banged into the sofa behind it. A cold and icy hand reached out through the gap, and the dry fingers gripped Chen Ge’s wrist!

Chen Ge reacted in an instant. The sofa had not been fully moved from its place. The door slammed into the back of the sofa, and that acted as a buffer that had saved Chen Ge’s life.

The door was unable to open completely. Chen Ge used both of his hands to try to push the door shut, but the person had grabbed him by his wrist. The hand of the person outside the door was stuck through the small gap, so Chen Ge was unable to close the door unless he cut the person’s hand right off. The gap of the door was getting bigger and bigger.

Chen Ge was unable to see the development before him. His heart was burning like a fire. At that moment, he threw caution to the wind. He lowered his head and bit at the hand that had a death grip on his wrist!

When a person was under a highly intense situation, they would gain incredible strength. Chen Ge could feel his teeth chomp down right to the bone. A child’s scream came from outside the door. The person had to let go because of pain. Chen Ge instantly slammed his body into the door and forced the door shut while he still had the opportunity to do so. He grabbed the map by the side and replaced it against the doorknob. He laid it slanted underneath the doorknob and replaced the sofa against the door.

Gasping greedily for air, Chen Ge’s back was already covered in cold sweat. He leaned against the sofa. At that moment, Miss Dress’ phone that was inside his pocket suddenly started to vibrate. Chen Ge’s fingers pressed on the multiple buttons that were on the screen. Moments later, he finally got the call connected.

“Hello?”

“It’s me.” Mr. Wood’s voice came from the other side of the line. His tone was dark, and he lowered his voice to very soft. “Ying Chen is now outside my door.”

“Keep your front door locked and stay away from the door. We have to make sure that Ying Chen won’t be able to overhear any of our conversation.” Chen Ge adjusted his breathing. Everything was within his predictions. Ying Chen knew that Ying Tong had accepted Ah Mu, so he would definitely go looking for Mr. Wood and Miss Red.

“I am inside my study. It is very far from the front door, so he won’t be able to hear us.”

“Did Ying Chen tell you anything? What did he say?”

“He did not say anything; he did not even announce himself. He just stood there outside my door. If you did not just call to warn me, I would not have known there was someone just standing outside my door.” Mr. Wood was still shaking as he thought about it.

“He is probably waiting for you to open your door, and then he will rush in. The madman is capable of doing anything.” Chen Ge kept retreating and hid on the other side of the sofa. He lowered his voice to a whisper to ensure that the person outside the door would not be able to hear him. “There is a favor that I have to ask from you.”

“Go ahead.”

Chen Ge took a deep breath. He wanted to make a bet with Ying Chen. Without risk, there would be no reward. “Ying Chen is guarding outside your door, and his helper is outside mine. I need you to call Miss Red for me. Have her bring Ah Ying away from her room and try to sneak him to the cleaning closet on the third floor without alarming anyone.”

“Get him without anyone noticing to the cleaning closet? Have you lost your mind?”

“Listen, only by accepting Ah Ying, Ah Tong, and Ah Mu will Ying Chen have a chance to open his eyes. We have to make sure that Ying Tong meets these three kids somehow. If we are all hiding inside our rooms, Ying Tong and his helper only need to guard outside two of our doors, and we will never have a chance to win.” Chen Ge analyzed this very calmly.

1“This is madness.”

“Ah Tong suffers from claustrophobia, so the person who hides inside the cleaning closet has to be Ah Ying!” There was indeed an undercurrent of madness in Chen Ge’s tone, but the man himself did not realize that. “Ying Chen is staying outside your door. Your room is on the second floor. His helper is waiting outside my door, I am on the ground floor. No matter how this building is connected, Miss Red is the furthest from either of them, she should have enough time to do all these things.”

“But what is the point of doing all these things?”

“Ying Chen has laid a trap for me. But when he set this trap, he exposed a weakness. This is our only chance.” Chen Ge’s voice squeezed through the gap of his teeth. Even though he was unable to see anything, through the trap that Ying Chen had designed for him, Ying Chen had inadvertently revealed the location of himself and his helper.

Mr. Wood gave it some thought before it dawned on him what Chen Ge was planning to do. “Okay, I will give Miss Red a call now.”

The call ended. There was a dial tone that kept on going.

After about ten minutes, the phone in Chen Ge’s palm started to vibrate again. “Hello?”

“Miss Red has already sneaked Ah Ying to the cleaning closet on the third floor. Thank god there was no accident.” Mr. Wood’s voice came from the other line.

“Is Ying Chen still waiting outside your door?”
