409 A Horrible Nightmare (1/2)

The ventilation pipe connected almost the entire gym. Unfortunately, not all pipes had air vents.

Naturally, there was a way around it. Ye Shuang could break a hole in the pipe by force after confirming the location of Cedrick. However, perhaps because it was late, it was unfortunate that even a hostage needed sleep. Ye Shuang could not hear Cedrick's voice at all.

What a sad story.

Feeling upset, all Ye Shuang could do was find a room without anyone in. After getting out of the air vent, she slowly sketched the building's floor plan in her head. She expanded the search range carefully.

It was a silent night with no people. The moon was dim, and the wind was blowing.

Cedrick was sleeping soundly. He faintly sensed a pair of eyes watching him in the dark. As he opened his eyes in a blur, he saw a silhouette watching him silently on the dark ceiling. It looked like a quiet ghost…

Cedrick jumped from his bed as if he had been drenched with a bucket of cold water. He caused a deep thud as he fell off bed from the panic. His earlier sleepiness had vanished completely. His heart seemed like it was going to jump out of his chest—he would have died if not for his strong, young body.

The person who was up on the ceiling could not help but enjoy the moment. She fell all of a sudden, flipping her body around with the support of her arms on the bed. She was like a cat that landed on the ground agilely—there was no sound. With the help of the blurry moonlight outside of the window, Cedrick finally realized that the person was Ye Shuang.

He felt like crying at the moment of realization.

Woman!

It's midnight, what are you trying to do‽

”You were sleeping soundly, weren't you?” Ye Shuang did not seem to realize that she had traumatized him. She squatted before Cedrick and, with a little regret, said in a lowered voice, ”Someone found out that you've been brought here. I rushed here for you. I thought I was being heroic, but it seems like you've surrendered. You're enjoying life, aren't you?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Cedrick sat on the ground clenching his teeth while pressing his hand on his chest with the attempt to slow down his beating heart. He lowered his voice, too. ”If you'd been held in captivity for half a month like me, I believe you'd get used to it eventually.”

As he had been being kidnapped for a long time while his position was rather high, it was only natural that he had been treated well.

At least nobody treated him as a one-time consumable or a short-term emergency bargaining chip.

Cedrick was a long-term potential hostage.

His eyes lit up after complaining. He had finally realized an important point that was worth caring about more than being in shock. ”You can get me out of here?”

She could definitely get out since she had gotten in.

Ye Shuang said nothing. She grumbled while looking at the ceiling with her head lifted. ”It's almost three meters high. Can you get up there?”

What do you mean?

Cedrick looked up following Ye Shuang's eyes, and he was dumbstruck. He had no idea how long there had been a hole in the ceiling. He looked at it with the help of the flashlight on Ye Shuang's phone. It seemed like a hole that had been dug, and he could faintly see the edge of the ventilation pipe from the hole. No wonder Ye Shuang had been in a strange pose when she was in the ceiling. He wondered how she had squeezed her body in the hole…
