Chapter 686: Dao An:
An alternative escape plan suddenly flashed in her mind.She had practiced it.
In a Republic-era drama, helping someone escape from a small Western-style building, using torn curtains connected together to make an escape rope, tying it to an object in the room that can’t be easily moved, then dropping the connected curtains outside, finally sliding down the rope slowly...
The plan could be executed, and there were curtains, but Sheng Yi wasn’t confident in her own arm strength.
This requires strong arm muscles to support oneself sliding down slowly, otherwise, it’s all just wishful thinking.
But she couldn’t wait any longer.
She had to run; if she didn’t have the courage to slide down later, then she would just consider it as a warm-up exercise!!
Sheng Yi jokingly reassured herself.
She put down her phone to pull the curtains, and after pulling several times, they were as sturdy as a mountain, not moving an inch. She realized this was a high-end hotel; how could curtains fall with just a pull.
And forcibly pulling them down would definitely alert Qin Bing outside.
Forget it, abandon the curtain plan.
She went to her suitcase, opened it, and glanced inside. There were plenty of clothes, but... she was a bit reluctant; these clothes were branded, starting at five figures each.
She persuaded herself, these are external possessions, not that important.
In the end, she reluctantly picked up clothes, tied them together with knot after knot. Initially, she didn’t dare tie them too tightly, afraid they couldn’t be untied. Then thinking again, not being able to untie them is good, if the weight pulls the knots loose, it would be disastrous.
Suddenly full of energy, she eagerly tied all her clothes into tight knots.
It ended up being over four meters long, but still not enough. The other clothes, though branded, were too thin and might not hold.
This length would have to do.
She tied one end to the foot of the cabinet by the window, pulled forcefully, not much movement, ensuring it was secure enough.
She looked out the window.
She thought she’d back out at this stage.
But to Sheng Yi’s surprise, her courage didn’t falter in the critical moment. She pocketed her phone, it’s a bit cold at night in Manhattan, she had to find a jacket, searched the suitcase, found that the thicker ones were used for the escape rope.
Sheng Yi inwardly regretted not leaving a way back.
But she had come this far.
If she successfully escaped, and found it too hard, she could just come back, honestly admit fault, then go back to the country with him.
Thinking this, Sheng Yi felt capable again.
Outside the door suddenly came some noise, voices talking, it seemed like there were many people... guessing it should be Qin Bing talking to his bodyguards. But Sheng Yi wasn’t interested in what they were saying as long as Qin Bing wouldn’t come in too soon.
She lifted her foot over the window, tried to convince herself to look up, not down, otherwise she’d be scared. Hands clutching the clothes-made rope tightly, feet searching for a foothold, attempting to slowly slide down.
Click-
Then came the sound of unlocking at the door.
What the hell??
Opening the door without knocking??!!
Sheng Yi panicked, her hand loosened following suit, then her whole body slid down a section, undoubtedly Sheng Yi was scared out of her wits, her face pale.
Qin Bing was here!
He really was here!!
She might not escape!
Sheng Yi’s nerves were highly taut, the strength she was confident in earlier suddenly drained away, she realized how foolish her escape method was, in desperation she came up with such a dumb plan, she couldn’t last long at all.
One meter? Two meters? Impossible, she would fall, she would die.
But even more treacherous than her arm strength was the clothes, clearly tied with knots, slowly coming undone.
Despair surged over Sheng Yi, she regretted, she struggled to go back, wanting to grab the window edge.
At this point, a strong arm extended from inside the window, tightly gripping Sheng Yi’s wrist.
"Ah!!"
Sheng Yi was startled by the suddenly appearing arm, her hand involuntarily loosened again, her whole body plummeting downward, Sheng Yi was frightened to tears instantly flying from her eyes.
Sheng Yi wanted to act weak, begging Qin Bing to pull her up.
But she was too scared to speak, her throat hoarse could only produce whimpering sounds.
Until, above her head came a familiar voice—
"Miss Sheng Yi."
Sheng Yi froze, tried hard to look up, the man’s face appearing in her blurred vision, tense as he was pulling her.
At that moment Sheng Yi thought she was mistaken.
How could she mistake Qin Bing for Dao An?!
Dao An wouldn’t be here, he must be with his girlfriend, wouldn’t remember her.
But the voice came again, soothing her, gentle to the extreme:
"Miss Sheng Yi, don’t be afraid, I’m here."
These few words, at this moment to Sheng Yi, were more encouraging and comforting than anything else.
It was Dao An.
It really was Dao An.
He came, he was rescuing her.
Sheng Yi couldn’t say a complete sentence, the only response was whimpering cries, tears flying from her eyes, she didn’t know how embarrassing it was, she only knew her favorite man personally came to save her...
Minutes passed.
Sheng Yi selectively forgot the process of being pulled up by Dao An, there were people helping, some noisy voices, they were wearing Police uniforms, looking worried but also serious.
But the hand holding her wrist tightly hadn’t loosened for a second.
She almost threw herself entirely into Dao An’s arms.
With one hand’s wrist still gripped by him, the other arm wrapped around his neck, crying in a sobbing manner: "Wuwuwu why did you take so long to come..."
All the while crying, tightening her grip around him.
Sheng Yi couldn’t stop crying, her ears filled with the man’s deep, firm voice: "Don’t be afraid, I’m here."
