Chapter 15

Zhou Sheng straddled one leg on the windowsill, his eyes fixed on the phone, his face turning alternately pale and greenish, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

Outside the door, Grandma Zhou Sheng had already started knocking and urging.

"A Sheng, you've been in there for a long time. Are you done yet?"

"Not yet. I have diarrhea! Wait for another ten minutes!"

Zhou Sheng turned around and shouted, then continued to stare at the phone.

"Mu Rongyue, should I trust you?"

I gave a bitter smile.

"At this point, it's up to you."

I didn't expect there to be so many coincidences. The remarks of that Xie something He were really convincing. If I were to be honest with myself, if I weren't the person involved and were just among the audience, I'd most likely believe her too.

"Look, Mu Rongyue is speechless."

"Yeah, she can't argue anymore! Zhou Sheng, come back quickly!"

"Yeah, there must be kidnappers outside the community. We'll call the police for you first."

"Zhou Sheng, stay at home and wait for the police. Don't believe her words anymore."

Almost everyone in the barrage believed Xie something He, but Zhou Sheng took a deep breath and resolutely swung his other leg over the windowsill as well.

"Ahhhhh—"

"Zhou Sheng, what are you doing? Are you really going to jump down?"

"Damn it, buddy. Are you out of your mind? Why do you still believe this stuff?"

"Fuck you. You're the ones who are out of your mind!"

Zhou Sheng sat on the windowsill with a livid face, his voice on the verge of tears.

"Let me ask you, in the middle of the night like this, would you rather face a leather-skinned corpse or kidnappers?"

"The leather-skinned corpse wants my life, but the kidnappers just want money. I have plenty of money!"

After shouting in a low voice, Zhou Sheng stuffed the phone back into his pocket, then hung his hands on the windowsill and gently jumped down.

The screen suddenly went dark, and all that could be heard were the sounds of him landing on the grass and then running away quickly.

The onlookers were all stunned.

"This—What Zhou Sheng said makes so much sense. I'm at a loss for words."

"They just want my money—Damn it. I was being narrow-minded. As a poor person like me, I'd rather fight a ghost than be cheated out of my money."

"Now let's see what Mu Rongyue has to say! Anchor, Zhou Sheng has run out. What should we do next?"

Everyone stared at me through the screen.

Under the gaze of everyone, I smiled faintly and then made a phone call.

"Hello, the fish has taken the bait. Get ready to close the net."
