Chapter 55: Chase After Her
The side effects of the sleeping drug were not as bad as Tang Yu expected.
She woke up very quickly, and the first thing she saw was Huo Jun’s face. They were in the backroom of the Antarctic Exhibit alone, and the door was tightly shut.
“Miles… What did you do to Miles?!” Tang Yu tried to push him away angrily, but the effects of ether had made her soft and limp.
Huo Jun smiled wretchedly, pouncing on her. He held her breasts with both hands and pushed her onto the table.
“I don’t want to kill him. You know, this is an oceanium. It’s common for safety accidents to happen here. Although it will give us a bad reputation, it’s not so bad that anyone would be charged with murder.”
“Don’t go too far!”
“If you let me f*ck you, I’ll let him out immediately and send him to a hospital.”
Tang Yu stared at him in horror. How could he be so despicable and shameless to threaten her with Miles’ life? What could she do? Could it be… that she really had no choice but to give herself to be ruined by this disgusting scum?
Miles was in danger, his life slowly slipping away.
Huo Jun could not wait to take off his pants. He knew that she would agree, and soon, she would start begging for mercy under his body.
“Wait!” Tang Yu glared at him. “How would I know if you keep your promise and let him out? I want to see him safe and sound with my own eyes!”
“You don’t have the right to negotiate with me.”
“It depends, do you want me to take the initiative…?”
Huo Jun was tempted by Tang Yu’s words. In the past, Tang Yu had never been kind to him. She had always been cold and merciless. If she was willing to take the initiative, her voice would definitely sound like heaven in his ears.
He took out his phone, opening the company’s surveillance system interface. He showed her the surveillance screen of the Antarctic exhibit.
However, something unexpected had happened. On the surveillance screen, the three rare polar bears laid on the ground motionless, with lifeless eyes. Huo Jun switched around the screens in disbelief. Miles was nowhere to be found!
Bang!
After confirming that Miles had escaped, Tang Yu grabbed a fire extinguisher and smashed it onto Huo Jun’s head. As she was afraid that she would kill him, she did not use much strength. Just enough to put him in a state where he couldn’t stand up.
She threw down the fire extinguisher before opening the door of the backroom to escape.
Huo Jun endured the pain as he chased after her.
In order to save space, the backrooms of the nearby venues in the oceanium were all connected.
Tang Yu ran forward without looking back. She had no idea where she was going, and could only hope to get out of this damned place as soon as possible to find Miles.
Miles, in the meanwhile, had already entered the backrooms. He walked around aimlessly, unable to find any traces of Huo Jun or Tang Yu.
He was extremely anxious. There was no surveillance system in the backrooms. How could he find her?
The signal…
He called Tang Yu, praying that she would pick up.
“Miles!” She answered his call in surprise.
“Xiao Yu, don’t be afraid. I’m coming for you.”
“I don’t know where I am.”
“It’s okay. Just keep talking. I’m coming.”
Tang Yu was full of joy. She wanted to find a place to hide, but the layout made it too easy to spot her.
Huo Jun’s footsteps could be vaguely heard. He knew the layout too well, and had been able to guess where she was.
She could not stop. She continued to run forward.
Miles.
She wished for Miles to just suddenly appear in front of her.
The sound of footsteps following her suddenly disappeared.
Tang Yu came to a halt as she wondered if Huo Jun had given up.
She pricked up her ears in an attempt to listen carefully.
Miles’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “Xiao Yu?”
“Huo Jun seems to have gone somewhere else,” Tang Yu whispered.
“Got it. Wait for me.”
She scanned the room’s layout. She seemed to be in a garbage room, with a few deep metal tunnels that led to unknown places.
She hid under the table nervously. Although she knew that hiding there was useless, there was no alternate source of cover in the room.
At least hiding under the table gave her a sense of security.
‘Miles, please hurry up…’
Tang Yu breathed into her palm to warm her cold fingers.
After five minutes, the sound of footsteps outside the door could be heard.
Tang Yu’s heart was lit up by a beam of hope!
She had never been so happy.
The door opened, and a pair of black leather boots came into view.
She looked up from under the table. Exactly at that moment, the beam of hope became a beam of despair as her face lost all its color.
It was Huo Jun!
Huo Jun had found her first!
