Shi Man narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. “It’s very simple. You just have to go back and tell your boss that you found the three people secretly smoking drugs downstairs and bring him down. After it’s done, I’ll give you the antidote.”
Xiao Zhou never expected her to want to use him to capture them all. His eyes widened in horror. “You’re a police officer?”
Thinking of her identity, Xiao Zhou suddenly raised his hand and touched his stomach. Hope suddenly surged in his heart.
If she was really a police officer, then that thing just now might really not be poison!
However, what was rare was that before the seed of hope in his heart could take root in his chest, it was ruthlessly extinguished by Shi Man. “I’m not. I’m just a killer, so you should know clearly what you should do now.”
This time, Xiao Zhou completely shut his mouth.
There was no doubt that he wanted to live.
She was not a police officer. She would kill him at any time.
Faith wavered between morality and life for only an instant. Without hesitation, he chose the latter. “Okay, I can do as you say, but you can’t go back on your word. You have to give me the antidote.”
“Of course.” Shi Man smiled knowingly and returned to the back of the corner. She narrowed her eyes and watched him. “Go. Remember, you only have an hour.”
The hesitation and helplessness appeared on Xiao Zhou’s face for a moment, but he quickly hid it well.
He turned and trudged backupstairs.
After Shi Man saw him leave with her own eyes, she turned around and left this corner, hiding in another place.
Actually, she had wanted to deal with Xiao Zhou like she had dealt with the three people previously, but after hearing Xiao Zhou’s shout at the three of them, she changed her mind at the last minute.
If she still drugged him according to the plan, the people upstairs would definitely realize that something was wrong. At that time, the man called Brother Peng might be driven to desperation and use the hostage to threaten her to surrender. At that time, the situation would naturally become passive.
That was why she changed her plan at the last minute and asked Xiao Zhou to lure Brother Peng down alone. As long as she captured this chief planner, she believed that the people above would become leader less. At that time, it would be easy to deal with them.
Soon, Xiao Zhou walked down with Brother Peng.
He walked behind the man and stared uneasily at the corner where Shi Man was hiding.
“Where are they?” Brother Peng rounded on him angrily.
Xiao Zhou pointed behind the wall with a trembling finger. “Over there.”
Brother Peng snorted and looked deeply at Xiao Zhou. Then, just as they were about to reach the corner, he suddenly gave Xiao Zhou a look. The two of them raised their guns one after another and surrounded the corner tightly.
However, to their surprise, the corner of the wall was already empty.
“What’s going on?” Brother Peng did not react for a moment.
However, Xiao Zhou had already suffered a loss just now. He cursed his carelessness and hurriedly roared, “Big Brother, be careful. That woman is very sinister. She might be hiding behind us!”
Hearing this, Brother Peng immediately turned around and pointed his gun coldly at the cement pillar behind him.
On the way here just now, he had already taken the opportunity to look around with Xiao Zhou. Only this place was another perfect blind spot. That woman must be hiding here!
He and Xiao Zhou looked at each other, then quickly surrounded them from both sides. With a roar that seemed to embolden them, Xiao Zhou was the first to rush behind the cement pillar, but he raised his gun and did not move for a long time.
“What’s going on?” Brother Peng hurriedly went around.
Who was hiding behind the concrete pillar?
“Where is she? Why isn’t she here?” Brother Peng put down his gun in exasperation and frowned at the extremely shallow footprints on the ground.
He was almost certain that there was indeed a person standing here just now!
Xiao Zhou’s hands trembled and he couldn’t speak properly in fear. “Brother Peng, did we encounter a ghost!”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Who would encounter a ghost in broad daylight!” Brother Peng rolled his eyes at him in frustration. Then, he thought of something and his heart skipped a beat. “Not good!”
With that, he pushed away Xiao Zhou, who was blocking the way, and ran back upstairs while panting. His eyes were bloodshot!
He had fallen into a trap!
This was clearly that woman’s plan to lure him away!
The few people who were still sleeping upstairs were all unconscious on the ground.
His heart immediately skipped a beat, and his forehead was covered in sweat. He hurriedly walked towards the innermost bed.
Xiao Zhou also rushed over from behind. He was about to say something when he was shocked to see the empty bed frame. His legs almost went weak and he collapsed to the ground. “Brother Peng, where’s that child? Why is she missing?”
Brother Peng roared angrily and kicked the chair beside him. “Find her! Find her! That woman won’t leave this building so easily with a child! You have to find her!”
Below, after the vice-captain and the others finished checking the floors one by one, only the top two floors had not been searched.
He was about to bring people up when he was caught off guard and heard this roar. His heart immediately rose to his throat..
