Mr. Gu, stop chasing me! Miss Jiang has become a movie queen!

The tour guide took Jiang Ning to the lounge at the front desk, where several waiters who had worked the early shift were already resting. Some of them were even snoring. Jiang Ning also slowed down his movements.

"How about you sleep here tonight? Then you'll have someone to keep you company. If you go to an empty room, you'll still be alone."

The tour guide looked back at Jiang Ning and asked for her opinion, and Jiang Ning nodded in agreement.

Then she asked, "Where should I sleep? Both beds are occupied."

"Easy to handle."

Jiang Ning was half-believing and half-doubting the tour guide's two words.

He got a trestled bed from somewhere, and asked the front desk clerk to find a new set of bedding to put on it. Soon he made a simple bed.

"Is this okay?"

He pointed at the made bed and asked Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning: "That's fine. By the way, have you called the police?"

"I have reported it. If you have any problem, come to me. But this place is so far from the city after all. It will take time for the police to arrive. They can only come tomorrow at the latest. But don't worry, these bodyguards will guard you."

Jiang Ning made an OK gesture, and the tour guide understood and left, closing the door behind him.

Although it was still pitch black, the atmosphere was obviously different when there were other people around.

Jiang Ning took off her shoes and lay back on the bed, smelling the unique scent of the new quilt. A feeling of comfort rose in her heart. She wrapped herself in the quilt, leaving only her face outside, and fell asleep listening to their breathing.

But Jiang Ning always felt like he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember what exactly he had forgotten.

"Ding-dong-"

The WeChat notification sound rang, sounding so crisp in the empty night.

Jiang Ning suddenly opened her eyes, and she finally remembered what she had forgotten. She left her cell phone upstairs!

"Oh no, oh no, I must have left in such a hurry that I forgot my phone. There are so many important things in my phone, what if someone sees it?"

She sat up from the bed. The bed frame made a loud noise due to Jiang Ning's force, as if it would fall apart in the next second.

The two waiters who were on the early shift were still in deep sleep. At this moment, their voices were amplified countless times in Jiang Ning's ears, making Jiang Ning feel very annoyed. Should he ask the tour guide to do it again?

Since she couldn't go up and take a look in person anyway, she might as well think on the bright side. She consoled herself, "Maybe the thief left in a hurry and didn't see the phone."

With a frightened mood, Jiang Ning lay back in her bed again. Her eyes were wide open. Her night vision had fully recovered. She could see the basic situation around her without turning on the lights.

This was a lounge that couldn't be any smaller. There was already no space left after putting down two beds, and now with her bed added, it became even more difficult to move around.

In the small and cramped space, the air was not circulating well. Jiang Ning felt like she was about to suffocate, but she didn't dare go near the window and could only hold on like this.

"Forget it, never mind. There are so many people here, what can he do to me?"

Finally, Jiang Ning couldn't stand this humid and stuffy air anymore, so she walked to the window and opened it as wide as possible. The fresh air that flowed in made her mind clearer, but the air was still mixed with the smell of earth.

After drawing open the curtains, what she saw was not the same night view as in her own room, but a wall.

The distance between the window and the wall is only half a meter. Jiang Ning can reach it by stretching out his arm. This wall should belong to another homestay, but the two homes are too close, so even if the curtains are opened in the lounge, the sun cannot be seen.

Something flashed through his mind, and Jiang Ning seemed to react suddenly. He immediately closed and locked the window, and pulled the curtains again.

"Since the two houses are so close, the thief who jumped from the second-floor window is probably still in the mezzanine between the two buildings! Oh my god, I just opened the window, so he wouldn't have noticed me, right?"

Jiang Ning squatted under the curtains, covered her mouth and dared not make a sound. She quickly ran to her bed and lay back down. Her breathing came and went, and Jiang Ning's tense nerves finally relaxed.

Somehow, she fell asleep, but it was a very light sleep. When the morning and evening shifts of waiters took over, Jiang Ning woke up too.

Half asleep and half awake, Jiang Ning saw the waiter changing clothes. She asked, "What time is it now?"

The waiter put on his vest, pinned his badge, glanced at his phone, and said, "It's five in the morning, there's no rush to get up, you can continue to sleep, we should go prepare breakfast."

"Oh... five o'clock..."

Jiang Ning turned over. There was no one else to disturb her in the room. In the quiet environment, she closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

My head is like a paste. I always wake up after a while and then fall asleep again.

After repeating this several times, Jiang Ning finally couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up by the edge of the bed, but her knees hit the foot of the bed. The pain made her wake up quickly. Jiang Ning suddenly remembered: My cell phone! It's still upstairs!

It is now bright outside and all the electrical wires have been repaired. Even though it is daytime, all the lights in the B&B are still on.

Jiang Ning almost rushed up to the second floor, found her own room, and then saw the broken screen of her mobile phone on the carpet.

"Ah, fortunately, it wasn't stolen."

At this moment, she held the mobile phone in her hand like a treasure and turned to find a charger. From what she remembered from last night, the mobile phone had no battery at all.

Jiang Ning searched through all the drawers and finally found the charger under the sofa. After connecting to the power supply, the phone turned on automatically. Although the screen was broken, it was still usable.

She couldn't wait to fully charge her battery, so she logged back into her WeChat, eager to tell Gu Yuan about this.

"You don't know, I was almost scared to death last night. The power went out right after I hung up the video for you, and someone even knocked on my door."

Then I clicked send, but it showed that the signal was bad. I sent the message for a long time, but it was still spinning in circles and could not be sent.

Jiang Ning was staring at her mobile phone screen the whole time. What she didn't know was that the danger behind her was approaching quietly.

A loud bang startled Jiang Ning. She turned around and saw that the door had closed by itself without her knowing.

She glanced at the open window and comforted herself that it might be because the window was not closed properly and the wind was blowing in, but her sixth sense told her that something was wrong here.

After wrapping the charging cable around the phone, Jiang Ning held the phone tightly in her hand. Her escape route was blocked, so she prepared to jump out the window to escape.

Jiang Ning walked to the window and looked down. The floor was not high, and it was within her acceptable range. The distance from the second floor to the ground was only about three meters, and there was grass below, so she shouldn't suffer much injury.

"God bless me, I wish to do good deeds throughout my life, please don't let me die in this hellish place."

Jiang Ning leaped forward, and the huge feeling of weightlessness made her dizzy, but this feeling was fleeting, and soon she fell to the soft grass due to gravity.

Her lower back touched the grass, but it did not bring the pain she had imagined. She rolled twice on the ground and sat up again. Apart from feeling a little nauseous, she did not feel any other discomfort.

Jiang Ning looked towards the window with lingering fear, and found that her sixth sense was correct. There was indeed a figure-like figure at the window, looking back at her.

This meant that the man had indeed not left all night and was waiting for her to come back in the mezzanine between the two buildings.

As if he felt that his whereabouts were exposed, he left in a panic. Jiang Ning ran quickly to a crowded place. This was almost the fastest she had ever run in her life.

After she sat down on the table, she didn't care about the strange looks from people around her. The cleaning lady saw that she was out of breath and handed her a bottle of water.

Jiang Ning drank with big gulps. Even the cleaning lady couldn't help asking her, "Oh, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

She just waved her hand but didn't say anything. After all, she couldn't even breathe, so how could she speak?

Jiang Ning borrowed a power bank from the front desk, and luckily she brought her cell phone with her this time. She called the police again, briefly told them what had just happened, and then stayed in a place where the surveillance camera could capture her, waiting for the police to arrive.
