Originally, I didn't want her food, but then I thought, maybe I'll need it for tonight's escape, so I tucked the big ham into my pocket.
Arriving at the second-floor office area, I immediately entered a state of idle chatter.
Thinking about tonight's potential escape, I felt relaxed and in good spirits. It was as if I was back home, sipping tea and typing away on the keyboard, documenting my thrilling experiences.
Little did I know, another unforeseen danger was quietly approaching me.
"Congratulations, newcomer Xiao Linzi, for closing a hundred-thousand deal!"
Big Head was all smiles, praising Xiao Linzi incessantly and encouraging other newcomers to learn from him.
"Team leader, now that I've closed a big deal, can you tell me where my wife is?"
Xiao Linzi seized the opportunity while Big Head was in a good mood and immediately brought up this long-awaited condition.
"No, this performance isn't enough!"
Big Head's expression turned serious as he shook his head.
Then, he left a few hundred yuan, along with some drinks and bread, on Xiao Linzi's desk, preparing to leave.
"Team leader, this money's for you!" Xiao Linzi rushed over, grabbing him and with an uncertain look in his eyes continued, "Do I need to make a big contribution for you to tell me?"
"You can tell me what you have in mind! I'll consider it!" Big Head encouraged him, interested to hear more.
With his head lowered, Xiao Linzi seemed to gather his resolve before he blurted out, blushing, "Xiao Pingzi plans to escape tonight!"
Boom!
It felt like a thunderbolt striking my head. If I hadn't grabbed onto the railing, I might have fallen over.
"He's planning to escape? With who?"
Big Head stared at me sharply, eager to know the names of the others involved.
"..." Dinosaur Sister was dumbfounded, staring at me blankly, her teeth chattering.
Scar Uncle nearby also turned pale with fear.
I struggled to control my emotions, pretending to remain calm as I continued typing on the keyboard.
That idiot Xiao Linzi, betraying me after I treated him so well!
My heart ached with betrayal. Did he really think that betraying me would make me leave?
I must have been blind to have sympathized with him!
If I implicated Scar Uncle and Dinosaur Sister, I'd be in trouble twice over!
"They're all in it! Every night, they've been secretly discussing escape plans in the dorm!"
Xiao Linzi's eyes flickered as he pointed at Scar Uncle, who was sweating profusely, and Dinosaur Sister, who was trembling.
"Well done! So you three conspired together just to escape?"
Big Head smirked slyly as he walked over to me. "You're quite the survivor, Xiao Linzi. You've forgotten the pain once the scar has healed!
You're new here, barely familiar with the different departments in the park. How could you have planned an escape?"
"Tell me, who instigated you? What's your plan?"
Big Head approached, eager to extract information from me while pretending to be calm.
It was obvious that besides Scar Uncle, there was no one else who could be suspected. And Dinosaur Sister, being a woman with good performance, was unlikely to have plotted an escape.
Smart people could easily figure out who was behind the scenes.
"No one instigated me. I just felt that this place was too cruel and complained to him that once we earned enough money, we should leave."
I shot Xiao Linzi a sharp glance and spoke calmly.
This bastard, really deserves a beating.
Scar Uncle was right. Not everyone is worth trusting. One misstep and you'll be sold out.
Unexpectedly, it was Xiao Linzi who betrayed me, not the white-dressed woman I barely knew.
What irony!
What happened to the most basic trust between people?
"Wow, you're quite emotional! But unfortunately, this is a place for the bold! Did you forget everything I told you a couple of days ago?"
Smack!
Before I could respond, Jade Sister slapped me hard across the face!
...I clenched my fists, boiling with anger, wishing I could strangle her!
How dare she slap me!
"Supervisor, he's the worst! It was all his idea!"
Xiao Linzi, as if possessed, continued to accuse me relentlessly.
"Put all three of them in the dog cage! They want to run, right? Let's see if they can survive tonight! If they're still alive tomorrow, we'll let bygones be bygones!"
Jade Sister gave me a stern look and ordered the lackeys to take the three of us away.
"Xiao Linzi, you'll regret smearing my name!"
I glared at Xiao Linzi, each word dripping with anger.
"I'll never regret it!"
Xiao Linzi sneered, his eyes turning cunning and strange.
As we were being escorted away, Dinosaur Sister suddenly turned and shouted, "Xiao Linzi, you piece of trash! Your wife has been turned into a human pig and sold to the old street as a freak show, hahaha!"
