扳手 said, "No one is more suitable than Yanzi. Liu Eleven now doesn't allow us to leave the park. Even Abu has to move in and share a dorm with me. Also, the escape of Yang Lianting has made Director Ning very angry. He's using all his connections to capture him. I suspect Yang took a lot of secrets about the park with him."
I asked, "By the way, do you know anything about the women's training camp in the Red Mansion?"
"Not much. The Red Mansion's affairs are highly confidential within the park. However, I sometimes take bodies from the first floor to be buried. Those women's deaths are horrifying."
"From what you said, it must be true. There's no reason for them to die so horribly unless people watching the live streams paid high prices and made twisted demands for the women's treatment."
I didn't know how to express my anger. Escaping is now my only motivation for living.
Ba Yi and Screwdriver were both in low spirits, absentmindedly twirling their guns.
"Knock, knock, knock."
A rapid knock on the door suddenly sounded.
"Someone's coming."
I quickly stood up, hid my gun, and they scrambled onto their beds to pretend to sleep.
Chen Weiqiang took out a pack of cigarettes from his shirt pocket, calmly playing with it while staring intently at the wooden door.
扳手, holding an AK, leaned against the window, lost in thought with a cigarette.
This old smoker wasn't smoking tobacco; he was smoking his loneliness.
It was the longing for home.
When I opened the door, I was stunned. "Uncle Li... What happened to you?"
Li Jianguo was covered in blood. The wound on the right side of his face, which had been healing, had reopened overnight, making his face a bloody mess. Even someone as tough as me couldn't help but shiver at the sight.
It was too grotesque, too terrifying.
At first glance, it looked like several bloody centipedes were tangled together, making one feel nauseous.
Li Jianguo came in sideways and asked directly, "Did you go to the basement to kill someone last night?"
I closed the door and felt a surge of tension. "Did you come to the dorm to kill me?"
扳手 immediately threw down his cigarette and loaded his gun.
Ba Yi and Screwdriver also quickly got up from their beds, staring intently at the frenzied Li Jianguo.
"I said I wouldn't kill you. No one can change that."
Li Jianguo sneered and looked at the equally tense 扳手 and the others. "Including you all. I'm not a beast; I can tell good from bad. I don't care about the park; I only want to kill my enemies!"
I breathed a sigh of relief, not wanting to be his enemy. "Where were you last night? What did you find?"
"I met Director Ning at the villa. He said Yang Lianting ate my child. I got furious and went out to kill him because Director Ning said he had invited Yang for a drink. I hid on the way but didn't see Yang; instead, I saw you go into the basement. So I broke into Yang's place."
"The bastard killed the wrong person. I wanted to go out and kill Yang, but Liu Eleven wouldn't let me, saying there would be a chance later."
Li Jianguo clenched his cracked fist, his expression distorted with anger, making his wounds look even more gruesome.
I sighed, "You should treat your wounds first, or they'll get infected. I think Yang Lianting might not be related to your wife and child. He's probably being used by Liu Eleven."
Damn it, if only Liu Eleven had ordered Li Jianguo to kill Yang Lianting two days earlier, we could have all escaped by now.
Li Jianguo said bitterly, "I'll kill Yang Lianting no matter what. I'll keep Liu Eleven's life for now. When you guys escape, take me with you."
"We'll wait for the right opportunity. There's no hope for now."
I sat on the bed like a deflated balloon, looking dejectedly at the silent 扳手.
The doctors on the open sea medical ship were killed, and Liu Eleven easily found scapegoats. Whether he suspected me or not no longer mattered.
Without witnesses or evidence, it couldn't be pinned on me. Plus, some of the executed piglets killed a few people, and with Yang Lianting bribing insiders to escape, no one would easily suspect me.
There were other skilled people in the park besides me. Besides, 扳手 and the others used sharp weapons to kill.
The thug I killed with a single strike was later finished off by them.
"Knock, knock, knock."
A rhythmic knock sounded again.
This time, I wasn't as nervous. I opened the door and saw Yanzi.
"You guys talk. I'm going to the medical room to bandage my wounds so as not to scare your sister."
Li Jianguo, being tactful, got up and left the dorm when he saw Yanzi's frightened face.
After he left, Yanzi patted her chest, saying, "Oh my God, what happened to him?"
I sighed, "The stomach acid of a big snake damaged him. He doesn't want treatment, saying the pain helps him remember his hatred. It's a sad story."
Yanzi looked at me eagerly, "Brother Ning and I are going back to the Fourth District. Do you have anything to say to me?"
"Yes!"
I grabbed her hand and pulled her into the bathroom, closing the door.
"You..." Yanzi looked a bit nervous, her face turning red.
"Don't misunderstand; I'm afraid of eavesdropping." I released her hand and lowered my voice, "There's a woman from the Ming family held in the Red Mansion. When you get out, find a way to spread the news."
"Tell them the KK Park disregards honor, kidnapping even the woman from Guogan's Wohu Villa to make her a female assistant in the Red Mansion's porn live streams."
Yanzi was shocked. She had just told me about the Ming family, and now I revealed this explosive news.
"How do you know this? Is it accurate?"
"Jade told me. She's been inside the Red Mansion. Can you do it? If it's too risky, don't. I don't want you to get hurt. I'll think of another way."
I was still considering whether to let her meet Yan Yun.
Also, I doubted Yan Zi's true identity. She didn't seem like a naive girl.
Otherwise, how could she win the favor of a cunning businessman like Brother Ning?
Yanzi said firmly, "I'll find a way to do it. Don't worry, Brother Tang won't do anything to me. He hasn't returned yet, so this must be a tricky matter. Yang Lianting must have fled far."
"Okay, be careful. Once it's done, call Liu Eleven and say you're sending me stinky tofu. I'll understand."
"Deal."
Just then, a voice called out from outside the dorm, "Sister Yan, Brother Ning wants you to hurry up. We're leaving."
"I'm going. Stay safe, or you'll be in trouble."
Yanzi opened the bathroom door and gracefully ran to the dorm door.
Then she opened the door and left with the thug who had come to fetch her.
扳手 took a drag on his cigarette, looking at the sun outside, and said, "We've come this far; we can only leave it to fate now."
We said nothing, not knowing how to express our inner turmoil.
