Two and a half hours later.
Ye Shu, drowsy from sleep, was awakened by the loud commotion next door.
She got up in a daze and heard a woman's voice across the doorway, filled with sobs, "Director Sun, please, please don't do this..."
Director Sun? Sun Nanjue?
A chill went through Ye Shu's heart, and she sobered up a bit.
She crouched down, picked up an empty wine bottle from the ground, and staggered toward the next room, kicking the door open.
Without a second thought, she knocked the man on the head with the bottle and then grabbed the woman's hand to run out, shouting as they went, "Linlin, don't be afraid, I'm here..."
"You, who are you? I don't know you, let go of me." The voice of a stranger rang out.
Ye Shu was taken aback, turned her face, and saw under the lamp light a strange woman's face streaked with tears, looking at her warily.
Taking advantage of Ye Shu's momentary shock, the woman wrenched her hand away and ran out.
