Chapter 403 - 5 minutes sharp. See you soon!

In a well-lighted room of some unknown place,

Li Xue was kept, tied up on the chair. Seeing her like that, anyone would think that she had been abducted to the place and would be soon tortured. But if given some brains they would come to understand that nothing was like what it had been presented.

Though the woman was tied up, her comfort in the position was well taken care of. The chair given was well-cushioned while it was not her hands or legs that had been cuffed rather her body had been tied to the chair so that she did not fall off it in her unconsciousness.

After some time of quietness, finally, Li Xue's body showed some movements. Her eyes that were been drooped closed, fluttered a little in response to the light when she tried to open it in consciousness.

Her brows got scrunched a little when she found herself tied up on the chair. "Wh – Where am I?" Words rolled out her lips in a little hoarse voice. She felt like something was blocking her throat, preventing her words from coming out clearly. Coughing a little, she cleared her throat.

Before going unconscious, she still remembered she was on her way with two men in the car. Weren't they taking her to Jing Wei Jin? She felt confused about the facts as she could not be sure of anything at this moment, especially when she could feel that something was definitely wrong around her.

Li Xue's eyes scanned the room only to realize that she was alone there with the door shut closed. Twisting herself on the chair, she got herself in a better position as she stared down at the rope that was keeping her at the place. Realizing something, she pressed her lips together and closed her eyes to calm her nerves that had begun to rage inside her. "Jing Wei Jinnn!" she yelled, keeping the curse under her breath.

The loose ropes around her were confirming that she has not been abducted halfway like she has thought rather has reached the destination she was intending to. How can she not know that it was another prank, that crazy man has pulled on her?

Her fingers efficiently worked on the ropes as she soon unbound herself from it. "What was he even thinking binding me like this? Did he even know how to do things properly? Who made him the mafia king? Hmph, he does not deserve the title at all", she said loud enough as if she was sure that there must still a pair of eyes looking at her.

When she was all done with the bounds, she looked at the door as a smirk got over her lips. "Now, it's the time to crack the deal!", she paused as her eyes turned sharp, looking at the corner of the ceiling. "You better see everything carefully. I don't want you to complain later". She added as she pulled her wrist up to look at her watch. Tapping a few times on its touch screen, she nodded to herself.

"So, it will be 5 minutes sharp. See you soon!" she said again as she looked at the door in her front. Her escape from the room would be easy but that strong wooden door would definitely not be serving any help in her way out. She sighed as her eyes caught the glass window at the side. Shaking her head, she thought to herself, 'Only if I don't have to chase the time, I would not have thought to shatter you into pieces'.

And just as her words got completed, the cushioned chair from the side was lifted up and was thrashed at the window with a force that shattered it in an instant. The loud bang of noise rang in the air, making everyone alert.

Li Xue remained fixed at her place even knowing that if not made the movements soon then the guarding men outside the corridor would be here to prevent her actions. But still, there was no line of care over her forehead, as if leaving the room had never been her intention. Her hands were fiddling into the pockets of the jacket she was wearing but was not able to find the thing she was searching for. "Aye, where did I drop it? I am sure I have kept it with me".

"Sigh, he must have taken it away", she concluded knowing well that none other than him would know what she carried in the pockets of her jacket. Her eyes went to look back at the window. Though she could go out from that small escape, given to the shards of glasses still stuck to the window frame, she would undoubtedly be getting wounds on her skin.

Not like she was fearing the pain at this moment. It was more like she was fearing the explanations, she would have to give to Mr Beelzebub when he would see her like that. But then, her eyes stared at her watch … She was running out of time already.

Keeping a track of the time, Li Xue thought to leap over the window, but just when she thought, approaching footsteps was heard near and the next second the door was pushed open revealing five to six men in a group.

Was the luck not on her side? She wanted to cry at her confidence. 5 minutes? Haha … it no longer seemed possible. Did she overdo it? Or did the man make better preparations this time?

Her lips pressed to give a forced smile as made eye contact with every man who came in with loaded pistols in their hand. "Haha … Hey, hello! Were you the people who have brought me here? Don't bother with the shattered glass window, I was not escaping from this place rather was just helping you out to check them. See, they are not all strong to keep the captives in here. If other than me, someone else had been here then they have long escaped. You guys really need to check all this from next time".

She said and the confidence in her tone was not giving her façade away. But then she did not have the whole night to play. Only 3 minutes 50 seconds to end the show.

"Does anyone have a pen? I can write you the kind and the thickness of the glass that would be suitable here", She asked, looking at the men with an expression of casualness.
