Everything was ready, and the corners of Qiu Lan's mouth involuntarily raised, with a shallow smile in her bright eyes.

However, just as she was about to leave, there was a crisp sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the door of the studio, and the sound of two people talking.

Someone's coming!

In desperation, Qiu Lan, who was standing at the door, took a few steps back and hid in a small corner behind the broadcasting equipment, holding her breath and concentrating, ready to wait until the people outside left before going out.

But what was unexpected was that the two people who spoke just now turned out to be staff in the broadcast studio.

"Alas, I didn't expect the bonus to be so small this month. A man opened the door, strode in, and pressed the light on the door.

Suddenly, the lights in the entire room came on.

The panicked Qiu Lan furrowed her brows nervously, her eyes were full of panic, she quietly took a few steps into the broadcasting equipment, vigilantly observing the every move of the two people outside.

"Yes, last month there were about four thousand, and this month it's only two thousand. ”

The two staff members walked into the broadcast studio one after the other, chatting with each other, completely oblivious to the fact that there was another person in the room.

"Maybe it's because last month was the peak season, and the revenue of the whole hotel has increased. ”

As they spoke, they walked over to the front of the recording equipment and sat down, fiddling with the machine.

Qiu Lan, who was hiding behind the equipment, pursed her lips tightly, her palms were drenched in dense sweat, and a little sweat oozed from both sides of her nose.

At this moment, a gray and white spider came out of nowhere and quietly crawled in front of Qiu Lan.

She was already very afraid of small insects, she involuntarily tensed her body, her pupils dilated, her heart tightened suddenly, and she covered her lips and turned her head to the side.

Unexpectedly, this spider crawled towards Qiu Lan little by little, and the fear from the bottom of her heart invaded her body, and her hairs stood cold.

She moved to the side step by step, distancing herself from the terrible spider, not even noticing the mess of wires beneath her feet.

With a slight hook, I don't know which line of equipment it was hooked on, and the staff in the room immediately became alert.

"Hey, what's going on?" one of the men said in a puzzled voice, "I remember when I left before, I already turned on the microphone, why didn't the light come on?"

The person next to him heard his words and glanced sideways slightly, "No, I remember that you also opened it, did you loosen the plug?" ”

"Maybe it's been a long time since the wires of this device are long, and it's time to change them. ”

After the words settled, the man stood up and strode in the direction of Qiu Lan, ready to check the situation of the device.

His footsteps were getting closer, and if you took a few steps ahead, you would see someone behind them.

In a hurry, Qiu Lan bent down and threw a small black block under her feet that she didn't know what it was onto the wall in the opposite direction, "Bang!"

A loud noise caught the attention of the two staff members.

"What sound?" the man who was approaching Qiu Lan stopped and looked back in the direction the voice came from.

"I don't know, it looks like something has dropped. The man in his seat stood up and took a few small steps.

The person who was standing less than two meters away from Qiu Lan also turned around and walked towards the place where the small black piece fell.

The two staff members in the broadcast studio had their backs to Qiu Lan.

It's a good time to leave, and if you wait, you might be discovered.

Today, Qiu Lan is here to expose the true colors of Qiu Shiming and Qiu Yan, and she must not expose herself.

Taking advantage of this gap, she took a deep breath, her rosy lips twisted into a straight line, and her toes pointed in the direction of the door.

After silently counting down to three seconds, she rushed to the door as fast as she could, pulled open the doorknob and ran out.

But the two staff members behind him heard the sound of the door, and immediately came back to their senses, "Who!"

"Someone! chase!" one of the men put down what he was holding and chased after him, "Stop! Who are you?"

A man in the back also turned around vigilantly, picked up the baton on the table, and chased after him in great strides, "Stop!"

The corridors of the hotel are long and straight, and the rooms on both sides are tightly closed, so you can only be caught no matter which room you go to.

In desperation, Qiu Lan could only keep running forward.

The two people behind him were chasing each other louder and louder, and the distance was getting closer and closer.

"Stop! Stop! What the hell are you doing!"

The staff of GreenTree Inn Hotel are all trained, and although Qiu Lan has the habit of running all year round, it is difficult to outrun these two men.

Just around the corner, between Qiu Lan and the two men, a strong hand suddenly reached out, grabbed her cuffs, and with a slight force, hid in the dark stairwell.

"You. ”

Before Qiu Lan could speak, the man had already covered her red lips and lowered his voice, "Don't make a sound." ”

In the darkness, she had to listen to him, closed her lips, held her breath, and listened carefully to the movement outside the stairwell.

"What about people?" A man running in front stood around the corner, looking at the empty hallway, with a hint of doubt in his cold voice.

"Huh?" the staff with batons in the back chased after him, "Why aren't you there?"

"I don't know, I just chased it out and there was no one. The man stood still, frowning, and looking around solemnly, "Did you say he broke that microphone just now?"

"It's possible, let's look for it, the microphone is connected to the audio equipment, if we can't find someone, how can we afford it." The man behind waved his baton in his hand, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Listening to their conversation, Qiu Lan's heart suddenly sank.

How hard could it be to find someone in such a big place, and the stairwell was unusually empty, and the slightest sound would echo and be spotted by people outside, so she couldn't move easily, let alone run downstairs.

Besides, this is the twenty-fourth floor, how can you run?

It's over, it's over, it's really over.

Qiu Lan, who felt deeply uneasy, tightly twisted the brow on her forehead, her eyes full of despair.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine. The man standing in front of her stared at her wickedly by the light cast through the dim window of the door, his lips slightly raised.

Listening to his voice, Qiu Lan slowly raised her eyes and looked at the person in front of her.

But the faint light had been completely blocked by the man's body, and she couldn't see anything in the direction of the backlight, just a haze.

However, this voice was somewhat familiar to her, as if she had heard it somewhere before, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

Suddenly, there was a steady stream of footsteps in the corridor outside the stairwell, and the sound finally stopped outside the door of the stairwell.
