Chapter 17: Claustrophobia
"That guy, driving millions of sports cars to your house, and running to your house at every turn, kissing me and me at the bar with you, staying overnight at your house, you dare to say that you are not his underground lover?" The voice outside was full of anger and jealousy, but Mi Ke heard it inexplicably.
A sports car of millions?
This inexplicable sentence made Mike realize an extremely terrible thing.
"You...... How do you know that he drove millions of sports cars to my house and went to the bar with me, and how do you know that he stayed overnight at my house?"
"Because I've been watching you. The voice at the door, suddenly there was no anger, although through the door, I could still feel that the person was laughing.
"I watch you every day, what time do you wake up, what time do you go live, what time do you go out, what time do you order takeout...... I just kept watching until I saw that you were full of lies, lying to us on the surface that you were single, but in fact you were being a junior for the rich second generation!"
"You...... Who the hell are you?" she heard her voice tremble.
"Of course it's a fool to believe you. The person outside the door said gloomily, "I wanted to give you another chance to make amends, but I didn't expect you to stay in a hotel with that little white face." Since you want to stay here, stay for it. You can stay as long as you want. ”
The man seemed to have flipped a button, making a "stuck" sound, followed by the sound of footsteps going upstairs.
Soon, everything fell silent.
Miko unlocked the door and pulled it hard, but it didn't open. She realized that the door had been locked.
"Open the door, open the door!" Michael shouted as she banged on the door of the workshop, but only silence fell in response.
Silence?
Miko's figure shook, and then he turned to look at Erha.
"Erha...... Erha?!"
Erha, who had been silent, sat on the floor of the workshop, his clothes soaked with blood flowing down, cold sweat flowing, and his body stiffened.
"What's wrong with you, Erha?" Michael went over and crouched down beside Erha, examining his wounds.
The switchblade stabbed so deep that Mi didn't dare to pull it off easily, and she held Erha in panic and called his name.
"It's okay," Erha closed his eyes tightly, doing his best to keep his composure, "I have claustrophobia, let me ...... It's good to take some relief. ”
The workshop was built in a small space in the hallway, where linen and cleaning supplies were stored for housekeeping staff. Since there are no windows and the doors are closed, it can be called almost a completely enclosed space.
Mi Ke didn't know much about claustrophobia, and she didn't know how to help Erha resolve it, so in a hurry, she remembered the almighty thing that she had forgotten - her mobile phone.
I hurriedly took out my mobile phone, but was frustrated to find that there was no signal on my mobile phone.
"What should I do, there is no signal on my phone," Miko's tears fell again, "It's all my fault, I hurt you like this!"
"It's okay," Erha comforted Miko, "Mengmeng will definitely find us." ”
"But...... The door was locked, and there was no cell phone signal, how could she find it?" Michael's madness had reached the point of collapse.
"She's going to, that's what she did. Erha said, slowly extending his hand to Michael, "Hold my hand, calm down, we can go out soon." ”
Through the yellowish light of the workshop, Mi Ke looked at Erha, his face emitted a shallow thin light under the light due to cold sweat, and his clothes were soaked in blood and cold sweat, clinging to his body.
He is fighting against his claustrophobia, but he does not forget to give her comfort and security, and Michael is moved and blames himself.
"Let's talk," Erha said to Michael, taking a deep breath.
"Okay......" Michael looked around, the small space also scared her, she tried to close her eyes like Erha, pretending to be relaxed and asked, "What are you talking about?"
“……”
The topic is a little awkward, and Mi Ke seems to realize it, as if because he always feels that he has caused Erha to become like this, Mi Ke has shouldered the task of finding a topic.
"You just said that Wang Mengmeng can always find you?
This is not a very pleasant topic, Erha was silent for a moment, but still replied cooperatively: "When I was a child, I lived in the same compound as Wang Mengmeng. My parents were in the country, and I lived with my grandmother all the time. Because of my appearance, the children in the yard called me 'sissy', they didn't like to play with me, and they always bullied me. Not far from our yard, there was an abandoned furniture factory, and the bad boys always took me there and put me in a cupboard...... That's when I developed claustrophobia. Fortunately, Mengmeng always reported grievances for me, and they bullied me, and I returned them all for me. She can always find me from the cupboard and take me out of that dark and claustrophobic space......" At this, the corners of Erha's lips rose and a smile appeared, "So this time, she will definitely find me and find us." ”
"Erha......" Mi Ke looked at Erha with tears in her eyes, at this moment, she finally understood why Erha always likes to hide behind Wang Mengmeng when she is in danger. also understands why the friendship between Erha and Wang Mengmeng is so strong, he always stands by Wang Mengmeng's side without hesitation, because in such a bitter childhood, Wang Mengmeng always stands by his side so firmly.
"However, now that she has someone she likes, it seems to me that she should learn to protect herself. Erha's smile added a touch of bitterness.
"Not only can you protect yourself, but you can protect me. Miko wiped away a handful of tears and said with a smile, "Look, didn't you protect me just now?"
"Really?" Erha opened his eyes and looked at Miko's gaze, but he was a little confused.
"I'm a little tired. Erha said, "I'm a little sleepy too, I think I need to sleep for a while." ”
"No, Erha, you can't sleep! you can't sleep!" Miko was frightened, she wanted to shake Erha hard, but she was afraid of touching his wound. Erha didn't seem to hear Michael's call, and slowly, leaned on Michael's shoulder.
"Don't sleep, Erha, wake up!" Mi Ke patted Erha's face, but Erha closed his eyes as if he was asleep.
"Don't, don't!" Mi Ke called out to Erha in panic, and then raised his voice and shouted loudly, "Help! Help! Is there anyone, help!"
***
"Erha?"
"Michael?"
Wang Mengmeng, who returned to the room, found that the room was empty, and there was neither Erha's shadow nor Mi Ke's.
Where did these two people go?
She took out her phone and flicked Erha a voice call request, but she didn't get any response.
guessed that maybe this guy didn't look at WeChat, Wang Mengmeng called the phone again, but what he heard was the prompt sound of Erha's mobile phone turning off.
Wang Mengmeng turned to call Mi Ke, but Mi Ke's phone was not in the service area.
An ominous premonition hit Wang Mengmeng's heart.
She rushed out of the room, the corridor was empty, and there was no shadow of Erha and Mi Ke, Wang Mengmeng ran into the elevator without thinking about it, and came to Lu Dan's office.
I saw Lu Dan standing at the door and about to go out.
Seeing Wang Mengmeng, Lu Dan didn't have much of a surprised expression.
From just now, he felt a feeling of uneasiness surging in his heart. There was always a premonition that Wang Mengmeng might come to him, and this premonition came so urgently that he didn't realize its rationality at all.
So much so that Lu Dan was not surprised to see Wang Mengmeng.
"What?" Lu Dan asked.
"It's Erha and Mike," Wang Mengmeng said incoherently eagerly, "There is no room for them, and the phone is unreachable." Hurry up, monitor!"
Incomplete sentences, but Lu Dan was able to understand them instantly.
He hurried over to the computer and pulled up the surveillance footage.
"I think," Lu Dan said, "we need to call the police." ”
Some of the employees of Huafeng International Hotel take turns in two large shifts. The four departments of the front office, the concierge, the housekeeping department and the security department start at 9 p.m. every night.
The doorman's little brother Li Ang, who had just gotten off work, changed his clothes, and as soon as he walked out of the hotel, he was stopped by two people.
One, a police officer in uniform, and the other is Lu Dan, the feared "iceberg director" of Huafeng International Hotel.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, good evening. Li Ang greeted Lu Dan with a smile, and after looking at the police uncle who was standing next to Lu Dan, the corners of his mouth were a little stiff.
"What are the consequences of illegally detaining guests, have you ever thought about it?" Lu Dan got straight to the point, without the slightest intention of wasting time in a roundabout.
The police uncle was surprised by Lu Dan's directness, and couldn't help but glance at Lu Dan.
"Mr. Lu is joking, detaining guests or something, I will never do this kind of thing in my life. Li Ang's smile was already a little nervous, and the sweat on his forehead seeped down instantly.
"Li Ang, a 28-year-old native of M City, S Province, used to live in the Green Forest Community of H City, and later moved to Shantiya County, where he lived in the same community as Ms. Michael, who was threatened by you. Uncle Policeman's calm voice made Li Ang's shoulders tremble slightly.
"You studied martial arts when you were young, and although you can't use one as ten, you have the ability to attack. Frequent delivery of couriers for hotel guests gives you the convenience of your position, so you can send couriers to Ms. Michael with battered animals. ”
"This ...... Where is this?" looked at Leon as if he was a little puzzled.
"We have seen from the extracted surveillance footage that you supported those two guests, where are they now?" asked the policeman, looking directly into Leon's eyes.
