Chapter 198: Speakeasy
The palms of the bound hands were always dripping with cold sweat, and after making sure that the sound outside was far away, Ji Nuan carefully turned the folding knife that had been in the palm of his hand for a long time in a direction.
It turned out that she signed the check for five million was not completely useless, and the man who tied her hand did tie the rope in her hand with some skill, and it was indeed a moral statement.
She turned her wrist hard, and gradually a little space really broke between her hands, and then she slowly opened the folding knife, remembering what the person had said before, and cut the sharp blade back and forth on the rope between the index and middle fingers.
Her hands were tied, and her movements were really inconvenient, and she had already spent a lot of time and a lot of strength on these movements, and at this time there was another layer of sweat on her body, and the strength of cutting the rope could not be used, so she could only sharpen it with a little bit with the blade.
After grinding for more than two minutes, the rope broke, she still didn't dare to relax, carefully bit by bit by the very clever knot buckle tied on the rope, the rope was completely untied, and as soon as her hands were free, she quickly tore off the adhesive strip on her mouth.
Her mouth was probably torn red by now, and she endured the pain, held her breath, and bent down to cut the rope on her foot with a knife.
When her whole body was finally free, she stood up cautiously, her legs and feet were already numb from being tied, and she staggered to the door with light feet, listening to the movement outside.
It seems that these people are sure that she can't escape at all, and there are no manpower outside to guard it.
When she was brought in, she knew that there was a very narrow and dimly lit corridor outside, and there was a staircase at the end of the corridor, and when she went up the staircase, there was a hidden secret door in the corner of the bar that was blocked by a sound.
Ji Nuan tried to push the door and found that the door was locked, no wonder there was no one guarding outside.
She hurriedly raised her hand and took off a thin black hairpin pinned to the top of her hair, before and after two lives, maybe she can only thank the embarrassing escape experience in her previous life at this moment, everything in her previous life has taught her a lot, at least this simple door, not a door lock like an anti-theft door, she can open it with a little time.
Ji Nuan tentatively put the hairpin in the keyhole facing the inside of the doorknob, and poked the thinner metal needle at the bottom of the hairpin into it, because he didn't dare to make too much noise, so he could only carefully try back and forth in the keyhole a few times.
This basement is just a simple wooden door, and the lock is also a very simple single lock.
Time is passing little by little, Ji Nuan's anxiety is getting heavier and heavier, she even hears footsteps outside, she will hold the hairpin in surprise and turn around to hide behind the door to make a defensive gesture, I don't know how many times I go back and forth, finally, the hairpin found its place in the keyhole, the sound of the door lock opening was very low, she exhaled lightly, pinned the hairpin back on, and opened the doorknob.
As soon as the door opened, the deafening roar that belonged to the bar instantly screeched.
Ji Nuan poked her head out, observed the surroundings, and then quietly closed the door, leaned against the wall, lowered her head, tried her best not to be photographed by the surveillance in the corner, and finally walked to the staircase, and suddenly saw someone approaching over there, she was startled, and suddenly turned around and saw that the door of the other room next to her didn't seem to be locked, and hurriedly entered the door directly, leaning against the door, her heart beat again, and listened to the movement outside the door.
The room in front of her was not lit, but a hurried glance at the room she had just opened the door to enter, and it was almost the same as the one she had just been in, and it seemed that every room in this underground corridor was like this.
She was thinking about how to escape, there were people all around the bar, I don't know which ones were the guests and which were the people in the bar, how could she avoid them?
Suddenly there were footsteps outside the door, getting closer and closer, listening to those voices, the hairs around Ji Nuan's body stood on end.
The footsteps seemed to go to the room she had been in, and there was a sudden silence in it, which made her feel a little panicked.
Sure enough, with that strange silence, then there was a voice that was suppressed with anger: "The person should not have fled too far, go look for it immediately, she actually brought something that can cut the rope? Which grandson tied it in? Mom! Find it!"
Then, the footsteps outside gradually increased, and there was some confusion, and the doors of the surrounding rooms were kicked open one by one.
Ji Nuan frowned, carefully hid under a black shelf next to him, squatted down, and held his breath.
"Look at every room!" the footsteps approached, and suddenly someone kicked the door open, and the light in the room was turned on, as if he had been inspecting other rooms along the way, and he glanced at the whole room hurriedly, then turned off the lights again, closed the door, and went to check the other rooms.
They probably didn't expect Ji Nuan to hide so close, and a few men who were five big and three thick were in a hurry to check, and they didn't pay attention to Ji Nuan who hid under the table.
Ji Nuan exhaled lightly, got out from under the table, listened to the movement outside, and then ran to the door again, putting his ear to the door.
Now she didn't know what time it was, but she heard the footsteps of those people walking away, as if she had gone out to look for them, and did not stay in the underground corridor, she waited in the door for a while, and then carefully opened the door, and then slowly walked to the staircase.
Most of the people in this bar were theirs, how was she going to get out?
went up the stairs and saw the neon lights in the bar, Ji Nuan bent over, carefully pushed open the door behind the bar stereo, and looked out, there were all kinds of people outside.
She lowered her head, covered her face with her hair that was scattered and walked along the corner to the outside of the door, crouching down and hiding behind a couch with a card bag as the waiter from the bar approached.
Then he turned his eyes to look at the waiter over there, holding a tray and wine in his hand, and was talking to the waiter next to him, obviously the lights here were flickering and making people unable to see the things around him, and the waiter didn't notice Ji Nuan's side.
Ji Nuan turned around, kept a squatting position, and ran behind the other sofa in front of her, the lights in the bar kept flickering and intertwining, and when the lights on this side dimmed, she jumped over smoothly without attracting anyone's attention.
It wasn't until she walked along the back of these couches, little by little, that she looked out, intending to run out in a fit of rage.
But this is a speakeasy, there are no serious people here, and no one will help her, Ji Nuan rubbed her feet, which were still a little sore and numb, and took advantage of the fact that when the lights dimmed again, her steps accelerated, and seeing that she was close to the door, she rushed out directly.
