She looked at the shadows with tears in her eyes and begged for mercy, "Please, let me go, and I'll tell you the truth now." When the black shadows heard this, they immediately came to their senses and came together. Chen Aili nodded in the direction of her feet and said, "The thing is hidden in the boots, two USB flash drives, one on each side, is the information I got, you can take it out yourself." The four black shadows exchanged glances with each other and surrounded Chen Aili, and two of the big men bent down to untie Chen Aili's feet tied to the iron chair, took off her leather boots, and reached out to look inside.

Chen Aili's frozen feet were suddenly liberated, she took advantage of the fact that the black shadows were focused on her boots, and hurriedly moved her ankles, rubbing her feet against each other to keep warm, and the sensation of her two legs slowly recovered.

"Smack!" The black shadow slapped Chen Aili in the face, "What's the USB flash drive, you lie to us!" Chen Aili was beaten so much that she cried aggrievedly: "I really didn't lie to you, you can touch a USB flash drive in the back of the boot on your left foot." Hearing this, the black shadow hurriedly touched the back of the mezzanine with his thick fingers, as if there was really a hard little thing. They hurriedly used sharp knives to cut through the thick layer of cowhide, and sure enough, a small USB flash drive appeared. The Shadows are glad that they have finally gained something. They were a little relaxed.

The shadows picked up their right boots again and went to the same location to look for them, and several of them touched them again and again, but they didn't touch anything. "What are you doing? There is no USB flash drive in these boots! ”

"You didn't ask me where the boot on my right foot was hidden?" Chen Aili looked at them pitifully with frightened eyes and said.

"Where are you hiding?!" The shadows asked menacingly.

"It's in the palm of your shoe, you have to put your hand flat into it to take it out, you can't use too much force, this USB flash drive is very thin and small, and it's easy to scratch with a knife." Chen Aili instructed.

This time the four big men were so busy that their thick fingers couldn't reach in, or they couldn't move after entering. They cut the upper with a sharp knife, but the fingers were still inconvenient because the leather was too hard. One of the black shadows pointed at Chen Aili and said, your fingers are thin, you come to find it.

Right in the middle! Chen Aili's hands have been handcuffed to the iron chair for several hours at this time, and her fingers have long been frozen and she can't obey the call. She asked for some hot water, otherwise she couldn't move her fingers. The shadows thought for a moment and agreed. They took a cup of hot water and poured it into Chen Aili's mouth.

After a cup of hot water, Chen Aili eased up. A dark figure took the boot on her right foot and brought it to her hands, which were still cuffed behind her back, and asked her to reach into the boot and pull out the USB stick from the soles of the shoes. Chen Aili cooperated and put her hand into the boot, pretending to pick at the layers of skin stuck to the soles of her shoes very hard. Her wrists were bloodied from the handcuffs, her fingernails were torn off, and her hands were covered in blood. It took about 10 minutes, and she finally took out the USB flash drive at the urging of the black shadows.

Chen Aili breathed a sigh of relief, because she also took out a miniature master key. And those two USB sticks are worthless. The two black shadows quickly put away the USB flash drive and went to George to receive credit, and the remaining two black shadows were also happy with tonight's harvest. They slapped Chen Aili's face wickedly and turned to get their coffee. It was too late, it was too late, Chen Aili, who had already secretly untied the handcuffs, took advantage of their turnaround to quickly pull out the dagger on the black shadow's waist and stab him in the throat the moment he turned around. The huge black shadow didn't even have time to "snort" before it fell.

Seeing this, another black shadow hurriedly pulled out a gun, and Chen Aili picked up the iron chair and threw it at him, "Bang", the iron chair knocked down the black shadow and smashed a drain cup on the table. The black shadow screamed and fell bloodied, motionless.

Although it was in the basement, in this silent cold night, this series of sounds still seemed very harsh, and the guards were alarmed. The outdoor lights were all on; There were many footsteps running towards it; The sound of pulling the bolt, the sound of hurried talking, etc. Chen Aili tore off a piece of cloth from the black shadow and wrapped it around her feet; Putting on one of their coats, they took off the pistol daggers of the two shadows and rushed out the door.

But where to run? It's icy and snowy outside, the field is empty, the lights are on as if it were day, and there are well-trained guards with weapons everywhere. She decisively decided that she should run into the castle, find a hiding place first, and then break through each one.

26 The mercy of Lady Luck

This nearly 300-year-old castle is very old, with a complex internal structure, the main building is in an irregular geometric shape, the exterior walls are still made of ancient granite, and the interior decoration retains the classic lattice frescoed ceiling, but also adds many modern elements. In addition to the basement, the castle has a small vineyard behind it, and the family cemetery of the previous owner.

But Chen Aili didn't know so much, when she rushed up the stairs in the basement, there were four paths in front of her. One leads to an outdoor plaza, which doesn't work; A spiraling cast-iron parapet, old and supposed to lead to a bell tower with a Gothic spire, "That's a dead end, I don't want to jump." Chen Aili thought to herself.

There were two left, one leading to the underground parking lot, which was already brightly lit and full of cameras, and she heard the sound of the car starting, no. There is only one left, covered with ornate marble, which should lead to the inner living quarters and rooms of the castle, and this path is taken.

She quickly smashed all the cameras in the basement doorway, turned and rushed into the ornate hallway. The hallway was still quiet, and the thick curtains on the windows temporarily blocked the lights outside. The people here are still asleep, and the dim lamps are glowing faintly. Chen Aili had strips of cloth wrapped around her feet, and tiptoed open a door, it was the kitchen! She found water and bread sausages and quickly ate a few bites, put the rest in her pocket, and took a bag of pepper. This kind of conventional "anti-wolf hidden weapon" may be used when it will be used.

Chen Aili leaned against the wall and quietly walked to the inside of the castle. The castle has more than thirty bedrooms, two kitchens, a wine cellar and many dark corners, and the corridors are also twisting and turning, like a labyrinth. She wanted to find a corner where there were no cameras and it was easy to be overlooked, so that she could get in touch with the outside world as soon as possible.

With the faint light, she ascended the staircase reserved for staff to a large landing on the second floor. The large platform is at the back of the castle and provides direct access to the small cemetery on the hillside behind the castle. Chen Aili could faintly see some crosses and tombstones in the woods in the distance. She climbed over the parapet of the platform and down against the protruding granite façade.
