Chapter 739: Filled with Doubts (1)
Xu Weilai had not much time for further thought as they were almost near the ground.
Serious injury was definitely unavoidable at the speed of their fall. It would be an ugly death for both of them.
She might as well stayed up there and put up a fight with Aunt Bai. Wasn’t he purposely dragging her to her death right now?
The fall unexpectedly stopped when they reached a window on the second floor. Only then did Xu Weilai realised that the man had an extremely thin wire attached to his body. He should have fixed the other end of the wire somewhere on the third floor. That explained why he dared to jump down without hesitation.
However, she did not have any wire from her body. She could only rely on the man’s hold on her waist, and her own hold on his body to support herself. Even though the man’s fall pulled to a stop by the steel wire, her body was slowly being pulled away from him by the gravity.
“Grab the window and jump in.” The man’s words rang with agility and with clear direction.
Xu Weilai did as he said. Her life was precious to her.
She had excellent agility too, trained from her days as news reporter, a job where ability to run and climb is crucial when she needed to escape. It was a piece of cake for her to jump through the window.
Her hand grabbed the edge of a window that happened to be open. The man supported her with his arm from behind. He even gave her a push when she desperately made her jump through the window.
Xu Weilai landed on the ground in the room smoothly.
She dusted her palm and stood up. Then she turned around to give the man a helping hand as he was her saviour and she could not bear to ignore him and escaped alone.
But when she turned around and looked out of the window, there was only a vast dark night sky. The man was nowhere to be seen.
Xu Weilai stood frozen on the spot and blinked a few times.
Where was he?
She hurriedly leaned her entire body on the windowsill and looked downstairs, but she could find no one at the bottom either. Her eyes continued to search for him, but still found nothing.
Did he disappear into thin air or was it just a dream? Was she actually still in a deep sleep?
Xu Weilai raised her hand and gave herself a hard blow on her head. The pain hit her instantly. She inhaled slightly, then gently rubbed her head.
If she felt the pain, it was indeed real.
Her heartbeat was still rapid, and her back drenched in sweat from nervousness. This was enough proof that everything that happened was real.
Aunt Bai’s presence in Zuo Family Residence was real. A man saved her just now was real too. He should be in no danger, even though she did not know where he disappeared to.
What was the relationship between Aunt Bai and the middle-aged man who was supposedly CEO Zuo? Who was this man and why did he save her? Why was there a lingering sense of familiarity with this saviour of hers?
The flood of information overwhelmed her at the moment.
After she calmed down, she found herself in an empty room, possibly a guest room. It was already past three o’clock in the morning.
She went out from Zuo An’s bedroom around two. Thus, an hour had passed.
She had to go back to the bedroom soonest possible and pretended to be asleep. Even if Aunt Bai found out, she could do anything that would raise any suspicion towards her ownself.
Besides that, she had no good explanation if Zuo An were to wake up and found her missing from the bed.
Xu Weilai opened a crack of the guest room door and took a peek outside the room. She made her way back to Zuo An’s bedroom when she found no one outside in the hallway. She gently opened the door to Zuo An’s room.
