CHAPTER 24: DAMN IT, YOU STAND STILL FOR ME.

Father’s voice was already trembling: "Sir!"

The aura grew stronger and stronger, so strong that it made Tang Yanqing’s heart race.

No, what made him so tense was not the suspect, but the inexplicable aura that had joined from the hall. It was especially apparent on this Father, evidently, she had appeared by Father’s side, perhaps even Father had touched her...

How did she show up here? And how did she disappear together from this door?

He tilted his head, clearly smiling, but it made that Father shudder with a shiver.

Tang Yanqing leisurely traced the carvings on the door with his fingers: "How about we make a deal: you open this door for me; I’ll take a look inside, then leave without checking elsewhere."

The wooden door was very old, the carving had wood splinters where some of the wood had split. He unobtrusively plucked a hair from those splinters. He lightly sniffed it at the tip of his nose, his long eyes suddenly knitting tight.

She was here, he was certain!

He then smiled, walked over to pat Father’s shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Don’t say no to me, and don’t try to offend me, or I guarantee you’ll have inspections ten times a day until all your guests are too scared to come by again. Don’t do anything illegal either, otherwise, I’ll hold onto you relentlessly."

After speaking, he walked back to the door, leisurely stroking the door panel again: "Do you open it or not?"

Father was like a trapped beast, taking a deep breath for a long time before gritting his teeth and taking out the keys to the door.

.

With this sound, Shi Nian and Nisha inside heard it. Nisha was instantly like a bird startled by a bowstring, looking at Shi Nian in despair: "The police are here, what should I do? I can’t go to jail..."

Shi Nian gritted her teeth, quickly surveying the surroundings. Her gaze finally fixed on the window. The windowsill was very high, with opaque stained glass. Shi Nian picked up a chair nearby and smashed it hard against the window. With a crash, Shi Nian lifted Nisha onto her shoulder: "Run, Nisha, run!"

Nisha, like a frightened little rabbit, glanced back at her and then despairingly jumped out the window. Shi Nian climbed onto the windowsill herself, as the door was already being opened.

There was no time for hesitation, so she too jumped down from the windowsill and started to sprint.

.

When the door opened, Tang Yanqing managed to catch a glimpse of the hem of a skirt before the person vanished.

Tang Yanqing cursed: "Damn it!" and shoved Father aside, leaping onto the windowsill and jumping out, shouting loudly: "Don’t run, damn it, stop!"

Shi Nian heard this and thought: Don’t run? In your dreams!

She glanced at Nisha’s retreating back, then suddenly turned around, waving towards Tang Yanqing’s direction: "Hey, I’m here, come get me!" and then sprinted off in the opposite direction from Nisha.

This was the unfamiliar M Country, Nisha had no identity and had a past record of selling drugs. If caught by the police, she might be treated unfairly. For now, she could only help Nisha escape, find a chance to ask her questions after they get away.

She didn’t know if her "enticement" was too successful, or if the detective was wearing sunglasses in the dark and couldn’t see clearly, but she succeeded—the detective didn’t even look in Nisha’s escape direction, simply chasing after her all the way.

[Mr. Tang’s sense of touch and smell is so sharp for a reason, which will be revealed to everyone later.]
