Chapter 198: The Speakeasy

The bound palm was still dripping with cold sweat. After making sure that the voices outside were far away, Ji Nuan carefully turned the folding knife that had been in his palm for a long time.

It turned out that the five million check she signed was not completely useless. The person who tied her hand did have some skills in tying the rope on her hand, and it was indeed a bit of morality.

She turned her wrists hard, and gradually opened a little space between her hands. Then she slowly opened the folding knife, remembering what the man said before, and put the sharp blade on the rope between the index and middle fingers. Cut back and forth vigorously.

Her hands were tied, and her movements were really inconvenient. It took a lot of time and a lot of strength for her to do these movements. At this moment, she was covered in sweat again, and the strength of cutting the rope was not enough. Sharpen with a knife edge.

After grinding for more than two minutes, the rope broke. She still did not dare to relax. She carefully used the ingenious knots on the rope to untie the rope completely, and her hands were free again. Quickly tore off the tape on the mouth.

Her mouth was probably torn red now. She endured the pain, held her breath, and bent down with a knife to cut the rope on her feet.

Her whole body was finally free, and she stood up a little bit carefully. Her legs and feet were already tied and numb. She staggered lightly and walked slowly to the door, listening to the movement outside.

It seems that these people are sure that she can't escape at all, and there is no manpower outside to be on duty.

When she was brought in just now, 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 up the stairs was a hidden secret door in the corner of the bar that was blocked by speakers.

Ji Nuan tried to push the door and found that the door was locked, no wonder no one was watching outside.

She hurriedly raised her hand and took off a thin black hairpin pinned to the top of her hair. In the past two lives, perhaps only at this moment can she thank those embarrassed escape experiences in the previous life. Everything in the past life has taught her a lot. , at least this kind of simple door is not a door lock like a security door, she can open it after a while.

Ji Nuan tentatively put the hairpin in the keyhole facing the inside of the doorknob, and poked the thin metal needle under the hairpin into it. Because he didn't dare to make too much noise, he could only be careful. Tried 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, and Ji Nuan's anxiety is getting heavier and heavier. Whenever she hears footsteps coming from outside, she will be startled and turn around to hide behind the door. The posture, back and forth, I don't know how many times, finally, the hairpin found its place in the keyhole, the door lock was opened with a low sound, she let out a sigh of relief, put the hairpin back, and opened the door handle.

As soon as the door opened, the deafening roar that belonged to the bar hit the ear instantly.

Ji Nuan stuck her head out, observed the surroundings, then quietly closed the door, leaned against the wall, lowered her head, tried her best not to be photographed by the surveillance cameras in the corner, and finally walked to the stairs, and suddenly saw someone over there. Approaching, she was startled, she turned around suddenly and saw that the door of the other room next to it didn't seem to be locked. She hurriedly entered that door, leaned her back against the door, her heartbeat pounded, and she listened to the movement outside the door.

The light in the room in front of her was not turned on, but when she opened the door to enter, she saw that the layout of this room is almost the same as the one she was in. It seems that every room in this underground corridor is completely different. It is so.

She is thinking about how to escape. There are people around this bar. I don't know which are the guests and which are the people in the bar. How can she avoid it?

Suddenly, footsteps came from outside the door, getting closer and closer. Hearing those voices, the hairs on Ji Nuan's body stood on end.

The footsteps seemed to be heading towards the room where she was before, and there was a sudden silence inside, which made her feel a little flustered.

as predicted,

As the strange silence came over, there was an angry and lowered voice: "She probably hasn't escaped too far, so I'll look for it right away, she actually has something on her body that can cut the rope? Yes? Which grandson was tied in? Damn it! Go and find it!"

Then, the footsteps outside gradually increased, a little chaotic, and the doors of the surrounding rooms were kicked open one by one.

Ji Nuan frowned, and carefully hid under a black display stand next to her, squatted down, and held her breath.

"Look at every room!" Those footsteps approached, and someone suddenly kicked the door open, and the lights in the room were turned on, just like checking other rooms along the way, glanced at the whole room, and 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 in such a close place, and several men who were big and three were in a hurry to check, and they didn't pay attention to Ji Nuan who was hiding under the table.

Ji Nuan let out a sigh of relief, got out from under the table, listened to the movement outside, ran to the door again, and put her ear against the door.

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 it, instead of staying in the underground corridor, she waited in the door for a while before carefully opening the door, Then slowly walked to the stairs.

Most of the people in this bar are their people, how can she escape?

Going up the stairs, seeing the neon lights in the bar, Ji Nuan bent over, carefully pushed open the door behind the bar speaker, and glanced out, there were all kinds of people outside.

She lowered her head, covered her face with her loose hair, and walked to the side along the corner against the door. When a bartender approached in front, she hurriedly squatted down and hid behind a sofa with a card holder.

He turned to look at the waiter over there again, holding a tray and wine in his hand, and was talking to the waiter next to him. Obviously, the lights were flickering and people couldn't see what was around. The waiter didn't notice Ji Nuan. here.

Ji Nuan turned around, kept a squatting position, and ran to the back of the other sofa. The lights in the bar kept flickering and interweaving. When the lights were dimmed, she jumped over smoothly without any Get anyone's attention.

It wasn't until she walked along the back of these sofas, little by little, to a place where there were fewer people entering, and she looked out, planning to run out just like that.

But this is an underground bar. There are no serious people here, and no one will help her. Ji Nuan rubbed her still aching and numb feet. When she was close to the door, she rushed out directly.
