"Ugh!"

Meng Lihua was instantly dumbfounded.

’This creep really did steal my little toy!’

"Heh heh, I forgot you can’t speak."

The creep grabbed Meng Lihua by the hair. "But I have to admit, you really play rough."

Meng Lihua tried to struggle, but it was no use.

SLAP!

The creep raised his hand and slapped Meng Lihua across the face. "Such a cheap woman. If you have needs, you could have just come to me!"

"Mmph..." Meng Lihua wanted to cry, but she had no tears left.

’Why did I have to run into this twisted pervert?!’

"Since you like to play so much, you could have just knocked on my door. Why torture yourself like that?" In front of Meng Lihua, the creep held the small toy in his left hand and a dagger in his right, and began slicing it up as if it were a cucumber.

Meng Lihua couldn’t bear to watch.

’No matter what, I just have to stall for as long as I can!’

With each rise and fall of the creep’s hand, the small toy was reduced to a pile of tiny pieces.

Meng Lihua knew that trying to snatch the dagger from the creep’s hand now would be next to impossible.

Fortunately, he had only taped her mouth shut and hadn’t tied her hands or feet.

’If I can just make a run for one of the rooms and lock the door, I can buy myself at least five minutes of safety.’

’After those five minutes, as long as I haven’t been stabbed, I can figure out a way to stall for another five.’

’By then, Jiang Xinghai should be waking up soon, right?’

"Now, get on your knees!"

Suddenly, the creep brandished the dagger, pointing it at Meng Lihua.

’On my knees?’

Meng Lihua’s mind went blank.

’What else would he want me to do on my knees?’

Of course, she knew exactly what.

Seeing Meng Lihua hesitate, the creep strode forward, grabbed her by the hair, and yanked her toward him.

Meng Lihua used the momentum to give the creep a hard shove, then bolted toward one of the open rooms and locked the door behind her.

"You bitch, open this door!"

Outside, the creep’s face was contorted with fury as he kicked the door relentlessly.

RRRIP!

Wincing in pain, Meng Lihua tore the tape from her mouth and roared at the door, "In your dreams!"

"I’ll only say this once. Open the door now, and I’ll take good care of you. Otherwise..."

The creep seemed to hesitate, as if he hadn’t even figured out what his own threat was.

Meanwhile, Meng Lihua quickly scanned the room, hoping to find a handy "weapon" for self-defense.

But as she looked closer, she saw three motionless bodies!

"AHHH!!!"

Meng Lihua couldn’t believe the creep was also a serial killer. She had just started screaming when she realized—the three bodies weren’t real!

They were made of silicone!

One was a blonde Western woman!

The other two had the faces of local internet celebrities!

The three silicone dolls were laid out on the large bed, all wearing different colored lace...

"That damn pervert!"

An idea instantly struck Meng Lihua. She spotted a strangely shaped whip nearby and grabbed it.

At the same time, the creep’s shouting resumed from outside the door. "You bitch, if you don’t come out right now, I’ll go to your house, grab your daughter, and make you listen to how I torture her!"

He had been wanting to shout that line for a long time.

But with another man lying in Meng Lihua’s house, he hadn’t wanted to take the risk.

"No, don’t! Please! Let me think!"

Hearing that her daughter might be in danger, Meng Lihua was completely stunned.

’What do I do?’

’What am I supposed to do now?!’

’If I go out now, there’s no telling whether I’ll be stabbed or not.’

’But one thing is certain: I will definitely be humiliated and tortured by that creep!’

At this point, she couldn’t worry about how much longer it would take for Jiang Xinghai to wake up. She could only beg, "Give me five minutes! I need to calm down! You calm down for five minutes too! Don’t do anything stupid!"

"To hell with your five minutes!"

The creep had no intention of calming down. He had been planning this for a week; he wasn’t about to miss such a perfect opportunity!

With that, he began ramming the door hard with his shoulder. "Just wait until I get in there! You’re in for it! Open the damn door!"

Whether it was Meng Lihua’s bad luck or the creep’s good luck, the door suddenly burst open.

"HAHAHA..."

The creep was the first to let out a triumphant laugh, but he was greeted by the sharp crack of a whip.

CRACK!

CRACK! CRACK!

After several consecutive lashes, the creep’s glasses were knocked to the floor.

He could only wave his dagger wildly, trying to block the doorway while fumbling on the ground for his glasses.

In that instant, Meng Lihua grabbed one of the silicone dolls and charged at the creep.

CRASH!

The creep was knocked out of the room, and his dagger clattered to the ground. Meng Lihua seized the opportunity and bolted out.

"Trying to run?!"

But the creep reacted instantly. Even with his blurry vision, he could still make out the rough shape of Meng Lihua’s back.

He lunged forward with both hands, grabbing tightly onto Meng Lihua’s legs.

BANG!

Just then, the security door to their apartment, 401, was kicked open from the outside.

His eyes blazing with fury, Jiang Xinghai strode inside.
