Chapter 115 -115: The Laughter Behind
“The person outside, seems to have disguised their voice?”
Fang Xiaocao was startled and muttered to herself.
This voice sounded very awkward.
As if it had been deliberately disguised.
Fang Xiaocao narrowed her eyes and stared intently at the glass on the escape exit door, tiptoeing slowly backward.
Fang Xiaocao had a premonition that the person outside would break into the stairwell.
...
Following the stairs from the first to the second floor, at the landing between the two flights, Fang Xiaocao crouched on the platform, clutching a Flying Dagger in her hand, listening intently for any noise from below.
The door to the emergency staircase was ajar.
Apart from someone petite, to enter, someone would need to push the door, and pushing it would make a noise.
Thirty seconds later!
“Creak~”
The emergency door downstairs was pushed open.
“Young man, what are you doing?”
“If you’re not taking the elevator, I’m not going to wait for you.”
Along with the sound of the door being opened, the old lady’s voice entered Fang Xiaocao’s ears.
“It really is the person tailing me!”
Fang Xiaocao muttered inwardly.
Fang Xiaocao continued to listen intently, waiting for the next move of her stalker.
“Here it comes, here it comes!”
“Sorry to have kept you waiting, Auntie.”
“I just heard something in here, thought it was my cat that had run away.”
That androgynous voice reached Fang Xiaocao’s ears.
“Have they given up?”
Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaocao thought to herself.
“Creak~”
The sound of the door closing came, but Fang Xiaocao did not relax her guard.
Who knows if this was a smoke grenade used by the stalker to confuse her.
Maybe the person didn’t leave at all and was waiting for her downstairs.
Fang Xiaocao stood up and hurried upstairs.
Racing up the half-flight of stairs, she reached the second floor.
Fang Xiaocao hesitated for a moment, then quickly went up again.
She reached the half-platform between the second and third floors.
The half-flight of stairs was Fang Xiaocao’s speed limit.
If she went beyond a half-flight, she couldn’t guarantee she’d be faster than the elevator.
Of course…
What Fang Xiaocao was doing was also very dangerous.
If the person hadn’t stayed on the second floor as she predicted, had entered the emergency stairs, and gone to the half-flight looking for her, but instead had gone straight to the third floor and come down to block her, that would be troublesome.
The half-flight of stairs was a dangerous distance.
If the person had a gun, Fang Xiaocao would be in big trouble.
Fang Xiaocao crouched on the half-platform between the second and third floors, listening intently, waiting for the sound of the door being pushed that she anticipated.
“Creak~”
Not disappointing Fang Xiaocao, the sound of the door being pushed indeed came as she had predicted.
“It’s coming!”
Fang Xiaocao exclaimed in her heart.
Excitement even flashed in her eyes.
Suddenly, Fang Xiaocao froze.
In an instant, she felt a chill to the bone!
Bounding off the ground, she quickly descended the stairs.
The sound of the door opening just now had come from behind her.
The person wasn’t on the second floor but on the third!
Based on the timing, that person…
Was almost right behind her!
From behind came a “hee hee” giggle.
The sound was ghostly, the voice devilish!
It made Fang Xiaocao’s skin crawl.
Too frightening!
Fang Xiaocao didn’t dare look back, fearing she’d see a face with ghastly green features and pointed fangs.
Running frantically, Fang Xiaocao didn’t dare go to the second floor.
Instead, she ran straight to the first floor, burst out of the emergency staircase, through the unit door, and headed straight for the SUV.
When she got to the car, Fang Xiaocao was about to open the door when her movement suddenly froze.
Fang Xiaocao thought of the method Tom used to assassinate her.
“Bomb!”
“Could there be a bomb in the car?”
A thought flashed through Fang Xiaocao’s mind.
Thinking of bombs, alarms went off in Fang Xiaocao’s heart.
She immediately abandoned the SUV and ran towards the exit of the residential community.
Exercising more has no downsides!
Better than losing your life!
This was a maxim Fang Xiaocao firmly believed in.
Fang Xiaocao dared not look back.
She just buried her head and ran forward!
Whoever was behind her was a foe, not a friend!
Which allies would frighten someone for fun?
Fang Xiaocao still had decent stamina. The distance from the apartment block to the community gate was a full kilometer, yet she managed to run out of the community in one go.
As she burst out of the community, Fang Xiaocao flashed by and rushed into a taxi that had just stopped.
Under the surprised gaze of the driver, she closed the car door.
“Driver, to the municipal police station!”
“I’ve been scammed…”
“In a hurry… to report it and freeze my account,” Fang Xiaocao said, gasping for breath.
Hearing Fang Xiaocao’s words, the words to rush the passenger that the driver had almost said were swallowed back, and he floored the accelerator, sending the taxi shooting out like an arrow.
Only after the taxi started did Fang Xiaocao let out a sigh of relief, looking through the car window towards the entrance of the community.
A person wearing a duckbill cap and of a slim build was standing at the community gate, gazing in the direction where the taxi was leaving.
Looking at the duckbill cap, Fang Xiaocao narrowed her eyes and thought to herself, “This guy must be the tracker who’s been playing with me in the stairwell.”
Fang Xiaocao stared intently at the tracker, trying hard to imprint the person’s figure into her mind.
The person following her was a woman.
The androgynous voice was a disguise!
“Could it be Han Xue?” Fang Xiaocao muttered to herself.
“If it’s her, how did she find me?”
“A coincidence or something, that’s too far-fetched.”
Fang Xiaocao didn’t believe it could be that coincidental.
“Han Xue must have accomplices!”
“And…”
“This accomplice might have been following me all along!”
Thinking this, Fang Xiaocao felt a jolt of fear.
This chapt𝒆r is updated by frёewebηovel.cѳm.
This was the most logical inference, the only possibility for Han Xue to have found her so precisely immediately after escaping.
“Who could Han Xue’s accomplice be?”
Fang Xiaocao fell into deep thought.
This person was quite skilled!
Lately, Fang Xiaocao had been on high alert, very cautious, yet she hadn’t noticed that she was being followed at all.
If Han Xue hadn’t exposed herself, Fang Xiaocao wouldn’t have realized it even now.
“This person is kind of scary…”
Fang Xiaocao muttered to herself.
To follow her so silently without giving anything away, just the thought was frightening to Fang Xiaocao.
The person responsible for following her didn’t just follow her casually, they even knew about the car she had only rented for a couple of hours. How closely must they have been tracking her?
It was practically step by step, almost to the point of breathing down her neck, and she hadn’t noticed anything amiss.
Thinking about it sent shivers down Fang Xiaocao’s spine.
“Beauty, we’re at the municipal police station!”
At that moment, the voice of the driver brought Fang Xiaocao back from her thoughts to reality.
“Ah?”
Fang Xiaocao was stunned and didn’t catch on immediately.
“Oh, I’ll scan the code for you!”
Having come to her senses, Fang Xiaocao took out her phone, paid the fare, pushed open the taxi door, and walked quickly towards the police station.
As she walked, Fang Xiaocao still occasionally looked back to see if there was anyone suspicious following her.
Even if the person in the duckbill cap hadn’t followed her, could her accomplice, who was hiding in the shadows, have silently followed her already?
The thought of always being watched from the shadows, scrutinized from some corner, sent a chill throughout Fang Xiaocao’s body.
Unknowingly, it seemed she had exposed a lot.
This was not good news!
Even, it was very dangerous!
