"This call came at the wrong time."

As I was waiting for Wandering to return and apply the medicine, I heard Director Zhang's familiar voice from the corridor outside. I panicked, and the first thought that came to my mind was to run away.

However, the rope that Wandering had tied for me wasn't tight enough. When I was struggling just now, I was already pretty much off. Thus, it was very easy for me to get off the bed. It was just that the knife cut into my thigh, and it still made me feel pain.

Upon closer inspection, one could still see bloodstains.

Resisting the pain, I limped to the other side of the balcony and crouched down to hide. If CEO Zhang were to see me like this, it would be hard for him to escape.

Furthermore, Director Zhang had always been harboring malicious intentions towards me. Wandering had found him to frame me, so it was not as if he hadn't thought about it.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh at myself. This so-called sisterhood, from start to finish, seemed to me to be the only one who viewed it with utmost importance.

"Ah Yun, are you awake? I'm here, you've been waiting. "

When CEO Zhang opened the door and walked in, he opened with a provocative remark. Coupled with his duckling voice, this empty room sounded very unpleasant and made me feel even more disgusted.

But I didn't dare to go out. I crouched on the balcony outside the room and held my breath, racking my brains as I tried to think of a way to draw away General Zhang's gaze so that I could safely escape.

"Ah Yun?"

I tried my best to think about it, but was unable to pay attention to what was going on in the room. In the end, I was summoned back to reality by CEO Zhang's loud shout.

Through the cracks in the transparent glass window, I watched Director Zhang walk to the bed and flip open the bedsheets. The empty scene on the bed made his face quickly darken as he cursed, "Where are the people? That bitch Piao Piao is clearly playing with me!"

From my side, the furious CEO Zhang looked very scary and his voice was also very loud.

I took a deep breath and heard his name coming out of his mouth, and my heart went cold again.

"Wandering, are you messing with me? I just picked up a phone and went to do some work, and you took him away? "What, do you want to default on this deal?"

I squatted on the balcony, not too far from the bed. Furthermore, the window had not been closed the entire time, and Director Zhang's voice was also loud. Thus, even if I didn't listen carefully, I could still hear every single word that Chairman Zhang was saying.

The word 'trade' was particularly harsh to me. As things stood, what was the use of having fantasies about floating in the air? She had already secretly sold me to CEO Zhang. The concern she had just shown might have been just a little bit of guilt towards me.

When CEO Zhang comes, she will eventually give me up for her own benefits.

Thinking of this, I bitterly smiled in my heart. I knew that there wouldn't be any good results if I stayed here any longer. I turned my head to survey my surroundings and tried to find a way to slip away.

The floor here isn't very high, but my legs are injured. If I were to jump down from here, even if I didn't die, I would die.

I had no choice but to give up the idea of jumping off a building to survive. Looking around, I realised that the balcony of every room here was very close to each other. As long as I jumped onto the edge of the wall, I could jump to another room with a single big step.

"Fine, I'll give you three minutes to come over and explain to me why A Yun ran away. It's best if you can catch her for me, otherwise, don't blame me when I don't care for the fairer sex."

Just as I was about to get up and jump onto another balcony to leave, I heard Director Zhang's threatening words. I felt a little uncomfortable, but I knew that if I continued to stay here, I would really die when I reach the top.

Thus, I did not dare to delay at all. I calmed myself down a little and turned around to look at the situation of Chairman Zhang, only to discover that he had walked to the end of the guest sofa to sit down, smoking happily. I heaved a sigh of relief in my heart, endured the pain in my thigh, and forcefully jumped onto the balcony.

However, the injury on my leg was too severe, and with a jump like that, my wounds started to ache. Unable to hold on any longer, I fell to the ground and shattered a flower pot. With a crisp "pa da" sound, dirt and flowers scattered all over the ground.

I secretly took in a breath of cold air, but I didn't dare to shout out loud, afraid that the action of breaking the flower pot would alarm the CEO Zhang next door.

It was precisely because of this that I didn't care about the pain all over my body. I looked back at the room where CEO Zhang was, and found it to be as calm as usual. There wasn't even a shadow of my body.

After a long while, I recovered and thought about escaping from this room. I struggled to stand up, ignoring the pain in my body.

"What are you doing?"

When I finally stood up, I was wondering if I should clean up the mess before me. A familiar voice came from behind me, almost scaring my soul out of my body.

I turned around to look at the person who had just arrived. I couldn't help but be stunned, and felt even more helpless and speechless at the bottom of my heart. What did he mean by 'enemies are narrow paths'?

"Director Li!"

I really don't know what I can say to Li Tianyi at a time like this. But now that I've raised my head and seen him like this, it would be hard for me to ignore Li Tianyi even if I wanted to.

"What's the matter with you?"

Li Tianyi nodded his head. His face no longer had the expression of doubt from the start, but upon seeing my miserable appearance, he indifferently asked.

"Nothing much, I'm just a fugitive."

Although I know that this matter cannot be blamed on Li Tianyi, I still have a bit of resentment in my heart when I think about how there will be estrangement between me and Wandering, even to the point of me falling into the trap of being drugged, all because of him.

"Escape?"

Li Tianyi wasn't clear about everything, but upon hearing my reply, he slightly raised his eyebrows, as if he was quite interested.

I looked back at him. Although I didn't see any trace of despise in his eyes, for some reason, I still felt uncomfortable when I saw his attitude.

"Aren't you just here to accompany me? Why are you running? What's there to run away from? "

Li Tianyi's thin lips slightly parted, his expression was indifferent as usual. The tone in which he asked this question was exactly the same as when he asked how the weather was today.

I couldn't guess what he was thinking. I could only see him standing under the moonlight, his eyes gazing into the distance. The moment the gentle wind blew past, I felt that Li Tiangyi wasn't as glorious as he seemed on the surface.

"You don't understand."

I shook my dizzy head, thinking that I must have gone crazy to have such an impression of Li Tianyi.
