Ding Manman wanted to escape through the wall, but she was obviously affected by Wu Xia's works and had underestimated the difficulty in doing so.

However, after she found a table and a high stool in the room, she finally managed to overcome her fear of height and stood on them. However, she found that although her hand could touch the wall, her arm wasn't strong enough, so she had to give up.

After being tormented like this, half an hour had already passed, but the situation on the phone did not improve at all. Instead, it had already been warned of the low battery, so if this dragged on, they might not even be able to contact her after exiting the door.

Thinking about it here, Ding Manman lost all confidence, and decided to take the risk, and make the decision for her own fate.

Once again carefully inspecting her surroundings, Ding Manman found that the door was made of wood.

With this plan, once again, Ding Manman wanted to give herself a good beating because she lacked experience in life.

In between, Ding Manman stuffed a few books and newspapers beside the door, and used another book to light a fire to light up a pile of waste paper.

In the process of igniting the fire, Ding Manman had hesitated many times, afraid that it would burn herself, but in the end, she still gritted her teeth and endured. After doing all this, Ding Manman felt her legs tremble a little.

When she had watched the news before, Ding Manman knew how difficult it would be to extinguish the fire.

Although she was unhappy that An Ya did not come to help out after such a long time, she still kept some face, so she hurried back to the kitchen to fetch a bucket of water, preparing to extinguish the fire at any time.

The sky was unfulfilled. All the paper had been burnt, but the wooden door was still motionless. Besides some black burn marks, it was completely unharmed.

In that moment, Ding Manman felt her body going weak, but she forced herself to focus. Looking at the sky again, it was already sunset.

After being idle for so long, for the first time, Ding Manman felt that it would be great if there was someone by her side. She also thought back to the time she was by Zhong Shaoting's side, she would be caught no matter where she went, let alone in a situation like this.

Why couldn't Ding Manman understand? Her close friends and relatives, who had accompanied her for so many years, would always bring harm to her. Yet Zhong Shaoting, the boy who had destroyed her life and tortured and humiliated her, would always protect her.

After taking another deep breath, Ding Manman gathered her energy. She had to go out today! Go find An Ya and ask her if they were good friends, and her parents. Whether it was the company, or the money, or her daughter being more important.

Transforming his grief into strength, Ding Manman once again returned home and decided to give it a try.

This time, Ding Manman had made a huge decision. She removed all of the furniture in the house, all of the furniture in the wardrobe, chairs, tables, were all taken apart, and all of the broken pieces of furniture were thrown out the door.

She did not believe that she could not destroy the wooden door even like this.

Only, while Ding Manman was busy over here, she could not hear any small voices coming from outside. Otherwise, he would definitely stop what she was doing and continue to wait obediently.

Because wood was not as easy to burn as paper, and Ding Manman knew that this was her last chance, she had to be extra careful while sprinkling food oil on the wood to help herself burn.

After such an effort, the fire was finally ignited. Looking at the flames that were growing brighter and brighter, Ding Manman was extremely nervous about whether this mission would succeed or not.

The changes in the flames were extremely strange and varied, and the sparks that burst out from the night sky were especially dazzling.

The exhausted Ding Manman sat in the distance, feeling incomparably warm from being roasted by the flames. It was just like the embrace her mother gave her a long, long time ago, which made her feel extremely comfortable.

After that, Ding Manman saw that the wooden door was finally set ablaze. It looked like there was a lot of hope for him to leave the room, and she felt satisfied.

At this time, a commotion finally came from outside the gate, and the loud noise caused Ding Manman to wake up from her sleep.

"Is it An Ya?" Ding Manman asked curiously, but after hearing all the men's voices outside, she became nervous.

Not knowing if the person outside was a good or bad person, Ding Manman thought that the wooden door was still burning and would definitely be able to endure for a while, so she quickly returned to her room and hid in an unremarkable corner, observing the situation.

Because the sound of the fire was too loud, the few men outside did not hear the cry for help from the inside.

The leading Zhong Shaoting did not listen to the advice of the surrounding people and ignored the thick smoke as he walked forward and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Ding Manman, are you inside!"

Seeing that Zhong Shaoting was about to rush into the fire today, Song Chen pulled him back and said: "You don't want to live, this fire is only burning at the door, maybe Miss Ding found a way to escape, let's not rush."

"Let go of me, this stupid woman. Do you think she can escape by herself? If she doesn't react when I tell her, then something might happen. I must go in and take a look."

After hearing Zhong Shaoting speak badly of Ding Manman, he anxiously rushed in.

Song Chen had a very good impression of Ding Manman, but he definitely did not want Zhong Shaoting to just do things like this, even with his life on the line.

"Calm down, don't do anything stupid. Miss Ding might be fine inside, waiting for you to go in and make a fool of yourself." Song Chen was worried that Zhong Shaoting would lose his mind, so he came up with this reason.

However, the moment Zhong Shaoting heard these words, he couldn't help but think of what had happened previously. At that time, Ding Manman had always wanted to escape in a restless manner, and there was one time when her crafty smile, which happened to be released after her success, had coincidentally been caught and filmed, leaving a very deep impression on.

"Okay, go find the ladder. I'll wait for you here."

Zhong Shaoting ordered Song Chen. Looking at the blazing flames at the entrance, he couldn't help but frown.

After Ding Manman left, Zhong Shaoting had also thought of finding her again. He didn't know why, but he felt that the closer the two of them got to him, the more at ease they felt.

However, after having a discussion with the Ding Family, he was still rejected. He dejectedly returned to the city where he lived, taking care of the company's affairs every day or going out late to play with some friends.

It was clearly the same work and rest schedule as before, but his heart seemed to be unable to return. He, who was always impatient, finally decided to take a look at Ding Manman, even if it was just a glance, it seemed to be able to resolve the endless worry in his heart.

What Zhong Shaoting did not expect was that after he investigated Ding Manman's location and rushed over, he found that there was a new wall constructed out of cement and there was even a signal screensaver purposely placed near the wall.
