The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life-Chapter 1305 - 503: [Gray] (2)

But her initial idea was just to add some sense of ceremony, so she dressed up a bit.

After all, in her plan, this was the moment for her great revenge, letting that man perish in the flames when he was smug with success.

"This is your ball, but it’s also my carnival."

Xuelan even had her Instagram message edited in advance, just waiting to click send at the moment the fire blazed up.

But she couldn’t figure out why, at the last moment, everything fell apart miserably.

However, at this moment, Xuelan had no time to worry, because she heard over the phone that the man’s subordinates were on their way to this building, and all she wanted was to escape faster, to get out before the building was completely surrounded.

She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but Xuelan always felt that there were footsteps in the staircase behind her, as if someone had been chasing her all along.

What made Xuelan a bit desperate was that this building was just too tall...

She didn’t dare to take the elevator, she could only run down the stairwell, but with more than 50 floors, there seemed to be no end in sight.

Finally, in her frantic running, she twisted her ankle on her high heels and stumbled, screaming, down the stairs.

Pain assaulted her, and the dizziness from the fall made it hard for Xuelan to get up for a long while, until a hand wearing a white glove reached out to pull her up.

"Thank you..."

Her upbringing as one from a prominent family made Xuelan instinctively express her gratitude, but then she realized something was wrong and froze on the spot.

With some difficulty, Xuelan looked up and saw a young man in the gloom, wearing a formal suit, his features unremarkable, just continuously scrutinizing her, as if trying to confirm something.

"You..."

A moment later, before the frightened Xuelan could say anything, the man had already taken out his phone and dialed a video call.

The call connected quickly, and the man pulled Xuelan with one hand while turning the screen toward her, in the only light amidst the darkness, disheveled and extremely embarrassed, Xuelan faced that man for the first time across the electronic screen.

In the screen, Zhou Wang held a glass of champagne, his eyes slightly curious, as if he wanted to see for himself what this woman, who had schemed to murder him more than once, actually looked like.

And looking at the impeccably dressed Zhou Wang, even though she was already restrained, Xuelan’s eyes still shot out beams of hatred.

"Zhou Wang!"

Xuelan screamed, "Don’t be too smug, you think catching me will accomplish anything? I’ll get out of jail someday... And don’t think I have no friends or family left, I tell you, who knows how many out there are waiting to see you dead, hahaha..."

Knowing she couldn’t escape, she broke down completely, determined to disgust Zhou Wang and make his life miserable.

Facing Xuelan’s venomous curse, Zhou Wang didn’t respond, only after a few more glances at her, he shook his head in disappointment, likely not having expected that this woman who planned two murders against him looked no different from an ordinary shrew.

"Have you called the police?"

Zhou Wang didn’t converse with Xuelan, just asked Xiao Wang.

"Yes, the police car should be arriving soon..."

"That’s good, remember to call an ambulance as well."

With just this instruction, and after Xiao Wang nodded, Zhou Wang ended the call.

Xuelan was left bewildered, not understanding why an ambulance was needed, was it because Zhou Wang saw her injured state?

Was he truly so kind-hearted?

Just as Xuelan was about to scoff, Xiao Wang’s phone rang again.

"Hello... Yes, I’m the one who called the police... The person is... Let me check, here in the stairwell on the 27th floor."

Following Xiao Wang’s gaze, Xuelan reflexively glanced at the wall, then found it strange.

Because the floor they were on was clearly the 31st, she couldn’t believe the man next to her couldn’t see such large numbers.

"But there’s another special situation I need to tell you."

Just then, she heard the man beside her saying politely over the phone, "Mm... It’s just that the suspect ran too fast in the stairwell, seems to have fallen for several floors in a row, now the condition doesn’t seem good, breathing is very weak... I’ve already called an ambulance, yes..."

Xuelan’s heart dropped to the ice, she just realized what was happening and wanted to make a sound, but it was too late.

Xiao Wang hung up the phone, seemingly by accident, and the next second, the unsteady Xuelan screamed as she fell again down the stairs.

...

Thud!

Guo Nansheng had a heavy fall, the searing pain nearly made him cry out, but he held back.

This should be the fire escape connected to the parking lot, it was pitch dark all around, and Guo Nansheng was unsure of his direction, but he dared not stop, fearing the people behind would catch up at any moment.

With half a piece of tape still on his mouth, Guo Nansheng stumbled forward.

His mind was in chaos.

After being brought downstairs, Guo Nansheng hadn’t thought he’d escape from those two capable security personnel, but after they brought him to the parking lot, they seemed to suddenly drop their guard, turning around to smoke and chat idly.

Guo Nansheng knew this might be his only chance, as he clearly heard them mention that the police car would arrive soon.

So he ran with all his might, not expecting that he might really have a chance to succeed.

Bam!

He slammed through another door, the light from streetlamps spilling over, distant voices faintly audible, Guo Nansheng found he had actually escaped from the building, here should be an internal road on the side of an office building, not far from a bustling street.

Unsure where to run, Guo Nansheng could only head toward the crowd, tearing off the tape on his face, trying to blend in and find a way out.

Having run for who knows how long, and out of breath, Guo Nansheng finally stopped in a quiet alleyway, he really didn’t have the strength and could only choose to hide and rest here for a while.

Sitting on the ground, seemingly with no one chasing him from behind, yet Guo Nansheng’s expression remained gloomy, despair lingering in his heart.

Because he knew there was no escaping, when all the plans failed, it seemed fated he was a stray dog, where could he possibly run to?

Every struggle now was in vain.

Tap, tap, tap!

Just then, the sound of high heels on the ground approached, lacking strength, Guo Nansheng looked up to see a cold woman in a long windbreaker and gold-rimmed glasses, somehow standing before him, looking down at him from above.

Splat!

Then, a small handbag was thrown at Guo Nansheng’s feet. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"You, you are..."

Guo Nansheng asked, bewildered.

"You don’t need to know who I am, Mr. Zhou sent me."

Qi Jiayi, called in to work at the last minute, was still a bit groggy from waking up, and especially because she heard some of the past events from Zhou Wang, she didn’t really approve of Zhou Wang’s approach, so she didn’t give Guo Nansheng a kind look.

"Zhou Wang?"

Guo Nansheng’s expression changed, then quickly understood something, his eyes growing complicated, "But he, why would he..."

"Because only this way, you might still have some chance to escape."

With both hands in her pockets, Qi Jiayi said coolly, "But you can no longer stay in the country, this backpack contains your ’ship ticket’, get a taxi to Yangshan Port immediately, and there’s a phone in the backpack, contact the person, he will arrange for you to leave by sea."

Instinctively, Guo Nansheng opened the backpack to take a look, finding bundles of neatly wrapped hundred-yuan bills and a business card on which "Yuanri Ship" could faintly be seen.

Guo Nansheng’s mind was in disarray, but he didn’t suspect it was a trap by Zhou Wang, because if Zhou Wang wanted to completely crush him, he wouldn’t need to go through so much trouble.

"I..."

With countless words stuck in his throat, Guo Nansheng’s lips trembled, not knowing what to say or what he was feeling at the moment, only realizing the woman had turned and left when he looked up again to ask more questions.

Clenching his fists, and after struggling in the dark corner for a second or two, Guo Nansheng finally gritted his teeth, grabbed the backpack, and staggered toward the light...
