Nina's lips parted in shock, and her eyes narrowed. "What's going on? Why is the door locked from outside?"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Nina banged on the door with all her strength, shouting for help. "Helen, Helen, I was locked in the bedroom by accident. Open the door for !"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Nina slamd her palms against the door, then put her ear against the wood to listen for clues as to what might be transpiring outside.
Soon enough, the sound of footsteps ca.
Helen was right outside the door, and she called out, "Mrs. Shi, you're awake? Are you feeling hungry? Would you like sothing to eat? Or do you want so fruits? I can bring them to you."
"No, open the door for ! I have sothing urgent to deal with," Nina yelled from the room. All she could think about was confronting John and ask him point blank if he had sothing to do with Kristina's death.
If she looked back on his reaction back at the office that ti, it was obvious that he knew Kristina was dead and she was investigating the incident.
The reason why he had her knocked her out was probably to prevent her from continuing the investigation.
The more Nina thought about it, the more she wanted to find out the truth.
She believed that John was not the murderer; he must have other reasons for doing this to her.
"Helen, open the door! I need to speak with John." Nina
in the bedroom. She also made a draft of the position of the bodyguards, and judged their respective strengths by their appearance, their stance, and the way they carried themselves whenever they moved.
When night ca, Helen knocked tentatively at the door. Without waiting for an answer, she opened it a crack, then nudged a tray of dinner inside before imdiately closing it again.
Nina took the tray and placed it on the table. It held three dishes and a bowl of soup. She needed to work on a full stomach if she wanted to carry her plan out well.
The ideal ti for her to start moving was eight o'clock in the evening.
When the clock indicated the hour, Nina activated her virtual computer. With it, she started on destroying the power network system of North Yard. Her mind was going off different directions at the sa ti, and a chunk of it was calculating the route of escape and the ti it was supposed to take.
Three minutes later, the entire North Yard fell into darkness.
The whole place practically blended into the night.
Several noises were coming from outside, presumably the guards scrambling over each other due to the sudden power cut.
"And now it's ti." The corners of Nina's lips curved into a smile like a lotus flower blooming in the moonlight. She was brimming with coy confidence.
There was no way anyone could trap her.
