Defu was much quicker than expected.
Before noon the next day, he came to Grandpa's house with the watch. At that time, Shen Jianyi was in the room thinking about how to raise some cash. Unexpectedly, he just pushed the door open and walked in.
"Defu?" Shen Jianyi turned her head.
Grandpa was following behind him. Grandpa smiled and handed the watch to Shen Jianyi, patting her on the shoulder. "Girl, the watch has been repaired for you. See if it works?"
She was a bit surprised and immediately opened the watch. A message from Xia Liang popped up. It roughly meant that the people in the research lab were arresting her and she must be careful.
Just as she was about to say something, the window of the room suddenly opened from the outside. A man climbed in directly and closed the window tightly.
Seeing this, Shen Jianyi was stunned for a moment and then quickly reacted. She seemed to already know what was going on outside.
But Defu was still completely in the dark. He stretched out his hands towards the two of them. "Pretty sister, you have to pay me. This watch cost three hundred yuan!"
Hearing this, Shen Jianyi immediately told him to shut up.
"People are chasing us outside. I'd pay three million if I had to, not just three hundred. But you mustn't tell anyone that we're here!"
Defu had no idea what was going on. He thought these two were just making excuses not to pay. Although he liked the pretty sister, he couldn't let others cheat him out of his hard - earned money. It wasn't easy for him to make money, so he couldn't be deceived like this.
"That won't do!" Defu said righteously. "How do I know if you're not lying to me? You probably don't have the money, do you?"
Just as he finished speaking, Shen Jianyi frowned. There was a knock on the door.
Defu clearly intended to open the door. Without hesitation, he walked straight out.
Just as Defu was about to open the door, Gun quickly struck him on the neck with a chop of his hand. Defu fainted on the ground.
This really scared Grandpa. He didn't react at all. Shen Jianyi quickly stepped forward and reminded him. "Grandpa, open the door, but don't say we're here."
Grandpa nodded.
Then he watched as the two of them dragged Defu into the room. There was nowhere to hide in this room except a wardrobe.
Having no other choice, the two of them had to hide in the wardrobe first and see what happened. If they were discovered, she would choose to act without hesitation.
Shen Jianyi tightened her grip on her last weapon, a fruit knife she found in the kitchen. She felt insecure without a weapon in her hand.
Without hesitation, the two of them got into the wardrobe.
The wardrobe wasn't big. It could barely fit them. In this cramped space, Shen Jianyi was very close to the man. She could even clearly hear his heartbeat.
The man's ragged breathing brushed against the top of her head. Although it made her uncomfortable, she couldn't say a word.
The people outside looking for them were all very sharp. Even the slightest sound could give them away, so it was necessary to stay quiet.
But it was so hot in here. She was pressed tightly against Gun's chest. She even thought the man might be suffocating under his mask. So she decided to take a chance and said, "Take off your mask. You must be hot."
"I'm not hot."
What made this man so stubborn? He just wouldn't take off his mask no matter what today. He had already seen her face, so there was no need for him to be so finicky.
Shen Jianyi turned her head away and snorted disdainfully. "You're so finicky."
The man didn't say a word. Instead, he peeked out through a small crack.
The group of people hadn't come in yet, but they could hear some indistinct voices.
After Grandpa opened the door, he saw a group of masked people standing outside. These people were similar to the two inside. Grandma looked surprised and was about to speak when Grandpa stopped her.
"Who are you?" Grandpa asked warily.
But his nervous look immediately gave something away.
"Have you seen anyone like us, wearing strange clothes and masks?"
Hearing this, Grandpa shook his head without hesitation. "No, I haven't."
After saying that, he was about to close the door.
But just as the door was about to close, someone's hand held it, preventing him from closing it.
Grandpa thought he was quite strong, but he never expected that the man who reached out could push the door open effortlessly.
Grandpa was naturally dissatisfied. Was this an attempt to break into a private house? Although the law in their village wasn't perfect, this was still illegal, and the town's police station would take care of it.
He stammered, "I've already said there's no one you're looking for here. If you keep this up, I'll call the police."
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the women inside snorted disdainfully. "Call the police? Do you even have a phone?"
That's right. In Li's Village, if you wanted to call the police, you had to walk all the way to the town's police station, which would take a long time.
It seemed that these people had already figured this out, so they dared to come here so brazenly.
The man held the door open, not giving Grandpa any chance to resist.
"We'll just go in and check if there's anyone or not," the woman said as she swayed her enchanting figure and walked inside.
Seeing Grandpa left outside, Grandma couldn't bear it any longer. Since these two people came to their house, they had been causing trouble.
"Why didn't you let me say anything just now? Now they're going to find them, aren't they?" Grandma stamped her foot. "What if they hurt us too?"
Maybe because Grandpa was kind - hearted, he thought that since they had saved someone, they should see it through to the end instead of giving up halfway.
He quickly chased after them. He saw those people rummaging around the house and throwing things on the ground casually.
"Oh, don't mess around! If you're looking for someone, go to that bedroom!"
This sentence directly revealed their location. One of them curled his lips and kicked open the bedroom door.
He looked inside the room and saw a man lying on the bed. He was a bit confused and walked forward warily.
At this moment.
Inside the wardrobe, the two of them got closer and closer. Gun instinctively pulled the woman into his arms, protecting her head with one hand.
Now even if Shen Jianyi wanted to struggle, she couldn't. In this situation, the slightest noise from her would be heard by the people outside.
