Then, he checked every inch of Liu Baobao's body and every pocket in her clothes, confirming there was nothing else on her.
He sneered at Liu Baobao, who was below him, a sinister grin spreading across his face. "Too bad, baby. I've survived in Alice Apartment for days. A little beauty like you wants to kill me? You've overestimated yourself and underestimated me. Now, let me have some fun with you!"
Liu Baobao tilted her head in confusion. "What Alice Apartment? I have no idea what you're talking about."
S said, "Fine, keep playing dumb. But pretending won't get you out of my grasp."
With that, S leaned in to kiss her.
He believed he had everything under control and could now enjoy the fruits of his victory.
He was going to teach this Hua Country woman, Liu Baobao, a lesson.
Let her know the price of underestimating him.
A honey trap wouldn't work on him.
He'd been a player in the game of love for years—did she really think he was some naive fool?!
Bang!
Just as his lips were about to touch Liu Baobao's red ones, a deafening crash came from the door.
The sound startled S, making him jerk upright and whip his head around.
There, outside the door, a young white man was just lowering his foot.
After he pulled back, four people surged in behind him.
All were sturdy, strong white men.
And each of them carried a different weapon.
Some were smirking, hiding daggers behind their smiles, while others were outright vicious.
S froze, his body as rigid as a statue, unable to move.
His face was fixed on the four men, his eyes as if frozen over.
He was utterly stunned—so much so that he didn't even notice Liu Baobao slipping out from under him.
"What... what do you want?" S played dumb.
Earlier, he had thought Liu Baobao was like the deranged criminals and serial killers from Alice Apartment.
She had played dumb and denied it.
Now, it was his turn.
He wanted to believe this was a honey trap. He desperately hoped it was.
"What do you think we want?" Liu Baobao said, standing in front of the four men with her arms crossed, a faint smile on her lips.
S said, "This must be a honey trap, right? You want money?"
Liu Baobao clutched her stomach, laughing. "No. Before my friends came in, you were already calling me out. Why are you the one pretending now?"
S awkwardly scratched the back of his head with his right hand. "I don't know what you're talking about. Name your price. Which of these four guys' wives or girlfriends are you?"
Liu Baobao stared at S, who was still playing dumb, and found it amusing.
Meanwhile, S's eyes darted around restlessly, scanning the room with his peripheral vision, looking for an escape route.
First, the door. Damn it! How could that security chain be so weak? One kick and it was busted?!
Four men were blocking the door—no way out there.
So, the only option left was...
In the blink of an eye.
S, in one swift motion, stepped off the bed and hurled his shoulder sideways toward the massive floor-to-ceiling window, intending to crash through it.
His plan was clear: this was the second floor.
Even if he fell, it wouldn't be a big deal.
As long as he shattered the glass and escaped to the street, he'd be like a fish in the sea—free and untouchable!
Bang!
A violent impact.
But the expected crash of the floor-to-ceiling window and his fall from the second floor never came.
S realized in horror that his charge hadn't broken the glass at all. It felt like he had slammed into a solid stone wall.
"Heh, useless. If you could break this glass, I'd swear to let you go tonight," Liu Baobao said.
She pulled a piece of gum from her pants pocket, unwrapped the purple foil, and popped it into her vibrant red lips.
Then, she watched as S slammed his shoulder against the floor-to-ceiling window again and again. When his shoulder failed, he tried kicking, but after several kicks, the glass showed no sign of cracking.
"Don't bother. This is tempered glass made in Hua Country. Otherwise, do you think I'd be confident enough to bet you couldn't break it?"
Hearing that it was tempered glass from Hua Country.
S was crushed.
Even though he didn't know much about Hua Country, he had heard legends about how tough their tempered glass was.
So now, he slumped desolately against the massive floor-to-ceiling window.
Completely hopeless.
He lowered his head, sobbing, but after all that crying, barely a few tears came out.
Then, he looked up, staring helplessly at Liu Baobao and the four men.
"Are you all... that kind of people?"
Liu Baobao said, "If you mean former residents of Alice Apartment, then I can tell you with certainty that we all come from different Alice Apartments."
S kept sobbing. "What are you going to do to me?"
Liu Baobao said, "Honestly, you already know. It's just death."
S said, "Then, before I die, can I ask one question?"
Liu Baobao said, "Go ahead."
S said, "Since you're all that kind of people, why are you all targeting me together?"
Liu Baobao raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Cooperation! You've never run into this before?"
S shook his head.
Liu Baobao immediately understood. "Alice Apartment is usually about going it alone. Teaming up to kill is rare. It makes sense you've never seen it. So that's why you thought that just overpowering me would be enough?"
S stayed silent.
From his time in Maple Country Alice Apartment to the one Special Live Stream he had participated in, the biggest group he'd ever faced was a three-person team.
And he, A, and Y were also three, so he had nothing to fear.
So, it never crossed his mind that Liu Baobao would have four people behind her.
He had considered the possibility that she might have a partner, but he never expected this many.
Next, the four white men behind Liu Baobao, each holding a weapon, stepped closer to S.
S immediately dropped to his knees, kowtowing and begging for mercy, pleading with Liu Baobao to let him go.
On top of that, he said, "I still have two companions! I'm willing to trade their lives for mine! If you just let me go!!!!"
He kept kowtowing, selling out his friends to save his own skin.
Liu Baobao said, "Oh? And how are you going to do that?"
A flash of determination lit up S's eyes. "I'll call and trick them into coming out. You can take them down directly!"
"Hahaha..."
Liu Baobao and the four men exchanged knowing smiles.
This guy still didn't know that his two companions had already abandoned him.
"Get on with it."
Liu Baobao had lost her patience. She gave the order for the four men to proceed.
