Chapter 324 - Escape Attempt
At the dead of the night where a certain secret lab was devoid of any noise, Jia slightly moved in her bed. She opened her eyes and looked around. She had been unconscious for the whole yesterday after how Mingshen made her smell the chloroform.
Her eyes darted towards the small camera at the corner of the roof, pointing its lens at the whole room. She was being watched.
No wonder that mad doctor was ready to counterattack.
Jia had already been awake since last night, but she pretended to be asleep because she didn't want to get his attention until he left the lab. She had no idea when he did, but sooner or later Mingshen would leave for home and that's when she would get the chance to escape.
Of course, she was fully aware that somebody would still definitely keep an eye on her. She had heard Mingshen telling his assistant, Lu Bojing, to keep a close watch on her when he thought that she was still unconscious.
Being watched by his assistant was a hundred times better than being watched by Mingshen.
Jia turned her head and found a glass of water. She slowly got up and leaned towards it, trying to get hold of it. Her eyes twinkled and with a slight touch, the glass fell and broke into pieces.
She pursed her lips. She weakly tried to get up when she heard the sound of footsteps hastily marching towards her ward.
Jia narrowed her eyes.
Great. He is coming here.
The door opened and Lu Bojing stepped in, huffing and puffing a bit. He was almost at the point of getting a night of good sleep, tired from watching her for almost the whole night. But just then he heard the sound of glass shattering and he jolted in his seat. He was dumbfounded to see Jia awake.
Ahhhh the problem research subject 076 is awake! What is she doing? If she tries to escape, I am so dead! He sobbed.
Lu Bojing cautiously stepped into her ward. "Umm…"
He didn't know how to address her. It was the first time that a research subject was conscious to talk. The rest were…
"S-subject 076," In the end, he could only think of calling her by her ID. "Is there anything wrong? Pl-please be back on the bed."
He sweated hard. Poor Lu Bojing really didn't want to deal with her. She looked weak, but she wasn't.
This is the beast woman who pointed a scalpel at Boss's neck! Boss's neck for God's sake and she is STILL alive!
Somehow, he admired her as much as he feared her.
If she could threaten to kill Mingshen, then he was as good as an insect to her. Lu Bojing had no fighting skills, so he was more afraid to approach her.
Jia faintly smiled. "I just wanted some water. My throat was really dry."
"Oh!"
Lu Bojing nodded as he felt relieved.
Phew! So she just wanted some water.
"Please don't move. You are still very weak. I will fetch you some water."
"Thank you."
Lu Bojing cleared his throat and picked the jar. His back was slightly tilted at an angle towards her. Jia squinted her gaze.
Without any warning, she pulled the collar of his coat and grabbed his wrist. In a flash, she caught hold of his hands and locked them behind his back, firmly gripping in her left hand. With her right hand, she pointed a shard of the glass that she sneakily picked up from before and pointed it at his neck.
Lu Bojing froze. His expression turned pale, and he was absolutely terrified.
Demon! She is a demon! I felt that she was pitiful, but but…
Jia narrowed her eyes. "Take me out," she ordered in a calm but firm tone.
He had an urge to burst into tears.
If I take you out, then Boss would kill me! If I don't then you will!
I am dead either way! Why can't I just live a peaceful life? He sobbed.
"I-I-I cannot take you out... Pl-please throw the shard…" he pitifully mewled, begging her.
"Sure. After you take me out of this damn lab, I will withdraw my weapon."
Lu Bojing felt his heart drumming faster. The adrenaline pumped in full swing into his blood.
"Boss o-orders...I cannot let you go," he cried, "Y-you are a research subject. You have to be in the l-lab…"
Yes, I have nothing against you, but please understand my position here!
"Well then I think that you are ready to die…" she pressed the tip of the sharp edge on his neck.
Waaaaaaa scary!!!
"D-Don't kill me please!"
"Then take me out. I am not going to repeat it again."
Lu Bojing tremblingly walked forward under her death threat. He didn't dare to resist or move or he was afraid that she would slice his neck in the next instant.
Jia had to quickly leave this place before Mingshen would be back. They slowly walked in the corridor and towards the exit. There was a sophisticated electronic lock that used a retina and ID card scan to unlock.
"Don't waste time," Jia warned.
He cried.
Damn just how much strength this woman has!?
Jia had been holding his wrists so tightly that he could hardly believe that she was a weak, frail patient. There was no space to budge at all.
She pushed his head and forced his eyes to face the scan. Then she did the same with his ID card and the door opened with a click.
Lu Bojing - "..."
So brutal!
Jia was a little surprised as she had expected to be directly outside. But it seemed that this was some underground lab. That meant there must be an elevator to reach the proper exit.
She pushed him forward. "Keep moving."
Lo Bojing gulped. "That…"
She narrowed her eyes. "Seems like you don't understand it the first time. Hurry up."
"What's the big rush, Spicy~?"
An amusing chuckle echoed in the silence and Mingshen came forward, lazily keeping his hands in his pockets.
