But Jiang Baige's surprise only lasted ten seconds.

She quickly read from Zhuang Yao's expression that "this is a long story", so she got to the point: "You don't have to stay here 24 hours a day, right?"

Zhuang Yao nodded: "Yesterday was the night shift. After midnight today, another girl will come to take over. But I live in a small room provided by that group of people, and their people are guarding outside."

"What about during dinner? Are there so many of them?"

"At noon... I'll find a way at noon... There's a small clinic in the county town, near the police station, you guys wait for me there."

Jiang Baige took another look at the wound on Zhuang Yao's face.

The scar was like a flesh-pink caterpillar, coiled on Zhuang Yao's bronze skin, with radial lines on the edge that were forming scabs and healing.

She didn't know if the scar would be gone once they escaped.

But she didn't say anything. Instead, she handed the plastic bag to Zhuang Yao and said, "Go back quickly, or those people won't get suspicious."

Zhuang Yao felt the heavy weight in her hand and realized that all this was planned in advance by Jiang Baige and Song Siwen so that they could avoid the surveillance of those people and contact her.

She shook Jiang Baige's hand and said, "Thank you."

"It won't be too late to say this after we successfully rescue your friend and leave."

Zhuang Yao nodded, turned around, composed herself, and trotted back to the hotel.

Jiang Baige walked back into the darkness, calculating the time for her to reappear.

On the other side, Song Siwen took the plastic bag handed to him by Aying, who was wearing a hat and a mask.

She took out a bottle and found that it was the Wamoha purified water that she and Jiang Baige had agreed on in advance, and the bottle cap had been unscrewed in advance.

The surveillance time has jumped from late last night to this morning - Song Siwen told the manager that she had not seen Jiang Baige since she went to bed last night.

Soon, as they expected, at five o'clock in the morning, Jiang Baige's figure appeared at the corner of the stairs.

"Your friend is here!"

The manager excitedly pointed at the screen where Jiang Baige appeared.

Song Siwen rolled his eyes at him and said, "So what? She went out in the middle of the night. Who knows if one of you knocked on the door secretly? I didn't hear it, but she happened to hear it."

The manager didn't expect Song Siwen to be so sharp-tongued and was speechless for a moment. At this moment, Ah Ying's voice rang out: "That girl... is back..."

The four of them turned their heads at the same time, and Ah Ying had returned to her exclusive territory - the front desk.

Quan Gang and Ge Yang, who were near the door, rushed out first, followed by the manager. However, Song Siwen, who was the first to shout, was the last to walk out slowly.

But she was the first to speak: "White Pigeon! Where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time!"

Jiang Baige looked like she had no idea how big a stir she had caused. She shook the camera in her hand with a bit of pride on her face.

"Didn't we say we were here to shoot footage? I was so excited yesterday that I couldn't sleep this morning, so I came out for a walk and took a lot of nice empty shots, which will definitely be useful when editing the film later."

After she finished speaking, she seemed to have just noticed the expressions of others.

"Hey, why are you all outside? It's only a little after seven..."

Before the manager could criticize him, Ge Yang spoke first: "Bai Ge, you are not a child anymore. Why did you run out by yourself and make Siwen worry? You also made us all..."

"Oh, sorry." Jiang Baige smiled and took Song Siwen's arm, "I'm sorry. I just wanted to shoot more footage... and I didn't want to wake you up..."

Then she turned her gaze to Ge Yang: "How about we go and take a look at the footage I shot today?"

Ge Yang and Quan Gang were indeed interested in this matter and did not ask any more questions about Jiang Baige's unauthorized leaving the team.

Since the four people had already reached an agreement, the manager couldn't say anything. He could only watch them leave and angrily drank half a bottle of mineral water.

Zhuang Yao lowered her head and smiled softly. She stroked the wound on her face that had not yet fully healed and secretly made up her mind...

***

It was half an hour later when I came out of Ge Yang and Quan Gang's room.

"You are really amazing. If you don't know me, I would think you are really going there to shoot some footage..."

"You're not bad either. You played that group of people around."

Jiang Baige rubbed her sore shoulders and arms. She was really tired from all the busy work this morning.

First, I had to make sure that there was no one there and then quietly (but calmly) leave the hotel. Then I had to look for some spots in an unfamiliar place before dawn to shoot some footage. Also, I had to find a small shop that was open to buy some WaMoHa purified water.

Also, don't forget to keep in touch with Song Siwen by phone at all times, let her scream and make trouble at the right time, and show up at the right opportunity.

"So are you sure that it was Senior Sister Zhuang?"

Jiang Baige nodded, and the flesh-pink wound appeared in front of her eyes again...

"What? Senior Sister Zhuang is injured?" Song Siwen jumped up from the bed excitedly, and then tried to calm himself down, "Then should we..."

"Don't panic."

Jiang Baige knew what she wanted to say, so she reached out her hand and pulled Song Siwen to sit next to her.

"I know what you're thinking... You have to believe that when I saw that scar, I felt no less shocked than you did. But, from beginning to end, Senior Sister never once said she wanted to retreat."

"She might be a little paranoid about it."

If that was the case, they should have pulled her back on track when things were beyond redemption.

It’s just an injury now, but what about next time?

But what Song Siwen didn't know was that Jiang Baige had actually seen this scar on Zhuang Yao's face in her previous life.

At that time, she thought that Zhuang Yao was scratched by someone after being captured.

But now it seems that this scar is far from being that simple...

And if this injury was actually caused by Zhuang Yao herself, then the thing that she would endure such great pain and make such a great sacrifice to preserve must be much more important than a face.

Jiang Baige could not think of any other possibility except a life.

This thought made Jiang Baige shudder: because this meant that there was a high probability that Zhuang Yao had not been abducted in the first place.

It is very likely that she fell into the abyss step by step in isolation and helplessness because she had no support from her companions!

fortunately……

Jiang Baige felt somewhat fortunate: this time, because of Song Siwen's sharpness, they joined in, so that Zhuang Yao did not have to repeat the mistakes of her previous life.

There was some gratitude in her eyes when she looked at Song Siwen, but the latter was looking at Jiang Baige anxiously at the moment and had no time to care about any emotion in her eyes.

"What are you staring at me for?"

"I'll take a nap first, and then we'll go out for breakfast together." Jiang Baige changed the subject, "My senior and I have an appointment to meet at noon, but I want to go early to wait for her."

"What about the two men?"

Jiang Baige waved her hand and said, "They are afraid of hardship and fatigue, so let them stay in the hotel today and have a day's rest."
