Wang Yong felt embarrassed to mention that the chamber pot was broken, its bottom had cracked, and when he just relieved himself a bit ago, it all leaked out.
This dormitory is too small, only ten to almost twenty square meters. If one resolves things here, the smell can be imagined.
Originally, Liu Hongwei was still hesitant, but then she heard a "creak" sound not far away; a door was opening, followed by footsteps heading towards the public water room.
Now Wang Yong couldn’t hold it any longer; without discussing it with Liu Hongwei, he opened the door first and jogged toward the water room.
Seeing this, Liu Hongwei dared not stay behind. She reluctantly put on a coat and was forced to go with him. Thus, the two arrived at the water room, one after the other.
At this moment, coughing sounds came from the men’s restroom. Seeing there was someone inside, Wang Yong covered his stomach and went in.
Liu Hongwei didn’t dare to leave, she stood in the water room outside awaiting him.
But she waited left and right, for 7 or 8 minutes, yet no one came out, and at some point, the men’s restroom became dead silent, not a sound could be heard.
Liu Hongwei began to feel scared. She stood at the door, trying to call Wang Yong’s name, but after calling three times in a row, there was no response from inside, as if nobody was there.
But how could this be? She clearly saw Wang Yong walk in, and besides... besides Wang Yong, there should be another person inside right? They followed due to hearing that person’s footsteps, and she also heard the unfamiliar man’s coughing sound!
At this moment, Yang Xiao’s face showed a fluctuation, the words coughing sound deeply touched him, because he had also heard coughing sounds, from that ghost phone call.
On the end of the ghost call, the ghost impersonating the woman from the security department kept coughing.
"What happened after?" Chief Zhou asked, his face very suppressed, in a low voice, "Did you go in to look for people?"
"No, I didn’t, I... I didn’t dare to, I immediately left, then ran to the room of the building manager downstairs and called you guys." Liu Hongwei, emotionally agitated, spoke rapidly, "I waited downstairs the whole time, until... until you sent people over."
"You did very well." Chief Zhou nodded.
After all, it was clear to see, if Liu Hongwei had gone inside, then who knows what might have happened.
"It seems the footsteps were from a lurking enemy agent, Wang Yong was kidnapped, if Liu Hongwei went to look, she would have been killed too." Another excited security department member said.
At this moment, another security department member wearing a red armband walked in.
Yang Xiao had never seen him before, he was a man wearing glasses with tightly clustered facial features, small eyes but focused, unimpressive looking but seemed to hold a considerable status within the security department; out of all people, only he was wearing leather gloves.
He gestured to Chief Zhou with a look, quickly leading Chief Zhou outside with him - before they left, Yang Xiao noticed the man glanced one last time at Liu Hongwei, the survivor.
Ye Zheng was standing behind the door. Witnessing this, she wanted to follow them outside but was intercepted by another security department member.
"What do you mean?" Ye Zheng questioned.
"Director Zhai and Chief Zhou have work to discuss; you shouldn’t disturb them." The security member, with dark skin and carrying a submachine gun, replied matter-of-factly.
"Director Zhai..." Now Yang Xiao realized the man was also a director, presumably Chief Zhou held the official post, and the man was a subordinate.
But Yang Xiao’s attention was not on those two but on Liu Hongwei. He couldn’t understand the look Director Zhai gave before leaving.
In merely a few minutes, Chief Zhou and Director Zhai returned, and this time, Chief Zhou immediately approached the table, squatted down, and picked up a few cigarette butts next to the table leg.
He placed the cigarette butts in his palm, checked them for a while, then as he lifted his head up again, his gaze toward Liu Hongwei was no longer the same.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiao felt the atmosphere in this room was suddenly suppressed a lot, and Liu Hongwei was evidently becoming tense.
"These cigarette butts were smoked by Wang Yong, right?" Chief Zhou picked up one butt to show Liu Hongwei.
Cigarettes of this era differed greatly from the modern ones; they lacked filter tips. Generally, once smoked to the limit, one would toss the butt away; otherwise, further smoking resulted in burnt fingers.
"Yes, they were... they were smoked by Wang Yong." Liu Hongwei nervously responded.
"Since you two returned tonight, you haven’t left the dormitory, until Wang Yong took the initiative to go to the restroom, and then you followed him. You said so before, didn’t you?" Chief Zhou’s face turned chilling.
This scene utterly horrified Liu Hongwei; her face turned pale, yet she forced herself to respond softly, "Yes, I... I’m just... "
"You’re lying!"
In the next instant, Chief Zhou’s low roar directly stunned Liu Hongwei; the water bowl in her hand "crack" fell shattered to the ground.
Right now, Liu Hongwei was on the verge of tears; she instinctively looked towards Yang Xiao and Ye Zheng, hoping they would speak up for her.
Chief Zhou didn’t give her that chance, he reached out a hand, while the expressionless Director Zhai smoothly took out a white handkerchief from his pocket.
The handkerchief tightly wrapped around something.
Chief Zhou opened the handkerchief, revealing two cigarette butts inside.
Chief Zhou held the cigarette butts and presented them to Liu Hongwei, "These were found by us near the water basin in the public water room; they’re still dry, meaning they were discarded there not long ago."
"The workers living on this floor are ordinary ones, living without luxury. They wouldn’t leave such a long piece unused; this had been left by Wang Yong!"
