Chapter 327 We Meet Again
There was no light at all in the warehouse, except for a faint light streaming through beneath the door.
But that light was almost negligible.

What Eric had in thought was to connect both these gadgets’ wires, so they’d enable them to connect to
the outside world. But how could he do so with such poor lighting?
Eric laid on his stomach and tried to get the faint light from beneath the door.
Whereas Mu Zhi stood anxiously beside to watch out for him.
She was so anxious that she could not feel her disturbed heart rhythms. Strangely, she did not feel any
fear with Eric by her side.
While she listened carefully for movements outside the door, Mu Zhi slowly observed whether the
surrounding environment could camouflage them.
Suddenly, she heard a hissing sound coming from Eric. It seemed like the wires were already
successfully connected.
Mu Zhi rushed over towards Eric in surprise.

Just then, the sound of footsteps came near from outside.
Mu Zhi was terrified. She quickly helped Eric hide the phone in a pile of dry weeds, then tied herself with
Eric.
The footsteps only came to check on Eric and Mu Zhi as the door was closed almost immediately after it
opened.
After the person left, Mu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly untied Eric. The two of them sat
together and started experimenting with the thing once more.
Mu Zhi did not know how it went around.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut Eric had made it work. The gadget could emit sounds and signals.
However, the gadget could only receive voices but not send them.
Coincidentally, Lu Jinye was in front of the computer and waiting for Eric to go online. Just at that
moment, a series of numbers began to appear on his page.
But they didn’t make any sense to him.
First, it showed Lu Jinye’s building number.
Then, it was a series of Lu Jinye’s phone numbers.
Mu Zhi’s phone number followed.
Lu Jinye frowned all of a sudden. He stared at the changing numbers.

Then a landline number appeared.
And stopped.
Lu Jinye was stunned!
This was clearly a signal.
The first computer had a similar system as this.
The person he was communicating with had modified a fixed telephone!
Who would do such a lame thing?
But as Lu Jinye stared at his building and phone numbers, he couldn’t brush it off as a prank.
So, he picked up his phone and punched in the series of numbers on his computer screen.
Eric’s landline rang all of a sudden.
Eric picked up the call in a jiff and started pressing onto the keys on the phone.
He pressed the number ‘1’.
Lu Jinye frowned and looked at the number 1 that appeared inexplicably on his screen.
The number 1 was usually used as a quick reply when one was too busy to reply in words.
So, did the person at the other end of the phone mean that he had received his message?
The only person that came to Lu Jinye’s mind, who’d play this with him, was Eric!
“Eric, is that you?”

Another “1” appeared on the screen.
Lu Jinye was fired up that instant!
His subconscious mind told him that Eric must have encountered trouble communicating with him in this
way.
Eric could hear Lu Jinye talking, but he could not hear Eric.
Lu Jinye asked Eric calmly, “Where are you now?”
Eric paused. He did not know how to reply.
They did not cross any ocean, and they were still in a city. But Eric could not send his coordinates to Lu
Jinye to show his current location.
Moreover, they were blindfolded all the way here, so Eric did not know where they were.
Then, Lu Jinye continued abruptly, “You don’t have to give me your location. Don’t talk. I shall scan your
IP now, so stay where you are and keep us connected for ten seconds.
Eric replied with another “1” to show that he understood.
Luckily, they were fortunate enough.
That Eric could use this method to reach Lu Jinye.
And the watchmen outside didn’t notice whatever went on inside the warehouse.
Mu Zhi could hear Lu Jinye’s voice faintly throughout the whole process. She felt a tug onto her heart as
she watched Eric work with Lu Jinye from the side.
The Lu Jinye she saw in the past was definitely not like this.

At this time, Lu Jinye, who was communicating with Eric, seemed very professional, responsible, and
serious.
It touched Mu Zhi’s heart.
Ten seconds, nine seconds, eight seconds, seven seconds, six seconds…
Time passed by.
Mu Zhi’s body grew stiff from the tension she felt in fear that they could not escape. She kept looking at
the door, worried that the kidnappers would suddenly, inadvertently, run in.
At this moment, Eric suddenly heard the sound of the door knocking. At the same time, Lu Jinye spoke,
“Okay, I got your position.”
At that very moment, Eric cut off his signal.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe door opened once more when he and Mu Zhi had tied themselves against each other.
A woman walked in slowly.
Judging from her body shape, she was not the same person as the previous one who brought them here.
This woman looked stronger and fitter.
Mu Zhi stared at the woman earnestly.
She had a mask on too. But as she gradually approached Mu Zhi, she took off her mask.
She deliberately shone the flashlight on her face so that Mu Zhi could see her clearly.
“We meet again.”

The woman looked like a ghost in the dark as she smiled.
Mu Zhi could feel a chill go down her spine as she looked at the smile.
However, she knew this woman. This woman had stood in front of their house and told her that she was
related to Xie Xiu.
Mu Zhi sat up straight in fright and asked her, “What do you want? Why are you holding us hostage?”
“To seal a deal with Xie Xiu.”
The corners of her mouth rose slightly as she replied Mu Zhi softly.
However, she still looked terrifying to Mu Zhi.
How could that woman act so calmly?
She remembered that she had once seen an article saying, the more murderous a person, the more
emotionally stable she was.
When Mu Zhi thought of this, the woman seemed even more terrifying.
The woman bent down slightly and leaned close towards Mu Zhi. She asked in a menacing way, “Aren’t
you curious if the deal was sealed?”
“It was not?” Mu Zhi glanced at the woman and replied.
The woman’s lips curled into a smile as she taunted, “Indeed, it did not work. He told me to kill your son!”
