Chapter 983 - 982: Chaos
If her two sisters indeed gave her completely opposing opinions, she would undoubtedly go insane at that moment.
Now, with only the three of them in the room, if the woman went mad, the ones to get hurt would only be the two sisters, and the ones to suffer losses would also only be them.
The maxim ’he who understands the times is a wise man, those who can bend and stretch are masters’ had been firmly engraved in the hearts and minds of the two sisters.
No matter how frantic their hearts were, or how much they wanted to tackle this woman, their faces showed none of it.
If they felt that their inner thoughts might be exposed, they would close their eyes.
They say eyes are the windows to the soul; as long as they shut the windows, no one knows what lies within them.
On the surface, the three were conversing harmoniously, but only the sisters knew they were stalling for time.
Indeed, it wasn’t just the Human Resources Director who was stalling; Tangtang and Guoguo were also.
Today’s event was something no one wanted to see, nor did anyone anticipate.
Last time Tangtang and Guoguo suffered a bit from a similar situation, hence the sisters were extra cautious, but it seems they were cautious with the wrong person.
They were only wary of the man, neglecting the woman, leaving their hearts tormented with regret and unspeakable sadness.
But now, regardless of their thoughts or feelings, nothing could change their current predicament.
Yet it wasn’t entirely hopeless; Guoguo had drunk very little water, and having gone through a kidnapping before, she had trained specifically against such drugs.
Even though the drug was potent, Guoguo had regained some mobility, albeit laughably limited at present.
But this laughable mobility had become the sisters’ lifeline.
Since the previous kidnapping incident, the sisters set Xu Ke’s number as a quick dial, furtively practicing countless times.
Though it was a touchscreen phone, with their hundreds of night-time rehearsals, even without directly facing the phone now, they knew its layout.
With trembling hands, Guoguo quickly sent Xu Ke a distress message, though she didn’t specify their location.
Because they knew Xu Ke had installed a tracker in their phone.
They hadn’t opposed Xu Ke installing it; they were even pleased for it symbolized Xu Ke’s concern for them.
They thought after the last incident, it would be long before encountering similar situations again, yet unexpectedly, within a short span, it happened once more.
It was as if destiny were playing a massive joke on them.
Tangtang and Guoguo stalled for Xu Ke’s rescue, while the Human Resources Director stalled for her awaiting few.
Time passed — was it a minute, two minutes, or ten minutes, or even half an hour or longer?
Tangtang and Guoguo lost all sense of time, merely maintaining consciousness without the mood or energy to track time.
And the Human Resources Director wasn’t about to inform them.
Soon, a knocking sound echoed.
Even with eyes closed, Tangtang and Guoguo swiftly opened them at the sound.
They gazed intensely toward the door, hoping it would be Xu Ke.
But they knew if it truly were Xu Ke, outside wouldn’t be so silent; moreover, Xu Ke wouldn’t knock — he’d kick the door open in such a situation.
Though having lived with Xu Ke not long, they already understood a part of him.
Their guess proved correct; the first to come in wasn’t Xu Ke.
Instead, it was a group of completely unfamiliar men, each bearing a lewd appearance and eyes full of depravity, their whole demeanor screaming scum and filth.
Just seeing these men made Tangtang and Guoguo feel nauseous, wanting a place to aggressively vomit.
Simultaneously, as the men entered, a bad premonition loomed in the sisters’ hearts.
The intruding men brazenly inspected Tangtang and Guoguo.
Their eyes gleamed with surprise and greed, making Tangtang and Guoguo nauseous.
"What do you want? I warn you not to mess around. If you dare do anything to us, my brother will never let you off." Tangtang shouted impulsively as the men closed in.
"Won’t let us off? If your brother doesn’t want you ruined, he’ll not only let us off but also pamper us, as long as you wish to go down fighting, I can ensure you reach hell before you break, try me." The most lecherous of the four men taunted.
With certainty in his gaze, his words indicated they were no strangers to such deeds.
The sisters weren’t the only victims; surely there were more.
Whether they escaped the clutches or ascended to Heaven remained unknown.
Watching these four malicious men suggested none of those girls met a good end.
Now wasn’t the time for Tangtang and Guoguo to ache for others; they must protect themselves and await rescue.
Their relentless endeavor to stall seemed futile now, and unless a miracle happened, Xu Ke wouldn’t arrive promptly.
What if Xu Ke couldn’t make it? What should they do?
Though not desiring death, it was far better than living in humiliation.
If it reached an irredeemable point, they’d choose death.
While their coming into this world wasn’t a choice, their departure method could be.
Fortunately, Xu Ke didn’t grant them much time for wild thoughts; just as the four intended harm upon Tangtang and Guoguo, the Human Resources office door burst open once again.
This time, the door was kicked — shattered glass scattered, some grazing the Human Resources Director’s face, leaving a red mark, bleeding from the wound.
