chapter 5

Next, I need to figure out a way to get out of here.

The safest way would be to call the police.

Now that the lights are on in the room, if I use my Phone under the Bed, he won’t notice.

I quietly take out my Phone.

First, I check if it’s on silent mode.

Then I open the emergency SMS to contact the police.

No!

Suddenly, I realize that if I call the police, I’ll be arrested for burglary myself.

That would ruin my future completely.

I don’t want a criminal record in my file, and I definitely don’t want to spend the rest of my life branded as a thief.

So, I can’t call the police.

But what other options do I have?

My eyes drift toward the window.

The only way now is to escape through the window.

But if he stays in the room, I won’t have a chance to get away.

I need to make him leave.

Soon enough, I come up with a way to escape.

I open the food delivery app.

I pick the nearest restaurant and order some food.

Destination: Deyuan Residential Area, Building 6, Room 702.

That’s right, the very place I’m hiding in now.

When the Delivery Man brings the food, the man of the house will have to open the door!

Even if he doesn’t open it himself, he’ll at least go to the door to check. Either way, my goal is to get him out of the room.

That way, I’ll have time to escape through the window.

To avoid hurting innocent people,

I make a special note on the order: Don’t call, just knock. My hearing isn’t good, please knock a few more times.

Then I send a big tip to the Delivery Man, hoping he’ll be in a good mood, act politely, and not anger the Murderer, risking his life for nothing.

After placing the order,

My Phone shows that the food will arrive in half an hour.

If I wait half an hour, I’ll be able to get away.

I tuck my Phone away,

And lie perfectly still under the Bed.
