The night was inky, the moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, and only the occasional lightning bolt pierced the sky, bringing brief flashes of light and dull thunder. Li Meng walked alone on the way home, thinking about tomorrow's work arrangement. Suddenly, a rush of footsteps came from behind her, and she subconsciously looked back to see a figure galloping in the darkness, as if it was approaching her.
Li Meng's heart tightened suddenly, and she quickened her pace, trying to shake off the unidentified tracker. However, the man's speed seemed to be faster, and in the blink of an eye, he was already approaching her side. She screamed in horror and instinctively wanted to run away, but was firmly grasped by a large hand on her shoulder.
"Don't move!" A low, cold voice rang in my ears. Li Meng trembled, and she felt a chill rise from the bottom of her heart. She struggled to break free, only to find that her strength seemed so insignificant in front of the big hand.
"Who are you? What do you want? Li Meng tried his best to keep himself calm, but his voice trembled involuntarily.
"Don't ask so much, follow me." Instead of answering her question, the man pulled her into a remote alley. Li Meng's heart sank to the bottom, and she didn't know what fate she would face.
The alley was pitch black, save for the occasional barking of dogs and the rustle of the wind through the leaves in the distance. Li Meng was dragged by the man to grope her way forward in the dark, her heart beating like a drum. She didn't dare to imagine what would happen next, so she could only hold the man's hand tightly, hoping that he would give her a sense of security.
Suddenly, the man stopped and pushed open a dilapidated wooden door. Li Meng was pushed into the room, and a musty smell and damp smell came to his face. She looked around and saw that the house was in shambles, with worn furniture, scattered books, and messy clothes. She felt a strong sense of unease and fear, wondering why she was here.
The man lit a dim oil lamp, and the dim light flickered in the room. He turned, revealing a hideous face. Li Meng exclaimed in surprise and took a few steps back. The man pressed closer, his eyes flashing with madness.
"You...... What do you want? Li Meng's voice trembled so much that he could barely hear it.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." The man's tone changed suddenly, and his voice softened. Li Meng couldn't believe her ears, she stared at this person with wide eyes, trying to find some clues from his eyes.
"I know who you are, Li Meng." The man said slowly, "I also know you've been in some trouble lately. ”
Li Meng was stunned, she didn't know how this person knew her name, let alone what the trouble he was talking about. She cautiously asked, "Who are you?" How do you know about me? ”
The man smiled and said, "I'm here to help you." I've heard about you, and I can help you with those troubles. ”
Li Meng's heart moved, and she remembered some things that had happened in the company recently. The head of her department is investigated for corruption, but she is involved because she accidentally discovers some of the supervisor's secrets. She felt as if she had been caught up in a huge whirlpool, unable to extricate herself. Could it be that this person is here to help her out of this whirlpool?
However, she didn't dare to trust this person easily. After all, he seemed so mysterious and dangerous, what if he was here to harm her? She hesitated for a moment, but decided to listen to his plan before making a decision.
"You...... Can you really help me? Li Meng asked tentatively.
"Of course." The man nodded, "Not only can I help you get out of your current predicament, but I can also give you a higher status and more wealth." ”
Li Meng was attracted by his words, and a glimmer of hope rose in her heart. However, she remained vigilant and did not trust him easily. She asked, "What conditions do you have?" ”
The man was silent for a moment, then said, "I need you to do something for me." ”
"What's the matter?" Li Meng asked.
"One thing that is very simple for you." The man smiled slightly, "You just need to give me one document." ”
"What documents?" Li Meng asked.
"An important document about your company." "This document is very important to your company, and if you give it to me, I will help you with all your problems." ”
Li Meng was shocked, she understood the importance of this document. If she did give this document to this person, then she would be at great risk. However, if she didn't give it to him, she couldn't get out of her current predicament. She was caught in a dilemma.
Just then, thunder suddenly rang out outside the house, breaking the silence inside. Li Meng took the opportunity to break free from the man's restraints and rushed towards the door. She knew she had to get out of here as soon as possible, or she would be in an even more dangerous situation.
However, just as she was about to rush out of the door, the man suddenly appeared in front of her. He stretched out his arm to block the doorway, a hideous smile on his face.
"Do you think you'll be able to get away?" He sneered, "I've given you a chance, but you don't cherish it." ”
Li Meng's heart tightened, she knew that she had no way to escape. She can only face this dangerous man head-on, trying to find a ray of life.
"You...... What exactly do you want to do? She asked in a trembling voice.
"What do I want to do?" The man laughed, "Of course I want to get that document." However, if you don't want to hand it over, I have my own solution. ”
Saying,
