"When have I ever lied about anything? That's what the young couple said," Dr. Pei stated.
"The doors here are locked at night; how would they get in? Let alone take us out"
Fang Zhengyang also expressed his disbelief. It wasn't that he didn't trust Dr. Pei; rather, he didn't trust the two individuals Dr. Pei was talking about.
Another man, slightly shorter in height, also paced restlessly in front of them.
He had been longing to leave this place for a long time. Today, when Pei Yuan notified him, he was overjoyed, but as the night deepened and the two people hadn't arrived yet, he couldn't help feeling anxious.
"Could those two have gotten lost?"
The man muttered, stroking his chin.
"Yingjie, stop pacing. Save your strength, we might need to run for our lives later!" Dr. Pei said.
Although they had food and shelter here, the meals provided were pitifully meager, with only some thin porridge and dry crackers twice a day.
