The door didn't immediately burst open outside, but I was already as antsy as an ant on a hot pan.
The moment Cheng Yu let go of me, I dashed towards the window without even bothering to straighten my clothes, as fast as an arrow.
Aside from a bed and a bathroom, the room didn't have so much as a wardrobe.
Official types are paranoid about these things, scared shitless that there might be hidden cameras in the unseen spots, leaving them exposed to blackmail; everything in the room is designed to be as simple as possible, with absolutely nowhere to hide.
I pinned all my hopes on the sole remaining window, looking to see if it was possible to climb out and move to the next room.
However, before I could get to the window, Cheng Yu's voice came from behind me.
