I saw Ning Hu's eyes gradually become resolute, and my heart uncontrollably pounded in my chest. I wasn't ready to die.
Just as I was about to say something, a man came running frantically from a distance, "Someone's coming this way, it must be Cheng Yu."
Upon hearing this, Ning Hu scowled and cursed under his breath. I guessed he wasn't bold enough to confront Cheng Yu directly at this moment. Once Cheng Yu got involved, the police would soon hear about it.
The bigger the commotion, the less safe it was for him. Thinking this, a surge of hope suddenly welled up within me.
Ning Hu quickly walked over to me, took out a rope, and tied me up tightly. He then filled a bag with stones and tied the other end of the rope to my foot.
"I…" I had barely uttered a word when Ning Hu sealed my lips with tape.
