Quick Wear: Another day of being criticized for falling in love at first sight

Chapter 1114 A Passerby Cannon Fodder in an Infinite Flow Dimension (Part 37)

Xie Chenzhou understood almost instantly that Harris was fearless.

He was almost certain that the police would not find any evidence, and that they might even have installed something dangerous at the residence.

Xie Chenzhou wasn't afraid of his own danger; what he was afraid of was Miaomiao being in danger. Most likely, Miaomiao was currently under control, and some psychopathic killers might even create self-destruct programs that he didn't want to see in order to destroy evidence. Once they sensed danger, they would take action against Miaomiao.

The original plan to detain them for 24 hours is clearly no longer feasible.

Therefore, we must change our strategy and go back with Harris in person!

Only by taking control of the situation at close range can we protect Miaomiao immediately and also take the opportunity to investigate his residence and find what he needs.

Having made up his mind, Xie Chenzhou spoke slowly, his tone revealing no emotional fluctuation.

“Mr. Harris, my colleague just checked the case file again and found a mistake. The missing evidence has been found elsewhere, but you had already left at that time and we couldn’t contact you. We’re sorry you made a wasted trip.”

Harris was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting this outcome. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and the tense muscles in his body relaxed, his expression changing to one of gratitude.

"It's no trouble at all, I'm just glad I could help."

"However, since you're here, there is indeed a small issue that requires your cooperation, concerning your company. Please wait a moment."

After Xie Chenzhou finished speaking, he went out and picked up a copy of the report from that morning about how an employee of Harris Company got into an argument with someone while installing surveillance cameras, resulting in the person being beaten and hospitalized.

That wasn't his responsibility, but he happened to run into the colleague in charge when he came back, and he took a copy of the interrogation report.

When he returned, Xie Chenzhou was even carrying two cups of coffee. He handed one to Harris and began his all-night interrogation.

Harris, who had thought he could go back immediately, looked rather displeased after hearing what his company's employees had done.

It was already past ten o'clock, and at this hour, his children hadn't even gone to the bathroom to wash up yet. His wife had just arrived, and it was unclear whether she was adjusting well...

Moreover, as it got later and later, especially with that still steaming cup of coffee, Harris's expression turned rather unpleasant.

"Don't worry, it's just a simple question. After that, I'll personally take you back, since we've disturbed your rest."

Xie Chenzhou's voice was gentle and soothing, which calmed Harris's agitated emotions somewhat.

But he truly hadn't expected that what seemed like a conversation about his subordinates would turn into such a long and tedious discussion...

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the underground chamber did not improve because the two little ones were asleep; on the contrary, it became even more oppressive.

The room was too dark, but the sound of the exhaust fan was still quite loud.

Fortunately, her strength seemed to have recovered a little. Although she was still weak, Miaomiao quietly clenched her fists, as if knocking someone out with one punch was not a difficult task.

It's likely that the game mistook her for an ordinary player, and she was drugged and knocked unconscious upon entering, so the confinement was achieved using the original drug's effects.

But plans don't always go as expected. The mosaic didn't give her dinner, so the medicine that was supposed to be in her dinner didn't reach Miaomiao. Instead, it helped her recover her strength.

Of course, due to the constraints of the game, Miaomiao is unlikely to recover to her peak condition within two days.

But a player who could normally kill a bull with one punch can only kill it with ten punches at most when weakened.

An ordinary player might not be able to kill a bull even after 100 punches. That's the difference. This difference causes Miaomiao's weakness to be different from the weakness the game system perceives.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse...

Miaomiao was originally planning to take a short nap amidst the rattling sounds, but she was soon awakened by a slight noise beside her.

It was the little boy who had warned her to be careful; he seemed to be in great pain, curled up on the bed, shivering.

Miaomiao raised her hand and could even feel the fine cold sweat on the little boy's forehead, and he was occasionally letting out suppressed sobs.

The slightly older boy next to Miaomiao lay motionless like a lifeless sculpture, showing no reaction to any noise around him, or rather, he dared not react.

"what happened to you?"

Miaomiao asked in a low voice, reaching out to gently pat the boy's back to comfort him.

But as soon as she reached out, the boy flinched like a startled rabbit. The dim light from the surveillance camera wasn't enough for them to see each other clearly, but from his silhouette, Miaomiao knew the boy was crying; his voice was trembling uncontrollably.

"I'm...I'm sorry, Dad, I didn't mean to..."

But I drank too much water at noon today, and I think...

Miaomiao vaguely understood something. In other worlds, there are children who can't control their urination, but in this world, they have to restrain all their behavior.

Miaomiao remembers that besides a mattress, a wooden table, and a few stools, there wasn't even a toilet in the room.

"Or, you could stay in the corner for now..."

Miaomiao tried to speak in a gentle voice.

The boy shook his head, not daring to speak too loudly, as if needing to urinate was some unforgivable sin.

"No, Daddy will be angry. Good children don't wet the bed or make a mess of the house."

Miaomiao gritted her teeth. Who could remain vigilant towards cubs?

We have no choice but to take a gamble. If things continue like this, the child will definitely develop health problems. At worst, if she can't beat that man, she can run away and no one should be able to catch her.

Miaomiao took a deep breath and sat up. Clearly, she hadn't eaten anything with added ingredients, and her strength had recovered quite well.

Using the dim light from the surveillance camera, Miaomiao reached the door. At least the door could be opened from the outside, and she couldn't worry about that now.

She exhaled and kicked the door hard.

With a muffled thud, the wooden door was kicked open by Miaomiao, falling to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Logically speaking, the sound should have been quite loud at night, but at this moment, it was quiet outside, with no one walking around.

Miaomiao was glad that she had good hearing. It seemed that the person hadn't returned yet. Miaomiao preferred normal people to dealing with perverts.

She breathed a sigh of relief, bent down to pick up the still trembling boy, and staggered towards the door.

She had only taken a few steps when she noticed the stairs ahead. It was just as dark outside. Miaomiao walked carefully, but then she discovered that the path beneath her feet suddenly began to slope upwards, forming an upward staircase.

"You can't go out, Dad will be angry."

The little boy huddled in Miaomiao's arms, frightened, which revealed a touch of childlike innocence.

Perhaps it was a stroke of luck, but the stairs weren't very long, but there was a wooden plank on top. Miaomiao pushed hard and managed to push the plank off.

After she climbed up with her child, she discovered that the wooden plank was originally locked. She wondered if the person who "mosaiced" it had done so in a hurry that they hadn't locked it, thus letting them out.

Even the most powerful person, once locked up, is like a ferocious beast without its claws and teeth.
