Chapter 21 She's Surrounded!

She tried to steady her breathing, first sending a message to A-Ming.

Then she sent a message to Fang Yue as well.

Bai Xiaoya could only hope that Fang Yue had just returned to his room and hadn't entered the game yet, otherwise, things would be troublesome.

But strangely, the message… didn't send.

Looking closely at the upper right corner of her phone, the signal… was actually blocked!

Bai Xiaoya's face immediately darkened.

The other party was prepared!

While Bai Xiaoya was thinking, the thief in the living room wasn't idle either.

She was rummaging for something, her movements a bit clumsy, making a lot of slight clanging noises.

A person who was normally asleep wouldn't be able to hear this level of noise.

And those who had entered the game would be even less likely to hear it.

Soon, the female thief had roughly swept through the living room.

But strangely, she didn't steal anything. Instead, she swept her gaze towards the kitchen and living room, and quickly walked in.

Bai Xiaoya became even more certain that the other party was coming for her! Coming for… the jade pendant on her chest!

"It's someone sent by those guys!"

Her brain started working, and Bai Xiaoya took a deep breath, knowing she had to do something. Sitting and waiting for death wasn't her style.

She weighed the difference in strength between herself, who had grown up in a greenhouse, and a professional like the female thief, and quickly dismissed the idea of going out and fighting her.

Then what was left was to escape, or to seek help.

Escaping naturally meant running from the window of the room, but the fire escape rope was in the living room, which put her in a dead loop again.

And seeking help naturally meant asking Fang Yue for help, but he was in his room, and she didn't know if the door was locked…

It was highly likely to be locked, because she had heard Fang Yue lock the door when he entered the room before.

"First go to the window and see if there's a suitable escape route."

Tiptoeing, she slowly moved away from the door, then came to the window, opened it, and the sound of the wind made her heart almost stop.

Fortunately, she looked back nervously and listened. The female thief seemed to still be rummaging in the kitchen and hadn't heard the wind here.

She poked her head out of the window and looked down. Even someone who wasn't afraid of heights was about to develop a fear of heights.

Falling from such a high floor would definitely mean death.

Fortunately, her room and Yuan-jie's room were very close, so close that as long as she stepped on the window and took a step to the left, she could step on Yuan-jie's window.

Fortunately, Yuan-jie was careless and often didn't close the window, which came in handy at this time.

And her room and Fang Yue's room were quite far apart.

Otherwise, she would have preferred to go to Fang Yue's room, and all the problems would be solved.

Although visually, she could cross the window and reach Yuan-jie's room, it was only visual, and she didn't know what the actual operation would be.

She first retreated back to the room and observed the situation outside the peephole.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The female thief had already rummaged from the kitchen to the living room, and the next step… was the bedroom!

Bai Xiaoya's door was locked, but since the thief could even get in through the front door, the lock on the bedroom was naturally no problem.

Watching the female thief walk around in the living room, Bai Xiaoya's heart was in her throat. She needed to create a time difference.

She would stay in her room while the female thief was opening the door to Yuan-jie's room.

And when the female thief was opening the lock on her room, she would escape from the window to Yuan-jie's room.

In theory, as long as she operated properly, she could perfectly avoid the female thief.

But it was just theory after all… Bai Xiaoya had no confidence in her skills.

Clearly, a master was right next door, but she couldn't call out, couldn't notify him.

Why, why did Fang Yue enter the game so early!

Bai Xiaoya couldn't help but complain in her heart, completely forgetting that if it wasn't for this, she should have entered the game as well.

Tap tap tap…

Footsteps came from the living room, and under Bai Xiaoya's gaze, the female thief looked at the room and walked towards… Fang Yue's room!

Bai Xiaoya's heart beat violently, with a hint of excitement—the female thief was courting death!

"Yes, quickly open Fang Yue's door, so you can wake him up!"

To Bai Xiaoya's expectation, the sound of unlocking and opening the door didn't sound. Instead, the female thief scratched her head, seeming a bit obsessive-compulsive, hesitating about which bedroom to start stealing from.

In the end, the female thief walked towards… Yuan-jie's room!

Bai Xiaoya focused all her attention and listened intently.

She only heard a creaking sound, followed by a click… in no more than three seconds, the door to Yuan-jie's bedroom was opened.

Three seconds… three seconds wasn't enough time for me to jump to the next window!

Her heart sank, and Bai Xiaoya knew she couldn't keep wasting time like this.

She suddenly opened the locked door and rushed out with a whoosh.

Dong!

Because she used too much force, the opened door hit the wall, making a loud noise.

But Bai Xiaoya wanted the loud noise. While screaming 'Ahhhhh,' she rushed to the kitchen, grabbed a knife, held it with both hands, and pointed the blade outwards, turning to look at Yuan-jie's room.

At this moment, Bai Xiaoya had two choices.

The first was to escape directly out of the house and run outside.

There were more people outside, so the other party shouldn't make a move.

The only problem was that she was worried that with her physique, she would be caught before she could run to the elevator.

But Bai Xiaoya still went to try.

She quickly went to the front door and tried to open it, and her face changed.

No matter how she twisted the doorknob, the door wouldn't budge!

She… was trapped in the house!

Without any hesitation, Bai Xiaoya immediately executed the second option.

That was to knock frantically on Fang Yue's door and create a loud noise to make Fang Yue quit the game.

Perhaps the female thief was also worried about something. Ever since Bai Xiaoya screamed, the female thief hadn't come out of Yuan-jie's room.

She couldn't help but become suspicious.

Could it be that the female thief had run away?

But this was a high-rise building! Jumping down or something… No! If it was someone hired by those guys, fully equipped, using equipment to jump down from a high-rise building wouldn't be a problem.

Bai Xiaoya frowned. She raised the knife while quickly moving to Fang Yue's room, then knocked hard on the door and shouted.

But there was no movement inside the room.

Her expression was ugly, and her heart sank.

She looked at her phone, and the signal was still blocked, which meant that the female thief was still in the room, she hadn't left!

A chill surged into her heart.

"Fang Yue! Fang Yue!! Come out quickly, help! Help! There's a thief in the house!"

Bai Xiaoya tried to downplay the situation, hoping to stabilize the female thief.

But at this moment, the female thief actually came out of her room!

After being stunned for a moment, Bai Xiaoya understood.

The thief had actually taken the route she had envisioned before.

She jumped from the window of Yuan-jie's room to the window of her room, and then walked out of her room!

"You, don't come over!"
