Chapter 841: Find a Way to Escape
In the dim environment, she saw clearly that Amu’s eyes were calm yet filled with a murderous intent.
It must be dangerous outside.
Shana’s hands and eyes felt as if they had been scalded by fire, experiencing an acute momentary pain.
She withdrew her hand, feeling the sticky wetness at her fingertips.
Bringing her hand up to her face, she opened her eyes wide but couldn’t discern anything.
However, there was a faint smell of blood at the tip of her nose, like stepping into a void in a dream. Her heart sank abruptly, as she clutched Amu’s arm tightly.
"Amu, were you shot?!"
Amu did not respond.
Seeing this, Shana felt a jolt in her heart.
She trembled and reached again to touch Amu’s arm, but Amu grabbed her hand and gently shushed her.
"Just got hit by shattered glass, please don’t move around, okay?"
It turned out to be just shattered glass, so it might not be a serious injury.
Shana let out a long breath of relief, feeling reassured.
At this moment, there came light yet urgent voices from outside, intermingled with the cold clash of metal items, someone was gently tapping on the burglar-proof window’s railing, the sound was small but strikingly unsettling.
The lurking ominous threat around them made Shana’s scalp tingle, as she clung tightly to Amu’s neck and asked:
"I wonder how my father is?"
"Don’t worry, he has the guard team protecting him, he won’t be in trouble." Amu gently reassured her.
Shana knew Amu was actually comforting her since Sha Dong’s people came in such an aggressive manner, clearly aiming to take her father’s life.
But just waiting here wasn’t a solution.
Shana felt a cold shiver ripple down her spine, as she desperately and frantically searched herself: "Where’s my phone, where’s my phone, call the police quickly call the police..."
"Call the police?" Amu held Shana’s hand, speaking a fact in a low voice; "Do you know who Sha Dong is, will calling the police help?"
"..."
Shana instantly felt as if she was immobilized, blood rushing to her head, her hand frozen in mid-air.
"Are we just waiting to die like this?" She thought of her father, thought of her mother, tears quickly welling up in her eyes.
Normally, she fears nothing, but at this moment she was indeed afraid, especially worried about her dad and mom.
"If my prediction is correct, President Shi Mai’er has already called the allied nations, I believe they will try to rescue him. However, we must find a way to escape Sha Dong’s pursuit before they arrive, otherwise falling into his hands would be very dangerous..."
The two were speaking when suddenly there was a soft sound in the ear, Shana was startled, raised her head to look around, but found no anomalies.
Amu observed for a while, then softly explained: "The power has been cut off, the security and defense systems of this house might be down as well, this is troublesome, I thought we could rely on this system until dawn, it seems we must find a way to get out."
Shana tightened her grip on Amu’s hand, saying nothing, trying to gather enough courage to resist her inner fear.
Soon, unsettling grinding sounds came from the direction of the living room, sending chills down one’s spine at night.
"Miss Shana, stay put, I’ll go check."
Amu broke away from Shana’s grasp.
Shana held her breath as she watched Amu crawl across the space in front of the window, disappearing at the bedroom door.
Outside, the grinding noise continued.
Gradually, Shana started to understand the situation.
It sounded like the burglar-proof window was being pried open, these people were determined, they would definitely be inside before dawn.
Amu soon returned, stuffing a servant uniform and a long object into Shana’s hand.
