BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1399 - A Swift Attack
With a mahjong table and a set of mahjong tiles in tow, it looked like they had planned to keep an eye on them the entire night. They then started playing the game with a bowl of cup noodles in their hands.
Using the firewood they had brought, they started a fire in a paint bucket and placed it in the middle of the room. Directly facing the fire, Yun Xi felt quite warm.
Yun Chuhan wasn’t as lucky. As she was further away, she was shivering uncontrollably from the cold. Also, she really needed the toilet—probably because of all the milk tea she drank at the restaurant.
The four men did not have the time to deal with her, as they were engrossed in their mahjong game.
“Toilet! I need to go to the toilet!”
Yun Chuhan kept shouting at them, and one man finally yelled back at her impatiently, “No one’s free! There’s no toilet here anyway, so just pee in your pants if you want to!”
“...” Yun Chuhan’s face turned red as she tried to control herself. She stomped her feet and struggled, but the urge to pee intensified.
On the other hand, Yun Xi looked relaxed as she leaned on the metal frame behind her. She rested most of her weight on the metal frame so that she could rest her numb and sore feet.
Her hands were tied behind her, but she slowly tried to lift the tail of her down jacket. She had sewn a scalpel in the lower back hem of her coat, so no one had discovered it. Yun Xi could also still get to it when her hands were tied up.
As night fell, the temporary light hanging over the mahjong table illuminated a small area in the room. The firewood crackled and popped as it continued to burn in the paint bucket, and its fire became the only source of warmth in the cold night.
After trying and getting pricked a few times, Yun Xi finally got the scalpel out of the jacket’s lower hems. She then held it carefully in her hand.
If she hadn’t heard car doors closing just now when they went out to get instant noodles, she wouldn’t have thought of fighting back.

Yun Xi initially planned to wait for the mastermind to arrive, as she wanted to see who had the guts to kidnap her. However, as it was getting colder, she really didn’t want to stay any longer.
She would still find out who had planned this kidnapping if she let Team Leader A do the interrogation after she subdued them. With that, she could get out of this place sooner too.
It was a roofless factory building, and Yun Xi could see the moon right above her. With a bright moon and a few stars in the sky, Yun Xi could only roughly predict the time based on the moon’s position.
People would usually get tired at around two or three o’clock in the morning. However, as these four men were playing mahjong, it seemed like they could stay up later than most people.
Yun Chuhan was still tied up. As no one bothered about her request for the toilet, she couldn’t hold it any longer and wet her pants. With the wind blowing through the night, it was so cold that she kept shivering.
This long and slow torture wasn’t any better than hanging around hopelessly waiting.
Yun Xi closed her eyes to rest and opened them again after a short while. As she turned to look at the four men still playing mahjong, they were all starting to yawn.
Knowing that it was almost time, Yun Xi began cutting the ropes tied around her hands. She managed to release herself while they looked away to light their cigarettes. Spinning the scalpel around in her hand, she jumped at the man who had his back facing her and stabbed him in his neck.
Her movements were swift and ruthless. She did not hesitate at all, and she looked just like a murderer who had killed many people. The blade went in clean and came out covered in blood. The man instinctively grabbed his neck, where Yun Xi had stabbed and fell to the ground.
After seeing what had happened, the other three men charged at Yun Xi. They flipped the flimsy mahjong table before them aside, causing it to crash to the floor with a loud bang.
Yun Chuhan was falling asleep when she heard the loud commotion. She woke up with a jolt, and the first thing she saw was Yun Xi stabbing the kidnapper right in his neck. Under the dim yellow lighting, she saw deep red blood spurt from the man’s neck.
Her eyes widened in shock. She didn’t even dare to breathe as she watched Yun Xi swiftly dodge the other three kidnappers.
