There might have been someone outside. Chen Ge felt it was too risky to open the door, but he had no better option.
This was an opportunity—one he couldn't afford to miss.
"Ying Chen hasn't gone far. There's a good chance the person outside is a trap, waiting for me to open the door and walk right into it."
The cat's cries could warn him about Ying Chen, but they couldn't do anything about Ying Chen's accomplice. Chen Ge knew that from experience. Earlier, The Child had pushed him down from upstairs without making a sound. Only at the very end had The Child revealed his fangs.
"There are two possibilities. First, Ying Chen and his accomplice are each watching the doors to Mr. Wood's and Miss Red's apartments. Second, Ying Chen is hiding somewhere in the hallway, while his accomplice is still here, standing outside my door. Those things Ying Chen said just now were all meant for me to hear."
Chen Ge considered the two possibilities over and over. For an ordinary person, the best choice now would be to stay in Lady Skirt's apartment. The murderous maniac had a key to this room, but as long as Chen Ge barricaded the door, things should be all right.
But that would mean giving up the initiative entirely. Ying Chen could use that time to do all sorts of things.
Chen Ge's stamina was limited. He had barely managed to hold on this long, and the longer this dragged on, the greater the chance that something would go wrong.
What worried him more were Mr. Wood and Miss Red. Ying Chen was utterly inhuman and capable of anything.
If even one of the three ran into trouble, it would become much harder for Ying Tong to open his eyes
