Bang, bang, bang.
Someone knocked on the door, and the color slowly drained from Lao Liu's face as he lay on the floor.
He really had come over!
He had heard him fall.
"Boss, are you there? Open up. I need to talk to you about something."
The man's voice was very low, as though he were suppressing some emotion.
Lao Liu didn't want to respond, but the man had a Tool Hammer. If he forced him to break down the door, there would be no room left to defuse the situation.

"Have you really been kidnapped?"
"Don't be afraid. I'll smash the door down and save you right away. Keep yourself safe!"
Lao Liu couldn't stay put any longer. He hurriedly scrambled to his feet.
"Coming, coming! I'm fine."
He opened the door.

He patted Lao Liu's shoulder with a look of concern. "Thank goodness. I thought you were in danger. As long as you're all right."
Lao Liu plastered a smile on his face.

Lao Liu's smile stiffened.
