Evil Awe-Inspiring

The other end of the phone is silent for a while. It seems that there are some noises around, and some kind of machine roars. Then the man’s voice comes intermittently: “Wait a minute, don’t hang up.”

Ten seconds later, the voice becomes clearer and the noises disappears. This man seems to have moved to a quieter environment.

“Chen Yang?”

I’m shocked that he knows my name, but then he says immediately: “Don’t be surprised, your name has been registered all over the south since last night.”

I laugh bitterly and say nothing.

“I know a little about your messes. I don’t ask where you are now. I just want to tell you that you need to call me at the same this time tomorrow. I’ll arrange an escape route for you then.” At the other end of the phone, this man is speaking in a very indifferent tone and has no emotion at all, just saying to me dryly.

I do not speak. The other end is suddenly sneering: “Why? Do not trust in me? Since Jim asked you to call me on this phone, you should trust me absolutely. Otherwise, you don’t have to make this call.”

“All right.” I sigh and say slowly, “Tomorrow morning, I’ll call you again.”

Then I hang up the phone. There is some confusion in my heart.

All over the south, my name is registered? These guys are really big-handed!

I’m still sitting on the toilet, laughing bitterly and dazed.

I still have some doubts. Why did they run to the railway station to catch me so quickly last night?

After thinking for a while, I pick up the mobile phone and dial another number.

This is the number I left to Didi. The phone is ringing only once, then connected.

“Brother Little 5? Chen Yang, is that you?” Her voice is very exciting on the phone.

“Well, it’s me.” I whisper, “Are you all right?”

“I… I’m fine. Are you all right? How are you doing? Where are you now?”

“Not bad,” I hesitate and say, “I can’t tell you where I am. It’s for your good. By the way, is Nanny there? You give the phone to her.”

There’s a silence on the other end of the phone, then Nanny’s voice comes.

Her voice is obviously trembling, but she is pretending to be calm.

“Now what’s the situation on your side?” I ask in a low voice.

“Not bad.” Nanny is smiling bitterly and saying, “In the middle of last night, Yumi called me and said they had found your address and identity, and already know you were my company’s person. She told me to be careful, but they dared not to touch me. By the way, Didi and the other girl are all in my uncle’s home. This is the family area led by the army, high security level, guarded by army sentries. Outside people can not enter here. You can rest assured. I will live here these days, and my family is no longer safe too.”

I’m greatly relieved to hear that the girls have been safely transferred and arranged.

Then I ask her the question in my heart. I want to know whether she knows something.

To my surprise, she answers my question!

Because last night when Yumi called her, she said that the tactics used to track me were very clever!

It turns out that the Jimmy Chou is a cunning fellow. On the one hand, he sent people to track down the telephone records in Dorra’s mobile phone. On the other hand, almost the first time, he sent people to all long-distance stations, railway station, wharfs and the airport for blockade! All the people who went there did not even know my identity or my name, but they all got the description of my appearance! There were even superb graphic experts according to the descriptions of two bodyguards who had met me and drew the picture of my general appearance at the first time!

There is no doubt that he was acting wisely. He didn’t wait for find out my exact identity before pursuing me. Instead, he sent people to block the traffic places at the first time. This was just in case, but he almost caught me!

But Nanny also says that Yumi could not provide us any help now, and for the sake of safety, Yumi could not contact Nanny for the time being.

Because I’ve been found out that I’m an employee of Nanny’s company. And Jimmy Chou knows the relationships between Yumi and Nanny.

I think Jimmy Chou might be surprised. The guy who caused him a lot of trouble is a young man who once met him before.

Having said all this, Nanny is hesitating for a moment and saying: “Would you like to say something to Didi? She’s been waiting for your call since last night. She hasn’t had a minute’s rest, just waiting for your call.”

I’m feeling a sudden acid in my heart, and I don’t know what it likes.

I take a deep breath: “OK!” Nanny immediately gives the phone to Didi.

“Didi,” I try to say in my calmest voice, “Listen, take care of yourself and be safe! Just take good care of yourself!”

Every time I say a word, she gives a gentle grace on the other end of the phone.

“… I’ll check it when I get back. If you lose weight or lose a hair, I’ll be upset, you know?”

“… Em!” Didi still doesn’t talk on the other end of the phone.

“I’ll be fine. You can rest assured of that. I’ll go back as soon as possible.” I think and say, “If it’s convenient, I’ll get in touch with you.”

“… Um…” Didi is still silent, but the voice is trembling as if is choking.

Afterwards, despite all my distress, I hang up the phone.

I’m sitting on the toilet and feeling ghastly in my heart. Even I’ve got through the phone Jim left me today.

But I don’t think it can help me solve any problems, maybe just help me escape at most.

How can I solve this problem?

Jim is under Juan, and Juan is under the big boss. So basically, I don’t have to count on Juan to help me out. The only possibility at hand is just one word: escape!

I’m feeling so aweful that I just lock the door, undress and take a shower.

There’s no hot water in the early morning. But I don’t care. The shower head comes out of the cold water, and I’m just standing under it, letting the cold water washing my body, and then suddenly laughing like a psychotic.

Under the cold water, I’m beginning to shiver, but then I rub my body hard to adapt to the freezing cold water. My expression is grim, face twisting and my laughter is growing louder and louder.

FXXX! Come on, just come to me! Who wants my life, I’ll take yours first!

When I come out of the bathroom, I see Dorra is sitting at the end of the bed, curling up in the quilt. She’s looking at me in a panic.

“What’s up?” I ask her.

“Your laughter inside just now, it was really scarry!” The girl is saying cringingly.

I don’t anwser, just find out a clean coat and put it on. Then I leave a word to her: “Don’t talk, don’t walk around and don’t call.” Then I leave the room again.

On the way, I look for a stall and buy a hat to wear. It’s an old-fashioned cap, looks silly, but I don’t care about it at the moment. At least when I wear this cap, as long as my head is a little drooping down, it’s hard for others to see my face clearly.

I’ve been to HaiCity several times. I can easily find the subway station to go to the railway station.

Despite the previous call, that man asked me to call him tomorrow and he also said that he would help me arranging the way to escape. But my habit is not to place the hope on others!

I’m used to doing more preparations! There must be a plan B.

When I arrive the railway station, at the long waiting line in front of more than a dozen of ticket windows, hesitate for a while, think over it, I go out again.

The railway station is very big. There is a big square outside. On both sides of the square is the underground entrance of the subway. I go cross the square at will and immediately surrounded by many chatterers.

“Boss, do you need a certificate? Absolutely looks like real!”

“Boss, do you want a train ticket?”

I ignore them, and then go to a corner. Here comes another kid, about seventeen or eighteen years old, who looks like a local rascal. When he sees me coming, he also goes toward me and whispers: “Boss, do you want cigarettes?”

I’m laughing.

I’m not surprised that there are many such people in any city’s railway stations. I think about it, say to the kid: “Do me a favor. I’ll give you one hundred.”

“Well?” His eyes are shinning, “What’s it?”

I point to the railway station in front of us: “You go to the ticket window to help me queue up and buy a ticket, and then bring it back to me. I will give you a hundred. That’s the deal. How do you think?”

“Just this thing? OK!” He looks surprised.

I take out my wallet and pull out some banknotes: “The train to Rooyan City, N638 tonight, two regular seats.”

The boy takes the money from my hand, hesitates to look around and whispers: “Boss, I have a way to help you buy the berth tickets, do you want it? Absolutely true ticket! I won’t fool you with the fake tickets! I have some connections with the ticket office!”

I laugh: “OK! If you can buy me the berth tickets, no matter how much it costs, I’ll give you an extra two hundred.”

That kid is running away happily. I just wait in a fast-food restaurant behind the square and look out at the scenes behind the glass window.
