Chapter 188 Do You Want to Die

"Does anyone have a hair pin?" Emily turned to ask the girl in the room.

Katherine did not know what she wanted to do, but she removed a water drill hairpin from her hair and
handed it to Emily without hesitation.

Emily shook her head and said,"Not this, I need a black U hairpin."

The hairpin Emily was looking for was one of the most commonly used hairpins. Soon, another girl
handed her several pins. "You... What on earth do you want to do?" she asked.

"Thank you," replied Emily. She took the hairpin and answered,"I want to try and see if I can open that
lock."

All of a sudden, the eyes of every girl lit up with a glimmer of hope. They had never thought of it before.
They only whined and grumbled, instead of thinking of a way to escape. 'What if we succeeded?'
everyone was thrilled by the very idea.

They really wanted to escape. After all, nobody wanted to end up as some rich old man's plaything...

Penny who had teased Emily just now, looked at Emily's attempt to open the lock with a hairpin, and
said, in a disdainful tone,"Hmph, do you think you are Macgyver? If these locks could be opened so
easily..."

Before she had time to finish, she heard a "click". To her surprise, it was the clicking sound of the lock
opening in Emily's palm.

Penny was at a loss for words.

The rest of girls in the warehouse followed suit.



After the dead silence, a cheer of joy burst out in the warehouse,"She's opened it!" Emily really
unlocked it!

For a few seconds, Emily was in a daze. In truth, she didn't expect to the open the lock so easily.

Coincidentally, Jacob was the one who had taught her how to unlock padlocks with a hairpin just to kill
time and boredom. Little did she think that it would come into great use one day.

However, before the girls could celebrate, there was a loud knock on the door, accompanied by the
disgruntled roar of a man,"What are you all screaming about? Do you want me to come in there?"

Immediately, the room went pin-drop silent. All the girls shut their mouths tight and dared not to let a
sound out.

Soon, someone opened the door. A guard came in to inspect. All the girl's hearts stopped beating at
once!

Considering the vicious nature of these man, if they had caught the girls trying to escape, it would be
unimaginable to think what they would do to the girls!

"What are you all yelling about!" the guard shouted. Needless to say, the guard was not happy about all
the commotion. Even these beautiful faces could not calm his anger down. He said angrily,"Do you
want to die?"

When he scanned the room, his eyes caught Emily, who was standing nearest to the window. He
looked at the window again. The lock on the window was still intact. It seemed that there was nothing
unusual about it...

"Hey... There are cockroaches here!" Emily said, to distract the guard's attention. With a fragile voice,
Emily sounded like she was crying. In truth, she was extremely nervous.



The guard came in so abruptly that she pressed the lock as fast as she could, and hid all her hairpins.
She was not sure whether the guard had noticed anything odd or not.

"Yes, there are cockroaches here!" The girls were just as nervous as Emily, fearing that the guard
would catch on to their little plan. So they echoed Emily's words, which successfully distracted the
attention of the guard. "Please spray some insecticide..." they pleaded.

"You want insecticides! Why don't you say you want to go to heaven!" Impatient, the guard was not in
the mood to entertain their complains. These women were all beautiful, but none of them belonged to
him. Why would he care about them? "If I hear you screaming again, I will personally shove these
cockroaches in your mouths one by one and make you eat them!"

Frightened and subdued, the girls lowered their heads and cowered in fear, without uttering another
word.

Soon, the guard went out, satisfied. He locked the door behind him again.

Ironically, the sound of the lock clicking from outside came as a big relief to the girls this time.

"Shh..." Emily put her finger on her lip, motioning the girls not to make noise. Then she unlocked the
lock again,"Click".

Everyone's eyes were gleaming with excitement, as they covered their mouths tightly and stared at the
window with great anticipation.

Emily lifted her feet and slowly opened the window. The night breeze blew coolly into her face. It made
her shiver. "Outside... There is no one outside. Who wants to get out first?" she asked.

The girls scrambled all at once. Emily felt powerless and she whispered,"Don't scramble. Get out one
by one, and you have to cooperate."



She was right. This window was a bit high for the girls. Someone had to act as a step under it.
Otherwise, the wall was too slippery for the girls to climb up.

Fortunately, after this experience, Emily had become the bastion of hope for these girls. Everyone was
willing to listen to her and follow her instructions obediently.

As soon as one girl knelt down to act as a ladder, the first girl finally climbed out successfully. She
cautiously took a few steps ahead and observed carefully, then she leaned back to the window.
Exhilarated, she found it difficult to keep her voice down, but she did it anyway. She whispered,"It's a
suburb outside. I don't see any guards. Come out quickly! I will pull you up!"

Emily shook her head in disapproval as she said,"It doesn't matter. You need to leave as soon as you
can. In case we get caught, those who manages to get out should leave first!"

The girl hesitated, then decided against leaving them. "I will be here, just in case if you need my help."

She was adamant and unwilling to leave the other girls behind.

Emily sighed. She had no other choice, but deep down. She admired the girl for her selflessness.

The girls who did not climb out, took turns to act as ladders, and soon the number of girls in the room
began to decrease...

Everyone was mute, as if they were pretending to be a mime artist.

Emily helped the girls out one by one, with sweat on her forehead, and a smile on her face. With each
girl making an escape, she felt great satisfaction.

And her mother... She would definitely find a way to help her out!

Katherine came up and took Emily's place, and asked Emily to take a break.



Emily then noticed Penny who was acting strange. Sceptical, Emily asked,"Don't you want to go?"

Penny sneered,"Idiot!"

"Huh?" Emily couldn't understand Penny's behavior.

Having lost all patience, Katherine ignored Penny. "You don't have to pay attention to her. Maybe she
wants to stay here and find a rich man?" she scoffed.

Katherine was being sarcastic, but unexpectedly what she said had turned out to be a prophecy in the
end.

Eventually, Emily, Katherine and Penny were the last ones left. Emily persuaded Penny to leave, but
Katherine pulled her away. "I'm going to give you a boost. You get out first, and then pull me up," said
Katherine.

Emily nodded, and said,"Okay."

Suddenly, Penny grabbed her hands firmly. Her lips raised demonic smile. She screamed out,"Anybody
there? Guards! They are escaping! Did you hear me! These women are escaping!"

Penny's loud and shrill voice crashed into Emily's eardrums. Emily's heart pounded in her chest, as she
realized halfway that her "ladder" was no longer under her foot. As a consequence, she fell to the
ground and landed on her back!
