Should we take them? They might be useful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Chen Zihao looked at the contents of the paper and said: \"Perhaps these are the methods that guy uses to control people. Let’s take them; we might find a way to break the control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three packed up these items, preparing to leave the small cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they intended to push the door open and leave, they discovered that the door was actually locked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the other side of the lock was inside the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Tian frowned and said: \"What’s going on? It was clearly open when we came in just now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Chen Zihao also felt surprised: \"Could it be that someone was secretly following us, discovered we were here, and locked the door?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Ding Xiaoyu looked around fearfully: \"What should we do? Are we just going to be trapped here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Tian looked at the locked door, pondered for a moment, and said: \"Let’s not panic; the key now is to find a way to open this door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps we can look around the room to see if there are any tools we can use to pick the lock.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three began searching the room for tools to pick the lock, but the room was truly too cramped, and there were not many usable things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Chen Zihao found an iron rod in a corner... CHAPTER 947\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He tried to use it to pry the lock, but the iron rod was too thick and could not be inserted into the keyhole at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Ding Xiaoyu picked up a pair of scissors from the table and suggested: \"How about we try this? Although the chances are slim, it’s better than doing nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Tian nodded: \"Let’s try it then; we don’t have any other options anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Ding Xiaoyu carefully inserted the tip of the scissors into the keyhole, trying to twist it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tip of the scissors was too fragile, and it snapped after a few twists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook her head in disappointment: \"It seems this won't work either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Chen Chen Zihao suddenly thought of something; he took a thin piece of wire out of his pocket and said: \"I picked this up earlier; perhaps we can use it to pick the lock.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Tian said happily: \"Good idea, try it quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Chen Zihao bent the wire into a hook shape and carefully inserted it into the keyhole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned the wire with force while holding the doorknob, trying to twist it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, they heard a crisp \"click\" sound, and the lock opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Tian patted Chen Chen Zihao on the shoulder: \"Well done, we can finally leave this place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They walked out of the small cabin, carefully looking around, fearing that someone might be watching in secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they stepped out of the cabin, they saw the driver’s ferocious face; he was holding a sharp kitchen knife and charging over crazily, seemingly wanting to kill them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Tian shouted: \"Run!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Chen Zihao and Ding Ding Xiaoyu also panicked and scattered, trying to get away from the crazy driver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forest was filled with an atmosphere of terror, and the pitch-black night made it impossible to distinguish directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They used all their strength, running along the winding path, wanting to escape the terrifying pursuer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Chen Zihao ran while panting, saying to Chu Tian: \"We have to find a way to shake him off, otherwise we’ll be caught by him sooner or later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Tian replied with a bitter smile: \"I want to shake him off too, but he’s chasing us too closely. We have to think of a way to lose him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Ding Ding Xiaoyu shouted from ahead: \"I see a small hillside in front; we can try running along the hillside, maybe we can lose him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three wove through the dense forest and finally found the small hillside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They unanimously decided to run up the hillside, hoping to use the terrain to lose the terrifying driver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They ran up the hillside, their pace becoming increasingly difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hillside was covered with dead branches, fallen leaves, and soft soil; they had to be extra careful with every step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the driver was still behind them, the distance seemed to be slowly widening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Ding Xiaoyu panted and said: \"We’ve been running for a long time; we should be able to hide for a while now and think about our next plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Tian nodded: \"Let’s find a place to hide and see if he can still find us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three found a relatively hidden spot and hid, evading the driver’s pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They held their breath in the woods, worried about being discovered by the other party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, they discovered that the driver indeed did not approach them again; he seemed to have lost his target for the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Chen Zihao wiped his sweat and said: \"What should we do now? We can’t just keep hiding here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Tian pondered for a moment and said: \"We must find a way to break the control over the driver as soon as possible. The materials we found in the cabin earlier might provide some clues.\" CHAPTER 948\u003C\u002Fp>",1298,"2026-06-16T02:42:12.836Z","2026-06-16T02:45:46.645Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","43e399e1f339340233169c9ae7aa8294211f31fc793dafbab8d23a65755ac4a4","hong-kong-movies-ordered-to-collect-debts-i-bury-chapter-440","hong-kong-movies-ordered-to-collect-debts-i-bury-chapter-438",448,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhong-kong-movies-ordered-to-collect-debts-i-bury-cover.jpg"]
