Chapter 363: Unusual Commotion

Zong Mengni woke up again from a dream in the middle of the night, feeling as if she had had a terrible dream; she remembered that, it seemed, many people were chasing her in the dream.

Zong Mengni ran forward desperately, but when she reached the front, she suddenly discovered that she had entered an endless abyss, and finally Zong Mengni was startled awake.

She wiped her forehead with her hand, and without realizing, her forehead was covered in sweat, drenched, which really made him feel unable to fall asleep again.

Fortunately, she sat up from the bed, then turned on the light and took a look; now it was already 2 a. m.

Zong Mengni remembered clearly that when she first fell asleep it was midnight; now only two hours had passed, yet she suddenly felt completely awake again.

He was walking back and forth in the room, and at that moment Zong Mengni suddenly heard something moving outside.

After Zong Mengni heard the noise, he immediately became alert; thus she quietly hid behind the curtains and then took a look outside.

He clearly saw a black shadow flash past in front of him, and therefore his heart began to pound.

How could a black shadow appear here in the middle of the night? It's obvious that someone must have ill intentions.

Moreover, tonight in the design room, aside from herself being here, there were only two guards stationed at the entrance.

However, it's obvious that under these circumstances it definitely wouldn't be the guards; moreover, he had previously warned the guards that there was no need to come to his place at night.

Then who exactly could this person be? And why would he suddenly appear here in the middle of the night?

After Zong Mengni thought of this, she quickly slipped over and then relocked the office door from inside.

Now Zong Mengni could confirm that the room was completely locked by her, but she still felt uneasy in her heart.

She heard footsteps outside, and although the footsteps seemed to be fading away, she then suddenly noticed that the footsteps were getting louder.

After all, she is a girl; encountering this situation in the middle of the night, one might ask, he simply has no way to cope with any of this.

Thus he hurriedly went into the inner room, took out his phone, and directly dialed Zong Long's number,

but the phone gave an unavailable tone.

When he frantically dialed again, he found that the phone was still unavailable.

At this moment, it seemed Zong Mengni had already fallen into despair.

No, if she continued like this, she really didn't know whether that person would suddenly break in; she had no way to face any of this.

Moreover, at this moment Zong Mengni couldn't think of anyone more suitable; the only person she could think of was Xiao Yunzhe.

So he merely adopted a "let's try" attitude; although it was already the middle of the night, he didn't know where Xiao Yunzhe was at this time.

But by now Zong Mengni couldn't worry about such things; she simply dialed Xiao Yunzhe's number directly.

After a few rings, Xiao Yunzhe quickly answered the call.

"Hello, Mengni, what's wrong?"

Actually Xiao Yunzhe also felt strange, because just now he had looked up and seen that the wall clock pointed to 2 a. m.; at this time, why would Zong Mengni be calling him?

"Yunzhe, where are you?"

Zong Mengni said in a panic over the phone, and Xiao Yunzhe naturally could tell that his tone was definitely off.

"Oh, let me tell you, I'm currently at the company, working overtime; what's wrong with you? Where are you?"

"I, I'm currently in my studio, and I heard what sounded like someone walking outside the studio; could you please come over?"

"What did you say? Someone nearby? Okay, stay where you are; make sure you lock the door—no matter what happens, remember, do not open it; I'm rushing over right now."

Xiao Ming was also rather flustered, and he felt as if something were about to happen.

Wu Pengqing had been listening to the phone nearby, and finally he raised his head to look at him.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Teacher Wu, I have something urgent here; moreover, a girl outside has encountered some danger—can I...?"

"Alright, don't say anything else; hurry over, by the way, do you want me to come with you?"

"No need; if I see the situation is wrong, I'll call the police right away. Teacher Wu, don't worry about it—finish up what you're doing, then get some sleep."

"Okay, if you have anything, be sure to call me promptly—got it?"

After saying that, Xiao Yunzhe hurriedly left the company.

After going downstairs, he got into his car and sped all the way, then headed straight for Zong Mengni's studio.

When he arrived at the main gate, since it was already late at night, there was hardly anyone in sight; finally Xiao Yunzhe parked his car at the factory entrance.

He had only been away for a few days, but he hadn't expected that this place was now frequently fitted with a gate, which at the moment happened to be closed.

He rushed forward and pounded on the gate; after a while he heard footsteps coming from inside.

"Who's there? It's the middle of the night."

"Master, please open the door quickly; just now Zong Mengni called me and said it sounded like there was some movement outside."

"What did you say? Movement? What kind of movement?"

That guard, who had been sleeping soundly, also felt a bit strange upon hearing that.

Before going to sleep, I had already patrolled the entire factory grounds and found nothing suspicious; so what's going on now?
