Fatty shrank within the wardrobe, not daring to make a sound.
Someone outside opened the door and then quickly walked into the room.
He first went to lift the bed curtain but stopped halfway, seeming to sense that this place was unsafe.
Some seconds of silence followed.
In those few seconds, Fatty had already guessed the likely course of the ensuing events.
Sure enough, the man who had paused in the room for a few seconds began striding towards the wardrobe, causing Fatty to stiffen in fear.
If there had been a doorknob inside the wardrobe, he would have undoubtedly held on tight, not allowing so much as a hair to sneak past him.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
The person strode quickly to the wardrobe and, without the slightest hesitation, pulled open the door.
Instantly, both those inside and outside were startled.
