The middle-aged man had returned at some point and was shocked to see a woman clothed in black with a black baseball cap standing at the doorway trying to push it open.
Ji Wei instinctively stepped back.
Zhu Ming'an froze for only a few seconds before striding quickly toward Ji Wei.
Ji Wei's expression showed some panic as she turned on her heel and quickly ran toward the other end of the hallway.
"Stop! Don't run, stand right there!" Zhu Ming'an shouted, chasing after her.
Ji Wei had no idea which way led out, so she darted into the first open door she saw. It turned out to be a storage room piled high with miscellaneous items, with no other way out.
The sound of approaching footsteps behind her grew louder and louder. With no alternatives left, Ji Wei decided to hide inside a cabinet nearby and pulled the door shut behind her.
The moment the door was pushed open, her heart leapt into her throat.
