My Little Poplar - Chap 97
The crowd was shocked.
Bai Xinyu fought the pain, he pulled his hand out of the cuffs, as his thumb went through the cuffs, the pain was so intense he wanted to curse, he gritted his teeth, he quickly pulled his hand out and clicked the joint back in, in just twenty seconds, he was already sweating.
The manager looked at Bai Xinyu, with horror in his eyes and didn’t dare to say another word.
Da-Hui crouched by the wall, Bai Xinyu stepped on his shoulders to reach the window, he took off his jacket, held it on his arm and with a strong bang, the old window broke as the glass shattered, the sound was harsh in the dark.
The room was silent, not even breathing loudly.
For a minute, there was no movement, before Bai Xinyu gently cleared the broken glass away and struggled to climb out. The vent was very small, it took a lot of effort to squeeze his shoulders out, once his shoulders were out, his body was easy, he tumbled out of the vent and landed on the grass.
It was dark and windy, the staff didn’t need to worry about him escaping, this was a remote place, on two legs, where could he go and he was discouraged from taking the men with him, with the lack of exercise in the office, he would have been caught up in a two kilometre run.
He took a deep breath against the wall and groped silently along the roots, he had to find a suitable place to infiltrate the factory.
Half way around the factory, he found an office window, he pressed his eyes against the grey window, after making sure there was no one inside, he gently pushed the window, it was unlocked, it was just rusty from age, it clicked.
After pushing the window halfway open, he gently tumbled in. Leaving the office, a long corridor, he took a spanner in the switch room and walked against the wall, it was dark and so quiet that Bai Xinyu could hear his own heartbeat. He pulled his hair and told himself to calm down, after a year and a half of being discharged from the army he was once again in such a tense environment, he was having trouble adjusting, he kept breathing deeply, his racing heart finally calmed down.
Through the corridor, a staircase appears in front of him, Manager Xu says the main control room is on the first floor, he sneaks up the stairs, on the balcony he saw a little fire, he looks around, a night watchman is leaning against the wall smoking, his back is to him.
Bai Xinyu had his spanner on the waist of his trousers, his eyes locked on his prey in the darkness, step by step, he approached the guard cat like. When he is only three or four steps away, the guard seems to sense something, he jerks back, Bai Xinyu lunges, one hand over the guard’s mouth, the other arm around his neck, the guard fights back, a grunting sound escapes his lips but he cannot break free, Bai Xinyu is ruthless and with a flick of his arm, he breaks the guard’s neck. With a single movement of his arm, he broke the guard’s neck.
The guard’s body falls limp, Bai Xinyu drags him back to the ground floor, took the guard’s bag and weapon, shoves him into the switchboard room, the moment he closes the door, he feels his hands tremble, this is the first time he has killed at close range, he has always used a gun, he feels the body heat and breath of the man, he kills him, The psychological impact of the killing, much worse than with a gun but he didn’t have time to think about it, he had to finish the job quickly, otherwise it could be someone he cared about who would die.
Bai Xinyu retraced his steps back to the first floor, following a few rooms, as he passed an office, he heard snoring from inside, the factory’s office area was circular, very spacious, around a corner, two armed men patrolling outside one office, that room must be the main control room. that room must be the main control room. He watched in the dark for a while, finding no way to break through the guards without alerting the others and decided to enter through the outer wall.
