Chapter 245: What Happened After Xiao Q and the Two Others Escaped Alice Apartment
At first, Wang Ju was deeply touched.
She never expected that a boy would do such a thing for her.
Especially since she never realized the Tall Male Student had a crush on her that ran so deep.
Therefore, after she had mostly recovered physically,
she went to visit the Tall Male Student, who had already been sentenced by the Court and imprisoned.
During their first meeting,
Wang Ju was in tears.
She directly stated that she was willing to become the Tall Male Student's girlfriend and would wait for him to be released.
This made the already imprisoned and emotionally low Tall Male Student extremely excited and happy.
He felt that everything he had done for Wang Ju was worth it. Later, Wang Ju also visited frequently.
However, time is both a kind messenger and an evil demon king.
Gradually, as time passed,
Wang Ju's visits to the Tall Male Student became less and less frequent.
From wishing she could come every day, to only coming once every few weeks.
Finally, she stopped coming altogether...
Later, the Tall Male Student learned from other visitors that after Wang Ju had recovered,
she returned to university and soon met another boy, starting a relationship with him.
Later, some people who knew both the Tall Male Student and Wang Ju felt it was unfair and confronted Wang Ju to demand an explanation.
And what did Wang Ju say?
She said: "Did I ask him to kill that person? No, right?"
"He was the one who acted too impulsively back then. Even if he hadn't killed that person, with so many people present, the perpetrator wouldn't have gotten away. He would have eventually been caught and punished by law anyway!"
"So, I don't owe him anything at all!"
"Besides, he's going to be in prison for so long. Do you really expect me to wait that long for him?"
"Don't you know that a girl's youth is very precious?"
...
The Tall Male Student listened to Xiao Peng recount these words to him.
Essentially, words saying he wasn't worth it, that Wang Ju had found another boyfriend outside.
He forced a strained smile:
"It's nothing. Actually, she isn't wrong for doing this. After all, I'm going to be locked up here for 10 years. It's not wrong for her not to wait for me. She's not wrong..."
Xiao Peng looked at the Tall Male Student's clearly devastated state and wanted to say more, but Xiao Q stopped him.
Signaling him to drop it.
What's the use of saying more?
It can't change the facts that have already happened.
Xiao Peng also knew it couldn't be changed, but he just felt it was so unfair for the Tall Male Student!
Afterwards, the three of them chatted for a while longer.
The visitation time ended.
The Tall Male Student was taken away by the prison guards.
Xiao Q and Xiao Peng told him they would visit again next time. After watching the Tall Male Student's back disappear, they also left the prison and went outside.
Outside the prison.
"His life is pretty much ruined. Even though he's only locked up for 10 years and will be just over thirty when he gets out, which is still relatively young,"
"he didn't even graduate from university, and his record has the black mark of murder and imprisonment, especially missing these prime years from his twenties to thirties. Sigh! Why didn't we stop him back then?!"
After coming out, Xiao Peng kept muttering to himself, chattering incessantly.
Xiao Q didn't complain much.
After all, the Tall Male Student and those others were Xiao Peng's good friends.
They weren't his friends.
His only good friend was Xiao Peng.
Even though he also felt it was quite a pity for the Tall Male Student.
He flew into a rage over his beloved.
But in the end, not only did he ruin himself, but he didn't even get the girl.
"Alright, stop complaining. We have plans today."
As he spoke, Xiao Q hailed a rideshare outside the prison.
Next, the two took the rideshare to a café in the city center.
At that moment, standing outside the café was a scruffy-bearded "Little Zhang Fei."
This Little Zhang Fei was none other than Ke Bei.
After the last incident where Xiao Q and the other two were rescued by Mike, fled all the way, evaded the chainsaw murderer's pursuit, and escaped Alice Apartment,
the three first ran to the hospital.
Why go to the hospital?
Obviously, Xiao Peng had been used as a human cushion twice and was smashed until he coughed up blood.
He definitely needed hospital treatment.
But when they reached the hospital, an awkward situation occurred.
During the days they were imprisoned, they hadn't bathed and had no toilet paper.
All three looked like beggars and were emitting a foul odor.
Furthermore, having just escaped, they had nothing on them;
their phones were still with Su Mi.
No ID cards, no money.
Therefore, they couldn't even enter the hospital.
With no other choice, Xiao Q and Ke Bei could only take Xiao Peng to Ke Bei's previous home nearby first.
At that home,
Ke Bei, being a detective, had a whole stash of backup phones and backup SIM cards.
So, he used a backup phone to contact a doctor he knew well from a hospital.
The doctor was originally resting at home but was summoned by this call.
He drove them to the hospital where he worked.
Only then could Xiao Peng receive treatment.
Afterwards, while Xiao Peng was being treated, the two took the doctor's car back to Ke Bei's external home and took a proper shower.
That shower, after such a long interval, made both instantly appreciate the preciousness of bathing.
Both cried while showering.
Of course, their shower time was also very long.
And even after just one shower, they could still smell the stench emanating from themselves, as if they were thoroughly marinated in foul odor.
In the following period,
fortunately, Xiao Peng's injuries weren't severe, and he recovered and was discharged.
The three resumed the life that normal humans should have.
They also went to get replacement SIM cards and bought new phones.
But what happened next made all three realize the far-reaching influence of the forces behind Alice Apartment.
Because Ke Bei lived alone, during the time he was imprisoned and out of contact by Su Mi,
no one cared about where he had gone.
Therefore, no effort was needed to cover his absence.
As for Xiao Q and Xiao Peng,
after they got out, they learned why no one had looked for them, realized they were missing, or tried to contact them during their imprisonment.
These people included their university classmates, teachers,
and even their own parents, etc.
The reason was simple: a very famous production crew in the country
had approached Xiao Q and Xiao Peng's classmates, teachers, and parents.
They said that Xiao Q and Xiao Peng were participating in a domestic variety show recording session.
Something similar to a survival-in-the-wild type program.
During the recording, they couldn't use electronic communication devices, etc.
They were specially there to notify everyone.
In short, they fabricated reasons, providing ample justification for their disappearance during the imprisonment period.
Therefore, after they escaped Alice Apartment and returned to normal life,
when the two returned to the university campus,
people around them who knew them all asked about the program recording, even expressing envy for their luck, which left them utterly confused.
But the unfortunate part was, even if they were confused, after learning about this situation, they had to pretend that they really did go to record a program.
Why?
Well, what else could they say? Tell them the truth?
That they were imprisoned?
That Alice Apartment is a den of evil?
Who would dare say that?
Who would dare leak it?
Xiao Q and Xiao Peng certainly didn't have the courage, nor would they do such a suicidal thing.
