Chapter 318 Leaving without saying goodbye is not a good habit
Lin Xiao carefully opened the toilet tank and found a sealed bag inside.

The bag contained only a hat, a mask, and a climbing rope.

Lin Xiao took out the things, glanced thoughtfully at the closed door, and then walked to the windowsill on the other side without looking back.

She stood at the window and checked the street behind her.

The streets were lined with all sorts of tents, and many homeless people were lying directly on the open ground.

Lin Xiao frowned instinctively. She looked at the rope in her hand and then at the crowd outside.

Although she didn't intend to use the rope, she simply slid down from the bathroom window to the ground floor.

But simply going down one floor shouldn't be a problem.

Lin Xiao put on a hat and a mask, tied the rope in his hand to the last toilet stall, used the handrail for disabled people, and then turned around without looking back and climbed out of the window.

According to Mingke, she could access the circus dressing room directly through the toilet on the floor below, and then bypass other people's obstruction to leave the circus performance area.

All the animals in the circus are kept in tents at the back of the theater.

As long as she can escape from the bodyguards arranged by Lin Yi, Ming Ke has almost completely taken care of the rest.

Although Lin Xiao has never actually tried ziplining or anything like that, he has been out in the mountains and seas for many years, so his physical fitness is quite good.

Although it took a long time to use the rope, they still managed to squeeze through the window and into the first-floor bathroom without any problems.

Fortunately, everyone was already inside the toilet stalls when she came in, so no one saw her crazy behavior.

Inside the cubicle, the actors' conversations could be heard intermittently.

"I saw Gris feed his lion a huge piece of meat again today."

"He always wears that deadpan expression, as if we can't bear to let the animals in the troupe eat a single thing."

"But his lion is so old! It's about to be retired, isn't it a waste to keep feeding it like this?"

"And I heard that the replacement African lion has already been delivered, so I don't know why he's still clinging to this lion."

"You can't say that. This lion was with him all the way, so he couldn't bear to part with it."

Hearing the conversation around him, Lin Xiao quietly removed his equipment and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately... she arrived at just the right time, so no one saw her directly.

Before long, the female performers of the troupe rushed out. Lin Xiao lowered her hat and followed them silently, pretending to be a circus worker and blending in among them, keeping her head down to avoid the security guards patrolling the corridor.

After avoiding the security guards, Lin Xiao quickly turned into an empty room next door, walked straight to the window, pushed it open, and climbed out.

Lin Xiao cautiously glanced around, then quickly turned around, preparing to head to the back of the theater to find the group of animals that had been locked up.

As a result, Lin Xiao turned around and took two steps. Just as he stepped out of the theater area, a figure flashed before his eyes, and Lin Yi appeared out of nowhere.

Lin Xiao stopped abruptly, and subconsciously frowned as she looked at the person who had suddenly appeared in front of her.

Lin Yi?!

Lin Yi's smile remained gentle. "Miss Lin, leaving without saying goodbye is not a good habit."

Lin Xiao snorted and, in a fit of desperation, took off her hat and mask.

She looked up and met Lin Yi's gaze without any politeness, and sneered, "The charge of 'Butler Lin' is a bit too much, and... don't you know how I was invited back?"

After speaking, she lowered her head and adjusted the hat and mask in her hands, her tone still extremely impolite.

"Since you've found out, I have nothing more to say. How about... we watch the rest of the performance?"

Lin Yi nodded very respectfully and turned around to make way for him.

"Miss Lin, please."

Lin Xiao clicked her tongue in slight disappointment, but quickly straightened her head and followed Lin Yi's instructions to walk forward. Throughout the entire performance, Lin Xiao was completely distracted.

My mind is filled with replaying the entire process of her climbing over the wall and being discovered this afternoon.

She was being extremely careful throughout, so how did she still get caught?

Could there be hidden cameras here that he didn't notice? Or does Mingke have someone on his side...?

Lin Xiao quickly shook her head and rejected the idea halfway through her thought. No, it can't be!
Mingke has worked here for so many years. If it were really his people who had problems, it would have been exposed long ago. Why is it only now?

The circus performance ended amidst Lin Xiao's confusion.

Lin Xiao stood up from her seat and stretched languidly.

It's finally over.

However, the thought of being locked up in that manor again suddenly made Lin Xiao feel that even the leaves on the trees outside looked a bit more beautiful.

Just as Lin Xiao was trying to stall for time, Lin Yi's extremely calm voice suddenly came to her ears.

"Ms. Lin, the gentleman is waiting for you in the lounge."

Lin Xiao suddenly looked up, her face full of surprise.

gentlemen?!
Is that the person in charge who supposedly brought her here?

After disappearing for so long, you've finally decided to show your face?!
Didn't we say before that he was held up by something in the country? Has that been resolved now?
Seeing Lin Xiao standing there in a daze, Lin Yi couldn't help but remind him again.

"Miss Lin, please come with me."

Lin Xiao nodded hastily, took a deep breath, and then followed.

Her hands, hanging by her sides, were clenched into fists so tightly they turned white, revealing the tension in her heart.

Lin Yi led him directly into the VIP room of the rest area.

The reddish-brown door was pushed open, revealing the exquisite and elegant interior.

Lin Xiao looked up but didn't see anyone.

Lin Yi stood at the door and bowed slightly, inviting her in.

Looking at the various exquisite furniture and decorations in front of her, Lin Xiao felt like a country bumpkin visiting a grand garden.

She walked slowly into the living room, looking at the empty room, a hint of confusion flashing through her mind.

What about people?

Lin Xiao subconsciously looked around at her surroundings, and turned around unintentionally, only to be startled by the man sitting behind her.

The man put down his coffee cup and stood up.

"I'm so sorry, did I scare you?"

His smile was extremely gentle, and he gestured for Lin Xiao to sit on the sofa opposite him.

Lin Xiao silently observed the man opposite her.

The man wore a simple white shirt and black trousers, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose. He looked refined and exuded an air of nobility.

He looks like the young master of some wealthy family.

only……

"Who are you? Why have you locked me up here?"

Lin Xiao's words were blunt, her gaze piercing and cold as she stared at the man in front of her.

Oh, thank you so much for the recommendation votes, my lovely readers! Starting today, I'm back to playing 4 games a day!
