Chapter 318
There was no food, and everyone in the dark room was so hungry that their chests were sticking to their backs. The first day was okay, but on the second day, some people couldn’t stand it anymore.
In the dim space, a woman walked up to Jane and said harshly.
“You… take out the food.”
Because there was no food to eat, Jane didn’t move around, so she curled up in her seat to rest and save her strength.
The woman who appeared suddenly blocked the light in front of her. Jane slowly raised her head, looked at the woman who appeared suddenly, and squinted her eyes without showing any emotion.
“I don’t.” After staring for a while, Jane said coldly.
“You lied. I saw that you hid something. There must be something to eat on you.”
When the woman said this, everyone in the dark room turned their attention to Jane.
After all, when those people above brought down the food on their first day, Jane was the first to grab it, and even took several more.
Later, when they started eating, the food delivered from above was fixed everyday, two steamed buns per person, and there was no extra.
And the woman saw Jane hide a steamed bun for the first time, and then replaced it every day, leaving a fresh steamed bun.
Jane didn’t expect that someone would notice what she was doing. She did this at the beginning because she was worried that one day, those people would not deliver them food, or that she needed it when she’ll escape and ran away.
A steamed bun can barely support them. But sometimes, a little detail can determine everyone’s success or failure.
“Go away!” Jane spoke coldly. Now that the other party has confirmed that she had hid some buns. She didn’t plan to explain to them and just glance at the woman coldly.
The woman was startled by Jane’s gaze, but she was still unwilling to give up for a bite.
Then she started instigating with the others in the room.
“You might want to help, I’m sure she has hidden some food. Aren’t you wondering? When we were brought up here, she was the first person in the room to arrive. Maybe she was sent by the people above to monitor us. We haven’t done anything yet.”
Hearing the woman’s word, Jane’s expression turned dark. The others were indeed move by the woman’s instigation.
Jane watched helplessly as the others started moving towards her direction. With her hands hidden behind her back, she tightly held the small scissors that had been hidden before.
“Take out the food, and we won’t embarrass you.
Looking at the unfriendly eyes of these people, Jane was very upset.
If she had ask her kindly at the beginning, maybe she would take out the food and gave it to her, but
Chapter 318
now… she won’t take out the food no matter what.
“If you want to grab it, you can try it.” Jane also stood up, exuding a rebellious demeanor that made them shudder.
Her aura frightened them, they just stood on each sides and no one made a move first.
A chuckle broke the silent atmosphere.
“Ah!”
Everyone followed the sound and looked over. It was the blond man with blue eyes sitting against the wall.
All the women were mesmerized by Giovanni’s amazing appearance for a moment, and they all showed that enamored looks.
It’s no wonder that they are still captivated at this time, it’s because the man in front of them is too handsome, that even in this embarrassing state, he still looked poised.
“It’s embarrassing for a group of people to bully one person.”
“The ship is about to dock soon, and you will be able to eat delicious food in a short while. What’s the point of grabbing a broken steamed bun?”
Giovanni had also noticed Jane’s little tricks before, and didn’t pay much attention to it at first, but later on he discovered that she was different from the other women in the dark room.
The man’s words made the group of women who were originally hostile to Jane feel embarrassed to snatch the steamed buns from her hand. They then return to their places.
Jane was still on guard for a while, and seeing that these women were really not looking for trouble anymore, she relaxed her vigilance and looked at Giovanni.
After hesitating for a while, Jane went to sit next to him.
The man’s arrogant demeanor before made Jane give up trying to win him over, but now, she still wanted to give it a try. If she wanted to escape, she probably couldn’t do it alone. Not unless she had some accomplice.
At the beginning, Giovanni was indifferent to Jane, because he felt that the woman was also attracted by his face, but after their conversation last time, Jane stopped talking to him, and Giovanni felt a little bit disappointed.
Now that Jane came up to talk to him again, Giovanni didn’t act too indifferent.
“How about we make a deal?” Jane lowered her voice and spoke to the man beside her.
“Speak!” The man’s cold voice slowly spit out, he was still indifferent, but unlike the last time when refused her flatly, it was a little different now.
Jane was a little surprised, and then immediately asked, “How do you know that the ship is about to dock?”
“The sound of the waves hitting the hull outside is much quieter now. And the sound of the sea seemed not that deep anymore, so what else does it mean except that were nearly ashore.” The man said calmly, as if saying that today’s weather is very sunny.
Jane listened carefully and seemed to really feel the same way. Before she could react, the man
Chapter 318
spoke again slowly.
“They didn’t send you any food as they wanted to make you lose your energy before the ship docked, so that they can control you. Otherwise, how can they control you all and pass the inspection at the dock safely with so many of you trying to escape?”
Hearing this, Jane was shocked. She didn’t expect these people to be so insidious, and they had already prepared a plan incase they would run away.
“I want to escape, do you want to do it together?” Jane didn’t hide her purpose any longer, she lowered her voice and said in a tone that only the two of them could hear.
Hearing Jane’s words, Giovanni wasn’t surprised at all, there should be no one here who doesn’t want to run away, but this woman is really different from them.
“You seem to know a lot about ships. Let’s cooperate and escape together.” Jane lowered her voice and wait the man’s response.
“You came to me the last time just for this cooperation?” Giovanni looked back at Jane, who possessed such beautiful face.
Hearing his question, Jane was puzzled for a moment, not understanding why he was asking this question. After regaining her senses, she nodded and answered seriously.
“Your skills should be good, as you can see, everyone here, except you, are a bit more weaker, moreover I should have a better chance of escaping if you cooperate with me.”
At the beginning, when Jane admitted that he was only looking for him to escape, Giovanni’s expression was a little bad.
He thought that this woman was interested in him, but he didn’t expect that it wasn’t what she meant at all. She just wanted to lure him into cooperating with her to escape.
But after hearing Jane say that she had a better chance of escaping with him, Giovanni’s face softened a bit.
