“Which door are you talking about?” Winnie asked.

The old lady pointed at the door again and said, “It’s that iron door over there. Do you see it?”

Winnie was speechless as she took a long sigh instead. As the place was an old residential area, the first-floor units were all fitted with an iron door. Winnie absolutely had no idea which door the old lady was referring to.

The old lady, too, noticed the situation and thought about it before saying, “Since I have nothing better to do, why don’t I take you over there?”

“That would be great! Thank you so much!” Winnie didn’t bring any money with her, so she hurriedly told the security guard to take out some money, hoping to reward the old lady.

However, the old lady waved her hand and refused. “No, no! I’m just showing you the way. I wanted to go over there to see if there are any plastic bottles.”

Winnie didn’t want to waste her time persuading the old lady. She then followed the latter’s lead and headed toward the old residential area.

The granny spoke as she led the way. “Since the place is about to be demolished, most of them had already moved away to their newly allocated houses.”

Then, she pushed a door open and said, “This door opens as soon as I push it. It must be deserted inside. It was this door that the tall man entered just now.”

“All right. Thank you so much again!” As Winnie spoke, she quickly shoved a few hundred into the old lady’s pocket. “Please don’t refuse anymore. I’m really in a hurry to get inside to look for someone.”

Having heard Winnie speak like that, the old lady no longer refused the young lady’s reward.

She could only say, “Go inside, then. I won’t be joining you guys.”

Winnie did not respond to the old lady’s words. Instead, she switched on her phone’s flashlight function and entered the house with the security guard.

Behind them, the old lady shut the iron door right away.

Winnie followed behind the security guard as she shouted Xavier’s name.

As soon as the security guard pushed the door open, a noise could be heard coming from inside the pitch-dark house.

Winnie hurriedly shone the flashlight on her phone toward the corner where the noise was coming from.
