苏晓晓在酒店房间里转了两圈，额头全是冷汗。刚才那男人，顾少？真是个神秘的家伙。她低头看了看身上那件洗得发白的T恤和牛仔裤， kä.Drawing a mental image of him, she shivered. He seemed cold and powerful, the kind of guy who could make people afraid just by looking at him. She definitely didn't want anything to do with him.

"Okay, okay," she muttered to herself, trying to think of a way out. "Just need to find a taxi, go somewhere far away... maybe back to my apartment?" The thought made her stomach twist. She still had her laptop, her savings, just enough to get by for a month or two if she was careful.

She slipped out of the room, making sure to lock the door from the inside. The corridor was empty and quiet, just like the room. Good. No one seeing her. She hurried down the stairs, heart pounding like a drum. Landlord Mr. Zhou would be happy to see her, she thought, grimly. "Just arrived? Sorry, I told you I wasn't moving out."

Reaching the ground floor, she saw a taxi waiting near the entrance. She practically fell into the back seat, panting. "Take me far away, please," she gasped at the driver. "As far as you can."
