"Help... help... "
Karin is very panic, desperately struggling to escape. Although the light is off, but with the moonlight outside the window going through, she could tell the man is a middle-aged man, with a fine physique.
"Don't say a word... be a good boy and go to sleep... I'm going to sleep too... don't disturb me..."
The man burbles about nothing, Karin is so scared that her face turns pale. It is the first time for her to encounter this kind of thing in her thirty years life. Her brain is blank, she doesn’t say anything, not be too scared, but is afraid that her daughter is sleeping in the next room, if she really provokes this madman, the consequences must be unimaginable.
He covers her mouth, she could not say anything, so she nods heavily, meaning she would not yell for help.
The man knows she would not yell, but he doesn’t let her go, and drags her towards the living room, probably because it is too dark, he hits the water dispenser, then the water dispenser falls to the ground with a violent sound. Karin’s heart beats fast, and after a while, the light in her daughter's room is on...
"Ah..."
Esme is woken up by the loud noise from the living room, and runs out of her room barefooted in pajamas, then she sees her mother is kidnapped by a man, strangling her neck and covering her mouth. The little girl has never seen this scene before, and cries out instantly.
The man hears the cries and rushes forward angrily, freeing one hand to strangle Esme’s neck, "Don’t cry!"
Karin's eyes widen in horror, the man's strength is too strong, she sees her daughter is strangled that her face turns red, she suddenly gets mad and is trying to escape from the man. She fiercely bite on the man’s arm, and his blood quickly oozes out. He screams in pain, and releases his hand that strangles Esme’s neck.
"Esme run!!!"
Karin hysterically shouts at her daughter, and taking advantage of the moment when the crazy man is relaxed, she turns around and pulls out a fruit knife from the refrigerator, "Do not come over, or I will stab you to death!"
The man seems to be scared away, he doesn’t walk forward. Esme who falls on the ground finally comes back to her senses, gets up and runs out of the house, and runs to the ninth floor directly, crying and fiercely knocking the door of Troy's house.
"Hurry up... Uncle Troy, go to save my mother... "
Esme is crying out of breath, Troy is stunned for a while, then he quickly picks up Esme and runs to the sixth floor.
When he arrives, the man has already snatched the knife into his hand and is grabbing Karin’s hair and dragging her hard towards the door.
Troy at that moment feels the blood in his whole body is about to rush to the brain. Bang! A fist smashes into the man's face. No matter how strong the man is, he in no way could beat Troy down. Troy is pinning him to the ground, and beating him fiercely, not a while the man's face is full of blood...
Esme is hiding in her mother's arms shivering with fear, crying in a husky voice. Troy turns around to check at the child, when he is about to walk over, suddenly the man lying on the ground raises the fruit knife in his hand like a crazy man, Karin shouts, "Watch out!" Troy escapes, but the knife still cut his shoulder.
The bright red blood flows down his white shirt, he is furious to the extreme, and gives the man a heavy punch, then the man is completely unconscious.
Karin is trembling and gets to run to call the police.
Fifteen minutes later, the police comes to take the crazy man away, Karin and Troy also go to the police station together.

When they leave the police station, it is already two o'clock in the morning, although the criminals have been locked in the police station, Karin is still very scared, desperately wondering how come the madman could sneak into her home. They drive back to home, Troy sees Karin is very concerned, he then takes her to the security office, and asks for checking the surveillance video of recent days.
The first two days there are nothing unusual, the third day is last night, the surveillance video shows Esme opens the door to go out, and the moment she leaves the home, a man sneaks into their home, and that man, it is the crazy man that Karin meets tonight.
At that time she is taking a shower in the bathroom, Esme runs out of the house without closing the door, the man is at that time sneaks into their home, and finds a place to hide.
Karin finishes watching the video and falls into a deep thought, Troy asks in surprise, "You are not suspecting me that I plan all this, right?"
"What?"

She gives him a meaningful glance, "I don’t think so, so you don't have to be guilty."
"Guilty?"
