Hearing it, the action of Stanley’s wiping his hands paused, "What's the matter?"
"It's strange. No signal!" Violet shook the phone, "Does Mr. Murphy have it?"
Stanley folded his handkerchief and put it in his chest pocket, then took out the phone from his trouser pocket, "No."
"Neither of you?" Violet was slightly surprised, "How could this be?"
Stanley didn't reply her. He looked down. No one knew what he was thinking.
Violet put down the phone, "Mr. Murphy, I'll go outside to see if there is a signal."
Stanley didn't stop her.
Violet walked towards the factory door.
When she reached the door, she saw the door which was originally open was closed. Violet was shocked. Suddenly, there was a bad guess in her mind.
The door would not be locked, would it?
When she was thinking about it, she quickly stretched out her hand to hold the doorknob, trying to open the door, but the doorknob couldn't move at all.
The door was indeed locked.
Stanley walked over and knew what was going on at a glance. His face sank, "Can't open the door?"
Violet shook her head, "It was locked from the outside."
"Sure enough!" Stanley was not surprised at this.
Hearing this, Violet let go of the doorknob and looked at him, "Mr. Murphy, do you know that the door is locked?"
Stanley tapped on the door panel, "When Jessie was still there, the mobile phone still had a signal. After she left, our mobile phone no longer signaled. Obviously, some people didn’t want us to contact the outside world. Someone installed a signal shield."
"Signal shield!" Violet frowned.
Stanley put his hand back in his trouser pocket, and said, "The signal shields on the market can only be used in a building or a house, and they can’t shield signals on a large area..."
"Then what should we do now? We can't get out, and we can't contact the outside." Violet scratched her hair, a little irritable.
Stanley turned around and walked in, "It won't help even if you are anxious. Why not worry about what we will face next?"
Listening to this, Violet felt a little anxious, "Mr. Murphy, you mean we might be in danger?"
"Yeah, otherwise what do they lock us in here?" Stanley said in a deep voice.
Violet followed him back to where he was just now. Her eyes were filled with guilt, "Mr. Murphy, sorry. I make you get involved."
"Nothing. It’s me who asked to come here with you." Stanley picked up a cardboard box and unpacked it on the ground, bent over and sat down. Then he patted the position beside him, "Isn't you tired to stand all the time? Sit! No matter what the danger is, just face it together."
Violet gave a wry smile and sat down beside him.
After sitting down, she heard Stanley say, "This time, it’s also Talia."
"Are you so sure?" Violet asked, hugging her knees.
Stanley sighed, "If I had been cheated by three million, I would not be reconciled, either. I would definitely try to get it back. Even if I can't get it back, I can't let my enemy get it so easily. The robber failed last night. Naturally, she would think of other ways to deal with you."
"But how does she know that these machines are mine?" Violet gritted her teeth.
From beginning to end, it was Jessie who came to purchase these machines.
"Is it difficult?" Stanley squinted at her, "As long as she checks the whereabouts of the three million flows, everything will be known."
"This..." Violet patted her forehead annoyedly, "Why did I forget this?"
"Okay, it's useless to be upset. You still think about how to fight back after you go out." Stanley pinched his eyebrows, and said tiredly.
Violet smiled, "This is simple."
"Do you have a way?" Stanley raised his eyebrows slightly.
Violet's eyes flashed, "Of course. After I go out, Talia will be over."
Looking at her confident face, Stanley smiled slightly, "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news, but now open your hands."
"What's the matter?" Although Violet didn't know what he wanted to do, she still open her hands obediently.
Seeing her two bloody palms, Stanley’s face was very gloomy.
Didn’t this woman feel pain?
Violet was a little embarrassed by being stared at by him, and wanted to withdraw her hands.
