Chapter 279:
Kristopher, standing before him, had already removed his shirt and was struggling with his belt. The dim lighting
in the storage room seemed to be making it harder for him. He looked towards Belinda and said, “Help me.”
Without hesitation, Belinda moved closer, placing his jacket and shirt on a nearby table, and bent down to assist
with his belt. She handled the task with practiced ease.
Meanwhile, Fred, now undressing, watched as her back turned to him, a knot forming in his stomach. Just
moments before, when Fred had been about to remove his shirt, he noticed Belinda’s eyes quickly shift away.
She couldn't bear to watch him undress, yet she helped Kristopher with something as personal as his belt
without a second thought.
Did this mean Kristopher still held a special place in her heart, even after their divorce?
“All done.”
Belinda quickly unfastened the belt, then moved to stand behind Kristopher, turning her back to both men,

Kristopher smoothly finished dressing in Fred's clothes.
As the two men completed their disguises, the man in black who had gone to get the keys returned.
“You guessed right. He could really be hiding here!”
The man in black returned, panting. “We couldn't find him downstairs, and the old administrator at the dormitory
mentioned that several student union members have keys to this storage room. That must include Fred!”
Realizing this, the man guarding the door slapped his thigh in frustration and said, “No wonder we haven't found
him all this time!” He grabbed the keys and began unlocking the door.
Inside, Kristopher, now dressed in Fred's blue pajamas, grasped Belinda’s hand and whispered, “As soon as we
go out, we'll run.”
Tense, Belinda instinctively tightened her grip on his hand and said, “I understand.”

Their plan depended on luring all the men in black away to ensure Fred's safe escape. Moreover, even if she and
Kristopher were caught, it wouldn't pose a major problem since they weren't the primary targets of the men in
black, who would likely be lenient with them.
As the click of the unlocking door sounded, the door swung open. The bright corridor light momentarily blinded
Belinda, making it difficult for her to see. Before she could adjust, Kristopher was already pulling her into the
hallway, sprinting forward.
“Blue pajamas, denim jacket, white slippers — he’s really hiding here!” One of the men in black spotted
Kristopher’s clothes and shouted out. The men in black chased after them, coordinating with others to try to
encircle them.
Kristopher held Belinda’s hand tightly.
They dashed down the stairwell of the male dormitory, descending floor by floor, breaking past the men in black
at the exit, and continuing their run across the university campus.
The men in black were completely distracted, following and shouting as they ran.
As Kristopher led the way, Belinda stole a quick glance over her shoulder at their pursuers.
