- At this time, Nater said to Gus, "You stay in the false wall for a while. I'll go out to get some fresh air. Be careful not to make any mistakes." As Gus was crawling into the secret room behind the wardrobe, he said proudly, "Don't worry. We've played this double - act many times. Just go out and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air." Nater walked out of the house leisurely, sat on a chair on the lawn, smoked a cigar, enjoyed the fresh air and watched the birds flying freely in the sky. Just then,…

- Gus replied calmly, "Gus." Sheriff Henry gave a sneering laugh and said, "You're really good at pretending. You're not Gus. You're Nater, a wanted criminal who has been on the run for over a year!" Gus smiled slightly, spread his hands and shrugged, saying, "Officer, you must be mistaken. I'm Gus. Nater is my younger brother. I'm his elder brother. We're not the same person." The sheriff looked at him and asked in confusion, "But - how can you look exactly the same as Nater?" Gus burst into…

The TV signal came back, and the fight continued. In this round, Tyson was hit by a combination of punches and staggered. Fortunately, the ropes saved him from falling. Just then, the round ended. The stranger stood up, looked at the clock on the wall again, and said, "Now you can call the police. But it's 9:20 now, which means I've been here for an hour and ten minutes. If you call the police now, aren't you suspected of harboring a murderer? Think about it. A murderer has been in your house for so long,…- 2.3 K • Completed

My attention was fully focused on the TV. Seeing that I didn't say a word, the stranger spoke again, "Don't ignore me. Maybe I can make you rich. I've changed my mind. I don't want to run anymore. I'm fed up with this terrifying life on the run. The police in our city have offered a $10,000 reward for my capture. After you've fed me, you can call the police and get that $10,000. You must have a phone here. Just press a few numbers and you're done." I gradually remembered. This man in front of me was the…- 2.3 K • Completed

I had my dinner early, boiled some water, brewed a pot of tea, and comfortably settled on the sofa, waiting for the start of this battle of the century. Just then, someone knocked on the door. This made me frustrated. I didn't welcome anyone at this time. But the knocking continued, so I reluctantly went to open the door. It was a stranger. Without my permission, he walked in like an old friend. I asked, "Who are you looking for? You've got the wrong door. I don't know you. Please leave." The man didn't…- 2.3 K • Completed

Unauthorized Entry chapter 1
It was supposed to be an ordinary night. There was no power outage, no water cut, no clogged sewer pipes, no quarrels among neighbors, and no lunar eclipse, meteor shower, or sudden drop in temperature. If there was any difference from the past, it was that my wife and son were not at home, making the night even colder and less likely to have any stories. To my relief, there was going to be a highly anticipated boxing match between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield on TV that night. This was a long -…- 2.3 K • Completed
