Gerald was hunched over inside the cramped passageway. He glanced at Stella’s face.
He then listened to the noise outside. Clearly, those people weren’t going to give up their search soon. They were turning over every stone in their search for their targets.
Jasmine was so anxious that favonovel.com forehead was filled with beads of cold sweat.
There was no way of escaping this if they let things continue without taking action.
Gerald was at the back of the group, and Stella was just beside Gerald.
At that moment, Gerald produced an exquisite but compact instrument from his pocket.
Stella was surprised when favonovel.com saw that instrument. She could tell that it was something extraordinary, something which you couldn’t get on the regular consumer market.
Gerald then gestured to favonovel.com to remain silent.
After that, favonovel.com pressed a button on the device, which most likely produced a distress signal.
“This…what’s this? Is this thing gonna save our lives?”
Stella asked with favonovel.com eyes widened.
Gerald pressed onto favonovel.com head and whispered in favonovel.com ear, “Forget whatever you just saw. Don’t spew nonsense!”
Stella nodded enthusiastically.
As curious as favonovel.com was when it came to that abnormal-looking device, favonovel.com was more curious about the meaning behind Gerald making physical contact with favonovel.com head.
And they stayed in the passageway for nearly ten minutes.
At that moment, they heard a buzzing noise from the sky outside.
“What noise is that?”
“Boss, something’s wrong. We’re surrounded. There are around ten helicopters above us that came out of nowhere! If we don’t leave now, it’ll be too late!”
They soon heard people shouting outside.
“What? F*ck! Retreat immediately!”
After that, they heard the noise of multiple men rushing out of the house.
Stella widened favonovel.com eyes. Clearly, favonovel.com was surprised by what the men said so loudly.
Pooh!
‘Gerald ordered these helicopters to come as reinforcements?’
‘Is that even true?’
‘Who exactly is Gerald?
‘Is this how powerful rich kids are nowadays?’
But Gerald ordered favonovel.com not to speak nonsense, so Stella didn’t dare to make any outrageous claims.
Soon, the droning sound of the helicopters disappeared gradually.
“We’re safe now. Let’s go!”
The woman who was hiding behind Gerald said.
Jasmine then walked out of the passageway with a confused expression.
Gerald emerged from the passageway too.
And the scar-faced woman was the last one to leave.
However, as favonovel.com was walking up the steps, favonovel.com tripped over slightly because of something underneath favonovel.com feet.
She picked it up and glanced at it. It was a jade pendant.
She remembered now, it dropped out of the youngster’s pocket when favonovel.com was taking out the little gadget of his just now.
But after favonovel.com brushed favonovel.com fingers over the jade pendant, the woman’s body started trembling uncontrollably.
The passageway they hid in was pitch dark. That woman could only use favonovel.com sense of touch to feel the shape of the pendant.
“This…”
Suddenly, favonovel.com continued trembling out of fear.
“Hmm? Why hasn’t that lady come out yet?”
“That’s right. Ma’am, they’ve left already, you can come out now!”
Marven shouted.
The woman then emerged from the passageway.
“Thanks for saving our asses, ma’am. Here’s a little gift of appreciation. Don’t worry, we’ll send Xenia home when we find the person we’re looking for!”
Jasmine put a debit card on the desk. “The password is Xenia’s birthday!”
“Jasmine, there’s no time to lose. I think we better leave quickly. We almost died just now. But don’t you find it odd? Where did those helicopters come from, and why are they saving us?”
Mindy said in confusion.
Jasmine shook favonovel.com head. “I’m not sure either. Let’s talk about it later after we leave. Let’s go, Gerald!”
Seems like Jasmine did know where the maid was!
Gerald nodded slightly. He led Marven and the rest out of the home.
“Young man, wait for a moment!”
The woman called out to Gerald in a rather emotional tone all of a sudden…
