Chapter 371 He Will Die
The man suddenly stood up with a grim expression. He opened the door and looked out. The alley was still quiet with no one there.
He breathed a sigh of relief but didn’t dare to let his guard down. Closing the door, he grabbed the camera from Yuliana, took out the memory card inside, and said, “Ms. Livingstone, where is the money?”
Yuliana was also affected by his emotions and became more nervous.
She hurriedly took out a pile of cash from the large bag. “The 30,000 dollars is all here.”
The man picked up the box by the wall, put the money in it, and handed the memory card to Yuliana. After hesitating for a few seconds, he reminded again, “Ms. Livingstone, we’ve been working together for quite some time. I advise you to stop investigating. Based on my years of experience, this matter is not simple. With your ability, it is like throwing a straw against the wind.”
Yuliana also realized that Damian’s death was not as simple as what she had investigated. It could involve more powerful people.
However, she couldn’t care to worry about herself.
“Will you be in danger?” Yuliana looked at the man in front of her. She couldn’t help but worry about him.
Those people knew he had captured pictures of something that shouldn’t have been captured, so they might not let him go.
The man paused. He pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at Yuliana. “It’s common for us who do this to be in danger, but it’s beyond my expectation this time, so I have to escape. If I continue staying in Juxshire, they would probably injure me even if they don’t kill me. However, you don’t have to worry too much. I’ll leave right away. They shouldn’t be here so soon.”
Yuliana nodded solemnly and didn’t ask anything else.
The man packed the money and put the rest of his things into his suitcase. After packing up, he stood up and said, “Ms. Livingstone, get out of here now! You’d better not let them know that you have something to do with me.”
“What about you?”
“My car hasn’t arrived yet. I’ll leave as soon as it arrives.”
“Okay, be careful.”
Yuliana put the memory card in the compartment of her bag before she opened the door and walked out.
The alley was extremely quiet.
It was the hottest time in summer, but Yuliana felt her body was sweating.
She quickly walked to the intersection ahead and turned to another alley. Just then, she heard a shrill cry from the alley.
Her footsteps halted abruptly.
It was Terrence.
Yuliana turned back quickly. When she was about to turn the corner, she suddenly slowed down. After hesitating for a while, she took out the memory card from her bag, looked around, and stuffed it into a wall
seam.
Yuliana broke into a cold sweat again while Terrence kept screaming.
The alley was still quiet, except for that sound.
There was no sound coming from the bungalows as if no one living there.
When che came earlier, she had caught the whiff of the smell of food and heard some scattered sounds.
Yuliana took a deep breath and was about to rush out, but her shoulder was suddenly pressed.
Her heart skipped a beat. She turned around and saw Wesley standing behind her.
Just as she was about to speak, Wesley covered her mouth and dragged her aside.
Wesley shushed her. Before she could react, he suddenly pressed his body against her and kissed her.
Yuliana was dumbfounded, and her mind was in turmoil.
“Duncan…”
She tried her best to push him and wanted to speak.
Yet, Wesley didn’t give her a chance.
Just then, someone whistled next to them and mocked, “Damn it. I work so hard under the hot sun, but this. couple is having an affair here.”
Yuliana’s body stiffened and stopped resisting in an instant.
She slowly wrapped her arms around Wesley’s neck and accommodated him, but she kept glimpsing at the intersection from her peripheral vision.
The man was still standing there.
Wesley stopped for a moment and whispered to her, “It’s okay. I’m here.”
Just then, another voice sounded.
“Have you found anyone suspicious?”
Yuliana’s body stiffened again when she heard the voice. She was about to look in the direction of the intersection, but Wesley held her head.
“Chris”” the man shouted respectfully and replied, “I didn’t see anyone suspicious but a couple hiding here and kissing!”
Christopher looked ahead. The man in a black T-shirt was holding the woman’s head and kissing her intensely. The woman’s petite figure was almost covered by the man. Only her ear could be seen
He stared at them for a few seconds, threw the cigarette in his hands in the corner, stepped on it, and said, “Let’s go.”
After the two men left, Yuliana immediately pushed Wesley away.
Her body was covered with sweat, wet and sticky, and her heart thumped hard in her chest.
Terrence’s screams couldn’t be heard anymore.
Yuliana was stunned for a moment and didn’t say anything. She was about to go to the bungalow rented by Terrence Thus, she couldn’t take risks.
Wesley pulled her back and warned in a low voice, “Yuliana, can you calm down?”
His gaze was cold and stern.
Yuliana looked at him with her eyes wide open. Her lips moved slightly. After a while, she said, “He will die!” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“It won’t help if you go there!” Wesley said calmly, “Besides, you will expose yourself. Think about Rowan.”
Hearing the word “Rowan,” Yuliana froze, and her body slowly became less tense.
She had Rowan.
Yet, Terrence…
Yuliana felt suffocated.
Wesley glanced at the intersection and said, “Don’t worry. He should be safe for the time being.” After a pause, he asked again, “You have the thing, right?”
Hearing that, Yuliana suddenly remembered something and looked at Wesley vigilantly.
Wesley noticed her suspicion and hurriedly said, “I’ll explain everything to you later. As long as it’s in your hand, Terrence will be fine. Let’s get out of here.”
After saying that, he dragged Yuliana to the exit of the alley, regardless of her reluctance.
On the other side of the bungalow, Terrence was creeping on the ground with blood all over his body. His. glasses were stepped on by a man with a tattooed arm. He breathed slowly. His hands and feet couldn’t even move. The money, clothes and other things in the suitcase were scattered on the ground. The cameras and other equipment were broken into pieces on the ground.
“Chris, I’ve searched everywhere, but I can’t find it,” one of the men reported to Christopher after searching the
last corner of the bungalow.
Christopher stood at the door and lit another cigarette.
He didn’t respond when he heard that.
The tattooed-armed man, who stepped on Terrence’s glasses, stepped forward and kicked Terrence. “Where is the thing? If you don’t hand it over, I’ll kill you!”
Terrence coughed hard. His chest was trembling, and his mouth was filled with the smell of rust.
