Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu's Passionate Pursuit

From the sounds of footsteps, there were a total of five people who brought her in.

That is to say, besides the three people in the car, two more were waiting here.

Her eyes were tightly blindfolded, so she couldn’t see anything.

She couldn’t even perceive any light.

And, the two new arrivals were clearly just as cautious as the first three, with none of them making a sound.

She guessed that these people were either communicating with sign language or, more likely, using something like an iPad writing pad to converse.

She was led away for about four or five minutes before being made to stop.

“Sit down!”

It was the same voice that had scolded her earlier.

Richelle figured that this group was extremely cautious and clever.

Moreover, judging by their behavior, they were probably following the plan Jayden and Sebastian had devised, not contacting the Lewis family to negotiate terms at the beginning, but delivering her to Mason Lilliput first.

If they continued to follow this plan, would they try to transport her using another vehicle next?

Richelle had no idea what time it was or what their next move would be. She took stock of the object beneath her and determined that it was a soft sofa.

“Mm-mm…”

Richelle began to struggle again, and this time, she put up even more of a fight than before.

“Take off the tape over her mouth!”

It was the same man speaking again.

One hand held the back of her head, and with a tear, the tape over her mouth was removed.

“Boss, I want to go to the bathroom.”

Richelle made her request aloud.

She couldn’t see the men’s communication, but after a while, it was the same man who spoke.

“You take her there!”

Richelle could feel the presence of the person beside her lightening, and from the way they gripped her arm, she had a vague feeling that it was a woman.

Soon, her suspicion was confirmed.

Because inside the restroom, the woman spoke.

It seemed, with a high probability, that this woman was sent by Mason Lilliput.

“Ms. Dunn, don’t try any tricks. As long as you behave, we won’t hurt you, and we’ll even treat you with great care afterward.”

Richelle was very calm, “Did you see me try any tricks?”

By not attempting any tricks, she could avoid any unnecessary harm.

“I’m not stupid; there are so many of you that I wouldn’t dare resist. That would be a dead end! And I don’t want to die!”

The woman laughed, “At least you’re smart!”

When they came out of the restroom, Richelle’s mouth was once again sealed with tape.

Before applying the tape, she asked a question.

“What time is it now?”

“Five o’clock!”

The woman replied.

There was a smack, clearly the woman was hit.

“Stupid!”

It was the man’s rebuke.

Richelle did not struggle further, leaning back in the sofa, semi-reclining.

Right now, while these people had their guard down, she needed to conserve her energy.

Meanwhile, at Roy Lewis’ house, Roy Lewis, Nathan Caroule, and another man were sitting in the study watching a tiny red dot that had just moved slightly and was now completely motionless.

“Master Lewis, they are probably planning to take her away according to the original plan.”

Roy Lewis replied with a nod, “Did you check if there are any helicopters that have applied for flight recently in the area?”

Nathan responded, “None!”

Roy examined the screen and then opened an email on another computer, skimmed it quickly, and shared it on the screen.

“Mr. Mitchell, I just received a tip-off. There’s a hidden waterway nearby that the villagers used as an escape route during wartime decades ago. Although it’s been abandoned for decades, it’s still passable. We need to be on guard in case they take her away through the waterway.”

Mr. Mitchell nodded, “Alright, I’ll set up an ambush in the area right away. But, Master Lewis, are you planning to intercept her on the waterway? If that’s the case, it might be easier to intercept her now.”

But Roy Lewis was adamant, “No, not even on the waterway! We’ll see what the situation is after she’s out of the waterway!”
