Since everything was confirmed okay, the team leader waved his hand and said, “All right. Let them go.”
The mid-aged man said with a smile, “Thank you so much, gents.”
Then all the drivers got back to the trucks. The truck group headed out of the town slowly.
One of the bodyguards watched them leave, looking annoyed.
He nagged unhappily, “How unlucky to meet a madman. If the situation hadn’t been unique today, I must beat up the two jerks of the third truck.”
“All right. All right. Calm down. They’ll come back. We’ll see them often. We can beat them up whenever seeing them.”
“Better not. If when they come back, we still haven’t caught Stanford Fraser and others, we will be doomed.”
The bodyguards sighed, looking in the direction to leave town worriedly.
It had been the second day. They wondered what method Stanford would use to go out of town. No matter what, they must catch them.
The truck group drove for half an hour along the highway before exiting from an intersection.
Shortly after, they stopped on a roadside in a remote area.
The door of the passenger seat of the first truck was opened. The young man hopped off from the truck and walked backward.
Meanwhile, the door of the third one was also opened. The tall and sturdy man and the petite man got down.
They exchanged smiles.
The young man said in jest, “Good job, Phoebe. That bodyguards almost went nuts in anger.”
The petite man giggled, looking at the tall and sturdy man next to him in admiration.
He said sweetly, “It’s Stanford’s idea. The more I attracted their attention, the more they would focus on my ridiculous behavior. Thus, they won’t suspect our identities.”
Sure enough, that bodyguard was too angry to think about other things.
Other bodyguards didn’t suspect them at all. They never thought those truck drivers were disguised by Phoebe and others.
Probably, they wouldn’t think that they were the truck drivers even if they waited there for another ten days.
“Tsk. Tsk.”
Collin looked at Stanford with hidden complaints. “That’s a good plan indeed. Someone almost blew up when seeing the lazy man be scolded.”
Although Collin was sitting in front, he knew Stanford well. When seeing the expression change in Stanford’s eyes, he knew what Stanford wanted to do.
When the bodyguard grabbed Phoebe and scolded her. Stanford looked as if he wanted to beat the bodyguard up.
Collin was frightened when watching them.
Stanford looked annoyed. He took a look at Phoebe’s disguise and whispered, “I wasn’t considerable enough. It won’t happen again.”
He thought that Phoebe was a woman, so it would arouse some suspicions if she was a female truck driver. However, she being disguised as a man would look too petite, which would also arouse some suspicions.
Hence, he asked her to disguise herself as a weak and lazy driver. Others would regard her as a lazy man, so they wouldn’t suspect her character.
However, he hadn’t expected the bodyguard to treat Phoebe so rudely. He felt sorry for her.
Phoebe looked at him with her twinkling eyes, approaching him.
She asked, “Did your heart break for me, Stanford?”
Stanford stiffened, wondering how he should answer this question.
His ears blushed.
Phoebe noticed that he dodged from her eye contact, feeling delighted. She approached him closer.
Raising her head, she spoke while breathing onto his cheek, “Stanford, did your heart break for me? If you do, tell me loudly.”
Stanford looked at her in a daze, feeling so shy.
He wondered if he genuinely needed to tell her that out loud. It sounded so embarrassing.
He was a macho man, how could he?
However, when looking at Phoebe’s expectant eyes, he didn’t want to let her down.
He answered, stressing each syllable, “Ehn. I feel sorry for you.”
Phoebe stiffened, gaping at Stanford.
She was teasing him, but he truly spoke it out.
He admitted that he felt sorry for her.
Phoebe’s heart was racing. She tiptoed and pecked on his cheek aloud.
“This is your reward, Stanford.”
Looking at this wild woman, Stanford pressed his lips. His ears reddened more.
Collin held his forehead and couldn’t bear to see the scene at all.
It wasn’t a pretty scene indeed.
They both were disguised. One was an ugly man with a severe suntan, looking fierce. The other was an ugly and petite man. They stared at each other affectionately.
They even kissed.
That was genuinely hardcore.
Collin was sickened.
“Let’s go. I must go home as soon as possible and distance myself from you two,” said Collin in depression.
He walked towards the bush on the roadside.
Although the Turner family’s bodyguards wouldn’t find them for the time being and know they had escaped in the trucks, some people in the family were experienced with sharp eyes. If they failed to find them in Farnfoss City, they would focus on suspicious cars and the outer city.
They would be in danger if they kept going with this truck group.
Now, it was best for them to leave.
The mid-aged man stood aside and said respectfully, “See you around. The mountain roads are quite complicated. Please be careful.”
“Okay. Thank you,” Phoebe thanked the truck owner.
He had helped them a lot. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to escape from Farnfoss City so easily this time.
Stanford said in a cold tone, “Go to that man and seek the protection. Don’t come out for the time being.”
“Thank you so much for your consideration. We know what to do.”
The truck owner nodded and bowed, looking very respectful.
Phoebe was confused. She wondered whether the truck drivers knew who Stanford was, and they hadn’t met him before.
Normally, people in Farnfoss City should’ve heard the Turner family. To some extent, they worked for that family.
However, why were they willing to betray the Turner family and help Stanford?
Phoebe was quite talkative, and she was straightforward. After walking into the bush, she asked, “Stanford, why was that truck owner so respectful to you? What means have you used on him? Did you drug him or set up a honey-trap?”
