“We found Laura.” It took a while for Clara to believe that she didn’t hear it wrong. Laura was found. It was like Clara’s long-desolate heart started to beat again.
“Let’s go for Neo.”
Clara knew that her health was almost fine now, and she could still recuperate at home after she rescued Neo.
Clara had been depressed lately, and now that she was finally cheered up a little. Horace didn’t want to disappoint Clara, so he nodded. He helped Clara put on her shoes and pack her stuff.
“Leave it to me. Go take care of the paperwork,” said Clara. They were soon ready.
Horace sent the stuff home by taxi and then headed to the address given by the detective agency Clara, followed by four bodyguards.
The place was very remote. Laura must have chosen it to hide from Horace’s men.
Getting closer and closer to that place, Clara was more and more nervous. She was afraid that they would fail again like the first time.
Horace seemed to understand Clara’s worries. He reached out and shook Clara’s hand, trying to make her less nervous. He would take care of everything.
Clara looked at Horace, feeling slightly relieved. Yeah, with Horace, she had nothing to be afraid of.
Thinking of this, Clara cheered herself up. She looked at the road in front of her, observing every detail of the surrounding in case something happened. Horace was holding Clara close to him.
Clara has just been discharged from the hospital. He wasn’t sure how much she had recovered. He wished her to be fine.
As time passed, they finally arrived, Horace helped Clara out of the car, and the four bodyguards also got out of the car, standing beside them, waiting for Clara and Horace to go first.
Clara and Horace looked around and found the place was just as deserted as the last one. Clara walked carefully as she entered the building with Horace.
Laura was sitting on top of the building, with her hands on her head and her eyes closed, basking in the sun, eating fruit from the table from time to time, having no idea that danger was approaching.
Laura believed that no one can find this place. But arrogant people often didn’t end up well, such as Laura now.
Clara and Horace tried to move as lightly as possible to avoid being noticed. Finally, upstairs, they saw the person they had been looking for.
Finally! They found Laura.
Everything they did was worth it. Clara was very excited, but she controlled herself. Not seeing Neo, her heart sank. She immediately rushed forward to question the culprit.
“Laura!” Clara called out.
Laura’s first instinct was to run, but as soon as she turned around, a bodyguard pointed a gun at her head.
Laura turned in a different direction, another gun was waiting for her. She panicked, she never thought that they could find her. And they seemed to be well prepared.
They even brought guns! Laura looked at Clara, angry, resentful. Why hadn’t Clara died?
Laura saw Clara cut her wrists, but now Clara was standing in front of her intact. Laura wanted to kill Clara, but she couldn’t.
She knew that if she moved, those people would shoot and she would die immediately. Laura’s face was distorted by hatred.
“Clara, why are you still alive? Why can’t you just die!” Laura yelled at Clara, tears of remorse streaming from her eyes. She hated Clara’s good fortune and regretted that she didn’t leave after making sure Clara was dead.
“I am sorry to disappoint you. Where is Neo? Tell me now!”
Clara looked at Laura. She was determined to save Neo today. She knew she could do it.
Yet Laura said, “Neo’s dead.”
Hearing this, Clara paused, then smiled, looked at Laura, and said, “Do you think I’m an idiot? If you’ve killed Neo, why are you panicking instead of showing off?”
Clara’s questioning stumped Laura.
“Believe me or not. Watching blood flowing down Neo’s wrist was more satisfying than seeing you bleed.” Laura watched Clara’s facial expression slowly change and then said crazily.
Clara felt a chill down her spine. She didn’t know what to say. Horace, who was holding Clara, sensed Clara’s uneasiness. He pulled Clara behind him, then looked at Laura.
“Laura, stop acting. Where is Neo? Tell me, I’ll let you suffer less before dying.” To Horace, Laura must die; but if she cooperated with them, Horace might show some mercy.
“As I’ve said, Neo is dead. Clara, come over, I’ll tell you where Neo’s body is.” Laura waved at Clara and looked at Clara expectantly.
That was a good reason. Clara was determined to take Neo away, dead or alive. She planned to go over to Laura.
“Don’t go, Clara.” Horace felt it was a trap. He tried to stop Clara.
However, Clara got rid of his grip and stepped forward.
Laura looked at Clara, who was walking step by step, feeling excited. Horace, on the other hand, asked the bodyguards to get ready to shoot. The four bodyguards understood.
Clara was now anxious to know Neo’s whereabouts, so she walked very fast. She looked at Laura and said, “You can tell me now.”
“Alright, Neo’s body is in…” Clara had tried her best not to cry. Now she only wanted to know Neo’s whereabouts, hoping only that Laura was not deceiving her this time.
Just as Clara was listening with all her attention. Laura swiftly turned around and put a knife on Clara’s neck. Frightened, Horace raised the gun in his hand and pointed at Laura, in case of missing any slightest movement of her.
