Everything was going smoothly when a Hummer suddenly sped up behind them. Seeing that it was driving fast, the van moved aside for it to overtake them, but they didn’t expect the Hummer to brake in front of them after it passed through.
The van didn’t expect all that so it was too late for them to slow down, and they collided.
The strong impact crushed the head of the van. Both the people in the driver and passenger’s seat were trapped in the car.
Valeria, who feigned unconsciousness, had put on her seat belt and was not thrown up because of the impact, but the man who guarded her was not so lucky.
He was used to playing games with his mobile phone and had the habit of not fastening his seat belt. When the cars collided, he was thrown onto the roof and fell hard.
Seeing this, Valeria unbuckled her seat belt and kicked him hard in the groin.
The man never dreamed that he would be treated like this. His reproductive organ was about to be broken by the kick, and he let out a tragic howl.
As he howled, the door was pulled open from the outside. The bodyguard who opened the door was stunned when he saw Valeria. He immediately picked up his cell phone and said, “Miss Brown is in the car!”
Bobby had asked another car to stop the van. He felt that there was something fishy, but he was not completely sure that Valeria was in the car. He was already a kilometer away from the location but immediately turned back when he heard the news.
His face was full of surprise when he saw that Valeria was unscathed, “Miss Brown! This is great! I finally found you!”
She was relieved when she saw him, “Bobby, is my husband worried? Tell him I’m fine so he can rest assured.”
His eyes were gloomy, “Miss Brown, please get in the car first and follow me.”
Valeria got in the car with him and left the accident to the other two bodyguards.
Bobby called Marcus while driving and said, “Miss Brown has been found and is safe. I am sending her back right now. Arrange for someone to pick her up at once. I am in a rush to look for William.”
She was confused when she heard this, “What’s wrong with my husband?”
He sighed, “He is in trouble but don’t worry, he will be fine.”
“What trouble?” Her heart started beating faster.
“A car accident! He went to find you, but he was plotted against. He fell into the river along with his car.”
His words shocked her as she asked, “How could this happen?”
Seeing her pale face, he had to comfort her, “Mr. Clark and Marcus have arranged for people to search for him. He has always been lucky, so it will be alright. You can go back and wait patiently. I’ll inform you as soon as I get the news.”
She didn’t listen to his words. How could he be fine after an accident like that?
“I want to go there! Take me there right now!”
“Miss Brown, it’s better if you went back to rest. You won’t be able to help Mr. Howard, even if you go there.”
“No! I must go! No matter what, I must find him!” Her lips were trembling, “Bobby, take me to him right now! If I can’t find him, what’s the point of living?”
Seeing that she insisted to go, he had no other way. After calling Marcus, he took her to the riverside where the accident happened.
In the hospital, Hardy was pacing back and forth in the ward uneasily. Bevan came in a hurry.
“Mr. Anthony, the situation at the gas station has been dealt with. The drivers of the two trucks died on the spot. There are no loopholes for investigation.”
“Well done,” He let out a sigh of relief, and Bevan continued to report, “I just got the news that several salvage ships have gathered at the place where William had an accident. Richard, Archer, and Marcus have also rushed to the scene.”
“That’s a good thing. The more people who go, the more unlikely it will be for William to survive,” Hardy looked at his watch with a sneer, “It has been four hours since he fell into the river. He should have no chance to live, right?”
“Yes, normal people can only hold their breath underwater for one or two minutes at most, while professional-trained people can only do it for five minutes. He fell with his car! In this situation, there is no possibility for him to survive at all.”
“That being said, we can’t let our guard down. Let’s hope that God will bless us and not give him a chance to survive,” He then asked about Valeria, “Is Valeria alright?”
“According to your orders, none of us came into direct contact with her. After she fainted, she was handed over to several people in the underworld. These people are all well-skilled in this area. There won’t be any problem if she is under their care.”
“Did she take the medicine?”
“Yes! I’ve arranged for someone to send it,” Bevan replied, “Mr. Anthony, you can rest assured that the car has always been under our control. We have a camera in the car. At present, they are rushing to the foot of the mountain where the accident occurred. I guess they’re not that dumb since the safest place is the most dangerous one…”
As soon as he finished his sentence, his phone rang. The line connected and a hasty voice came, “Something went wrong. The hostage has been taken away!”
“What? When did this happen?” He was shocked and his voice changed.
“Just five minutes ago! The hostage has been rescued and the three people have been taken into custody. What should we do now?”
Bevan didn’t say anything. Hardy ferociously grabbed the phone and said, “Cut off the contact with the three people and the people who came in contact with them! Don’t leave any clues.”
After they agreed, Bevan sweated profusely. He felt a chill in his heart when he saw how fierce Hardy was.
Hardy kicked the chair over, “D*mn it! If I had known, I would… It’s too late to say anything now. Now I don’t know what kind of reaction she will have to the medicine.”
“Isn’t it said that she would have amnesia? She will forget all her experiences,” Bevan carefully answered.
“What I want isn’t her amnesia. What I want is for her to only remember the good side of me. If she doesn’t remember me, then how can I gain from her?” he was extremely furious.
His original plan was to have her eat the medicine to lose her memory. Then, he would find her and build a deep relationship with her before bringing her back. Now, the situation had completely changed. Except for William, who had been plotted against, none of his plans had succeeded.
Even if William was trapped, death was part of his plan. If he didn’t see his corpse, it was hard to say what would happen next.
At the riverside, it was pitch black with only the moonlight glistening. The only thing that could be seen was the salvage boats bustling about on the river.
Richard, Marcus, Archer, and the others stood by the river and smoked one cigarette after another. All of them looked anxious and worried.
The sound of footsteps came in a hurry. Marcus turned around and saw Valeria stumbling and rushing towards them under Bobby’s escort.
