---- Chapter 191 When Liam heard James' commanding tone, he frowned even more. "Stop trying to act high and mighty. Instead, you should think about who you've offended before. The police said that it's unlikely Wendy was attacked by a patient's family as revenge. There's a higher chance that it has to do with your family's social ties," Liam said coldly. As Liam said this, he turned the steering wheel and drove onto the highway. James fell silent for a moment.

Instead of retorting like usual, he simply said, "I know. Contact me if you have news." After saying this, he hung up the call. Liam stared into the darkness ahead. His nervousness spiked, and his heart pounded even faster. The darker and further he got, the more unpredictable the danger would be. He didn't dare to overthink or let himself slow down for even. a second. With dangerous speed, he drove into the darkness. The police cars spread out to investigate in many different directions.

Compared to Liam and James, the police were doing a more holistic search over a wider area. This was because they lost ---- track of the car that kidnapped Wendy after they saw it driving in the southwest direction. Liam chose the likeliest direction the car could have gone, according to the police's analysis. He knew that James took the road in the other direction. The storm was getting heavier.

Even if the windshield wipers were set at the highest speed, it was hard to see the road ahead clearly. Wendy couldn't tell how much time had passed. She only felt like this journey was taking an eternity. Despair settled upon her during the long journey. The skin on her wrists had begun to tear, but the ropes loosened up only a bit. It was still impossible to get her hands out of the ropes. Her head still felt heavy from the drugged cloth.

Coupled with the pain on her arms, rather than feeling more clear-headed, Wendy started to feel slightly tired. Malcolm glanced outside and said worriedly, "The rain is getting heavier. It'll last for two hours. If we keep going, I'm afraid it'll be day by the time we arrive." "What should we do, Malcolm? Should we call our employer? There are a lot of large cars on this road.

If we keep driving on, we might get into an accident ," Hudson said as he stretched out his neck to look at the road outside, being extremely ---- careful. It would be meaningless if they died with this woman before they even got the money. Malcolm frowned and took out his phone. "Alright, let's rest at the rest stop ahead. There's no news of the police trying to intercept us.

They probably haven't found our car yet." "Alright." Hudson's voice was tinged with delight when he said, "If the employer allows it, we'll be accompanied by a beautiful woman tonight. What a great deal!" Wendy's heartbeat quickened. The two of them were definitely not good people. She knew what they wanted to do. Wendy bit down on her lip as her wrists began to move more.

She heard the man in the passenger seat as he made a call and described the situation respectfully , which meant the other party had to be rich and influential. The voice from the call leaked out from the speakers of the man's crappy phone. Wendy wanted to hear the person's voice. Unfortunately , the sound of rain drowned out most of it. She could only hear bits and pieces of the voice, which made it hard for her to recognize it. "Yes, sir.

Once the rain subsides a little, we'll bring her over immediately. We're sorry to keep you waiting, but don't worry. The two of us are always reliable. Nothing will go ---- wrong." She caught onto the keyword "Sir" again. So, it was a man with money and status. Wendy's mind already began to come up with an image of such a person. Only a person in the business industry would fit into such an image. Was the other party someone on bad terms with James?

Wendy was too absorbed in her thoughts and didn't notice that she had torn her lips with her teeth. Only when the sharp smell of blood filled her mouth did she snap back to her senses.
