Chapter 912 Danger Was Approaching
“I’m just very curious about how Miss Clinton teaches children,” said Professor Campion, who married his wife straight out of the college campus. Although the initial passion was no longer there, their relationship remained strong. They came to this variety show to broaden their children’s horizons. Upon seeing how cute Ben and Anna were, they became interested in asking about them. Neil’s gaze fell on Joe, who was close to Charlotte. His eyes darkened, “I heard Mr. Smith is deeply enamored with Miss Clinton, very possessive, naturally prone to jealousy.” Both he and Professor Campion are men, so to some extent, they understand Joe’s feelings. They exchanged glances and smiled. On the other side, Ben and Anna were also very curious about Dennis, who was acting shy and had his head lowered. Though they had many friends, most were outgoing social butterflies. A shy kid like Dennis was indeed rare. Anna looked at Dennis’ flushed face and exclaimed, “Why is your face so red?”
Dennis was already shy. Now, both Ben and Anna focused on him, and he almost broke into tears, “I…” Seeing him stammering, Anna simply took his hand, “Never mind; let’s go pick corn.” Today’s task was to pick twenty ears of corn in the field. Whoever finished first would get to choose where they stayed for the night. Ben and Anna had already stayed in a country villa and a thatched cottage, and now they were set on choosing the log cabin to stay in. The reason they gave left Charlotte both amused and puzzled. Since they were already here, why not try staying in each type of accommodation? It was hard to deny that Ben and Anna’s rationale is quite valid, leaving neither
Charlotte nor Joe able to refuse. Ben and Anna hurriedly dragged Dennis into the cornfield. At that moment, the following cameramen also sensed something was off. As the three little kids entered the cornfield, the tall cornstalks completely hid them from view. They moved so quickly that the cameramen had no chance to catch up, and soon they were out of sight. “Should we inform Director Fenton?” Realizing the children had disappeared, everyone was momentarily alarmed, and one of the cameramen urgently asked. The lead cameraman hesitated for a moment and finally shook his head, “It’s just a task. If they can’t find the corn, they’ll come out.” Informing Jerome would not only result in a scolding but would also create a huge scene. So it’s better not to. The cameramen, understanding that losing the kids would not bode well, all pointed their cameras toward the cornfield, waiting for the children to emerge on their own. What the cameramen didn’t know was that at the moment when the three kids entered the cornfield, a group of ruthless criminals had also arrived there. “Why the hell aren’t we taking the main road? Why go through a cornfield?” Several unfamiliar faces swiftly darted into one end of the cornfield, and one of the women loudly complained. Leading them was a man named Garry. Hearing the complaint, he turned back and glanced at her indifferently. The somewhat reluctant woman immediately felt a jolt of energy and quickened her pace. These people were a group of human traffickers. Recently hotly pursued by the police for their numerous wrongdoings, they reluctantly took a detour into this
small village. They plan to pass through the village and escape to another province.
