Thinking that the men in black had been taken care of by the driver, Nicole felt relieved. ‘1 didn’t have to lift a finger, and someone else takes care of the matter. That’s great!’
Nicole thought she did not need to go all the way to the suburbs. She wanted to ask the driver to send her back. Just as she was about to speak, a car filled with men in black suddenly pulled up in front of the taxi and blocked their way.
‘That’s it. I guess I’ll have to go to the suburbs after all,’ Nicole said silently in her heart.
The two cars stopped at the intersection while facing each other. The driver was smoking his cigarette calmly while looking at the car in front of him.
On the other hand, the man in black fiercely stared at the taxi in front. The driver stepped onto the accelerator from time to time, making the car roar.
After staring for a while, the men in black began to feel impatient. They wanted to get down from the car and take Nicole. As they were about to push the door open, Nicole’s car sped forward, threatening to crash into them. All they wanted was to catch Nicole, not die with her. Seeing
Nicole’s car speed up, they quickly pushed their door open and jumped out of the car.
Unexpectedly, the taxi brushed past their car and drove into the alley. Once the men in black noticed that the taxi was not going to run into them, they quickly got back into the car and chased after Nicole.
From his rear-view mirror, the driver noticed that the men had followed them. Then, he began to maneuver around the alley to shake them off.
When they passed by an alley, no one was blocking in front, but the driver honked and drove into it.
When the men in black drove past them, a bag of flour fell from the sky and covered their car instantly. The windshield was covered with a layer of flour, causing them to lose sight of the road.
The men in black sprayed some water on the windshield, thinking it would help him see the road ahead. However, when he turned on the wiper, the whole windshield was covered with flour paste. That made it even more troublesome, and it would have been easier if they got down and wiped it off.
In desperation, they stopped the car to clean off the water and flour on their windshield.
The taxi driver stopped the car not far from them and looked behind. After that, he drove out of the alley.
Since no cars were tailing them from behind anymore, the driver drove to the suburbs. Nicole also knew that the men in black did not have any vehicles to use, so they would not be able to find her anytime soon. She spoke to the driver, “Sir, I don’t feel like going to the suburbs anymore.Please send me to Mason Lane.”
“Miss, I’d advise you not to go to Mason Lane. Rumor has it that the area has been quite dangerous recently,” the driver kindly reminded her.
“I know. Just drop me off there,” Nicole replied expressionlessly.
“Alright,” the driver replied without concern. Then, he drove the car and headed toward Mason Lane.
The journey to Mason Lane was quite long. So, Nicole whipped out her phone to check on Jared’s situation whenever she felt bored in the car.
The surroundings looked exactly like how it was when she left. Jared was quietly lying there and in a deep sleep. She zoomed into his lashes and noticed that they were still. Nicole sighed. “When are you going to wake up?
At the hospital, Martin noticed that the surveillance camera was moving. He smiled at the camera and waved. When Nicole saw him waving, she moved the camera to greet him.
“Nicole, can you hear me?” Martin looked at the camera and asked. He wanted to know if that thing worked and make sure it was not a useless product.
Nicole moved the camera again to signal that she could hear him.
“Nicole, you should be able to speak too, right?”
Nicole checked the application and adjusted the setting. Then, she said, “Is everything fine on your side?’
“I can hear you now. Everything is fine here.” Martin replied to Nicole.
Nicole felt that it was interesting that she could use the camera to communicate with Martin. Then, she chatted with Martin for a while.
While they talked, the driver had brought them to Mason Lane.
He parked the car and turned to Nicole. “We’re here.”
Nicole looked out and saw that the streets were quite empty. It was almost like a dead town.
