482 Garrison (1/2)
”Let's go, let's go.” Anthony crawled out from under the bed with dust on his face with one hand holding the suitcase that was packed with the bomb. After he got out, he pushed the suitcase aside, crossed his legs, and sat down next to the bed. ”Did you forget I was removing the bomb under the bed? If not for me, it's pointless even if there's more analysis… I say, can you guys give me a more passionate reaction? No matter what, I'm the hero who just saved your lives.”
”Oh, right, Brother Shuang did say you were dealing with a bomb…” Su Zheng heard it on the other side as well, and then she snapped out of it and screamed, ”What! A bomb‽”
”It's been neutralized.” Ye Shuang was speechless. Seeing that Anthony had done his job with the bomb, she stood up and grabbed the scissors to cut away the ropes around Han Chu.
The latter shook off the cut ropes, got up from the bed, and moved about for a while before stretching his hands out to ask Ye Shuang for the communicator. He ordered matter-of-factly to the other side, ”Hand the phone to my father.”
Su Zheng was choked. After grumbling for a while, she unwillingly handed the communicator over.
”Hey, it's me.” Father Han's voice soon replaced Su Zheng's. ”You should understand the current situation now.”
Han Chu and Father Han had the same personality; they were both the calm type, the type that would not flinch when the sky was falling. Even though others were made helpless occasionally by these two's personality, they had to admit, when something serious happened, the completion rate of the plan that these two came up with would be very high, and it would give their people a sense of security…
”They did all this to lead Cedrick away.” Han Chu did not waste time and cut right to his chase. ”Madam Grace's forces are mostly in Cedrick's hands. Once he leads the people away, most of our actions will be made a lot complicated.”
Kidnapping Han Chu was to cover their tracks when kidnapping Grace, and kidnapping Grace was to distract Cedrick, who blocked the way, and to turn the allies against each other. The conflict between the government represented by Father Han and the gray area represented by Cedrick would grow.
”Hmm, this is a conspiracy,” Father Han replied. ”They will make a big move soon, and the target will be around here.”
When they saw Anthony run openly into the house, Father Han knew that Han Chu was the only one left. Even though he did not know that there was a bomb inside, wishing to run over to help when he was a mountain away was unrealistic. So, Father Han had ordered his man to investigate the exit of the tunnel that he had mentioned earlier and to check if there was another place to hide in the mountains. After the worry of his son being kidnapped passed, without the need to worry about being exposed, more clues and traces were found. Receiving the information from his people, and concluding the result, Father Han had started to get worried. ”Xiao Chu, you guys have to stay here.”
”I know.” Han Chu was not surprised by this result. ”At this moment, it is unwise to split your forces. Having people stay here will only weaken the forces somewhere else. The few of us will stay here. That is more than enough.”
After some simple communication, a consensus had been made between the father and son. Since the kidnapper had taken Han Chu there, even though his initial purpose was to distract the attention so that they could make their move on Madam Grace, there was probably something special about this place. Of course, this was not a concluded statement. Therefore, Father Han could not just leave his men behind without hesitation. Yet, just giving up this place was too reckless a decision, so leaving Han Chu's group behind became the best solution.
The local lack of security aside, the closest military power would need two hours to get there, and that was if they rushed all the way and did not have to submit any applications or need time to prepare. Thankfully, Father Han had planned ahead of time. Father Han gave Han Chu a contact number. If there was a need, he could call the number and get the local police mobilized instantly. Father Han and his people disappeared just like that. Ye Shuang's group led Han Chu back to the girl's home where they had been staying earlier.
