They could clearly feel waves of heat surging up from under their feet.
The two of them did not dare to delay. They increased their speed and finally arrived at the end of the straight ladder.
There was probably a manhole cover at the top. Jeffrey, who was leading the way, pushed hard and realized that the top was probably sealed shut, so he couldn’t push it open at all.
“Dodge!”
With one hand on his body, Corey took out a long gun barrel from his pocket with his other hand and put it on his gun. Then, he took out a bullet as thick as a thumb and loaded it into the magazine. He directly fired a shot at the manhole cover!
Bang!
The manhole cover was blown away! A burst of fresh air rushed in.
Jeffrey felt something explode beside his ear, causing his ears to ring.
The two of them panted as they crawled out from the bottom of the pit.
Only then did Jeffrey realize that he had been brought to the wilderness.
Suddenly, the sound of a car came from not far away.
Jeffrey’s heart tightened, thinking that it was another enemy. He immediately tightened his grip on the gun in his hand, but he saw Corey stand up first.
“Hey, be careful.” He wanted to pull her down and lie on the ground.
He didn’t expect Corey to backhand and hit him on the back of his neck.
“You!” Jeffrey fell to the ground with his eyes wide open. Before he lost consciousness, the only thing he could see was Corey’s emotionless eyes under the mask.
He had just left the wolf’s den and entered the tiger’s den!
Jeffrey could only blame himself for being too trusting of others. When he saw someone come to save him, he mistakenly thought that the other party was really a good person.
If there was a next time, he wouldn’t believe it!
Of course, that was if there was a next time.
Jeffrey suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
“Ah!” His neck was aching, which showed how much hatred Corey had for him.
He covered his neck and looked at where he had been transferred to. However, when he took a closer look, he realized that something was wrong.
The furnishings in the room, the needle on his hands, and the smell in the air made it look like he was in a hospital.
Could it be that the kidnappers were so kind as to send him to the hospital? Just then, someone pushed the door open and entered. “Oh, Sir, you’re finally awake.”
Jeffrey looked at the clothes he was wearing and asked uncertainly, “You’re a nurse?”
“Without a doubt. Of course, if you think you’re in a restaurant, you can also think of me as a waiter. However, in that case, you’ll have to tip me.”
The nurse teased and took the two empty bottles. “Since you’re awake, I can inform your family.”
Jeffrey clenched his fists. “You can help me inform my family?”
Did this mean that there was no one guarding him outside, or were they trying to blackmail his family through him?
“Of course, as long as you provide me with their contact information.” The nurse took out a piece of paper and a pen from her pocket and placed them in front of him.
Jeffrey took it over and wrote it down. He asked tentatively, “I don’t seem to remember how I came to the hospital. Can you tell me?”
“I’m not sure about the exact situation. I only heard from the security guard that you were thrown at the entrance of the hospital. Then, other than a wad of cash, there was nothing else on you.”
The nurse took the note with his phone number and guessed that something bad must have happened to him. She even kindly suggested, “If you need it, I can help you call the police.”
“I don’t need it for now. Help me contact my family first.”
Although the nurse was currently harmless, Jeffrey did not dare to trust others easily after what had happened in the department.
Therefore, before he was sure that he was really safe, he did not dare to act rashly.
“Alright, I’ll help you contact your family first.” The nurse waved the note in her hand. “By the way, you still need to tell me your name. Otherwise, I’m afraid your family will think I’m a liar.”
“Just tell them I’m Jeffrey.”
“Alright, Jeffrey.” The nurse went out to the front desk to make a call.
Jeffrey looked at the time. It had been two and a half days since he was kidnapped.
After confirming that there was no one in the room, he used the blanket to cover himself and reached out to touch his socks. As expected, the positioning
chip and the socks were gone..
