“Where are you going this time?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Get out of here and go to city D. It’s a beautiful environment and it’s close to the sea. Let’s relax there.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“But…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“But what?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At the end of the conversation, Claire changes the subject again and says, “Juan will monitor the whole B city. It’s very difficult for us to leave.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You also says that Juan monitors City B, but you are still safe under his eyes. So, success is up to people, not to be so pessimistic about things.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire can’t speak of Ashley, so she has to eat noodles in silence, thinking about something else. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ashley’s performance is really strange. What she just said is even more strange. Now she has to take me to city D, I… Can I believe her? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But anyway, with Ashley, it must be safer than Juan. Besides, if I leave here, I can contact with Leo. Leo will come to find me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Thinking of these, Claire is relieved and accelerates the speed of eating. She plans to start soon. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Looking at subordinate’s frightened look, Leo presses his lips tightly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Not catching up?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“The tracking signal is broken, but they won’t be far away. I find their car.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Where does it stop?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Right ahead.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Go and have a look.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He takes Leo to the side of the road, reaches for the car abandoned by Ashley and says, “That’s one.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At this time, it is already dawn. Someone pass by on the street in twos and threes. Seeing Leo and others, they all looks curiously. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo ignores all kinds of eyes, looks around and says, “They must be near here, not far away. We will send more people to guard the county’s exits and when we see people, we will immediately stop them.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Remember, that woman has a gun. Don’t let her hurt Claire.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I see.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Go down.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As soon as the command is arranged, Leo’s mobile phone rings. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It’s from Conan. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo immediately picks it up and then he hears Conan’s urgent voice. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Daddy, I find another important clue!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo’eyes bright, hurriedly asks, “What clue?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Ashley has an accomplice in the county, who is responsible for information exchange at ordinary times. I guess it’s quite possible that she’s coming to her accomplice.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Give me the information about that buddy.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It’s already on Daddy’s cell phone.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Very good!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Hang up the phone, Leo looks up the information, then calls his subordinates and orders, “Call all the people back and go to this little hotel.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire in the hotel doesn’t know that the people he is thinking about is in the county and is getting closer to her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Packs up, Claire goes downstairs to meet with Ashley. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ashley gets another SUV and is carrying two black boxes on it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Curiously, Claire looks up and down and asks, “What is it? It looks very heavy.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It’s a life-saving thing when critical moment.” Put the box on the back seat, Ashley claps her hands and asks, “Are you all ready?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Well, it’s ready.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Then let’s go.” With that, Ashley waves to Bruce again and says, “Thanks a lot this time. Please write down the things on the account and I will supply you next time.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Bruce gives Ashley one white eye and says, “You do not have the opportunity to supply me, unlucky!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ashley smiles, doesn’t speak again, sits in the car and throws the car door casually. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Hey, be careful on the way.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The arm stretches out from the window, waves to the Bruce and Ashley drives away slowly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As the car drifts away, Bruce sighs and says, “I hope to see you in the headquarters.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The county in the daytime is more lively than the county in the evening. The pedestrians walk slowly on the street, with a relaxed appearance. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But Claire can’t relax, lying on the window, her head is faint. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Why don’t you talk?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I didn’t sleep well last night. I am a little sleepy.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Then close your eyes and have a rest. When we get to the place, I’ll call you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire shanks her head and says, “No, I can’t sleep. I don’t know if Juan’s people will suddenly appear. I want to stay awake.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ashley smiles and says, “Even if you stay awake, what can you do?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire doesn’t like to hear this. She crosses her waist and says, “Even though I’m not as good as you, but I’ve got more hands, I can still give you something.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“This… I really don’t need it.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This guy,why can’t take care of other people’s mood! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Finding that Claire doesn’t speak again, Ashley glances at her sideways and says with a smile, “Why, Are you angry?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire doesn’t care about Ashley. She just feels her head hurt more. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Well, don’t be angry. Listen to me and have a good rest. Only by keeping your strength up can you have a chance to help.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Hum, who needs help? I don’t want to be blamed…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire doesn’t finish, because she seems to see a familiar figure. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Rubbing her eyes, Claire put her head out of the window and opens her eyes larger. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
On the car in the next lane, there is a man with a deep brow, like a sculpture. Men with a natural king of gas, just a look, can make people bow to minister. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
And this man is no other, is Leo. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The smile on her face grows bigger and bigger. Claire murmurs, “I’m not dreaming, is that man really Leo?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire says, reaching out and pinching herself. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What a pain!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although it hurt, Claire laughs even more brightly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“This is not a dream, he is really!” Turning to look at Ashley, Claire says excitedly, “My husband has come, he has come to pick me up! Ashley, stop now. I’m going to find Leo!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire says loudly, but Ashley doesn’t seem to hear her and drives the car faster. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Ashley, what’s the matter with you? Can’t you hear what I’m talking about?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Of course, Ashley hears that. That’s why she wants to drive faster and get rid of Leo! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Just when Claire is at a loss, Leo sees her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The beloved is right in front of him, but Leo dare not press too hard. He is afraid that Ashley will do something crazy under anger. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Claire…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It seems to hear the low voice of Leo. Claire turns to look at him and their eyes meet in the air. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Seeing Leo again several days later, Claire is so excited that she wants to cry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Seeing Leo safe and sound, Claire smiles happily. She wants to say something to Leo. Her lips moves, but she finds that she could not make a sound. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
What’s the matter? Why do I feel so tired and sleepy? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I can’t sleep now. Leo is here. I will go home with him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Struggling to open her eyes, Claire leans against the car window and finally falls asleep. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Damn, what’s the matter with Claire! <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
