Chapter 796 Some Other People Are Here
“Let’s go! They’re still salvaging her, so they won’t find out we came here in a short time. But Felix
Bissel is a fox. When he searches for a while but can’t find her, he’ll know somebody has taken her
away. If he catches up to us, we don’t stand a chance against him.”
One of the men reminded the others.
Another man echoed, “Yeah. We’ve worked so hard and even sacrificed a member to get this woman.
We can’t let Felix Bissel snatch her away. Hurry up! The destination is only two mountains away. We
can get there in two hours. When we arrive, someone will come to pick us up.”
Therefore, the others quickened their paces.
But someone still asked curiously, “What secret does this woman carry? Why does Boss want her so
bad?”
Someone else replied, “Who knows? It’s Boss’s decision. Our job is to carry out his decisions without
asking any questions. But this chick is pretty. She can’t be the woman Boss fancies, can she?”
Another one sneered. “The woman he fancies? But she’s half-dead. What are you thinking?”
One of them chimed in, “Good point. If you ask me, I’d say this woman is involved in some kind of
business with Boss. Didn’t they say she’s Felix Bissel’s woman? He is Boss’s mortal enemy. Now we
have his woman, given his disposition, is he already at Boss’s mercy?”
When these words came out, those men roared with laughter.
It was at noon. The sun was shining directly over their heads. The trees on the mountain were so
dense that even the wind couldn’t get in, which made this place even more sultry.
After climbing for some time, these men were all drenched in sweat, panting. One of them halted and
complained, “I can’t do this any longer. I’m too tired. Let someone else carry her.”
Another one came to him. He bent over and said, “I’ll carry her. When I get tired, I’ll switch with you.”
“Okay.”
Thus, that man lay Queeny on the other man’s back.
After that, the group went on with the journey.
However, none of them noticed that when they were trudging forward in silence, the fingers of the
woman one of them was carrying moved slightly and her eyelashes quivered as well.
Yes, Queeny was awake now.
She was in so much pain that she felt all her limbs were out of joint and her head was about to explode.
Still, she woke up and strived to stay sober other than sinking into unconsciousness again.
She had heard the whole conversation these men just had.
At first, she didn’t know who drove over to hit her today. But from what she just heard, this accident had
something to do with Felix.
The man behind this might be Felix’s foe.
She found this rather ridiculous. When she was with Felix, she couldn’t get away with these plots. Now
she had left him, she still couldn’t avoid this sort of thing.
Was this fate?
Queeny felt rather conflicted.
She recalled the scene when that car rushed toward her. Then, she thought of Sarah, who pelted over
to push her out of harm’s way and got hit by the car instead. She still had no idea if Sarah was alive. At
this thought, her eyes brimmed with tears, and her heart leaped to her mouth.
“Sarah, please stay alive! You can’t die!”
“You still have so many dreams to realize. You haven’t established your fashion brand. You haven’t
become a world-famous fashion designer yet. You shall not die!” Queeny prayed in her head.
She had kept her eyes closed, so she still seemed unconscious.
Just then, some noises came from the woods.
The noises were very light.
It sounded like a wind rustling the leaves. Yet, on this airless noon, in the mountain covered by dense
trees that blotted out the sun and the sky, how could there be wind?
These villains seemed to have also noticed the subtle noises. Taken aback, they all paused in their
tracks.
“What was that sound?” one of them asked in an undertone.
The man by his side frowned. A trace of uneasiness flashed across his eyes. Still, he said soothingly,
“Perhaps it was just the wind. Relax. We’ll get there after climbing over this mountain. Let’s speed up.”
The others all nodded in agreement. Carrying Queeny with them, they picked up their paces and
headed for the mountaintop.
Right at this moment, Queeny realized what she heard were clearly hurried footsteps.
Her ears had been very sharp. When she was living with Mr. Webber in that orphanage, Mr. Webber
noticed that her hearing was extraordinarily keen, so he joked that she had super-hearing.
To those men, the noises were just a wind rustling leaves.
But she was sure the sounds were made by someone quickly walking on the earth covered by fallen
leaves. The noises sounded like rustling leaves, but there were some differences.
But the differences were very subtle. If one hadn’t heard the footsteps before or did not have sharp
ears, one wouldn’t be able to distinguish the sounds.
“Are some other people here?” Queeny wondered.
She had no idea that Felix had sent people tailing her and even put a positioning device on her.
Thus, at this time, she only knew that some people had come near this place.
As the footsteps were unified and swift, Queeny surmised that they were probably trained bodyguards
instead of ordinary people.
However, she wasn’t any bit glad about this discovery.
As she was heavily injured, her combat effectiveness had been slashed. She couldn’t even fight
against the few men before her. If another group of well-trained fighters came, her situation would even Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
be worse.
When she thought of this, apprehension washed over her.
At this precise moment, something abruptly whizzed past.
A bullet penetrated the dense woods and hit a man behind Queeny.
That man collapsed at once. Seeing this, the others turned pale. Alarmed, they halted and looked
around at the woods in a guarded posture.
Some people barged out from behind trees.
Perhaps because these men were not armed, these people no longer used guns. They moved really
fast. In the blink of an eye, they began to wrestle with this group of men.
The one carrying Queeny didn’t join the fight because he had to guard her.
But when he saw his fellows being taken down one by one, he couldn’t just stand there and do nothing.
Realizing that these people probably came here for Queeny, he showed a ruthless look on his face and
began to run toward the mountaintop with Queeny on his back.
The mountaintop was less than 500 meters ahead.
As long as he rushed there, he could jump onto the helicopter waiting there. Then, these people
couldn’t do anything to him.
The mission would be completed as well. Though he had lost some of his buddies, it was still a
success.
As he mused, his pace quickened some more.
However, just at this time, something that he least expected occurred.
The completely senseless woman lying on his back suddenly opened her eyes. Next, he felt a sharp
pain in his throat, for a hand had just whacked the softest part of his neck.
