"Ashley is really useless. Kill her." Betty glanced at me and ignored me.
Fortunately, those men did not pay attention to her. They took us back to the place where we were imprisoned. They pushed us into the house and tied our hands and feet. This time, we really had no way to escape.
"If you dare play tricks again, I don't mind chopping off your arms." The man beaten by Betty touched the back of his head and said coldly to us.
I gave him a look and didn't say anything.
Betty glared at me with an angry face, "It's all your fault. You said that we could leave in this way, but we were still caught and brought back."
"You shut up." I put on a cold face and looked at her unhappily.
Betty was so angry that she turned her head and ignored me. I didn't want to pay attention to this vicious woman, either. I closed my eyes quietly.
"Edward, you're finally here."
"Joe, let the two of them go."
Just when I was in a daze, I heard Edward's voice coming from outside the door.
I woke up, so did Betty. Just as I wanted to hear clearly what they were talking about, Betty couldn't wait to shout at the door, "Edward, I'm Betty."
I heard her anxious voice and the corner of my mouth twitched speechlessly.
I really didn't want to pay attention to this stupid woman. But we were tied up together.
"Creak." The door was opened at this time. I saw Edward in black.
He seemed to come alone. It seemed that these men had other purposes besides money.
"Betty, Ashley." Edward immediately called out our names after seeing us.
Betty was very excited. She wanted to stand up and rush toward Edward. However, because her legs were tied up, she could only look at him with tears in her eyes.
"Edward, save me quickly."
"Joe, tell me about your conditions." After glancing at Betty, Edward turned his head and said to Joe.
Joe touched his chin and looked at Edward. He said, "You know what I want. Hand over the USB stick of your company in North America and I will let them

go.
"I'll ask Paul to give you what you want later."
"Since you're so frank, I won't make things difficult for you. But you killed one of my dudes last time, how do you want to settle this?" Not only did Joe want the USB disk, but he also wanted Edward's life?
Looking at Edward, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious. "Then what do you want?" Edward raised his chin. His handsome face was filled with coldness.
"Since you're here today, I will give you a present. I hope you won't thank me so much." Joe's expression was wired. I cried out, "Edward, be careful."
"Edward." Just as I wanted to get up from the ground, Betty was faster than me. After knocking me away, she rushed straight to Edward.
"Chi." I heard a piercing sound. I widened my eyes and saw Betty's abdomen being stabbed.
"Betty." Edward let out a hoarse growl and hugged Betty's body.
I didn't expect that Betty loved Edward that much.
"Edward." Betty grabbed Edward's hand, and her beautiful face was covered with sweat.
"Edward, this time I will make it impossible for you to go back. Do you think that I only want those U-disks? Our ultimate goal is to kill you."
All of a sudden, Joe's laughter came from outside.
He actually broke his words and locked the door.
"Let's get out first, Edward." I suppressed the bitterness in my heart as I growled at Edward.
We must go out to save Betty. Besides, I didn't think the wound was very deep. Betty's life was not in danger for the time being.
Edward looked back at me, hugged Betty's body, took out a pistol from his pocket and fired at the door lock. Then the door was opened.
"Boom!" As soon as the door was opened, there was a sudden explosion around us. I was shocked by the explosion and looked at the collapsed house in a daze.
Holding Betty in his arms and taking my hands, Edward lay on the ground and avoided those things that had fallen down.
"Keke... Edward, it hurts." Betty leaned in Edward's arms and called out his name in a weak voice.
I took a look at Betty. Her face was pale and she looked really painful.
Although the knife did not stab into her deeply, she was still injured.
"Ashley, wait for me here for a moment. I will send her out first and come over to save you immediately." Edwards's face fell as he turned around and said to me.
After taking a look at Edward, I said indifferently, "I will go out by myself."
"Wait for me here. I will be back soon." Edward ignored me and rushed out with Betty in his arms.
Looking at his back, I couldn't help but feel a little bitter.
He left me behind and protected Betty.
When I was about to leave this place, a flame suddenly appeared around me, and the oil barrels around me suddenly burned.
