Being pushed suddenly, Jim fell straight back to the seat behind him.
It hurt so much that he grimaced in pain.
"F*ck! Who was the one who pushed..."
Before he could finish his words, he was shocked by Monique's glare.
Monique looked completely different from before.
She looked so unapproachable that the cold look in her eyes could make anyone's blood run cold.
Petrified, Jim sat back silently.
There were police officers from the other side coming towards them as they noticed their vehicle's abnormal behavior.
Nelson pretended to attempt an escape by turning the steering wheel. It was just that the police were faster.
As he expected, the police reached them and stopped their car, saying, "Who are you? Don't you know that there's an event here today? Why are you still driving here? Show me your license!"
Nelson gave Monique an inquiring look, and she looked back at him too.
Then, she threw him a driving license and said, "Use this!"
He tried his best to stay calm. After that, he rolled down the window, and looked at the policeman with a smile.
"We're just passing through. We're not doing this on purpose."
The policeman took over the license and observed it, asking, "Is this you?"
"Yes!" said Nelson while nodding, but he secretly winked at the policeman. He was uncertain if the policeman had managed to take the hint or not, but the police handed the license back to him.
"Thankfully, no one got hurt. You guys have to be careful next time. Be on your way now!"
Nelson took back the license, and started to drive away shortly afterwards.
It was not until they were almost a hundred meters away from the police that everyone in the car let out a sigh of relief.
Nelson held the steering wheel tightly as he wondered what his actions could be if the policeman had failed to perceive anything suspicious.
"Miss Monique, is your hand injured?" asked Frida, who was sitting in the back seat of the car.
Nelson glanced at Monique's hand. The back of her hand had probably hit the inside of the car when she tried to stop Jim just then, and there was a bruise on it.
Monique waved her hand and said, "It's okay!"
The subordinates behind her saw that she was not as exasperated as she was just then, therefore they started to whisper among each other.
"Miss Monique, why did you stop Jim just now? If we simply drove through just now, it would have saved us the trouble of being questioned by the police. If they start to suspect us, well be in great trouble!"
Hearing their words, Monique instantly became fierce.
"Shut up! I have told you that we are evil, but we can't hurt children."
The subordinate, who had stood up for Jim, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and exchanged a look with his colleagues. To them, Monique being compassionate was the biggest joke they had ever heard.
Meanwhile, Nelson was remaining silent.
He was thinking about the situation just then. What was the policeman doing at the moment? Did he notice Nelson's hints or not?
As he was thinking about that, he noticed a few cars behind them through the rear-view mirror.
The cars seemed to be very low-profile, but they moved rapidly and were about to surround their car in no time.
Nelson's initial surprise was soon replaced by delight. He wondered if they were the police. Just as he was thinking about that, Jim had also noticed that something was amiss.
"Miss Monique, what's the matter with those cars?"
Compared to the others, Monique was much more alert. She cast a glance behind and immediately frowned. She said, "It's the police! Hurry, speed up!"
Upon hearing that, Nelson pretended to step harshly on the gas pedal, but in reality, he only accelerated the car a bit.
