That day, Auntie Valerie brought her little grandson with him. He was way older than Juju but the two children had a great time playing together. They did not speak to each other but it was an inexplicably harmonious sight to watch.
Eudora was very relieved and she went back to the office with Amos after lunch.
However, Eudora started yawning as soon as she left as she had a late night the day before.
Amos then patted his lap, "Rest for a bit. I'll wake you up when we reach the alley."
Eudora still needed to go to the construction site in the afternoon, so she did not refuse. She took a cushion next to her and made it into a make-shift pillow. Before she fell asleep, she saw a patrol car driving past them.
She took a glance at the vehicle and seemingly saw Wendy in the car.
"That is..."
"The investigation on Wendy's case is over and I think they're probably starting the court case. They must be changing the venue of her lock-up!"
Eudora nodded. However, the next second, she saw another car following the patrol car. It was not anything out of the ordinary, but from her seat, she could see a man holding a gun through the rearview mirror of that suspicious car. "Amos, isn't that Caleb in the car?"
Amos was stunned and he hurriedly called out to Eudora, "Get out of the car. I'll chase them with the driver."
"I'm not getting out of the car! Hurry up and follow them!"
Time was of the essence and Amos had no time to argue. Therefore, he hurriedly told the driver to follow after the suspicious car. At the same time, Eudora was trying to call Harley. She had a feeling that Harley had probably arranged someone to watch over Wendy but she was not sure until she saw it with her own eyes.
Unexpectedly, she could not get through to Harley's mobile phone. She tried calling him several times but to no avail.
"Red light!"
Amos said suddenly and Eudora put down her mobile phone hastily. The next second, she noticed a huge truck in front of them moving towards the patrol car.
Amos glanced at Eudora with fear and instantly ordered the driver, "Turn around."
Amos' driver had exceptional driving skills. He drove away through a gap and stopped on the grass next to the road.
Eudora immediately turned to look for the patrol car. Fortunately, the patrol car responded quickly and avoided the incoming truck in a nick of time. However, the truck had collided onto one of the doors of the patrol car. The damaged door flew open as the car came to a standstill. "Watch out for the prisoner!" someone shouted.
Several armed officers immediately got off the car and surrounded it.
The suspicious car took this opportunity to crash into the patrol car once more. There were gunshots this time.
Amos gritted his teeth and said, "Charlie!"
Soon, a black shadow rushed out of nowhere and ran over to the patrol car but it was too late. Caleb had already pulled Wendy out of the vehicle when the officers were dodging the bullets.
After that, the suspicious car sped away.
Eudora shouted in a hurry, "Follow him!"
The driver understood and immediately stepped on the accelerator.
Caleb was driving away while observing the accident from the rear-view mirror. He snorted.
They had caused a major road accident with that collision just now. Surely the patrol car would not be able to catch up to them now.
"What do you think? Am I awesome or what?" Caleb shouted.
Wendy was a little gloomy and she just nodded. She then asked, "Where are we going?"
"I've already made the necessary arrangements! We are going to the pier later. At night, we will board the ship to Fragraland and take a flight overseas from there." Caleb was in a good mood. He suddenly said, "Didn't you say that you don't like to live the dark life? I've made a lot of money so you can go wherever you want to go!"
Wendy was stunned, "How did you get that money?"
Caleb chuckled and said, "Why do you care so much? I've told you before. Women should not interfere in men's business."
