As the three killers slowly approached them, Shawn suddenly turned his head to look at Sharon and asked, "Sharon, do you believe me?"
Confused, Sharon looked at him and wondered what did he mean.
Then, Shawn smiled at her and reassured her, "Don't worry. I won't let you die."
While the killers were getting closer, Sharon's heart was pounding. Even she herself did not notice that her voice was trembling when she asked, "You... what are you trying to do?"
"Jump down!"
"Wait... what?"
Suddenly, Sharon felt her waist tightened as Shawn wrapped his arms around her body and jumped down the cliff without hesitation.
At that instant, Sharon was so terrified that her scream burst out, "Ah..."
When the killers realized what happened, their expressions changed, and they immediately took a few big strides forward and fired at the bottom of the cliff where they could not see clearly. In that silent night, Sharon's scream and the sound of the gunfires pierced through the clouds and directly entered the ears of Stanley.
It made Stanley's heart skipped a beat, and he stood where he was as he raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. Even Anthony, who followed behind him, didn't even dare to breathe heavily.
The moment Stanley made a judgment from which direction the subtle sound came from, he immediately ran toward it.
Closely, Anthony followed him as he was also nervous and anxious. The voice they heard just now was obviously Sharon's scream, and he did not dare not to guess what Sharon had encountered.
Not to mention how terrible Stanley's expression was.
Half an hour later, Anthony and the others found a cliff where footprints and bullets were left behind. Everything proved Sharon was definitely here...
But where are they?
No one was there.
There was a cliff behind them, and if she appeared here, there would be no way for her to go, so she either would've been taken away by someone else, or she jumped off this cliff.
No matter who it was, it would be detrimental to her.
Meanwhile, Anthony stood rooted to the ground, unable to utter a single word. His hands were trembling uncontrollably, and his back was even covered with cold sweat.
When Anthony looked at Stanley, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, he saw that Stanley was standing there quietly, without saying a word. On his face... was an unspeakable expression, and he was so silent as if time had stopped.
The wind was so strong that it made his clothes bulged as if he could be gone with the wind in the next second.
Suddenly, Stanley, who had been standing still, reacted and went straight to the cliff. Meanwhile, Anthony's eyes were fixated on him, and he didn't even dare to look away because he was afraid that Stanley would do something horrible in the blink of an eye.
Gradually, the expression on Anthony's face could no longer remain as calm as before when he noticed that Stanley kept walking, and he did not seem to have any intention of stopping.
"Boss!"
In shock, Anthony cried out while he threw himself at Stanley and held him tightly in his arms. "Boss, what are you doing?"
"Let me go!"
The sound of Stanley's voice was so hoarse that it was painful to hear, and Anthony could even feel the faint trembling of his muscles.
How could Anthony dare to let go of him? In fact, he was afraid that if he let go, Stanley would do something unexpected, so there was no way he would let go. "Boss, Madam won't fall down this cliff. Don't do that. We will look for her. Maybe we will find her somewhere else. Boss, don't do anything stupid!"
However, Stanley flung Anthony's arms off and knocked him away. Then, Anthony fell to the ground and widened his eyes as he watched Stanley lowered his body, squatted down on the ground, and picked up something.
He didn't jump!
Anthony heaved a sigh of relief.
