Mango looked around, and other than the waiters, there weren't many guests. Then, she chose a seat near the window and sat down.
It didn't take long for Desmond to arrive, and when he saw Mango, he was more or less surprised.
"Didn't you leave?"
"I'm worried about you."
Mango didn't say anything else.
They ordered a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain and cappuccino and drank slowly.
No one spoke, but for some reason, it was peaceful.
Time passed by, but Haniya was nowhere to be seen. Instead, a waiter came over to refill their cups. When they left, Mango noticed a note at the bottom of the cup.
'Leave now!'
There were only two words on the paper, but both Desmond's and Mango's expressions changed.
This was Haniya's handwriting!
So was Haniya really still alive?
But wasn't it Haniya who asked Desmond to come today?
Why did she send a note to warn them when they came?
Mango was puzzled, but deep down in her heart, she believed that Haniya would not harm Desmond.
Thinking of this, Mango took Desmond's hand and got up to leave.
Desmond was a little stunned.
It wasn't Mango's first time taking the initiative to hold his hand, and every time it was in a critical moment. Could it be...
Desmond's eyes narrowed suddenly as he looked around and sensed danger.
Just at this moment, the door of the coffee shop closed abruptly.
Mango's heart skipped a beat and knew something bad was about to happen.
Without another word, she took out a pistol from inside her clothes and shot it at the glass door.
"Let's go!"
Mango pushed Desmond outside quickly.
She could tell that the person was coming for Desmond.
At this moment, Mango quickly pressed on the bracelet on her wrist, which was a communication device.
Merle and the others received the news and cooperated with Mango from the outside as the glass doors cracked.
Desmond had wanted to say something, but he was pushed out by Mango.
At the same time, a lot of people appeared in the back kitchen of the cafe, each holding a weapon. When they came out, they shot at Mango and Desmond immediately.
Mango rolled over as Merle, Henry, and the others outside exchanged fire with the people inside.
When Mango was leaving, she looked back and saw a person who looked like Haniya flashed by.
Her heart skipped a beat.
What was going on?
Was it Haniya?
If so, why did she warn them to leave?
But if she had warned them, why did she attack them?
Was she being threatened?
In a split second, Mango had a lot of thoughts.
Desmond relaxed a little when he saw Mango walk out.
"Are you alright?" "I'm fine. Let's go!"
Mango didn't want to be entangled here, so she pushed Desmond into the car.
Suddenly, a streak of red flashed across Mango's eyes as she pulled Desmond down subconsciously, but she was unable to dodge it.
A bullet flew into Mango's right shoulder with a 'poof.
The intense pain caused Mango to turn around subconsciously and raise her gun. However, the familiar face of the person stunned her.
It was her?!
