A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 148

Sage didn't dare to sign anything recklessly. So as she took the paper to make the two men lower their guard, she reached into her pocket to grab her phone to call the police.

But just as her fingers touched her phone, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and forcefully pulled her back.

"Ah!" Sage screamed in fright, swinging her fists and kicking with her legs blindly in an attempt to fight back

"Hey! It's me!" When Sage heard Ian's voice, she stopped struggling.

She looked up and saw Ian's face. However, because of how dim the streetlamps were, Sage couldn't make out his expression clearly.

"How did you get here? Where are they?" Sage asked, her heart still racing.

Ian's voice was grave. "They ran away. Why did you come to such a sketchy place for your walk?"

Having calmed down, Sage felt her legs go weak. She sat down on a nearby rock. "I just happened to be passing by! Who knew I would encounter them? Call the police, quickly!"

Sage took out her phone, but Ian said coldly, "No need. The police won't find any evidence here. I'll send someone to investigate and handle it."

"I have evidence!" Sage raised the piece of paper, but to her surprise, her hand was empty.

Ian saw through her thoughts and explained kindly, "They were obviously experienced. As soon as they sensed something was wrong, they grabbed the paper and ran. They wouldn't leave any evidence for you to use against them."

Earlier, Sage had been so focused on figuring out how to call the police that she hadn't noticed the paper being snatched away, nor had she noticed Ian approaching.

"Let's go home," Ian urged.
