After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317 Danger (6) Out of the Woods

It took Theodore a few seconds to see her point.
"You mean, you came here for evidence?"
"Yes, that's it." Hannah nodded her head. "Now you go to find Oscar and I stay here to investigate the evidence. When all is done, I'll call the police in Kensbury City for assistance immediately. What you need to do is to protect yourselves. Trust me, I'll help you out."
Theodore hesitated.
He pondered for a while. "Fine. You stay here with Jimmy, and I go to find Oscar."
"No, it's only me here."
"No way!" said Theodore.
"Listen, Theodore. They haven't noticed me right now because no one expects we would look for the evidence, and that's also why we succeed in taking Jason away. Things are easier for me now. But your task is nothing simple like this. Your task is to find out the brain behind and that is full of danger. How could it be possible for you to control Jason while driving alone? You must be assisted by someone else."
"Oscar wouldn't allow me to leave you alone." Theodore was sure of this.
"It's not leaving me alone. I have my plan. Theodore, I'm not with Oscar because I want to take any advantage, instead, what I want is to help each other when in need. Trust me, I can protect myself and help you out."
Theodore didn't respond.
Say no more, Hannah said to Jimmy. "Pull over here."
Jimmy was waiting for a sign from Theodore. But Theodore still did not give any response.
"Theodore, you don't want the one with Oscar to be a good-for-nothing woman, do you?" Hannah was asking him seriously. Hannah knew Theodore had huge respect for Oscar. Or never would he follow all of his arrangements. Accordingly, Theodore would never want a burdensome woman to be Oscar's lover. He believed, Oscar deserved a competent partner, to back him up.
Theodore agreed. "Okay, you stay here for evidence and assistance. But Hannah, remember, take good care of yourself. Your life matters most at any time."
"I see."
Jimmy pulled over and Hannah went out. Theodore turned his head and took a look at Hannah, then called Jimmy to drive away.
To him, Oscar was more important than anyone and anything. His actions would follow the instructions of Oscar first.
Hopefully, Hannah was not as weak as they thought.
After they left, Hannah went back to the hotel they stayed. They hadn't checked out yet so she could directly go into the room.
She was wondering how to find the evidence.
'Was everything in the factory burnt in ashes in the fire? Did Oscar succeed in getting the evidence? Where did he put it then?' Hannah thought a lot, hence she was sleepless.
However, due to this, she was aware of the footsteps from outside. She was startled.
Someone was coming for her. Hannah didn't hesitate, and she opened the window and climbed out. Clutching the window tightly, she kept herself hung outside of the room. It was not a big hotel and Hannah's room was on the third floor. She comforted herself that she would not die even if she fell. Her hands kept grabbing the window tightly.
All of a sudden, the door was kicked down.
Hannah held her breath. The room was full of the sound of footsteps, and it seemed that there were more than one person. They walked around in search of someone. Around 5 minutes later, a strange voice came. "They didn't check out, and no suitcase here. They might have left here."
Hannah could not hear what the man on the phone was saying. Later, she felt they had left the room, and, only silence reigned.
Gritting her teeth, she was trying to climb back to the room by her arms but failed. She was not strong enough to do so.
Was it the only choice to jump down?
She checked around. It was risky to jump from here to the ground and it was possible to get hurt and even die. Hannah felt she could not take it anymore.
All at once, the window downstairs was opened. Hannah didn't think twice, she shouted at her, "Help, help!"
A woman was probably shocked by her sudden voice but it took her some time to look out the window and find Hannah.
"How come you are there?" She was apparently scared.
"It's hard to explain in just a few words. Ma'am, would you please pull me up? My room should not be locked. I cannot hold on to it anymore."
"Girl, give me a moment." The woman called her husband immediately. "Hurry up! Let's go upstairs."
Not for a while, Hannah heard another sound from the room. Then, a couple came to the window and pulled her up together. Hannah was soaked in the horror sweat. She could have died if she was not lucky enough.
The woman was still a little shaken up. "How could you get there?"
"I had a quarrel with my husband and he wanted to beat me, so I ran out. But he found me. I was so scared that I hurried to climb out of the window." Hannah made an excuse. "Anyway, thank you for the help tonight."
"Should I call the police?" Asked the woman, looking concerned.
Hannah shook her head immediately. "No. I'm going to leave here for Kensbury City. He won't be able to find me there."
"All right." The woman didn't ask more. "It's good to know you are safe. We'll be back to our room then."
"Okay. Thank you a lot, really."
"That's nothing, you're welcome."
The couple left. Following their leave, Hannah also left instantly. She knew that she had been targeted by them. Now this put her in a terrible position and she was running out of her time.
Hannah rushed to the fireworks factory immediately. She called a taxi for it was a bit far from here.
The cab driver was shocked when he heard the destination and asked her, "Why are you heading there alone at such a late time? Don't you know there was an explosion days ago?"
"My husband was once working there. He died in the explosion, so I want to go to see the place he worked for the last time."
"The past has gone. Nothing will change." Said the driver.
"For better or worse, I have to go."
The driver shook his head and said nothing. He thought Hannah could not face the truth. Hannah did not say anything more either.
Oscar might have sneezed for many times as she kept speaking negatively about him today, Hannah supposed.
