Chapter 578 No Need to Chase After Them
“Ma’am, we’re arriving at the hospital soon. Should we park the car nearby and walk into the premises?”
The woman replied without even raising her eyes, “Drive in.”
She had no intention to waste her time on walking. Since she had come all the way here, she had to see Elise’s dead body with her own eyes as soon as possible.
Only by personally confirming Elise’s death could she, as well as the organization, be relieved.
As soon as she said that, the traffic light turned green.
The chauffeur followed her instructions and slowly drove the car through the main entrance toward the building.
At that moment, the woman’s phone suddenly rang in her coat.
She didn’t want to receive any other news at that point, but when she saw the caller ID flashing on her screen, she considered for a moment and picked up the call.
Simultaneously, in the only unlit room at the highest floor, Alexander and Elise stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked down at the car near the entrance from their position.
The first car had arrived at the center of the yard, and as soon as the second car completely entered the yard, they could begin with the next step of the plan.
Nonetheless, right before the car behind completely entered the yard, the first MPV suddenly came to a halt.
“Tsk! D*mn it! Why did it stop?!” Moses, who was lying in ambush, quietly cursed.
If only the car had traveled another half meter, he would have pressed the trigger and trapped this bunch of men in the yard. There was only half a meter left!
The sound of the car suddenly braking made a loud noise amidst the soundless environment.
The woman, who remained seated in the car, cast a sharp glance at the surroundings as the person on the other end of the line continued to report to her.
“On the day it happened, Elise wasn’t in that hotel. Also, the data obtained earlier revealed that the blood of the dead person doesn’t match Elise’s. Therefore, the person who died isn’t Elise!”
That’s right, there’s no smoke without fire. It’s too quiet here at the hospital; it’s so quiet that it doesn’t seem natural.
The woman hung up the call and kept her phone in the pocket before she impassively instructed, “Turn around right now!”
The moment her instruction was given, the chauffeur immediately shifted the gear and stomped on the pedal to reverse the car.
The car behind was pushed back by the first car, but the driver quickly made sense of the situation and started reversing the car as well.
In the blink of an eye, the two cars had already retreated to the road outside the hospital. Then, the cars started accelerating to full speed as they drove away from the city.
Moses instantly reacted by taking out his walkie-talkie and gave an order to the convoy lying in ambush outside. “Go after them! Do not let any of them escape!”
In an instant, the hospital, which had been calm and peaceful a second ago, was suddenly filled with the sound of engines roaring. Two to three vehicles dashed out of streets and alleys from all directions and spread out to chase after and surround the two MPVs.
After some time, Alexander raised his hand and spoke through the walkie-talkie. “There’s no need to chase after them.”
Moses, who was super excited right now, refused to retreat. “Don’t you worry. I have men everywhere in this neighborhood. They are hemmed in at all sides, so they certainly can’t escape!”
Alexander didn’t reply, but when he held Elise’s hand and looked into the distance in the direction where the two cars had fled off to, he heaved a heavy sigh. “In the end, we were still discovered.”
Elise was aware that he was the most disappointed person when they failed to capture the woman.
As a matter of fact, Alexander’s plan had been incredibly meticulous, but they still lost to the other party’s overly cautious character. Those who had been at the ground level could not see it clearly, but standing where they were, they had been able to see everything clearly.
It was obvious that the chauffeur wasn’t an ordinary driver as well. They were barely a few hundred meters away, yet two cars were able to rush out of their encirclement. In the end, Moses and his men were unable to catch up with them.
“Don’t worry, we will certainly capture them next time!”
Elise embraced Alexander. Amidst the dark environment that was devoid of any source of light, it felt as though they were the only two people left in the whole world. They only had each other to rely on and be affectionate with.
“After today’s incident, they will only be extra careful. I wonder when we will have the chance to set up a trap for them again.” Alexander sounded depressed.
