Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 526

"It's not a bomb! I'm not that capable as Lucas. And I just secretly learned a little bit from him."

Joseph quickly stood in front of Zoe and threw a handful of soybeans out of his bag before landing.

At the same time, he poured the olive oil onto the floor. And it was difficult for people to stand on the soybeans. So, the bodyguards who tried to grab them fell to the ground one by one.

"Joseph, you are awesome!"

Zoe landed on the ground, unable to stand steadily. Joseph supported her from behind, and then grabbed her wrist again, taking her over easily.

"Joseph, you haven't told me yet. If that's not a bomb, what on earth is it?"

Zoe still hadn't forgotten the explosion just now, so she couldn't help but ask.

As Joseph dodged those who were ordered to catch them, he explained, "It's very simple. Fill empty bottles with inflammable liquids, like gasoline, and set up specific devices. Then you can detonate them at any time. The lethality is not great, but it can buy us time."

"I don't understand!"

Slightly depressed, Zoe frowned and thought, 'Why can't I understand what Lucas and Joseph say?

But we're of the same age, aren't we?'

Joseph turned around and smiled, "It doesn't matter. You are a girl. Just remember to stand behind us. We will protect you."

"But it makes me too useless!"

As Zoe spoke, she observed the people around her. When she saw a bodyguard struggling to get up not far away, she casually took an apple from the coffee table and threw it towards his forehead.

"Bingo!"

Zoe was so cheered that she wanted to jump. Unfortunately, she forgot that she was being held by Joseph on the ground covered with olive oil. All of a sudden, she fell to the ground.

"Ouch!"

Pulled by Zoe, Joseph also fell to the ground.

At the sight of it, a bodyguard hurriedly shouted, "Hurry! Catch them!"

Joseph felt a little depressed. He looked at the bodyguards struggling over from the side and made up his mind at once. He quickly pushed Zoe away from him.

The olive oil made the floor extremely slivery. Zoe was pushed straight to the entrance of the living room.

"Run! Go back to find Mommy! Hurry up!"

Joseph shouted at Zoe, then turned around and took out other items from his bag, throwing them at the bodyguards. There were cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbages and so on. Almost all the vegetables in the kitchen had been packed in Joseph's bag.

Zoe froze for a second, unable to react.

"Joseph!"

"Run! Leave me alone! Go find Mommy and bring her to pick me up! Didn't you say you wanna protect us? You're a female warrior now. I'm waiting for you to save me."

Joseph tried his best to stop everyone in front of him.

He was Vincent's son. Even if he was caught, he would only be beaten up. Vincent wouldn't kill his own son, would he? However, Zoe was different.

Although Joseph did not know what had happened recently, his heart did hurt when he heard Vincent in the club that day.

'Daddy actually wants to kill Lucas!

But that is his nephew!'

If Lucas couldn't be let go, Joseph didn't know if Vincent could let Zoe go. Right now, Joseph just hoped Zoe could leave this place as soon as possible.

Zoe wanted to say something, but she found the courage upon hearing Joseph.

"Alright! Joseph, wait for me to bring Mommy to save you!"

With that, she turned around and ran away. Joseph smiled in relief as he saw the receding figure covered with oil.

'As long as Zoe could leave this place and return to Mommy's side, everything will be fine.'

However, he had forgotten that Zoe was different from Lucas. She seldom had contact with the outside world. After leaving this villa, she didn't even know where to go.

Zoe ran out of the villa. Only then did she discover that she was in a villa district, which was next to the sea. A long passageway led straight to the underground, but not a single car passed by.

"Where am I? How can I contact Mommy?"

Zoe was in utter confusion.

Subconsciously, she wanted to take out her phone and call Nicole, but she couldn't find it. She then remembered that it had been taken away.

"What should I do?"

Zoe stood alone on the passageway, not even knowing where to go.

But the bodyguards behind were about to come out.

Zoe gritted her teeth and ran in one direction.

After running for a long time, her calves became aching. However, she still didn't see any cars, nor did she even see a person.

"I'm so hungry!"

Zoe touched her flat belly, recalling the steak that the woman had served not long ago. She couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"If only I could take a bite at that time."

Zoe muttered to herself. Looking left and right, she felt that the world was too big for her. She couldn't even find a way home to see her mother.

"Mommy, Lucas, where are you?"

Tears gradually welled in Zoe's eyes.

Suddenly, she heard a car passing by from behind. Her eyes lit up, but she became upset the moment she turned around.

'What if they were those bad guys?'

Zoe remembered that Joseph was still waiting for her to take Mommy over to save him. She couldn't help but look around and found a garbage can beside her. She immediately ran over there and hid behind it.

'It stinks!'

Zoe wrinkled her nose in grievance, but thinking of Joseph, she told herself to persevere.

The car drove past her and the garbage can.

Only then did Zoe heave a sigh of relief.
