Chapter 378 What You Need Isn’t Doctor but Woman
Chloe paused for a moment and hurriedly reassured him, “He won’t. Even if he does, we were only defending ourselves.”
During this time, the masked woman occasionally glanced inside the car but detected no signs of suspicion as the man remained pinned against Chloe. After ten minutes had passed, the repairs were done. When the masked woman tried to get in, she realized that the car door would not open.
Noah, who had freed himself, waved goodbye to her with a smile. The masked woman’s eyes widened, and she punched the window.
It instantly cracked. Before it shattered, Chloe pushed the semi–conscious man off her with all her strength and urged, “Quick, start the car!”
Noah immediately leaped into the driver’s seat, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away. Through the rearview mirror, they saw the furious masked woman hijack a passing car and chase after them recklessly.
Chloe noticed that they were approaching the mountains up ahead.
“Was your phone confiscated too?” she asked.
“Yes. Check if that man has a phone on him,” Noah replied while driving.
Chloe turned her head to search for one. “Yes, got it! I’ll call the police right now!”
She tried to remain calm and provided the police with the information she knew. When she mentioned Noah’s presence, there was a brief pause from the other end of the line. “Noah? You’re talking about Mr. Noah Gunter from Exotic Star?”
“Yes,” Chloe confirmed.
The police categorized the kidnapping case as extortion. They managed to trace their location and discovered that Chloe and Noah were about to reach the outskirts of Cloude, indicating that they had been unconscious for at least four hours. Given their current speed, it would take the local police at least an hour to get there. During this hour, Chloe and Noah would enter the mountains where the cars could traverse, leaving them in a dire situation.
In this critical moment, the police remembered that the Whitmans owned a private plane.
Just as the police expected, Noah and Chloe found their path obscured by a patch of lush forest after roughly half an hour. They were forced to abandon the car and flee into the woods. Fortunately, darkness had descended, so it would not be that easy for the masked woman to track them.
The masked woman’s face turned grim, and she commanded, “After them!”
The thorny bushes in the mountains scratched Chloe’s legs, eliciting a pang of pain in Noah’s eyes. He quickened his pace, walking ahead and using his hands to push aside the branches on
both sides.
Despite their attempts to remain composed, they were just ordinary individuals without any wilderness survival skills. Compared to the cunning masked woman, they quickly lost
distance, with the pursuer closing in on them.
At that moment, a thunderous rumble echoed from afar, growing louder as a helicopter hovered in the sky and slowly descended.
The masked woman’s expression changed. “Damn it!”
“What do we do now?”
“What do we do now? We need to run!” the masked woman replied.
She glanced at Chloe and warned her, “Don’t let me catch you again.”
Chloe remained silent, keeping her guard up.
As the helicopter landed, the masked woman and her accomplices had already made their escape, vanishing into thin air.
