Chapter 640
Tanner quickly tried to think of something in a panic as he quietly walked to the iron gates.
He heard the voices of Madeline and Jeremy talking inside. Jeremy already knew that he was the one who kidnapped Madeline.
“MD, I really know that I did it!” Tanner quenched his dissatisfaction.
He glanced at the barrels of gasoline at the gates, gritted his teeth, and shook his head.
Jeremy found the tool to unlock the door and was about to act when Madeline suddenly caught a strange smell with her keen senses. “It smells of gasoline.”
Jeremy turned around. “Gasoline?”
“It’s getting more and more intense.” Madeline nodded and suddenly saw a red glow in the surroundings. “Someone has set a fire.”
The moment Madeline’s voice fell, the tongue of the flames followed the path of the gasoline, and in an instant, it spread around the entire abandoned factory!
They did not expect to encounter such a situation again.
Jeremy calmly picked up the tool and slammed the door lock. “Linnie, don’t be afraid. I’ll definitely rescue you from here.”
He promised, smashing the door lock harder.
Madeline looked at the look of worry tinting the corners of his eyebrows and was dazed for a bit. It took a while for her to return to her senses. “Jeremy, you can leave me.”
“What stupid thing are you talking about? How could I leave you?!” Jeremy’s tone was aggravated. After he said this, he realized that he had lost control of himself a little. He then quickly said softly, “Linnie, I can’t close my eyes and watch you get hurt again. If something were to happen to one of us, let it be me.”
His tone was determined, and there was no pretense of affection.
However, the fire was spreading quickly and the suffocating smoke rolled over. Madeline’s throat began feeling uncomfortable.
She coughed twice, and Jeremy noticed Madeline’s discomfort. He clenched his fists and slammed the chisel against the door lock.
