Three days later.
The people of Collin searched around carefully, but they found nothing except the bullet shell.
There was no news about Stanford.
The clue was cut off again.
It even made them wonder if the bullet shell was a trick thrown out and deliberately made them find the wrong direction to delay time.
The longer the time passed, the more frightened Phoebe became.
It had been five days since Stanford lost contact with them.
In five days, too many desperate things could happen.
He had not contacted them yet, which meant that Stanford was still in danger, and he might not be able to hold on for five days.
If he fell into the hands of those people...
Phoebe didn't dare to imagine what would happen to Stanford.
On this day, Phoebe and the others returned to the tent to rest temporarily. When Phoebe was alone in the tent, his cell phone suddenly rang.
It was the strange number again.
The content was: Do you want to save Stanford? Come out and meet me alone.
Phoebe looked at the text message on his mobile phone in a daze. She suddenly felt cold and panicked.
She had been staying with Collin all the time. She had just stayed alone for a while, and this person had found her.
He seemed to be very familiar with their situation!
When Phoebe was thinking of this, her hair stood on end, as if there were many eyes watching her around.
It was surrounded by danger.
She held her phone tightly and replied,
"You want me to come to see you alone and take me away? I'm not stupid!"
She received another text message, "Don't worry. I won't catch you in that way. I will make you willing to fall into my hands. What I want to destroy is your faith."
They couldn't find a way. It's been five days. Stanford couldn't hold on any longer." Phoebe, it's all up to me whether to save him or not."
Looking at the text message, Phoebe pursed her lips tightly, and her eyes kept flashing.
She sat stiffly for a long time and suddenly stood up.
Then she quickly walked out of the tent.
Seeing her walking out, the bodyguard asked,
"Miss Jenkins, where are you going?"
Her eyes flashed and she said, "My squatting toilet is broken. I'll go outside. It's okay. I'm nearby. I'll be back soon."
"But you're not safe alone..."
"You've cleaned up this area, and no one dares to approach it. Don't worry, I won't go far. I'll come back soon when I've finished."
The bodyguard hesitated and had to nod.
After all, they had indeed controlled the surroundings, and nothing would happen nearby.
But he didn't expect that Phoebe was not near, but was going to be trapped alone and run far away.
There were forests all around. After Phoebe walked in, she could not be seen.
She walked along the lush forest to the top of the mountain.
It was a high place, and behind it was a slightly steep slope with strange stones and trees.
Phoebe stood next to a tree and looked warily in the direction of the mountain.
After a while, a figure slowly walked over.
She was dressed in black and had a fierce aura. She was the maid from the Fraser family that day.
When she saw Phoebe, she sneered scornfully.
"Don't be nervous. I won't hurt you. I'm lonely here."
One person?
Phoebe looked at the dark forest behind her and said nothing.
"Do you know where Stanford is? I want to see the evidence."
Phoebe went straight to the point.
"I will let him live."
She moved closer to Phoebe. "If you don't agree, today will be his last day."
She had planned it for a long time. In the end, she didn't even have time to think before forcing her to submit.
There were only two paths ahead. One was her death, and the other was the death of Stanford.
Should she sacrifice herself or escape?
She was forcing Phoebe to make such a decision.
If she sacrificed herself, Phoebe would die. If she abandoned Stanford to escape, she would live in guilt for the rest of her life and lose the qualification to love him.
"I don't the other choices, do I?"
Phoebe looked at the woman in front of her with red eyes. She looked haggard, as if she would lose the last support in the next second.
The woman could tell that Phoebe had compromised.
"Tell me, what's your choice?"
She wanted to hear it from Phoebe herself.
Whether it was her great love or her selfish escape.
She wanted to hear it herself.
Phoebe's eyes flickered and she slowly said, "My choice is..."
The woman was extremely nervous and couldn't help getting closer.
Phoebe hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Yes, the third one."
As he spoke, Phoebe, who was about to fall, suddenly burst out. She stabbed the woman with a black electric baton, and a strong current suddenly poured out.
The woman fell to the ground in an instant.
Without hesitation, Phoebe snatched the phone from the woman's hand and turned to jump down the slope behind her.
The slope was shaking, and she almost couldn't stand steadily. She slid for a while with a few steps. If the trees were lush, she could roll and fall directly.
At the same time, more than a dozen bodyguards rushed out of the forest and ran quickly to the edge of the cliff.
