“Hubert, we must leave this place first. In a moment, go to that window and look down. Memorize the patrol personnel and their timing. We’ll meet back here in ten minutes.”
“Okay!”
Seeing Hubert immediately turn to run, Tatiana grabbed him in a tight hug. “You’re all I have now. Remember, if there’s any danger, hide. Don’t try to be tough.”
Hubert nodded forcefully.
They split up.
Tatiana alone couldn’t possibly memorize the entire base’s rotation schedules and personnel arrangements. They didn’t have much time. Every extra minute Ann was missing, the danger increased.
Ten minutes later, mother and son regrouped.
Hubert reported methodically: “Mommy, the nine o’clock direction has the most people. It’s a three–seven rotation system, with intervals of…”
He was extremely detailed, like a live recording camera.
Mother and son compared the patrol arrangements they had noted and finally found a gap.
“Based on this… eight o’clock tonight will be the weakest point in their defense! Mommy, we’ll go at eight!”
“Even at the weakest point, there are still four guards at the main gate. We can’t beat them on our own. We need to lure them away. How do we do it?”
Tatiana fell into deep thought.
Hubert poked her arm. “Mommy, I have a way!”
She leaned her ear in. Listening to Hubert whisper a few sentences, her breath caught. “That’s too dangerous!”
“Mommy, we can’t delay any longer! We have to save Ann! Trust me!”
“No. I’ll do it instead.”
“Mommy, you’re too big, you can’t squeeze in. I can. I’m short and small, I can fit!”
She looked at Hubert’s determined gaze and finally agreed.
Night fell.
The entire base was brightly lit.
Tatiana stayed by Trina’s side, continuing to play the role of a qualified doctor.
Trina, however, seemed to notice something was off. She said in a low voice, “Don’t do anything stupid
She said nothing.

“You saved me and my son. I owe you one. I’ll do my best to protect you, as long as you don’t do anything foolish.”
But she changed the subject. “During your confinement be careful not to get exposed to the wind. Wear your hat.”
Trina understood she couldn’t persuade her and said no more.
Time ticked by.
Tatiana watched the increasingly rowdy crowd, her heart suddenly rising into her throat.
Ten minutes left.
It was almost the time she had agreed on with Hubert.
She slowly edged toward the
Xit, preparing to leave when no one was paying attention.
Suddenly, a drunkard next to Ashton noticed her, pointed a large hand. “You! Yes, you! Come over here and let me see!”
Instantly, many eyes turned to look.
She, who had been ignored, became the center of attention.
Her face paled.
“Come here!”
Ashton put down his glass, raising an eyebrow. “What? You’ve taken a liking to her?”
“Bring her over so I can have a look.”
A thug immediately went over and forcibly dragged Tatiana away from the exit.
“Lift your head.”
Tatiana could only obey, lifting her filthy face.
Since being brought here, she had never washed her face. The mud on it was thick enough to be scraped off.
But her bright, beautiful eyes couldn’t be hidden.
Only then did Ashton notice this woman’s eyes were very beautiful. He grew interested. “Bring water.”
Tatiana trembled, her body tensing. She wanted to refuse, but the thug held her shoulders down forcefully.
Splash.
A basin of water was dumped over her head.
Tatiana was soaked. The caked mud on her face was washed clean, and her wet clothes clung to her, outlining her faint curves.
She was drenched and lowered her head, looking utterly wretched.

“Lift your head.”
Ashton had sat up straight, his previously indifferent expression becoming intrigued.
His companion beside him had long since impatiently stepped forward, yanking her face up.
