She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 804

"Her security detail is heavy. It's not just the Lonsdale family's private guards; there's also a military faction, likely Lucian's men. She's wrapped in a titanium cocoon."

One of the elites tapped the printed schedule. "Based on my reconnaissance, there are also snipers watching her perimeter. If we try a close-quarters assassination or try to set up on a nearby vantage point, we won't make it out alive the second we pull the trigger. This is their home turf. Nobody knows these streets better than their special forces."

Luna rubbed her temples, groaning in frustration. "So you analyzed all of this just to tell me it's impossible?"

Seeing her expression sour, another operative spoke up. "There is one vulnerability. The two different security factions rotate shifts, creating a one-minute gap in coverage. Coincidentally, this happens right when she gets off work. At that hour, Metropia's traffic is at a dead standstill. We can use the dense crowds and gridlock to our advantage."

Hope flickered in Luna’s eyes. The operative spread out a highly detailed map of Metropia, pointing to the traffic grid surrounding the hospital.

"At 5:40 PM, the evening rush hour peaks. Blossom Hospital sits on the border between the old and new districts. The roads are narrow. Within ten minutes, traffic will be completely paralyzed. Our target..."

He used a red marker to trace the route of Loyce's bulletproof SUV. "Her car will exit the rear gate of the hospital and attempt to merge onto the main avenue. Right here."

The marker stopped at an unavoidable intersection. "This is a bottleneck. If an accident occurs ahead, her vehicle will be boxed in. The cars around her will form a natural barrier, blocking outside lines of sight and preventing rapid reinforcements."

"What about her GPS trackers?" Channing pressed. It was his biggest fear. "She managed to smuggle video recordings of her torturing Lucian off a deserted island. She constantly wears high-tech trackers and audio bugs. No matter how brilliant this plan is, we’ll be located immediately."

"That’s exactly why we aren't taking her to a standard safe house, and we aren't staying in the city." Gyrfalcon, the squad leader, pointed to the northwestern outskirts of Metropia. "An abandoned mining site. Black Mountain Mine. The subterranean shafts go down over three hundred meters. The structural integrity is complex, and the specific iron ore deposits and rock formations naturally absorb and block all radio frequencies. It was sealed in the eighties and hasn't been touched since. The surface entrance is completely hidden."

Luna’s eyes gleamed with a terrifying intensity. The fire of her vengeance was threatening to burn the room down. "Perfect! That's where we go! In that pitch-black hole in the ground, I am going to make her pay for every ounce of humiliation she caused me, with interest!"

Channing saw the escalating madness in Luna’s eyes and felt a sickening sense of dread. "Luna, that place is too isolated. For your own safety, you should just let your men handle the torture. They can film it, and you can watch it later. If you go yourself, I'm terrified that—"
