A day later, Ruby went to the airport carrying a suitcase and took the earliest flight. When she went back to her motherland, it was already at night.
So she checked in the Hilton and waited for the arrangement of the Harolds in the suite.
The jag lag made her feel so fatigued, and then she slowly fell asleep on the bed. Before she lost consciousness, she heard some faint sounds of footsteps coming from somewhere in the room.
And then…
Hearing a snap all of a sudden, she opened her eyes quickly and became alert, reaching for something under her pillow…
The next second, someone raised the quilt and got on the bed, and Ruby pushed him with her hand instinctively.
However, her arm was grabbed by a cold hand and got pressed on her neck.
“Don’t move, or I will kill you immediately,” the man said coldly.
Ruby was frightened. Her body was rigid with fear, but she could smell something she was familiar with in these years. It was blood.
This guy was wounded.
“You…”
“I need to hide,” the man commanded.
Hide here? Ruby frowned. This was a suite, not a sanctuary!
She grabbed the pen under the pillow and stabbed him in his neck under the moonlight.
But before she could make it, somebody was knocking at the door hurriedly, “I’m FBI officer, open the door!”
