Chapter 1183 Tracking

After a short while, the convoy arrived at the riverside. They walked along the embankment and first came across a vast grassland, followed by a sandy beach. Jacob got out of his car with his men to inspect the area before opening Lucia's door.

"We're here, get out," he said.

As soon as she stepped out of the car, Lucia was hit by a refreshing breeze mixed with the scent of grass and faint fishy smell from the river. She could hear frogs croaking and crickets chirping in her ears. If she wasn't trapped in this situation, she would have enjoyed this peaceful night.

Lucia looked towards the riverbank where there was a sand dredger parked with bright lights shining on it. There was also a small sand hill piled up on its deck, and several men were waving at Jacob from its front.

Lucia half-closed her eyes. Jacob was really deliberate, letting the sand dredger wait in such a remote location. If Arthur hadn't tracked her location, even if it was estimated that Jacob might escape by water, he would give priority to inspecting the docks along the coast.

Seeing Lucia staring at the dredger, Jacob walked over and grabbed her arm, ignoring her struggle and laughed,

"Lucia, I'm going to wrong you later. I know Arthur is smart, so I found a sand dredger privately. Even if he chased here, he wouldn't expect us to be on this kind of boat."

Lucia glared at Jacob but turned away without saying anything.

Jacob then ordered one of his men to cover Lucia's bound hands with their coat before paying off their driver and telling him leave immediately. He then ordered everyone else down along the embankment path which was difficult due it being remote. There were no roads built here except for muddy steps carved by local fishermen themselves onto landslides beside riverside cliffs.

Several times, Lucia almost fell, but she never said a word, and even if she fell, she would never ask Jacob for help.

Jacob was annoyed by Lucia's stubbornness, but he didn't want to hurt her either. In the end, he had no choice but to have a strong bodyguard lift her and carry her face down. With her stomach pressed against the guard's shoulder, Lucia felt suffocated and nauseous. Her mood was already bad, and now she was even more irritated.

"Jacob! Are you really that useless? Do you need your bodyguard to do this?"

Upon hearing Lucia's words, Jacob immediately stopped in his tracks and turned to glare at her. He wasn't avoiding a confrontation, but he was also having a difficult time moving. If he were to fall for Lucia's provocation, both of them might end up falling down.

"Put me down!" Lucia shouted, trying to suppress her nausea. "My stomach feels terrible!"

The bodyguard looked at Jacob with hesitation.

Jacob frowned and could only let the bodyguard put Lucia down. He personally supported her step by step towards the bottom.

Even this kind of contact made Lucia disgusted. When they were close to the beach, there were still a few muddy steps left. She moved her shoulder and bumped into Jacob, causing him to kneel forward almost falling on his face. He was holding onto Lucia's arm but luckily the bodyguard quickly grabbed her before she fell too, so only he embarrassed himself.

"You!" Jacob turned his head and glared at Lucia, so angry that he didn't know what to say.

Lucia looked at Jacob's disheveled appearance with an uncontrollable smile in her eyes shining like stars which momentarily stunned him.

When she noticed that he was staring at herself, Lucia easily withdrew her smile and covered it up with a hint of gloominess,
