Chapter 210 His Car Was Tampered With
Lucia was a little annoyed. After climbing several steps in a row, she felt tired. So she rested against the wall for a while.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from the stairwell above. She could hear it clearly because it was quiet around. She had thought that someone was going to come down, but the footsteps were just lingering on that floor.
She took a deep breath and was about to continue walking upstairs when a voice suddenly came from the upper floor.
It was an extremely low male voice, "It’s all done.'
After a few seconds of pause, he continued, as if he was talking on the phone, 'He will go to the Eastern District for a meeting in the afternoon, and he will go out."
'Don't worry, as long as he drives the car, he will be disabled at least.’

Hearing these words, Lucia suddenly felt a chill down her spine. She took a deep breath, and there was an inexplicable fear in her heart.
The person who appeared here must be an employee of the company. But hearing his conversation, she could tell that it didn't seem an upright thing. When she thought of the murders she had seen in the TV series, she felt even more frightened.
Lucia leaned against the wall and didn't dare to move for fear that the sound she made would startle the man above.
After a while, the man above seemed to have hung up the phone. After a pause, he walked out. Listening to the sound of his footsteps slowly disappear, Lucia was finally able to take a deep breath.
She cautiously went up to the upper floor and looked at the empty stairwell with lingering fears.
She didn't know who the man was just now. nor whom he wanted to murder. Although she had overheard a few words, she seemed to be unable to do anything...
Lucia sighed and told herself to mind her own business in her heart. She immediately started walking and continued upstairs.
Back at the Administration Department, the words she had overheard just now flashed frequently in her mind, and she couldn’t help but get distracted.
’Ms. Mitchell.’ Gail from the next office suddenly came over and said. "Didn't you go out to lunch with Emma? Why didn't she come back with you?"
When Lucia heard this, she realized that she forgot to tell her, and hurriedly told her that Emma had gone back to buy her lunch.
‘Well, then HI wait." Gail smiled, glanced over her back, and suddenly paused, “Ms.
Mitchell, your clothes..."
After being reminded, Lucia remembered the stains on her back, and hurriedly smiled awkwardly and said, T accidentally stained it. I'll go to the bathroom to clean it up.’
When Lucia got to the bathroom, she took off her shirt and wiped it with a wet paper towel. But after wiping it back and forth several times, the red juice color couldn’t be removed.
She sighed and had to put her shirt back on. Just as she was about to wash her hands and leave, two female colleagues walked in while chatting.
This time the plan has been changed twice, but it’s still not okay. If the supervisor asks me to send it to the President’s Office later, I wonder if Mr. Adams will refuse it the third time...’
’You can change it and send it later. Anyway, Mr. Adams won’t be at the company in the afternoon...’
'Not al the company? Really?'
Tt seems that he's going to attend a corporate meeting in the Eastern District. It’s a very important meeting. Just now I saw him and Burton get on the elevator together...’
The two of them walked into the cubicles in the bathroom one after another. Lucia washed her hands and she didn’t care much at first. But when she pushed the door open and walked out of the bathroom, a voice suddenly flashed in her mind.
'He will go to the Eastern District for a meeting in the afternoon, and he will go out.’
’As long as he drives the car, he will be disabled at least..."
She had heard the man talking about someone going to the Eastern District for a meeting on the stairs just now!
Was it.,. Lucia didn't dare to think more, and she got goosebumps all over. She stood there, and her legs were shaking.
If someone wanted to murder August and tampered with his car, she couldn't imagine what would happen!
After a brief period of shock and fear, Lucia instantly came to her sense. Without
Regardless of whether her guess was true or not. even if there was a misunderstanding at this time, she would immediately remind him!
No one answered. Lucia’s nerves became tenser and tenser. Why didn't he answer the phone?!
Lucia became more and more anxious. She kept calling him, and immediately stepped out of the bathroom and ran towards the elevator.
She had heard from the female colleague just now that August and Burton just got on the elevator and went down. She was going to chase now. Maybe she could catch up with them!
After making two or three calls in a row, she found no one answered. Lucia was in a state of anxiety, but there was no signal in the elevator. So she could only watch anxiously as the numbers on the elevator dropped little by little.
During the day, August’s car was generally parked in the underground garage. At this time, they might have already arrived at the garage.
When the elevator reached the ground floor, Lucia stepped out directly. As she walked, she tried to call Burton, but the signal was so weak that she couldn't make a call at all.
Lucia stared at the huge garage, feeling so anxious. This place was so big. Where should she go to find them?
'August!' Lucia tried to shout a few times, but there was no response. She walked forward in a panic, but she didn't see any figures or moving cars at all.
Suddenly, Lucia came up with an idea. At this time, she should go to the exit in the northeast corner, which was the only way for vehicles to go out!
•
She couldn’t care so much. She ran towards that side quickly. But she just took two steps when suddenly she slipped and fell to the ground hard.
There was a sharp pain in her knees and elbows. Lucia gasped in pain. She climbed up with difficulty, ignoring the bruises on her legs, and continued to run forward.
