Chapter 362
Sheena snapped back to reality and asked, “How are his two trusted aides doing?”
“Don’t worry. I secretly spiked their drinks, and it should take effect while they’re on the road.
“Good. We can also check on Elijah’s efficiency in handling things,” Sheena said as she glanced at the now-empty bottle of red wine.
The military vehicle traveled on the highway, and there was minimal traffic due to the late hour.
Ian adjusted the car’s air conditioning to a very comfortable temperature, and Nathaniel’s two trusted aides were dozing off as they had consumed alcohol. Only Nathaniel, despite having a few drinks, remained relatively clear-headed.
Ian was focused on the road when suddenly a cold gun pressed against the back of his head.
It was Nathaniel.
“Why aren’t we heading back to my place? Where are you bringing us?”
His voice was loud, and the heightened alertness of the two aides woke them up quickly. They looked out the window to realize Ian was taking them to the outskirts.
Tension filled the car.
Ian chuckled nervously and replied, “Did I take the wrong route? Sorry, Mr. Nicholls. I saw you all sleeping and didn’t want to wake you. I thought this route would be shorter.”
Nathaniel’s icy-expression remained unchanged, demanding Ian, “Turn around.”
“Huh? Of course!”
However, Ian stepped on the gas instead of slowing down, and he suddenly jerked the steering wheel, almost losing control and swerving off the road. With none of them wearing seatbelts, the abrupt move sent the passengers tumbling, crashing against the windows.
Nathaniel was no exception, and the gun against Ian’s head also moved.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Ian slammed the brakes, swiftly exited the vehicle, and made his escape.
