Randy drove to a nearby, unfinished building.

“Damn it! I can’t believe Aaron keeps her in this shitty place.”

Randy looked around. It was pitch dark, and the only sound was his voice echoing.

Aaron was dragged out of the car by Marion, barely standing up.

Randy kicked him. “Speak! Where is she?”

“They hid her. We planned to teach that… Ms. Frazier a lesson. We thought, after getting the money, we’d blow up this building. Not only would we get rid of Juan, but we’d also get a lot of money. It was supposed to be a chance for me to ask for credit. I didn’t expect Ms. Frazier and Mr. Houston to know each other,” Aaron confessed.

“Blow it up? Did you say you wanted to blow this up?” Randy’s eyes widened. “A time bomb?”

Aaron nodded fearfully.

Marion’s eyes glinted with coldness, and Aaron swallowed hard.

“Randy, tie him up. If the bomb detonates, I want him to die first.”

Despite his plea for mercy, Randy tied him up.

This unfinished building was complicated. Marion knew that Debra was safe. The most important thing: now was to dismantle the bombs.

Just then, a black Bentley drove in.

Marion recognized it as Juan’s car.

“Mr. Nichols, where are we? I’m scared.”

Shelia grabbed onto Juan’s sleeve, trembling with fear

Juan patted Shelia’s hand. “Stay in the car. Don’t get out.”

Shelia nodded.

Randy saw Juan get out of the car and sneered, “Your wife’s been kidnapped, and you’re still flirting with your mistress?”

“Who kidnapped Debra?” Juan glanced at Marion. “If I remember correctly, Aaron works for you.”

“He acted on his own,” Marion responded.

Randy, anxious as if on hot coals, said, “You two still chatting? Aren’t we going to dismantle the bombs?

“What bombs?” Juan tensed up.

“This building is rigged with bombs, Randy and I will look for the bombs. You’ll go look for Debra. Leave as soon as you find her.”

Aaron, tied up on the ground, trembled. “It’s useless. I told them to cover the tracks. Every building has three bombs installed, and they’ll detonate in fifteen minutes.”

“What did you say? Why are you saying this now?” Randy grabbed Aaron’s collar, itching to kill him.

Aaron, who had already been beaten up twice, didn’t dare to lift his head.

“There is no time to dismantle the bombs. Go find Debra.”

Marion rushed into the unfinished building, with Randy following closely behind.

“Take Shelia away and wait for my message!” Juan told the driver.

“Yes, sir!”

The driver drove the car away from the unfinished building.
