Chapter 676

Tiffany couldn’t help but chuckle. Her smile was radiant and captivating.

She asked, “Where did you learn to be so smooth–talking?”

“I’m telling the truth,” Richard replied. He tightened his arm around her waist and grinned.

It was clear he was in an excellent mood.

Tiffany blinked, her gaze shifting from his handsome face to the scenery below.

The wind howled past them, as the view beneath revealed sprawling mountains and rivers. In the distance, a city glittered with neon lights.

Luckily, the night had no moon or stars, and the darkness concealed the two shadows streaking across the sky.

Jeffrey was still at large, wanted for escape.

During a prisoner transport, an accident left the officers unconscious from the impact. Jeffrey only sustained only minor injuries. He seized the chance to flee.

To flush him out, Tiffany had arranged for thorough investigations. She wasn’t surprised to learn that Jeffrey had been spotted near the Ruiz family estate today.

However, she did not expect it was Molly who made the call to report Jeffrey.

Though Jeffrey ultimately escaped again, at least one member of the Ruiz family, despicable as they were, had managed to hold onto a shred of decency.

Ten minutes later, the pair landed smoothly.

Tiffany glanced around, noting the dense forest around them.

Ahead, a cluster of houses in the valley below glowed with the light of a dozen lamps.

The forest was secluded and remote. Such a place was the perfect hideout for a fugitive like Jeffrey.

Tiffany asked, “Should we check out the village?”

Richard replied, “Let’s go.”

Richard clasped Tiffany’s hand and led the way, but after taking only a couple of steps, he suddenly caught the faintest sound of a distant cry for help carried on the wind.

“Help… someone, help…”
