As the car traveled at breakneck speed, Winnie felt excruciating pain from her injured organs.

She gave Harold an indifferent look. “Where are you heading?”

Ignoring her, Harold popped his head out of the car window to look at the helicopter above their heads. Finally, he turned around and smiled. “I’m taking you away. Do you feel excited already?”

Winnie sneered. “You’ve stolen the goods from under the terrorists’ noses. You must have found a buyer, right? Who is he? Where are you making the exchange?”

“Why are you brazenly asking me about these secret details?”

“What else should I do? It’s not like we have anything in common to talk about.”

“Why not?” Harold ran his fingers across Winnie’s cheek. “As a grown man and woman, aren’t there plenty of things for us to explore?”

“You’re disgusting!” Winnie turned her face away. When her gaze finally returned to Harold, her eyes were brimming with contempt.

While irritated by the way Winnie was looking at him, he could see in her eyes a reflection of his ugly self—one that even he was reluctant to look straight in the eyes.

As rage began to overwhelm him, he felt the urge to dig out Winnie’s beautiful eyes.

Nonetheless, he kept his impulses in check. Picking up a bag and emptying the bullets inside, he subsequently draped it over Winnie’s head.

She could no longer see where they were going as the car sped down the road.

Despite that, the helicopter hovering above their heads was still well within earshot.

Subsequently, their car came to an abrupt stop after seemingly hitting something. By the time Harold removed the bag over her head, Winnie realized that it was already dawn.

She scanned the surroundings and was stunned by what she saw—a school.

As the village school had worn-out facilities, its gate swung open upon being crashed into.
