The Woman From Hell

Ernest chose to let go, but Ronny continued to raise his pistol. The two black-clad men behind me escorted me out of the room.

In less than two steps, the alarm in the room went off, followed by panicked footsteps outside.

Ernest deliberately pretended to be shocked and raised his hands. "Oh no, what a coincidence this is. The vials in the lab must have gone missing, so someone triggered the alarm."

I did not believe a word he said.

"It's unfortunate that the laboratory's broadcasting system was recently broken.

I can't tell my subordinates to let you out. You may be mistaken for stealing the vials later, so do be careful on your way."

A mischievous smile broke out on Ernest's face.

It was not hard to figure out that he was behind this. How could he possibly let us go so easily?

Ronny had no time to teach him a lesson and merely glared at him before quickly pulling me out the door.
