You Are The Pursuit of My Life
Chapter 109
Chapter 109
The robbers took Irene to a house. After locking the doors, they began planning on how to demand the ransom. One of the kidnappers decided to make a call to the White family. Britney was rather straightforward; she told them that someone was preparing the ransom, so they would need to wait for a while. The kidnappers did not believe her and warned her not to try to rescue the hostage through the police. They threatened Britney, saying that if she even tried anything funny, they would kill Irene right there and then. Britney promised not to call the police. The eyes of Joanne who had been by the side listening lit up at once.
After hanging up, several kidnappers sat together and began a discussion. One of them brought up the fact that the White family was pretty well known. Wasn't 100 million in cash too little? The leader of the gang felt a little regretful for not asking for more. It was common for kidnappers to go back on their word. Irene's heart sank when she heard their discussion. At that point, Irene was no longer as afraid as before. She carefully observed the situation. She was brought into the room by the kidnappers with her eyes blindfolded, hence she did not know where they had taken her.
Now that they were indoors, the black cloth on her eyes had been removed. She could see clearly that the place she was in was an apartment. After they pushed her into the room, they gathered in the living room to talk.
There was a window in the room where Irene was locked up. There were iron grills on the windows, thus there was no way to escape at all. Typically, bathroom windows would not have iron grills. Therefore, Irene asked the kidnappers if she could use the bathroom. The kidnappers did not refuse her request.
When Irene entered the bathroom, it was as she suspected - the windows did not have any grills on them. She stood on the toilet and looked out. She counted and realized she was on the third floor. If she jumped down now, she would be injured for sure. However, there was a condenser unit right outside the bathroom window; below that was a canopy coming out of the second floor. If she climbed out of the window to step on the condenser unit and jumped down to the canopy, it would be much safer. However, it was also very dangerous to do so.
A single slip would cause her to fall and injure herself. However, she did not have the time to think too much then. If the White family did not agree to the conditions of the kidnappers, the kidnappers might harm her. She had to take the risk. Irene returned to the room quietly and continued to wait. Another two hours passed in a flash. The kidnappers called the White family again. The White family said that they had prepared the money and agreed on a location to meet for the transaction. The kidnappers sent two people to get the ransom, but they didn't plan on taking Irene with them. Irene knew that the kidnappers were going to go back on their word. Soon after two of the kidnappers had headed out, Irene asked to go to the bathroom again. The kidnappers were in good spirits, so they allowed it.
Irene entered the bathroom and locked the door. Immediately, she put her plan into action. She thought that it would be relatively easy, but she was wrong. It took her a lot of effort just to climb out of the window and stand onto the condenser. Looking down, she felt dizzy, hence she subconsciously squatted down.
She had been 'in the bathroom' for quite some time at this point. One of the kidnappers knocked on the door, impatient. Flustered by it, Irene closed her eyes as she jumped onto the canopy. She landed right on it but unfortunately, the canopy was quite old. It could not withstand her weight so it broke and Irene fell right through it.
Luckily, there was a base at the bottom. She landed with most of the weight hitting her ankles. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she felt a pang of pain shoot up her ankles. But Irene had no time to care. She ran away, struggling. Meanwhile, the kidnappers upstairs forcefully kicked the bathroom door down.
To the kidnappers' surprise, the bathroom was empty. "Boss, she has escaped!" The leader immediately panicked when he heard that. "Why are you guys still standing there? Hurry up and get her!"
The kidnappers cursed and ran downstairs. Irene's feet hurt so much. She knew that at her current speed, she wasn't going to be able to outrun the kidnappers. Sometimes, the most dangerous place was the safest place, hence they would least expect her to be there. With that in mind, she turned around and, instead of running away, she hid downstairs inside the bushes.
The kidnappers only stopped at where Irene had been hiding for a while. After all, they weren't familiar with the area. When they reached downstairs, they headed outwards. After some distance, they received a call from the two kidnappers who had gone to take the ransom.
"Boss, we have been tricked. There is no ransom at all. They chose to call the police. We have been surrounded. Hurry up and escape!"
