The driver saw Jeffrey’s stubborn gaze in the rearview mirror and knew that he couldn’t persuade him, so he compromised. “For your safety, I think we should have two more people by your side.”
But Jeffrey still refused.
In order to protect his safety, the Shwell family had sent several bodyguards to protect him since he was young.
They were all very capable, but Jeffrey didn’t like them following him.
Compared to him, these bodyguards were more obedient to the head of the Shwell family, his grandfather.
Not only did these people protect him, but they also reported his daily life to his family. This made Jeffrey feel like he was being watched.
So when he was fourteen or fifteen years old and had enough ability to act independently, he began to think of ways to get rid of these bodyguards, but this did not mean that these bodyguards really obeyed him. 𝘧𝘳ℯℯ𝓌ℯ𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
He didn’t want his grandfather to know about what had happened today, so he didn’t want anvone else to hear about it except the driver.
He promised the driver, “Don’t worry, I’m just going to take a look. I won’t take any risks.”
The driver could only hide his worries and continue to follow the car in front.
Finally, after more than an hour, they arrived at an abandoned factory.
Jeffrey got out of the car. The driver wanted to follow him, but he was stopped by him. “Guard the car well. Come and pick me up later.”
Then, under the driver’s anxious gaze, he entered the factory through a small hole in the barbed wire in the corner that could only accommodate one person.
The abandoned factory was huge. He didn’t know where those people took Sonia to, so he could only listen to Caroline’s movements through the bug. He gradually arrived at the deepest part of the factory and finally saw the two men who had entered the garden and kidnapped Sonia.
One of them was at the door, talking excitedly on the phone, while the other was standing behind the door, his gaze fixed on the room. Jeffrey guessed that Sonia was inside and was guarding someone.
At the same time, he also saw the two men Caroline sent out.
Jeffrey believed that he wouldn’t be able to go against either of them with his abilities. The only way for him to sneak into the room and take Sonia away was to make them fight.
Unfortunately, Caroline was a very cautious person. After knowing the location of the kidnappers, for safety reasons, she did not order the two men to immediately carry out the rescue operation. Instead, she asked them to wait for more people to arrive before carrying out the rescue.
But Jeffrey wanted them to have fewer people so that he could move more easily.
He first circled around the house and made sure that he could climb into the house through a broken window at the back. Then, he began to move.
He first sneaked behind Caroline’s two men, about 40 to 50 meters away from them. He lay on the stairs on the second floor and took out a palm-sized pistol from his pocket.
He had heard from his grandfather that these professionally trained people were especially sensitive to unfamiliar killing intent.
Therefore, in order to prevent himself from being exposed, Jeffrey did not dare to aim at all. Instead, he raised his pistol and quickly fired in the direction of the door.
The sound of gunshots echoed throughout the factory. Jeffrey quickly lay on the ground and used the stairs to hide his figure. He secretly took a detour and came to the back of the house.
“Who is it?”
There was a commotion from the other side, mixed with a few curses, followed by a few gunshots.
Jeffrey pressed down on his pounding heart and climbed into the window.
This abandoned house was originally an office, so it was divided into small rooms. Jeffrey climbed into one of the small rooms through the window.
The room was covered in dust and some office trash. He quietly jumped down and hid behind the door, staring in the direction of the door.
At this moment, there were still occasional gunshots outside. It was obvious that the confrontation outside had not stopped, and the person guarding the door was no longer there.
Jeffrey let out a sigh of relief. He listened carefully and found that there seemed to be some movement in the room not far away. He peeked out and carefully walked over. Sure enough, he found a large gunny sack in the room, and there was the sound of struggling inside.
He quietly approached and asked the person in the sack, “Hey, is it Sonia?”
