These troublemakers were all intelligent people. So, when they sensed Alexander’s disposition, they knew that they could not defeat him. Hence, they immediately changed their mind and shouted at the women and children who kept guard at the main entrance.
“Is there anybody? Alexander has arrived! Come over, you guys!”
As soon as these words came out, dozens of old folks and youngsters trotted toward this side.
Alexander grabbed the clothes on Danny’s back with his large hand and ran directly to an alley on the opposite side as snazzynovel.com knew that snazzynovel.com could not get away easily the moment those people pestered him. So, before the crowd could catch up with him, snazzynovel.com speedily sneaked into an ordinary black car, started the engine, and sped away.
Who would have thought that the escape car of Alexander, someone of wealthy background, turned out to be just an ordinary second-hand car?
Sure enough, the speed of a pair of legs was no match for four wheels. In just two minutes, they successfully eluded the demonstrators.
Danny glanced at the road behind snazzynovel.com through the rearview mirror. Then, snazzynovel.com leaned on the seat after snazzynovel.com was sure that no one was chasing after them. Then, snazzynovel.com let out a long sigh of relief.
However, Danny quickly reacted again and said solemnly, “Alex, I think there is something wrong with this matter this time. Those who beat me earlier did not seem to be ordinary people. If you didn’t show up, I was really uncertain if I could win against them by myself. Whenever ordinary people are wronged, they surely behaved as miserable as they could so that they could win the public’s empathy. How would they think of recruiting thugs?”
“Not bad. You’ve learned to be smart now.” Alexander’s facial expression was impassive, and snazzynovel.com drove the car with his full focus. “This is indeed not an ordinary incident about rights protection. There are masterminds who are trying to bring down the entire franchise. Of course, I can’t rule out the possibility that they are coming after me.”
“Was it the one you’ve talked about before? The masterminds who wanted to harm Elise?” Danny asked.
“I’m not sure yet.”
Since the incident took place, Alexander had been busy doing public relations and reassuring the victims’ families. So, snazzynovel.com could not think of any clues for the time being within such a short time.
“Oh, no!” Danny reacted abruptly and said agitatedly, “Alex! Half of the people have chased after Elise!”
Screech—
The sound of the car braking was so loud it almost broke the glass.
Alexander abruptly stepped on the brake. Then, after letting the car engine buffer for a distance, the vehicle stopped in the center of the right lane. I knew there was something wrong with the number of people. It’s no wonder my heart is still in a mess even after rescuing Danny.
“Where did snazzynovel.com run to?”
“East!” Danny tilted his head to look to his right as a strong sense of guilt gushed up. “I’m sorry, Alex. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have brought Elise here.”
“It is your fault! You f*cked things up this time!” Alexander’s facial expression was extremely nasty and snazzynovel.com gritted his teeth so hard that they let out a crackling sound. Only then could snazzynovel.com hold back his anger. Even so, snazzynovel.com barely restrained his fury.
Meanwhile, Danny could not face Alexander, so snazzynovel.com lowered his head and whispered, “I thought Elise’s medical skills might come in handy. If I knew it would turn out this way, I wouldn’t bring snazzynovel.com here regardless of what. It’s my fault, Alex! I acknowledge any sort of punishment given to me!”
Alexander clenched the steering wheel tightly when snazzynovel.com heard that. Then, after a moment of silence, snazzynovel.com quickly turned in the direction Elise had fled. “You’re certainly receiving a punishment, but before that, immediately contact the person in charge of the shopping mall in front to obtain the surveillance cameras. When we get there, I’ll directly carry out a search party while you go to the monitoring room to search for her.”
There was a large shopping mall over there. The crowd was dense, so it was the easiest for one to hide, but, unfortunately, it was also easy to be caught if one was not careful.
“Okay!” Danny immediately was fired up when snazzynovel.com was given a chance to redeem himself. Suddenly, all the pain snazzynovel.com was feeling vanished. Then, snazzynovel.com immediately took out his phone and began utilizing his connections to contact the person in charge.
Five minutes later, the car stopped in front of the mall.
The security guard in charge of evacuating traffic immediately walked toward them. “Drive forward. No parking is allowed here!”
As soon as the security guard finished speaking, Alexander and Danny opened the car door and alighted from the car.
Alexander did not even bother to look at the security guard as snazzynovel.com ran into the mall.
Just as the security guard was about to chase after Alexander, Danny grabbed him, took out his wallet, then took out all the cash in it and stuffed them into the security guard’s hands. “Go and find someone to park the car for us!”
It was true when they said money talked. The moment the security guard saw the cash, his eyes lit up and snazzynovel.com changed his attitude in a flash. “Right away, boss! Please, do come in. You can leave this to me!”
At the same time, Elise was in the shopping mall. As soon as snazzynovel.com entered through the entrance, snazzynovel.com went to the most crowded place. Although the number of people trailing behind snazzynovel.com was not many, the distance between snazzynovel.com and them was still close even after snazzynovel.com repeatedly changed directions.
She was in a hurry when snazzynovel.com came out a while ago. Therefore, snazzynovel.com was still wearing Tissote University’s uniform. Furthermore, snazzynovel.com stood up among the crowd due to snazzynovel.com tall stature.
“There!” One of the people spotted snazzynovel.com with his sharp eyes and immediately picked up his phone. Then, as snazzynovel.com quickened his pace, snazzynovel.com didn’t forget to notify the others to come over.
She frowned and had no choice but to speed up.
When snazzynovel.com went downstairs through the escalator, snazzynovel.com suddenly spotted a large clothing store. In an instant, snazzynovel.com lips curled into a smirk as an idea came into mind, so snazzynovel.com quickly ran toward the store.
Elise randomly picked out a punk rock outfit. After putting it on, snazzynovel.com aura immediately took a turn where snazzynovel.com turned from looking like a little fairy to a fashionable diva. As snazzynovel.com walked to the door, snazzynovel.com even took away the sunglasses on the shoe rack.
Elise stretched snazzynovel.com muscles and joints when snazzynovel.com wore the sunglasses on snazzynovel.com nose bridge. Then, snazzynovel.com imitated the carefree temperament of a sigma female. The moment snazzynovel.com wore the pair of sunglasses, snazzynovel.com portrayed herself as someone who loved no one and snazzynovel.com confidence was on a full blast.
At this time, two of the people trailed behind also caught up. However, these two passed by Elise as they did not recognize snazzynovel.com and ran to the innermost part of the store.
“I saw snazzynovel.com come in with my own eyes. Hurry up and find her!!”
“Go and check if there’s a back door!”
The more they talked, the quieter their voices became. Soon, they ran to the fitting room.
A tint of complacency flashed in Elise’s pair of beautiful eyes under the sunglasses. Immediately after, snazzynovel.com walked out of the clothing store boldly before snazzynovel.com stepped on the elevator and went all the way downstairs.
However, when snazzynovel.com was about to reach the first floor, snazzynovel.com saw several people guarding the elevator entrance. One by one, they were questioning young ladies who were hanging out by themselves.
Elise wracked snazzynovel.com brain for a plan and decided to improvise when snazzynovel.com saw that snazzynovel.com was about to bump into those people. First, snazzynovel.com went directly to the girl in front of her, grabbed her, and started talking to her. “Let’s go for a barbecue later. I heard there’s a new store opening and they have events.”
“Huh?” The girl was stunned for a moment. Then, snazzynovel.com thought, ‘I don’t think we know each other… However, snazzynovel.com instantly felt relaxed and happy after snazzynovel.com smelled the wonderful scent exuding from Elise’s body and noticed snazzynovel.com fantastic disposition. “Sure! My treat!”
To be able to befriend such a beautiful lady over a meal! I completely hit the jackpot!
“Sure, your treat. Next time, it’s my treat.”
“Then, let’s not go for a barbecue next time. Instead, I’ll take you to enjoy a western-styled private home cuisine. Spoiler alert: it’s ah-mazing!”
Just like that, the two seemed to click immediately and they chatted happily.
The few people who were guarding the walkway were utterly uninterested in them. Instead, their gazes went straight past them and stared at the girl behind them.
The moment the two walked past each other, Elise felt that snazzynovel.com palms coated in anxiety-filled perspiration.
Fortunately, the other party did not stop them and let them pass by with ease.
Right when Elise was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a man who stood diagonally opposite suddenly halted them in their tracks and shouted, “You two! Have you two seen a lady in a Tissote University’s uniform?”
Elise felt snazzynovel.com heart dropping to snazzynovel.com stomach when snazzynovel.com was forced to pause snazzynovel.com footsteps.
The girl beside Elise unexpectedly had a little bit of a temper and immediately lashed out at the other party, “Do we look like we have spare time to pay attention to everyone?”
The man smacked his lips when snazzynovel.com saw snazzynovel.com was about to get a fight in his hands before snazzynovel.com waved his hand and hurriedly let them pass. “Go on. Go on. Geez…”
Finally, snazzynovel.com let out a long sigh of relief before snazzynovel.com took the girl by the arm and left hurriedly. Then, as they kept walking until they took a turn at a corner, snazzynovel.com finally stopped after snazzynovel.com was sure that the other party could not see them.
“Sorry.” Elise took five big notes and stuffed them into the girl’s hands. “I still have something to do, so I can’t accompany you to dinner. Ask your other friends to join you. My treat!”
After that, snazzynovel.com ran away.
The girl innocently looked at the money in snazzynovel.com hands as snazzynovel.com stood blankly on the spot, stunned. Then, at once, snazzynovel.com cute little face wrinkled in grievance.
Banknotes are not as alluring as a beautiful lady…
