Silly Bride

Chapter 356

And soon, Winnie received a new order from Harold: Just drive. Stop dilly-dallying!Winnie glanced at the screen of the phone. Enduring the irritation and frustration, she tossed the phone aside.The phone fell off. Xavier, in the passenger seat, immediately bent down to pick up the phone.He put the phone into his pocket, then reached out and put on a pair of headphones for Winnie.The headset was connected to James’ line to ease communication.Winnie started the car and said, “Harold is urging me to move. Can I go now?”“Yes!” James immediately issued an order, “Our car will follow you. Keep in touch at all times.”“Okay,” Winnie whispered a response and slammed on the accelerator.She wasn’t driving fast, but the red dot representing her on the locator finally started to move.As the car drove forward for less than five hundred meters, Winnie received another text message from Harold on her phone.Xavier frowned the moment he saw it.Winnie caught a glimpse of the expression on his face out of the corner of her eyes. She glanced at him sideways. “What’s the matter? What tricks is he playing again?”Xavier frowned. He was also wearing a headset provided by James.Hence, everyone could hear what he was about to say.“Harold must have had spies near the science academy. He just sent two photos of our car. He spotted the police car. Now he sent another text message, saying that he wanted the police to leave. Otherwise, we will bear the consequences.”“What consequences? What is he going to do?” Hearing Xavier’s words, James asked immediately.Xavier instinctively looked down and read Harold’s text message before confirming, “He didn’t say anything.”Right at that moment, a trash can suddenly exploded less than five meters away from their car.Amid a loud bang, all kinds of rubbish splashed in all directions. The windshield in front of Winnie and Xavier was instantly covered with a layer of rubbish residue and disgustingly colored liquid.Winnie was caught off guard and slammed on the brakes. Both of their bodies involuntarily thrust forward from the inertia.“D*mn it!” Winnie rubbed her buzzing ears and cursed fiercely.At the same time, the phone in Xavier’s hand vibrated again.He frowned. After glancing at the text message, he said, “Harold said that next time it would not be as simple as an explosion of a trash can. Officer Clark, he sounds well prepared. We better not take the risk.”James’ car was behind Winnie. Although they were still quite a distance fromNôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

the trash can when it exploded, their eardrums almost ruptured from the loud boom.The bomb looked deadly.If Harold really detonated it, the consequences would be disastrous.“Okay, we will stop following for the time being. I don’t believe that Harold can plant spies in the whole city. At best, they are on the route he has drawn up. I will ask someone to investigate along the way. Please be careful and keep in touch.”“All right.”With that, Winnie continued to drive the car.James also started sending his team for investigation along the route.Their work was very efficient, and soon, they caught a suspicious-looking person on the road. They immediately took the person back for interrogation.However, this person refused to say anything.James and the others failed to get any information out of the person for the time being. They could only shift back their focus to Winnie and Xavier. After the car drove for another ten of kilometers, James risked sending another car behind Winnie and Xavier. Unfortunately, it was immediately spotted by the cunning Harold.This time, Harold texted a location to Winnie.As soon as Xavier and Winnie saw this message, they knew immediately something was wrong.After Xavier forwarded the address to James, the latter immediately asked the bureau to check if any call had been received earlier.Upon investigation, they found that someone had indeed called the police two minutes ago, saying that a small bridge somewhere had been blown up. Two vehicles and three pedestrians that were on the bridge at that time fell off.James immediately checked the address of the explosion. It was the address that Harold sent to Winnie.James dared not to send his men to follow the car anymore. Harold was really a devil, as he wouldn’t care about other people’s lives at all.James’ heart clenched in fury and sorrow when he thought about this.He said to Winnie and Xavier, “You two can only depend on yourselves for the rest of the journey. We can’t follow too closely. This also leads to a distance difference and a time difference between us. No matter what happens next, please place your own safety first. Please try to stall the opponents when you arrive at the destination and wait for our arrival.”“Don’t worry, Officer Clark,” Winnie said after taming her anger. She looked straight ahead and said, “We will be careful.”Since all of their conversations could be heard by others, Xavier and Winnie didn’t communicate much.They just held each other’s hands as the car moved forward smoothly.After they drove for about an hour, Winnie’s cell phone rang suddenly.It was a call from Josiah.Xavier knew that Winnie went to the hospital to visit Josiah before receiving the bloody package today, so he was

not surprised when he received Josiah’s call.He straight away turned on the loudspeaker. “Josiah, it’s me.”Josiah went straight to the point. “Xavier, are you two together now? Can Winnie hear me?”“Yes. What is it?” Winnie responded.“The thing is ready.” Josiah was unaware of Winnie’s and Xavier’s situation right now. He spoke in an upbeat hum despite the exhaustion.“Do you need me to send it to you now? I’m telling you, this thing was so volatile. It almost blinded my eyes when I was running the trials. My eyes are still watery now. You have to make it up to me after everything is settled.”“Mm, don’t worry.” Winnie frowned slightly and said in a light tone, “Thank you, but I no longer need it.”“What do you mean?” Josiah realized that something was off when he heard Winnie. “What happened after you left the hospital? Isn’t this exactly what you want? Why do you no longer need it? ““Time is running out. Josiah, there are some things that we can’t tell you right now. We will explain them to you when we come back.”“Don’t! Don’t do this!” Josiah immediately raised his voice. “Haven’t I told you that I have an accurate sixth sense? Although I don’t know what you are going to do, I’ve been getting these signs this afternoon. My eyelids kept twitching, and tears kept falling. I kept having this uneasy feeling in the laboratory just now. I feel even more uneasy after hearing what you said. Winnie, Xavier, can I ask for one thing from you guys? No matter where you plan to go today, come back immediately!”
