Chapter 63 I pped You For My Man


    Winona’s back stiffened and slowly clenched her fists. Her heart ached not for herself but for Matt


    because now she understood that the person who stabbed his back was the President.


    She slowly turned around and raised her eyebrows. “Oh really? Didn’t Mr. President notice my actions


    just now?”


    She smiled as she waved the remote control in her hand. Her smile was entrancing. “Let’s perish


    together. Now everyone in this building would be buried with me. This is a great deal!”


    The President stared nkly at her. At that moment, he thought that he saw that woman in his memory


    smiling at him and the world fell quiet.


    By then, the security had broadcast the emergency code throughout the President’s Office and all


    security personnel was activated to surround the office. Winona knew that it was impossible for her to


    escape and she was making a bet with her life.


    The President’s personal bodyguard pointed a gun at her and said, “Madam, the entire ce is


    covered with snipers. You cannot escape. Please cooperate with us.”


    “With only a press, everyone will be blown to kingdome!”


    The President suddenly waved to the bodyguard and said, “Let her leave.”


    “Sir…”


    “Do as I say!” he demanded.


    Everyone quickly lowered their guns and made way for her. His decision caught Winona by surprise.


    Did she ce the right bet? They were afraid of dying.


    She started to walk out but then turned back around. She raised her hand and pped him in the face.


    His eyesses flew off his face.


    “This p is for my man. Just remember this. One day I’ll get even with you!” Winona warned.


    Everyone gasped at what Winona did. She even dared to hit a sitting President!


    People in the room were stunned as they silently watched Winona walk away.


    A bodyguard spoke as he gestured to shoot her head, “Mr. President, shall we?”


    The President shook his head. He walked to the desk and removed a box stuck with chewing gum


    under the desk. There was no bomb inside the box. There were only several batteries. He thenughed


    mockingly, “It’s General Snider’s luck to marry such an outstanding woman.”


    There were women in this world who did not care for wealth or fame. As long as you won their heart,


    they would give their life for you. She was no Cleopatra, but she''s beautiful in her own way. His first


    love was such a woman and Winona was another.


    “Shall we give chase?” the bodyguard asked.


    “Just go through the motions. Don’t harm her.”


    “Yes Sir!” The bodyguard saluted and left in a hurry.


    Winona left the President’s Office and soon several cars and a bunch of guards started to chase after


    her. She ran quickly towards a narrow walkway and grabbed whatever she could to block the way


    behind her. The guards were getting close and her breathing became painful.


    Suddenly an unmarked car stopped in front of her and the driver shouted, “Winona, get in!”


    She quickly opened the door and got in. Benjamin drove the car haphazardly through the pedestrian


    path; people screamed and cussed at him. There were even sirens ring in the distance.


    “Follow me!” He dumped the car and grabbed her hand as he led her through the crowd and into a


    narrow alley. The alleyway was veryplex. Even the locals might get lost inside here. The police


    and guards ran in all directions without any leads.


    At this moment, Benjamin already led Winona to a rented house. He squatted down to tap on the


    flooring and removed the flooring which revealed adder within. He pointed to thedder and said to


    Winona, “After you.”


    “Benjamin, where is this ce?” Winona asked.


    He smiled wryly and said, “Don’t trust me? Then I’ll go down first. Follow me.” He then climbed down


    thedder while Winona followed. She then carefully re-ced the flooring. It was a narrow footpath


    with voice-activated lights. As they walked, their footsteps activated the corresponding lights.


    She suddenly remembered Matt mentioned once that Mr. Larson had been impeached because he had


    privately done some illegal businesses. Could this footpath be the Larson family’s secret passage for


    their illegal deals?


    “Benjamin, I’m sorry.” Winona apologized when she realized that he was willing to expose his family


    secrets to her but she would not even trust him to walk behind her.


    He turned to look at her seriously, “Winona, remember this. You are the most important person in my


    heart.”


    “Perhaps I’d be very touched if you told me this before I met Matt,” Winona said. Now everything he


    said was pointless to her.


    He did not respond but continued to walk silently. Soon, the way ahead started to brighten up. They


    walked to the end and it was a span of an open field. There were several aircraft on the field.


    “Winona, this is as far as I can take you.” Benjamin said.


    “I understand. Thanks.” Winona said.


    “Don’t you have anything else to tell me except thanks?” Benjamin asked.


    She extended her hand towards him and said, “We will be lifelong friends.”


    He did not shake her hand because he knew that there was a Matt Snider and a secret that stood


    between them. They can no longer be friends.


    He patted her shoulder and said, “Be on your way. I’ll wait for your good news.”


    He watched her aircraft take off and disappear into the sky. He then said to himself, “Winona, now will


    you finally give up on him?”


    After two days and nights’ journey, the aircraft finallynded at Esnurg’s District 13. There was a huge


    gathering of refugees. It was also the nearest to Cosmos. Apparently, Cosmos had established a


    kingdom here. Furthermore, the surrounding refugees had to submit to them.


    Winona exchanged her clothes with one of the refugees and gave her some money to hire her as


    Winona’s guide. Winona spoke fluently to her with Esnurg’snguage, “I’m looking for a group of men


    in Coscana’s military uniform. I heard that they are nearby.”


    The refugee nodded her head and said, “Yes, Miss. Their camp is in a nearby forest. I’ll take you


    there.”


    She brought Winona through a packed refugee camp. The refugees were shabby and many were


    injured. They all looked desperate and hopeless. Everyone was starving. Several stretched out their


    hands to beg but she had nothing to give them.


    Winona felt that the road was bing increasingly remote. She started to feel that something was


    wrong.


    “Madam, where are you bringing me to?” Winona asked.


    “We’re there, we’re almost there.” The woman assured.


    They were in a ce with a lot of copsed walls. On some of the walls were strange symbols.


    Suddenly Winona could hear a man’sughter from afar. She suddenly felt danger and turned to leave

    but the woman held onto her tightly and said, “Why are you running? The men you’re looking for are


    over there!”


    “Piss off, bitch!” Winona kicked her away and quickly ran from that dangerous ce. Suddenly a


    gunshot could be heard and some dust was kicked up just beside her feet.


    She raised her hands and saw a group of soldiers. However, they were leering and whistling at her,


    “This chick is fine! Let’s have some fun with her!”
