Chapter 406 Timely Rescue
Abigail didn’t ept the pears. Instead, she replied shyly, “I’m allergic to pears. I want to ask about
someone. Do you know Kelly Hagl? She’s the adoptive daughter of one of the families in this vige.”
The woman looked slightly puzzled after hearing her inquiry. Then, she nodded. “Yes, I do know her.
She lives in the upper vige. Do you see that mountain? Climb over it, and you’ll arrive at a new
vige. That’s where her house is.”
“Thank you,” Abigail said politely.
Then, she began to ponder as she looked at the mountain not far away.
Even though the mountain isn’t high, my safety will be at stake as I go deeper.
Moreover, I did notice that this woman obviously looked confused when I asked her about Kelly just
now.
She’s lying. She doesn’t know Kelly at all.
Abigail pretended to ce her entire attention on the mountain as she came to the conclusion that the
vige was very peculiar in a bad way.
In fact, she could clearly feel a few families peeking at her from inside their houses.
“I wonder if my phone will have a signal in the mountain.” Abigail suddenly turned her head and said to
the couple, who were standing by the door and staring at her.
The man immediately said, “Of course, there will be. Otherwise, how do you think we contact the
outside world? Don’t worry. Our vige isn’t that underdeveloped. We have everything here.”
Once again, Abigail knew he was lying, for her phone had no signal thest time she checked.
Just when she was in a dilemma, a voice belonging to another stranger sounded, interrupting
them.
“Miss, are you going to the upper vige?”
Abigail turned around and saw an unfamiliar young man.
“I’m looking for someone.” In truth, she didn’t really want to go. Alás, she couldn’t afford to be frank
about it at the moment.

“Now’s not a good time to go. It rained heavily yesterday, and the water in the river at the foothill has
yet to recede. Why don’t youe back again in two days?” the young man advised.
Inually, Abigail thought he would offer to take her with him. So, she didn’t expect that he was

helping her to back out of a dangerous situation like this.
“That’s a good idea. I live in the city, so I can easily get here by car. In that case, I’lle back again in
two days. She decided to follow the flow.
The young man nodded and said to her, “Let me walk you to the vige’s entrance. I have just returned
from school and am going home. It’s on the way.”
Abigail hummed in agreement.
Sensing that something was wrong with the vige’s atmosphere, she quickly followed the young man
and left.
When they reached the vige’s entrance, the young man whispered, “Stay away from this vige. It’s
not as safe as you think. Since I’m on a mission, I can’t leave.”
“Thank you.” Abigail didn’t ask any further questions.
In reality, she had already suspected that Vincent and Kelly might have fabricated the information
Ronaldo found since the moment she stepped into the vige and noticed something was off.
Meanwhile, the young man returned to the vige after seeing Abigail off. At the same time, all the
vigers came out from their hidey holes.
The old woman who lived at the front end of the vige stood gloomily among the crowd. Then, she
criticized in a cold voice, “You think we’re running some sort of illegal operations here. Am I right?
That’s why you deliberately lead that youngdy away. Your action really has betrayed the respect we
have for you.”
Her Corynthean was fluent. Although she still had a slight ent, it no longer had a strong dialect.
“I’m telling the truth, and judging from the youngdy’s appearance, she’s probably some rich heiress.
What if she loses her life crossing the river and her family searches for her here? The entire vige will
be under suspicion when that happens. It’s bad if we alert the police, isn’t it?” the young man exined
calmly.
Although the vigers were displeased with him, they still didn’t pick on him too much. After all, he was
a young man who returned to the vige afterpleting his studies outside.
“Stop meddling in other people’s business and just mind your own!” the old woman yelled. Then. she
turned around and went back inside her house.
Once the vigers dispersed, the young man looked toward the van, which Sean and Cameron were in,
not far away. He merely nced at it and swiftly retracted his gaze.
2/3
Abigail had to wait for a bus to take her from the vige back to the city center of Sicuaro,
While she spent her time waiting, she ended up walking alone on the yellow muddy path. Her mind was
filled with the young teacher’s warnings as she looked at the endless mountains.
Is there something illegal operating in this vige that requires an undercover agent to stay here for a
long
time?
A plethora of thoughts ran through her mind. It was already an hourter when the bus finally made it to
her station. Still, she didn’t dare to keep her guard down. She didn’t even dare to shut her eyes while
sitting on the bus.
Abigail wasted no time texting Luna once she was back in the city center.
‘Hey, I’m back. I will head over to the exhibition venue pronto.
Luna, who was originally worried about her after receiving a text containing her pinned location,
breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the news of her return.
‘Sure.
Many clothing brands participated in the apparel exhibition. Even so, Abigail and Luna still couldn’t find
an ideal coborator even after spending a day shopping around the venue. Instead, they bought a lot
of nice clothes for themselves,
Once they were back at the hotel, Lunay on the couch and said to Abigail, “The exhibition is
fantastic, but it’s a pity that we can’t find an ideal coborator.”
On the other hand, Abigail sat on the armchair and drank water. After she listened to Luna’s.
return to Pendorf, we’llunch a clothing waste recycling program. What do you think?”
“Why the sudden idea?” Luna looked at her.
“Actually, I have thought about starting it next year. But ever since everything that has happened. to our
know a school that needs help. The children and staff of the school are short of daily necessities all
year round, especially clothes. It would be best if someone could donate their clothes to them,” Abigail
borated.
Since we’re doing charity, we’d betterunch it ahead of schedule.
Moreover, thepany is getting suppressed at the moment. If this charity program seeds, those
who suppress J. Moon wille to fear us.
