The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 169
What would one feel when a car crashed into a river from arge bridge at a height of thirty meters?
Anyway, it was a magnificent sight.
A loud noise sounded with a boom, and the sshed water went up to a height of ten meters.
It was no different from crashing into a concrete surface.
The airbags were instantly deployed.
Michelle fainted in a state of extreme fear.
On therge bridge, a few passing cars stopped to check out what happened with a few people
contacting the police as well. A woman, who wore a mask and a cap, came off from one of the dump
trucks.
She was Pepper Kimmich.
Walking toward the edge of the bridge, she took a few nces down into the waters below before
hurriedly speaking into her dedicated headset to give her orders, “Stand by the river in case they try to
escape. Divers, prepare to get the items. The rest on the ground, retreat and watch for cover. The
authorities will be here soon.”
After firing off a few orders in quick session, she left in a ck car.
Soon after, the dump trucks on the bridge hurriedly left.

Those men, who were arranged by Pepper for the chase earlier, evacuated in just a few minutes’ time.
….
Half an hourter, the divers reported to Pepper that Alex’s car was empty. They could neither find the
two of them nor the century-old medicinal herbs from auction earlier.
“What? How could this happen?’
In a luxurious vi, Pepper was livid after hearing the reports. After all, she had nned such a huge
operation and invested countless manpower, causing such a huge stir, as well as spending extra effort
to prevent the leak of the incident, but it was all in vain.
“Where are the targets? Where did they go? Didn’t I order you to keep a watch? How could you lose
them, are you guys blind?”
The century-old medicinal herbs, particrly the two-hundred-year-old ginseng, was very important to
Pepper and it must not be lost.
Her subordinate replied, “Miss Kimmich, our men were vignt and scanned the perimeter multiple
times but they did not see anyoneing out of the water at all. We guessed that’s because the river
is connected to the ocean, and at that time, the gate holding the ocean was opened, the river current
became swift as the tide flew into the river. They were probably flushed away by the swift current after
climbing out of their car, and they are most probably dead by now.”
“A bunch of fools! Why do I need you guys if you can’t evenplete such a simple task?!” Pepper
was very angry. She did not care for Alex and Michelle’s lives at all, what she cared the most was the
century-old medicinal herbs.
After ending the call, she angrily shattered a coffee with a kick.
Baldy came up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. “Rx, my dear. There’s no need to be
angry. Even if the century-old medicinal herbs are gone, we can always search for them. In fact, I’d
rather take it easy, as I don’t want to go back and serve the old man that quickly. Come, let us rx.”
At this moment, Pepper’s cell phone rang once again. It was a call from John Rockefeller.
“Pepper, I have something to discuss with you. Can youe to the teahouse?” said John.
Immediately, Pepper motioned Baldy to be quiet.
Earlier, she was cursing angrily but her expression changed instantly. Putting on a sweet voice, she
said, “Mr. Rockefeller, you’re looking for me? Is there anything? Today, I… my body is not really up for
it!”
John replied, “Pepper, do you think I’m looking for you because of that kind of business? I am thinking
of ways to kill that brat, Alex. I don’t know where that brat learned martial arts, he’s actually a fighter
now. I can never get a good night’s sleep as long as he is alive and kicking!”
Pepper cackled like a hen. “Mr. Rockefeller, you can sleep well tonight. I just received news that Alex’s
car crashed into the East River. He’s dead.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes!”
“This is good news! Come to the teahouse now, Pepper, I want to thank you!”
“Well… uh… okay!”
