Chapter 1992


    ?


    The moon was shining bright in the sky, but it could not illuminate the way.


    There was no one in this lonely alley. I had just finished dinner with Shannon in her ward when Jordan came back. I left as I did not want to disturb them.


    Since I just ate, I did not want to go back too early. I decided to go for a walk on my own along this alley to help digest my dinner.


    I did not like the busy traffic on therger streets, and the tranquility of the alleys was unexpectedly attractive to me.


    It was quiet, and no one would be around to disturb me.


    Suddenly, there were two figures in front of me, blocking my way.


    I looked up. They were unfamiliar faces. Looking at them, I took a few steps back. "Who sent you?"


    I had been through these kinds of situations so many times that I was not afraid anymore.


    The two of them looked at each other as if surprised by my reaction. Perhaps they had never seen someone so calm when they had been obstructed. "You''re Wanda Lane, right?"


    "Yes. Who''s the boss who sent you two to obstruct me? Let''s talk. Is it for money, or is it something else?" I already had the answer deep down, but I did not reveal it.


    The thinner man gave me a sharp look. "What a load of nonsense. Juste with us if you know what''s best for you and we won''t make it hard for you."


    It looked like they wanted something else since that person ad told them not to hurt me.


    If that was the case, then there was nothing to fear.


    I nodded and replied, "Okay, let''s go. Where are we headed?"


    They took me to a ck Volkswagen and opened the door to let me in. After I got in, the skinny guy went to the front to drive while the stockier man sat next to me.


    I fixed my eyes on the window the entire journey. Feeling the cool wind outside, I was very refreshed. The car swerved, turning into several alleys before exiting the main road and then turning into another small road again. It all seemed veryplicated.


    "We''re here."


    Only after the thin man''s voice sounded did I react. The stocky man pushed me out of the car.


    Upon opening the car door, we wereText ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    met with an abandoned dpidated


    el:


    house in front of us. We were probably in the suburbs, and the


    house looked like it was self-built.


    Under their lead, I arrived at the second floor.


    The wind was blowing in all


    directions. There was no electricity, so it was dark and one could tell that therewas nothing here with what little moonlight that shone through.


    After standing about for a while, I got impatient and said, "I''m already here. You don''t need to hide anymore. You might as well face me head-on than hide."


    A long time passed and no voice answered me.


    The two men looked back at me with sharp eyes as if to remind me not to cause trouble.


    However, I ignored them. I did not want to waste time, so I said again, "Do you hear me, Nicky?!"


    The moment I said that, a figure came out of the darkness. She pped her hands and smiled. "You''re still quite smart, Wanda."


    Nicky''s disgusting face came into view. She approached me slowly and did not stop until she was in front of me. She lifted my chin with her fingers and leaned in closer "The calmer you are, the more disgusted I am. Pretend to be afraid and ask me for mercy and maybe I''ll let you go."


    "You dare do this to me, Nicky?" I met her knife-like gaze with a calm tone.


    I had told her about the people backing me and thought she would not dare do anything.


    Unfortunately, I underestimated her again.


    Hearing my words, Nicky turned around and smiled as she pointed to the two men. "Do you know why I told them not to hurt you?" "Why?"


    Since she wanted me to press for answers, I would just ask.
