    Chapter 1830: Intentionally Captured


    After making her decision, Fair quickly crawled forward for a distance.


    When she was about to reach Anderson, she said to him, "I''ll tell you the route for the remaining part,


    so you should also remember it. I''m afraid I might forgetter if I get nervous."


    In the darkness, Anderson couldn''t see her face or her expression, and he didn''t have time to wonder.

    He simply said, "Okay."


    Fair continued, "We''ve already covered more than half of the distance. Now, head 35 degrees


    southwest for 8 meters, then turn left and go 6 meters. Finally, continue south until the end. Go down


    from there, and you''ll be able to get out. Anderson, did you remember?"


    In the darkness, Anderson replied, "I remembered."


    "Then you go ahead. I''m scared," Fair said.


    At that moment, they heard somemotion below them.


    Anderson asked, "What''s happening down there? It doesn''t sound right."


    Fair hushed him, saying, "Let''s not worry about anything else. Anderson, from now on, let''s not talk to


    each other. You''ve memorized the route, you go ahead, and I''ll follow behind. Let''s notmunicate


    anymore once I count to three to avoid being discovered. Three, two, one."


    After counting, silence filled the narrow venttion duct.


    Following the n, Anderson crawled forward alone, believing that Fair was right behind him.


    He never imagined that Fair didn''t follow him. Instead, she quietly went back and returned directly


    above the hall of the activity center.


    Meanwhile, Anderson was getting farther away.


    Fair heard the ck-d individuals below shouting, "We found something in the women''s restroom."


    "What''s going on?" another ck-d individual hurriedly asked, "Quick, tell me. If we can''t find that


    child, we''re doomed."


    "There seems to be something happening with the venttion duct above the utility cab. It looks like


    it has been tampered with, but it''s only partially closed," the ck-d individual said.


    "Could it be a routine inspection?" someone asked.


    At that moment, another ck-d individual rushed out of the women''s restroom and said, "It''s not an


    inspection. I found shoeprints. They really look like a child''s. There''s a child hiding in the venttion


    duct. We need to catch him quickly."


    Fair heard everything clearly and knew that the ck-d individuals were targeting Anderson.


    She absolutely couldn''t let them capture Anderson.


    She increased her speed as she crawled back, leading the ck-d individuals farther away, making


    it less likely for Anderson to be discovered.


    When she returned near the women''s restroom, she deliberately made some noise in the venttion


    duct, exposing herself.


    The ck-d individuals noticed and shouted, "I hear his voice! He''s in the venttion duct. Damn,


    the duct is too narrow. I can''t get in. You''re thinner, go inside."


    Another ck-d individual was pushed into the venttion duct and crawled forward. Finally, he


    caught the trembling Fair.


    Fair had intentionally allowed herself to be captured.


    As the ck-d individual pulled her out of the venttion duct, she pretended to cry in fear.


    "Help, help, don''t capture me!" she pretended to tremble in fear, her hair disheveled, and her face dirty.


    The ck-d individual frowned. "Why is it a girl? The word ''head'' meant a boy. What''s your name?"


    Fair answered with a trembling voice, "My name is Fair. Sob, let me go, let me go. I want my mommy!"


    Several ck-d individuals looked at each other. "No little boy, but there really is someone named


    Fair. Should we call the boss?"


    Fair kept kicking her legs and crying. She deliberately irritated the ck-d individuals, wanting to


    distract their attention. This way, they would never know that there was someone else in the venttion


    duct.


    The ck-d individuals found Fair too noisy and threw her on the ground in the hall.


    One of them quickly called Cloud.


    After the call connected, the ck-d individual reported, "Boss, we didn''t find the little boy, but we


    did find a little girl named Fair. She hid in a tricky ce, but we found her."


    Cloud remained silent for a moment on the phone. "Oh? They didn''t deceive me after all. That


    surprises me. Understood, continue with the original n. Keep an eye on the remaining hostages."


    The ck-d individual asked, "What should we do with this girl named Fair?"


    "Leave her be, she''s useless," Cloud said and hung up the phone.


    Meanwhile, Anderson kept crawling forward. Although he faintly heard somemotion, he couldn''t


    make out what they were saying. He had agreed with Fair not to talk to each other, so he continued on


    his own in the long period ofsilence. He had memorized the route and believed that Fair was not far


    behind him.


    He crawled and crawled until he reached the end.


    At that point, he saw a downward irondder in front of him. Anderson grabbed the railing and slowly


    descended. He felt a sense of excitement knowing that victory was within reach. With each narrow


    escape, he had be more seasoned.


    As he approached the exit of the venttion duct, Anderson felt puzzled. Fair should have reached the


    irondder by now. She was crawling too slowly.


    Now that he was away from danger, Anderson decided to call out softly.


    "Hey, where are you? You''re too slow. Hurry up."


    "Hey, where are you?"


    "Can you hear me?"


    He called out several times, but no one responded no matter how much he called.


    Anderson became suspicious. Suddenly, he had a bad feeling. Could Fair have crawled in the wrong


    direction? It couldn''t be possible; her math skills were so good. Then, could something have happened


    to her?


    He was startled.


    His intuition told him to go back to the venttion duct. That idiot must have encountered some trouble.


    He needed to save her.


    But at that moment, the SWAT team sent by Luther had arrived at the entrance of the venttion duct.


    One of them leaned in halfway and quickly grabbed hold of Anderson.


    "Great, you''re safe," the SWAT member said, holding Anderson tightly, protecting him.


    Anderson struggled, saying, "There''s another girl, she hasn''te out yet."


    The SWAT member held onto Anderson firmly, preventing him from struggling, and handed him over to


    another SWAT member behind him.


    "You take him back first. Ensure his safety. I''ll wait here for the other little girl," the SWAT member said.


    The other SWAT member understood and quickly took Anderson away.


    Anderson eximed, "No, I want to stay here. I want to wait for her."


    The SWAT member covered Anderson''s mouth. "Don''t make a fuss, kid. It''s dangerous. Don''t attract


    attention from the surroundings. It''s a matter of life and death. Leave it to us here, don''t worry. We''ll


    save her."


    With that, the other SWAT member held Anderson tightly, crouched down, and quietly left the perimeter


    of the activity center, heading towards Luther and Joyce''s location.
