Chapter 765


    Mark fell onto the ground. His cell phone rang again, showing the same caller number as before.


    With trembling fingers, he tried to press the reject button but identally answered it instead.


    A vicious voice sounded from the other end of the phone.


    He said, "Mark, how dare you try to bluff me? I won''t let you get away with this!"


    He quickly threw away his phone and turned to run outside. Eudora came after him, saying, "Stop!


    Where''s Amos? Keep your promise. We won, so return Amos to me!"


    Mark red coldly at her and said, "Amos? Sure! I''ll return him to you."


    He turned to look at the assistant right behind him, asking, "Tell us, where is Amos?"


    Joe quickly replied, "He is in the basement of the Valiant East Group..."


    Clint was startled. He asked, "How could that be? Since when did someone enter the basement?"


    Joe showed him footage from the surveince camera. Mark exined, "Don''t you understand? We


    slipped him in when none of you were paying attention. The most dangerous ce is the safest of all..."


    Then, Mark suddenly chuckled.


    He continued, "But, let me tell you. There''s a bomb in there exploding in 15 minutes. Boom!"


    As soon as he finished, he turned and ran outside.


    Harley quickly went after him. Out of nowhere, Mark pulled out a gun and aimed a shot at Harley''s


    shoulder.


    Harley grunted in pain but continued rushing forward and held Mark down.


    Once Eudora got into her car, she sped towards herpany like a lunatic.


    In the meantime, Clint was also frantically making a phone call back to thepany.


    He did not dare to tell them that a bomb was in the basement. Otherwise, no one would hurry to Amos''


    rescue. His only instruction was for the supervisor to arrange for everyone to take a break and clear out


    the building within half an hour.


    He also asked the supervisor to check and see if anyone was in the basement,


    However, the supervisor quickly replied that there was not anyone in there.


    More than ten minutes had already passed, so Clint did not dare to ask for another search attempt and


    told the supervisor to leave the building immediately.


    Hearing this, Eudora sped up the car even more.


    Soon, the traffic police were after her, yelling for her to stop the car.


    However, she couldn''t care less. The only thought upying her mind right now was to save Amos.


    After another ten minutes, the car finally halted in front of the Valiant East Group''s entrance.


    At the same time, the bomb disposal experts, arranged by Harley, also arrived. They were only waiting


    to defuse the bomb after it was found.


    However, where was the bomb?


    Everyone rushed towards the basement. Suddenly, Eudora stopped in her tracks.


    Clint hurriedly asked, "Madam, did you think of something?"


    Eudora nodded.


    She mumbled, "Remember what Mark said?


    The most dangerous ce is the safest of all!" "Of course, I remember! That''s why he locked up


    President Granger in the basement," he replied.


    "No!" Eudora shook her head and continued, "He said that there was half an hour before the bomb


    blows up, but at that time ourpany was still full of people. Usually, there are a lot of people going in


    and out of the underground parking lot. If Amos really was in the basement, we definitely would''ve


    been able to resolve this crisis within half an hour, and Mark''s n would have beenpletely in vain!


    He had been plotting this for so long. Surely, he wouldn''t be so stupid!"


    "So...you mean to say that President Granger is definitely not in the basement?" asked Clint.


    Eudora nodded and said, "Perhaps we should think in the opposite direction."


    As soon as she had finished her sentence, something clicked in Clint''s mind. They shared a nce and


    eximed together, "The top floor!"


    The highest floor of the Valiant East Group building was the administrative centre of thepany.


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    Amos''s office and everything valuable to the Valiant East Group were there. Very few people were


    allowed to go up, and they were all basically those of leadership positions.


    Especially after something had happened to Amos, even fewer people went up.


    That would have been an excellent ce to hide someone!


    Eudora and Clint did not dare to hesitate any longer, quickly scrambling onto the elevator.


    He took a look at his watch. There were only four minutes left before the expected explosion.


    "Madam, I''ll go up alone. Go out with the rest of the people and wait for me outside. Trust me, I''ll


    definitely bring President Granger back!" said Clint.


    Eudora knew that he did not want her to put herself in danger.


    However, the person who was waiting to be rescued upstairs was none other than her own husband.


    "Clint..." Eudora suddenly said. As he raised his head, he watched as she pushed him out of the


    elevator.


    The doors of the elevator closed quickly. She took a deep breath and stared at the ascending floor


    numbers.


    Five, ten, fifteen...


    "Ding!" The doors opened, and Eudora sprinted out of the elevator.


    "Amos!" Eudora yelled out for him.


    "No one is in the office!" she thought to herself. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a slight


    noiseing from somewhere. It sounded as though it wasing from the next room!


    Eudora hurried over there, but it was an elevator shaft next door; she had juste up from there.


    "Could it be that he''s somewhere I didn''t notice?" thought Eudora. When she was about to go into the


    elevator, she suddenly remembered what Amos had once told her.


    Old Master Granger had always prioritized the issue of security and privacy and that led every leader in


    the Granger family to build apartment in their office.


    Previously, Kesha had been to thepartment in Amos'' office in Greene City.


    It was what Amos had told her.


    That meant...


    She hurriedly ran back and took another look around the office, calling out, "Amos?"


    This time, there was no sound. Eudora had a gut feeling that something was out of ce. She nced


    around and finally fixed her eyes on a drawing on the wall. As Amos had not been here recently, she


    also did note to the office as much.


    Therefore, the cleaners had not cleaned this ce in a long time.


    Upon closer inspection at the edges of the frame of the drawing, Eudora noticed a trace of dust being


    smudged away by a finger.


    She quickly brought down the drawing and, sure enough, she found a locked partition. Its original


    keyhole seemed to have been destroyed.


    This must be the reason for Amos not getting out.


    Mark had used his own key to lock this ce. Immediately, she went to look for tools. Thankfully, she


    was very familiar with theyout of things here. After a while, the hammer was in ce, and she started


    hacking away at the lock with everything she had.


    She mustered up all her strength, but it still fell short by just that little bit.


    There were only two minutes left till the expected time of explosion.


    Her heart kept pounding, until Wesley ran in from behind her without notice.


    "Madam, give it to me. I''ll do it," he said.


    She didn''t have time to hesitate. After all, Wesley was a man, and his strength was definitely much


    bigger than hers. Hence, she handed the hammer over to him.


    "Move back!" he shouted. Then, he brandished the hammer and smashed down on the lock with all his


    might.


    Three hitster, the lock fell to the ground. She opened the door and saw a familiar figure standing


    there.


    He had lost a lot of weight. The even scarier part was that he had numerous scars on his body. Mark


    had definitely tortured him a lot!


    Her eyes reddened. "Hubby..."
