Chapter 1137 Let Down His Guard


    Mark headed into the Beauty Mountain Vi to search for the hostages, while Warren drove Vivi to the


    foot of the mountain where the vi was.


    "What should I do, Sir?" Vivi asked uneasily, fixing her big eyes on the policeman. She was fidgeting


    inside the car, not knowing what exactly she was supposed to do.


    When she had been with Duncan, he was a manager in Tarsan Corporation. But now, he was a


    kidnapper who would do anything for money.


    He was a heartless, dangerous criminal. She was terrified at the thought of going to meet him.


    She even regretted hooking up with him now.


    "Easy, youngdy. Just be yourself and pretend like nothing has happened. Don''t panic. Most


    importantly, don''t mention the kids," Warren instructed patiently as he stopped the car at the foot of the


    mountain.


    "Are you not gonna arrest him now?" Vivi asked hesitantly.


    She hated to risk her life helping the police catch Duncan.


    ''I haven''t even reached the goal I have fought for so long yet.


    I don''t want to die at the hands of a criminal, '' she thought.


    "I will, but not now. You need to get out of the car and distract him first. I will follow you discreetly and


    make my move when his guard is off. If we get out of the car at the same time, he will get suspicious,"


    Warren warned.


    "Will I be in trouble, sir? I am scared," Vivi said, with trepidation written all over her face. After hearing


    Warren''s words, she was even more terrified than before.


    ''What if he fails to get him on time and Duncan takes me as the hostage?


    I have a pretty face. What if he decides to take revenge on me and disfigures my face?


    And if that happens, how am I gonna marry into a wealthy family?'' Terrible thoughts raced in her mind


    and she panicked.


    "You are going to be in grave danger if you don''t get out right now," Warren growled threateningly.


    He was sure that he wouldn''t have any trouble bringing a measly criminal down. He understood that


    Vivi was afraid, but he knew that she would be fine. Duncan trusted her and he could easily cuff him


    while the criminal was being distracted by the girl. He assumed that the kidnapper wouldn''t get any


    chance to hurt her.


    "All right, fine. I am getting out," Vivi said, noticing the displeasure on Warren''s face. ''I haven''t proved to


    the police that I am not Duncan''s aplice yet. It''s not a good idea to bargain with the officer now, ''


    she mused.


    Duncan stood at a distance observing the taxi through his binocrs.

    Vivi got out of the car and walked to the trunk. She opened it and tried to drag the suitcase out. She


    grunted as she tried to lift the case, but it was too heavy for her. After several vain attempts, she


    eventually made it.


    Duncan hadn''t taken his eyes off Vivi ever since she had gotten out of the car. Even though he was


    watching her struggle with the suitcase, he didn''t move from his ce. He stayed far away and


    observed her.


    Warren read Duncan''s mind. ''He is afraid that it might be a trap. He can''t afford to take any risks, '' he


    analyzed.


    But when Vivi had finally managed to get the luggage, he couldn''t wait anymore.


    He left his concerns behind and walked towards her.


    "What took you so long, Vivi?" Duncan asked.


    Vivi saw him approaching, and didn''t bother to close the trunk. Instead, she pretended to be angry and


    said in a sullen tone, "Come here, Duncan. I need your help. It''s too heavy. This stuff is killing me!"


    Vivi pursed her pink lips and oozed a bewitching charm. It was always a temptation that Duncan


    couldn''t resist. Besides, there was a huge sum of money inside that heavy suitcase and it was all his!


    He dropped all his defenses and gave in to his greed.


    "Leave it to me. I did say that we should go to my apartment, but you insisted oning over here."


    Duncan feigned a whine, his mouth twisting in a perceptible smile.


    "I didn''t want to wait inside your apartment. I wanted to know what you were doing at a ce like this.


    What if you were doing something behind my back? I wanted to check on you," Vivi shot back with a


    pout, throwing him a suspicious nce. She looked like an upset married woman whose husband


    hadn''te home the previous night.


    "What did you imagine, that I was sneaking around with another woman in this ce? Don''t forget that


    you are my mistress. I am not seeing anyone except you," Duncan quipped. He stressed the word


    "mistress" on purpose.


    Vivi wasn''t stupid. She knew the implied message behind Duncan''s words. ''He is scoffing at me,


    reminding me that I am just a woman whom he is having an affair with and that I''m not in a position to


    use him of seeing other women.


    After all, even his wife never mes him, '' she thought, basking in anger.


    "Mr. Qiu, you are right. I am just your mistress. Now that you''ve made yourself clear, I am leaving. I will


    look shameless if I continue to be with you." She pretended to hiss at him as she tried to walk back to


    the taxi. She was secretly trying to get him closer to the officer.


    Taking note of the displeased look on her face, Duncan raced forward and grabbed her hand to stop


    her from leaving. "Come on, Vivi, it was just a joke. I came here because I had something to do. I was


    worried that you might think I was seeing another woman. That''s why I agreed to let youe here. I


    hate to be misunderstood by you," he coaxed unconsciously.


    Since Duncan and Vivi had first met, she had always acted this way. But he never got sick of her. He


    loved how she never hid her true emotions.


    She was charming, sensible, and kept him on his toes. He had considered spoiling her his whole life.


    "Let''s go in there. What do you say?" Vivi proposed, as she pointed to the vi. She wanted to divert


    Duncan''s attention, while creating a chance for Warren to catch him.


    "All right, let''s go. I''d never keep anything from you, I promise." Duncan agreed to take her inside


    without any hesitation. With the heavy suitcase in one hand, he took his lover''s hand in the other.


    He felt like the happiest man in the world. He had both, the woman he loved and the money he needed


    to make her happy.


    Although she had left him for a while, he could tell by her behavior that she still cared whether he was


    seeing someone else.


    "You''re so nice to me, Duncan," Vivi confessed with fake sincerity, meeting his eyes. She hoped that


    her fake confession would divert his attention away from the money and lower his guard.


    "You dumped me, Vivi. But if you really want to get back with me, I will ept you and treat you as


    good as before," he said tenderly, as he fixed his eyes on the meek Vivi. Looking at her sincere


    expression, he thought that he had finally gotten his pride back as a man.


    "Duncan, I know I made a wrong decision. I have been thinking about you all these days. You were so


    good to me. As for that man, he doesn''t love me at all. I know you love me with all your heart. If it


    weren''t for that man, I would never have known that you are the only one who truly loves me. I''ve


    realized my mistake. From this moment on, I will always be yours and I will never leave you again," she


    said affectionately.
