My Mommy Is A CEO

Knowing that he couldn’t escape his fate, Max reluctantly agreed. After Arthur told him what to do, he followed him to the vicinity of the small building and walked shakily towards it under the watchful eyes of the ambushers.

As Max moved forward, Nick and Victor led their men quietly behind him. The dense palm grove provided cover for the small building and also served as an excellent hiding place for them.

When they arrived at the front of the small building, Max hesitated and glanced at the nearby palm grove. Just as he was still hesitant, one of the guards on the first floor had already spotted him.

One guard had seen someone walking towards their building through a window earlier. He called out to his colleagues to greet him but did not expect to see someone who was covered in injuries. His guard was naturally not so strong anymore.

Walking down from stairs, the guard shouted three meters away from Max, “Who are you?! What are you doing here?”

“I…” At this point, Max had no choice but to speak up since he was backed into a corner. He raised his smiling face but did not expect that it would cause pain in his wounds immediately.

“Speak up!” The guard became impatient.

“Don’t hurt me,” said Max quickly while enduring pain, “I came here near fishing area but got lost because this place is too remote. I even fell off a cliff and can’t find my phone now. I’m all injured now. Can you help me?”

“Go away! We’re not charity workers. Go find someone else!” The guard ruthlessly drove away Max.

“Don’t,” pleaded Max, “This place is so remote. Where else can I find help? If you don’t want to help me, then I’ll really die here… How about this? There’s cash in my car which I brought with me originally intending on buying fishing gear with it – if you guys help me out, then all that money will be yours!”

“You have a car yet still ask us for help?” The guard doubted him suspiciously.

“Guy,” said Max showing them his half-limp right foot pitifully, “Do you think I could drive like this?”

Seeing that Max’s foot was indeed injured, several guards whispered among themselves. Some agreed with taking money to save him while others dared not neglect their duties. After they discussed back-and-forth, greed finally won out.

“How much money do you have? There are seven people here.” Asked one arrogant-looking security personnel.

“Fifty thousand yuan, originally intended for buying fishing gear.” said Max.

“As long as you are willing to lend me hands, I’ll take everything!”

Fifty thousand! This was already a considerable amount for the guards. Anyway, Jacob was resting now and there were still bodyguards guarding inside the house. It won’t take them much time to go to the car and get the money. After discussing it, one by one, the guards showed a smile on their faces and walked towards Max.

One meter, two meters, three meters. Seeing that the guards had already moved away from the gate, Nick made a quick decision and signaled with a raised hand to lead his bodyguards out. They surrounded seven guards from behind, leaving them helpless as they were unable to even shout before being subdued with a single blow.

Max was stunned as he watched. He had thought that the foreign men who followed Arthur were surely skilled, but he never expected them to move so quickly. Before he knew it, the guards had been taken care of and not even a hair on his head was harmed.

Nick gave Max a signal with his eyes, and then he and the bodyguards dragged the guard into the palm grove before continuing to lurk.

Max saw that the mission was completed. Although he was injured, he quickly withdrew from Arthur’s location and without hesitation, followed their example and lay down.

“The guards have been taken care of,” Max said with a hint of pride in his tone, as if he had been the one leading the successful ambush just now.

“You go back to the car. Don’t worry about anything else,” Arthur waved his hand and instructed a bodyguard to take Max back to the car, then ordered everyone to start moving towards the small building.

With each step closer to the small building, Arthur’s heartbeat quickened.

Lucia, I’m here!

Nick and his team were mercenaries, and Arthur’s group of bodyguards were all professionals. Even though they had already infiltrated the small building, no one noticed their presence. They gathered at the stairwell, and Jack gestured for everyone to be in attack mode. When they went up, they must take down Jacob with a single strike!

Everyone took out their weapons and looked solemnly at Jack’s instructions. At this moment, Dan standing next to Arthur whispered a sentence,

“I’ll go in with you later,” he said, walking ahead.

As Arthur glanced back at him, he saw the determination in Nick’s eyes and no sign of refusal. Just as everyone was discussing their plan, unexpectedly, a bodyguard from upstairs walked down, catching both sides’ attention. Before the bodyguard could utter a word, a tranquilizer dart had already hit his neck. He twitched twice and then collapsed to the ground. Victor retrieved the gun.

The sound of the bodyguard falling to the ground was loud, and Arthur acted decisively, “Charge!” They couldn’t give Jacob a chance to react!

In times of danger, people’s instincts become exceptionally sharp. Arthur furrowed his brow and thought for a moment before saying, “Let’s start searching. Check every room! Dan, Jack, and Victor come with me to the third floor!” With that said, he led the group up to the third floor and walked down the hallway. Each room was tightly closed. Dan, Jack, and Victor skillfully opened each door to check for Jacob and Lucia but found no trace of them. They had now arrived at the last room.

“Lucia must be in there!” Arthur said with certainty.

“I’ll go first!” Dan volunteered without hesitation. Victor and Jack looked at him deeply as they all knew that being the first one in was always dangerous…

Dan didn’t make a big deal out of it. He reached out his hand to touch the handle gently and turned it open. A surprise attack required an element of surprise. Since the door was unlocked, Dan signaled Arthur with his eyes before they all pushed open the door with their guns raised high as they rushed inside.

However, when they entered into this empty room, which had an open window where curtains danced freely in a cool breeze, everyone froze.

Jack frowned slightly before quickly rushing into bathroom area but emerged looking disappointed; he shook his head at Arthur.

Arthur clenched his back teeth and walked a few steps to the window to check. The window was located on the right side of the building, and there was a ladder hanging from the wall. Jacob must have escaped from here!Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Arthur immediately looked up, and the height of the third floor gave him enough visibility. Amidst the faint palm trees, he vaguely saw several figures!

“He ran east! Let’s chase after him!” Without any hesitation whatsoever this time around, Arthur turned around then ran straight towards outside door!
