Peter stood beside the truck and watched as his colleagues got into the truck one by one. In the end, he looked at Mia and said, “Get in, Mia!”
Mia’s eyes were bright and shiny.
This was the first time that the girl, who had always been well-behaved since she was little, was involved in something this exciting. It was an extremely novel experience for her.
However, she couldn’t help but be worried about Pete’s safety. She wanted to say something, yet she didn’t dare to, so she merely nodded and grabbed the cargo bed of the truck. Just as she was about to prop herself up, a big and warm arm suddenly held her around the waist and held her up. With that, Mia got into the truck immediately.
Mia: “!!”
Her cheeks immediately turned as red as a tomato, and she felt as if her heart was pounding faster than usual.
She looked outside…
Just as she was about to speak, she noticed that the doors of the main entrance had opened, and security officers were rushing out of the building. They were about to surround them!
Some even raised their guns and pointed them at the truck’s tires. Once the tires were punctured, they wouldn’t be able to leave!
It was at this point that she saw Peter, who had been holding on to the cargo bed and planning to get in previously, suddenly jumping back down. He promptly shouted, “Go!”
Though Abbott didn’t manage to catch a glimpse of Black Cat, he knew very well that his mission was to pick these people up today. The man immediately started the truck.
When someone fired at the truck, Abbott quickly changed its speed and direction to prevent the bullet from striking the tires.
Those guys didn’t dare to go as far as to take lives—after all, they needed the researchers alive—so they didn’t fire at anyone. Just as more and more bullets were fired and it seemed that they wouldn’t be able to dodge them anymore, a commotion suddenly broke out in the distance where the security officers were!
Abbott immediately slammed his foot down on the gas pedal. The truck went charging out immediately and disappeared after rounding the corner.
When the captain of the security officers saw the truck disappear from his sight, he immediately knew that it was too late.
Despite that, he didn’t panic.
Since he had decided to stay put, it went without saying that he had a plan.
Those guys might be able to escape the research center, but leaving for good? Not so easy!
He looked coldly at the trio who had stayed behind and said derisively, “Playing hero? Don’t overestimate yourselves! Peter Hunt, you must be the one who stole my key, right?”
Peter nodded. “Yup.”
The captain sneered. “I’ll make you pay for that today! And give you a taste of what happens when you don’t behave!”
Then, he took a step back and ordered, “Go, get them! Teach them a good lesson! I want Peter Hunt’s legs broken!”
They certainly couldn’t kill the researchers, but once their legs were broken, it would be even harder for them to escape, no?
As he gave the order, over 20 security officers rushed over and surrounded the trio.
However, Nora was looking at an overland vehicle nearby. They might have missed the truck just now, but look what they had here? Their escape route had just presented itself!
“I’ll hold them here. Which one of you is going to steal the car?”
“I’ll protect you, Mom. Dad can go steal the car.”
Justin: “…”
A grumpy look had already come over his countenance. It wasn’t easy for him to have a chance to team up with his wife. What was that kid butting in for?
He scoffed, “Nothing but an unnecessary move.”
Peter stroked his chin.
He was simply speechless at the tyrant. Did he really have to be so possessive even at a time like this? Never mind, it wasn’t like he had the guts to piss his father off too badly, either. After all, he was still young. Should the tyrant really decide to make things difficult for him, he wouldn’t be able to handle it.
Peter came around to the idea in no time. He said, “Dad, Mom, you guys hold ’em back. I’ll go get the car.”
“Okay.”
Upon seeing the trio still leisurely discussing plans despite being surrounded, the captain was furious. Fools sure were fearless!
Did the three of them really think that he and his team were just your average, run-of-the-mill security officers?
Normal people would never be able to keep those people in the facility.
They were all elites who had been carefully selected!
With a sneer, the captain ordered, “Get them!”
