Chapter 455

The car had been driving for a while, and I stared blankly at the pitch-black night sky, suddenly sensing something amiss in my heart.

Although I didn’t know the exact time, I could feel that the car had been driving for at least an hour. But as I looked outside now, it was still pitch black all around, and I couldn’t even see the shadow of the city. It was obvious that the car was still running in the wilderness.

But I distinctly remembered that Reynaldo’s villa, where I was imprisoned, was less than an hour’s drive from the city. That day, Reynaldo’s people kidnapped me from the airport to the mountain villa, which only took a few minutes, even though there was a bit of traffic on the way. And at that time, the car was basically unimpeded all the way; it was impossible not to see the shadow of the city after almost an hour.

I glanced at Winston, suppressing the unease in my heart.

The man was leaning back in the chair with his eyes closed, his profile no longer had the soft warmth of the past, but had a colder, sterner quality.

“Winston…” I called out to him and asked, “Where are we going now? Aren’t we supposed to meet up with Anton and Vonnie?”

“No hurry.” Winston slowly uttered those two words and smiled at me, “You’ll see when we get there.”

Seeing his appearance, I became more and more uneasy. I couldn’t help but start to doubt whether I had been too impulsive in deciding to go with him just now. The car was still running in the wilderness, and the windows were filled with the urgent cold wind, like the wailing of ghosts and wolves in the dark night.

I twisted my hands nervously, feeling the tension in my nerves. I didn’t know how long the car had been running, but finally I could see some lights in the distance. It was like a small town, with lights gathered in a not very large area, and those lights were distributed somewhat sparsely.

I licked my lips and looked at Winston again. The man still leaned back in the chair with his eyes closed, looking calm and composed. I suppressed the uneasiness and speculation in my heart, waiting in silence. I had no grudges with Winston, and we had some past connections. No matter what, he shouldn’t harm me.

There were also Anton and Vonnie, especially Vonnie; she was my most trusted best friend. No matter what, she would never harm me.

And I waited to see where he would take me. The car drove through the streets of the small town, and I saw many people drinking and playing games at the roadside food stalls. It was very lively. After passing through the brief bustle, it was once again a quiet wilderness.

I waited nervously and anxiously, and finally the car stopped. I looked around anxiously. By the light of the car headlights, I saw a deserted warehouse next to me, about two stories high. Next to it was an abandoned factory building and dormitory. At first glance, it was desolate and deserted.

I looked at Winston puzzled and asked, “What are we doing here? Where are Anton and Vonnie?”

Winston slowly opened his eyes and turned to look at me, then suddenly smiled. That smile, how to say it, was unabashedly tinged with a hint of coldness, a hint of hatred, and a hint of sarcasm.

I frowned heavily, feeling a sense of unease. I quickly pushed open the car door next to me and got out.
