Chapter 484 Something Inside
The man in black wanted to bite his tongue and die. Abella raised her hand, and white powder scattered down.
Many people fainted.
When Phillipe's men arrived, the room was in a mess, with more than a dozen people lying around.
Their hoods had been taken off long ago, revealing unfamiliar faces. They had no tattoos or marks on their bodies.
"The rest of you handle it."
Abella knew these people were very stubborn, and it would take a few days to get anything out of them, so she said, "Be careful, don't attract attention."
"Yes, Miss Abella."
The head bodyguard watched Abella leave, took out his phone, and tried to take a picture of her back.
Unexpectedly, Abella noticed and asked, "What are you doing?"
The man trembled in fear. "I-I'm taking it to show Phillipe, to prove that Miss Abella is safe."
Miss Abella's aura was terrifying; even though he had been a bodyguard for many years, he still felt a bit scared.
Winston thought the man was interested in Abella and wanted to take a picture as a keepsake, but it turned out to be Phillipe's idea.
Abella was also speechless, she instructed before leaving. "Handle the scene quickly."
"Yes!" The man blushed, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Winston picked up a bag from the ground, opened it, and found a scarf inside, along with some other personal items.
It should be the bag Nicole's mother mentioned.
There was a car outside to take them to meet Joe.
As soon as Abella got in the car, she asked, "Winston, any discoveries?"
After subduing the group, they discovered coded messages on their phones, including a photo of Abella, suggesting a plan to capture her. The photo was a screenshot from a surveillance camera, and Winston knew that his sister was being targeted by those people, which was very dangerous.
He had tried to decrypt the codes in the room earlier but needed new information.
"After decrypting these codes later, I will try remote tracking to see if we can find any clues," Winston said,
Abella leaned back, exuding a strong, bossy aura. "If all else fails, wait for the next group of people to come; I'll pretend to be hurt and let them take me away."
This way, we could find out where their base was and what kind of organization it was.
We could follow the clues and uncover Nicole's past.
"No, I can't let you take this risk!" Winston immediately rejected the proposal. "If anyone has to go, it will be me!"
"If you go, can you get away?" Abella raised an eyebrow.
Winston knew that these people were not simple, and if it hadn't been for Abella's presence today, he alone would have had a hard time dealing with them.
"In any case, this is not negotiable. I won't cooperate with you, and I won't allow you to take risks." Winston couldn't bear to let Abella take risks alone.
"Winston, I know what I'm doing."
"No! There's no room for negotiation in this matter." Winston thought that with Abella's temperament, even if he disagreed, she would secretly proceed.
"Winston, please hand over the phones of those people to me for safekeeping."
"Do you think I won't tell you after decrypting the codes?"
"Winston will definitely go alone, won't you?"
Winston didn't expect Abella to be so clever.
Her hacking skills were obviously superior to his, and if he handed over all the phones to her for safekeeping, she might decrypt them first and go alone.
"Winston, I feel like there's a lack of trust between us."
Feeling Abella's pressure, Winston could only say, "Okay, I promise you, after decrypting, I'll share the information with you, but you must also promise not to go alone; we must go together."
"Okay."
Let's agree first and then see.
"No lying," Winston emphasized.
"Okay."
With her assurance, Winston's tense heart finally relaxed a bit.
The car stopped in front of a large ranch on the outskirts, with vast grasslands and cows grazing leisurely with their heads down.
In the middle of the ranch was an inconspicuous house where Nicole's parents were sent.
This was a relatively safe place under Phillipe's name, and for the time being, no one would find them there.
When Winston got out of the car, he didn't hold the bag properly, and things fell out of it.
Abella bent down to pick them up and found the necklace a bit strange.
"What's wrong?" Winston looked at her, puzzled.
Abella shook the necklace in her hand again. "There seems to be something inside."
"Something?" Winston took the necklace and saw that it was a red rope necklace with a pendant, plain and simple, as if it was meant for praying for peace in a church. He imitated Abella's actions and shook it, and indeed, he heard a faint sound coming from inside.
It seemed like there was something inside!
They walked towards the house, where Diana was anxiously waiting at the door. When she saw them return safely, she was both relieved and self-reproachful.
"As long as you're okay, that's all that matters."
Seeing that they were unharmed, Diana couldn't help but hug the two children.
Nicole's father increasingly felt that the siblings were extraordinary. In such a dangerous situation just now, they were able to return safely without a scratch, which was not something an ordinary person could do.
"Auntie Diana, this is your bag." Winston handed over the bag.
Diana was overjoyed. "Great, it's not lost; everything is still here."
"And this necklace..." Winston handed over the necklace and reminded, "There seems to be something inside."
"I suggest we open it and take a look," Abella said gently.
What was this?
"This is a necklace Nicole got from the church last year to pray for her father's safety. Later, when the rope broke, he didn't wear it anymore." Diana explained.
At that time last year, Nicole's father was not in good luck, so Nicole went to the church to get this and asked Nicole's father to wear it every day and not take it off.
"Let's open it and see." Nicole's father also shook it, hearing a faint sound coming from inside.
What if there were clues inside?
"How do we open this?" Diana didn't know where to start.
"Let me try." Abella found that this thing was not simple. It even used a locking mechanism, layer by layer. If the sequence was not correct, it couldn't be opened.
In the end, when everyone saw what was inside, there was actually a very small chip!
"How did this get here?" Nicole's father and Diana said in unison, "What is this for?"
Abella also saw a small and delicate chip, slightly larger than a grain of rice, for the first time and temporarily didn't know its purpose.
"Could it be that Nicole has something to tell us through this chip?"
