Chapter 796 Someone Is Here
"Let's go! They're still looking for her. For now, they can't trace us. However, Jara is a smart person. If he couldn't salvage her after a while, he would definitely guess that someone had taken her away. When he caught up to us and we are no match for him."
Someone reminded him.
Another person said, "Yes, we have spent so much effort and sacrificed a person to get this woman out. We must not let him take her away again. Come on, quick. In another two hours, we will make it over this mountain and reach our destination. When we get there, someone will come to rescue us."
With that, the rest of them walked faster.
At the same time, someone asked doubtfully, "I wonder what secrets does this woman holds that our boss wants her so badly!"
Another person said, "Who knows? We'd better not ask or care about it. But since she is quite good-looking, perhaps she is boss' lover?"
Someone sneered, "His lover? Someone who was hit by a car, and was now half-alive? What are you thinking about?"
Then, one of them added, "You're right. In my opinion, this woman is likely involved in some sort of interest. Isn't she Jara's woman? Our boss and Jara are sworn enemies. With his woman in hand, wouldn't he be at the mercy of our boss?"
When talked about this, they couldn't help but laugh.
It was a sunny afternoon. Due to the dense trees on the mountain, the wind could not blow in, which made the weather even more sultry.
After climbing for a while, they were already out of breath and sweating profusely. One of them stopped and said, "I can't... I'm too tired. Someone else has to carry her."
When the other person saw this, he walked over and bent down, then said, "Let me replace you. You can replace you when I'm tired."
"Okay."
As the man said that, he put Emmeline down and placed her onto his partner's back.
The man carried Emmeline on his back, and the group of people continued to move forward.
However, they did not notice that just as they were silently walking forward, Emmeline's fingers moved a little, and her eyelashes flickered as well.
Yes, there was no mistake. Emmeline had woken up.
Although she was in so much pain that she was on the verge of collapsing and her head was about to explode, she was still awake. Other than that, she tried her best to keep herself awake and stop herself from fainting.
A moment ago, Emmeline had overheard the conversation between them.
She didn't know who was the person who hit her with the car today. But according to what they said just now, it turned out that it had something to do with Jara?
Jara's enemy?
Thinking about it, it was an irony. When she was with him in the past, she couldn't escape from these things. Now that she had left him, she still couldn't escape from these things.
Was it really meant to be?
At that moment, Emmeline's heart was full of mixed feelings.
When she recalled the scene when the car crashed into her just now, and the scene where Keira had been sent flying in the air only because she wanted to save her, tears started to well up in her eyes uncontrollably. It was unknown if Keira was still alive. At the thought of that, her heart clenched tightly.
"Keira, please be alright. You must survive!"
"You have so many unfulfilled dreams. Your fashion brand has yet to be established, and you have yet to become a world-famous designer. You are not allowed to die!"
She thought to herself, and at the same time, she had her eyes closed as if she hadn't woken up.
Just then, there was a sudden movement in the forest.
It was a very subtle sound.
It sounded like the rustling of the wind blowing on the leaves. However, in such a hot and humid weather, along with the dense trees in the mountain, it was impossible for the wind to penetrate. Where did the wind come from?
The gangsters seemed to have noticed this slight movement, and they were all stunned and stopped subconsciously.
"What's the sound?"
Someone asked in a low voice.
The person next to him frowned, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in the depths of his eyes, but he still tried to appease his companion. "It might be the wind. Don't get too anxious. We'll arrive at our destination after crossing this mountain. Let's walk faster."
When the others heard this, they nodded in agreement. Then they carried Emmeline and quickened their pace, ascending up to the top of the mountain.
At this moment, Emmeline had clearly heard a burst of rapid footsteps.
Her hearing was always good. When she was a child, Granpa Farrington had discovered her extraordinary talent. He also gave her a nickname—Gust.
When others heard this noise, they only felt that it was the rustling of the wind blowing on the leaves.
But she could clearly tell it was the sound of footsteps rapidly stepping on the fallen leaves on the ground. It was a little similar to the sound of the wind, but it was obviously different.
If it weren't for someone who had a good understanding of sound or a good hearing, it was hard to tell the minute differences.
Who was it?
Emmeline had no clue. In fact, she had no idea that Jara had someone following her all this while, and as for the tracker devices on her belongings, she had no idea of that as well.
Therefore, at this moment, she knew that there must be someone nearby.
Listening to the orderly and rapid footsteps, it was likely that they were a group of well-trained personnel and not some ordinary people.
However, she also couldn't feel happy at all.
Currently, she was injured all over, which had greatly reduced her fighting capacity. At that moment, she couldn't even fight with the few people around her. If there were a group of people, she was even more powerless.
With the thought in mind, a heavy sense of uneasiness flashed across Emmeline's heart.
Suddenly, there was a whoosh.
A bullet penetrated through the forest and hit a person who was at the back in an instant.
As the man fell to the ground, the rest of the group had a change of expression when they saw this. Shocked, they stopped immediately and glanced around the woods defensively.
Out of nowhere, someone rushed out.
Perhaps it was because the people on this had no weapons, so the other party stopped firing. However, they moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, everyone was already tied up.
On the other hand, the man who carried Emmeline did not join the fight because he had to guard her.
But when he saw that his companions fell one by one, he had to do something. Realizing that this group of people were likely to come for Emmeline, he made up his mind and was ready to escape with her on his back.
The top of the mountain was just less than five hundred meters away.
As long as he ran up, the helicopter would be waiting there, and this group of people could do nothing about it.
If he completed the mission, although he had sacrificed some of his companions, it would be a success.
With the thought in mind, he began to walk faster.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Emmeline, who had been lying on his back unconscious, suddenly opened her eyes. Then, he felt a pain in his neck, as a dagger pierced through the weak spot of his neck.
