1361 Panic! 1

Her gloomy voice contained a hint of stifled uncertainty as her fingers that interlocked tightly revealed her uneasiness.

Glenn nodded. He slowly gathered himself and said softly, “Yes, Li Si brought people over and personally found them. Our people were one step too late. They didn’t want to fight with them, so they left.”

“Useless!” Doris clenched her fists tightly and slammed the table as she said coldly, “How do they do things? They can’t even get this little thing right and they keep making mistakes! All of them are a useless bunch!”

“Miss, don’t be angry. Let’s not panic first. Right now, Gu Qiwu’s detained at the police station. This whole thing has already lost its initial intention. We don’t have to bother with that anymore. As long as we handle the rest cleanly, they can’t do anything to us,” Glenn said with a lowered voice.

However, before he could finish, Doris replied coldly, “Panic? Do you think there’s still a chance to fix all of this now? I know Mu Yuchen. He won’t just let things go so easily. He’ll definitely grab this chance. I know him too well. He may look harmless, but…why else do you think Gu Qiwu would be so willing to collaborate with him?”

Doris’s fears were not baseless.

Glenn’s heart sank now.

She sighed, and then said, “It would’ve been fine if he made any move, but right now, he seems to just be watching from afar. That’s what makes me feel threatened.”

“Miss, you’re right. I’ll pay closer attention,” Glenn’s voice sank slightly as he said humbly.

Doris frowned, and then took the cigarette box from the table in frustration. She took a stick out to light, then took a nonchalant drag before leaning back against the sofa. She thought about it for a moment, then continued to say, “Let’s settle this as soon as possible. We’ll leave this place right away.”

Doris felt even more anxious, and now that she could sense danger, she could not care less. She needed to be alert and make backup plans.

“I’ve already gotten them to handle the smaller things, so don’t worry, Miss. We’ll leave this place the day after tomorrow at the latest. As long as we can return to England, we can find a scapegoat for anything that goes wrong here.” Glenn was experienced at handling such matters, and he could execute many things well. This was the reason why Doris trusted him so much.

“Mmm, it’s good if you can handle it. When we get back over there, there’ll probably be an even bigger battle waiting for me to fight. If I haven’t underestimated Mu Yuchen this time, Alex might be back in England by now. We were too anxious that we miscalculated!”

Doris could not help but regret it a little now. She thought that everything would go as planned, but she did not expect Mu Yuchen to still be one step ahead!

Everything unfortunate began when she had the miscarriage…

Even so, when did Mu Yuchen find out about that?

Could it be…?

Doris now realized that Mu Yuchen had probably been watching her for a long time and already suspected her!

When she realized that, her chest could not help but tremble. She suddenly found it hard to breathe. Sucking in a few deep inhalations, she then quickly took her phone from the table as she wanted to call the person in New York right now.

Unexpectedly, the phone seemed to have telepathic abilities as it suddenly buzzed.

Doris took a look at the name that popped up on the screen, then immediately picked it up. She quickly said, “Hello? Alex?”

“Miss Doris, it’s Airo. I have bad news, Mr. Alex has just been arrested by the American police. They have evidence of all of the things we’ve done. I’m afraid Mr. Alex is in huge trouble this time. He told you to take good care of yourself…” A depressed voice came from the other end of the phone.

Doris did not finish listening to the voice, and her mind just flashed with one thought—Alex had been arrested!

Her mind went blank for a bit. It just went empty as her expression changed and she fell limp.

“Miss! Miss! What’s wrong?”

When he saw Doris go limp, as well as the way her face suddenly turned pale, Glenn was shocked. He quickly went up to hold her, and she managed to sit up.

“Miss, what’s wrong?” he asked uneasily.

Doris’s blue eyes were slightly dazed as she held onto Glenn’s arm tightly. “It’s him! Mu Yuchen, it must be him! He’s known about me and Alex for a while now! That’s why he’s doing this! What a great, great evil move!”

“Miss, what do you mean..?”

“Alex was arrested! What do you think it means? It turns out that all of the news about how Zhou Zimo was still detained inside was fake! They’ve been thinking of how to trap us right from the start! That’s why Mu Yuchen suddenly came home, and we thought…”

Doris felt helpless. She was tired from all the worrying…

Her fingers combed through her messy hair, and she felt as if she had instantly aged by more than 10 years.

“How could that be? How’s that possible?” Glenn did not want to believe it either. His eyes widened as he looked at Doris. “Is the news true? Didn’t Mr. Alex said it was all good? He wouldn’t be joking around with us, would he?”

Upon hearing that, darkness flitted across Doris’s pale face. She quickly called another number to verify matters.

However, the person on the other end did not relieve her worries…

Bam—

Before the person could finish speaking, Doris’s phone had already fallen to the ground and she was in a daze.

Upon seeing that, Glenn felt suddenly worried now! By the looks of things now, it was actually already very obvious.

Mu Yuchen had done things behind them. He had set up a trap and let them jump into it willingly. After that, they just watched things unfold while he seized the chance to cut off all her escape routes: Gu Qiwu, Qi Qiming, and now Alex too…

When Doris thought about that, she could not help but be scared.

There was a reason why Mu Yuchen had been carefully scheming to go after her. When she thought about how Glenn mentioned the boss from the car repair factory, the answer that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time finally broke through the lock and surged right out!

It was the incident from six years ago!

He must be doing this because of what happened six years ago!

When she thought this, her expression worsened!

In the midst of her panic, she quickly got up and held Glenn’s arm a little anxiously before she said worriedly, “Quick, Glenn, contact the flight companies right away. We’re leaving tonight right away! Right away! We have to leave now! Any later and we won’t make it!”
