Chapter 374 Mission Complete
"Albert, go bring William here,” Noah ordered without raising his head.
Albert was hesitant initially, but he did not dare to disobey Noah.
Hearing that, the middle-aged man was excited.
Nonetheless, Noah was getting impatient. He excused himself and went to the washroom.
The middle-aged man did not stop Noah. He even asked the waiter to show Noah the way.
As soon as Noah entered the washroom, he dashed to the last cubicle and found the Smiths couple. Their hands and legs were tied.
Immediately, Noah frowned. He ignored them and dialed Madeline’s number.
“My dear wife, how could you leave your husband alone?”
“You’re not a kid. Why do you keep calling me?” Madeline was searching for the bombs. She was not happy when Noah suddenly called her and interrupted her search.
“I miss you…” Noah ripped the masking tape off the Smiths couple’s mouths and made a silent gesture.
Paolo wanted to shout for help. However, Noah took out a gun and twirled it around his index finger. He then pointed the muzzle directly at Paolo’s head.
Paolo was shocked. He did not even dare to move an inch.
“Concentrate on your work. The kids are at home. I won’t forgive you if anything happens.”
Madeline knew Noah was planning something behind her back and did not want to involve her. He deliberately let the kids keep her in the base and even asked Mackenzie to give her a sedative shot.
Noah was concerned about Madeline’s safety. For that reason, Madeline was not angry at him. She called Albert and knew the restaurant’s location before slipping out of the base from another door.
Although Madeline was worried that Trenton would find the kids at the base and hold them as hostages, she could not hesitate not to leave the base at that time. Noah and Albert were in danger.
The restaurant was guarded by Trenton’s men. Madeline knew she would be caught if she left just like that. She had no choice but to stay in the restaurant. She had to complete the mission before going back to her kids. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Noah assured Madeline that he had everything set up, and Trenton could never break into the base. She felt relieved hearing that.
Madeline knocked a waitress out in the washroom. She then wore her clothes and put on some makeup. She even wore a pair of colorful contact lenses. Nobody could recognize her.
In fact, Madeline had scanned the restaurant just now. It seemed that Trenton’s men were temporarily recruited. No one would recognize her if she dressed up like a waitress.
Trenton must have planted the bombs somewhere in the restaurant to kill them all. Madeline had to find them before she ran out of time.
However, the restaurant was big. Moreover, there were many customers during lunch time. Madeline had a hard time moving in between Trenton’s men and the real customers.
"Who are you? Why did you kidnap us?" Paolo asked. He was horrified. Since he lost the election and was involved in human trafficking cases, he had met a lot of strange encounters.
Nonetheless, he had never been kidnapped before. It was the first time he felt life-threatening.
“The person who kidnapped you is not me. It’s Trenton. He lured you and me here and wants to blow up this place to kill us all. He will then put the blame on your enemies so that they won’t give him trouble!” Noah explained.
Paolo knew who Trenton was after what happened last time. He believed Noah’s words as Trenton was indeed someone like that.
Nonetheless, Paolo had no idea why Noah wanted to save them by kidnapping them.
"What do you want?" Paolo’s wife, Winnie Rossi asked.
“All the results and findings in Trenton’s biological lab!” Noah got straight to the point. He did not want to waste time beating around the bush.
“What?” Paolo was stunned. He could not help but widen his eyes. He spent more than ten years working on experiments and tests in the lab. How could he give all of them to Noah?
“Well, looks like both of you think the lab results and findings are more precious than your life!” Noah did not want to argue. He bent down to retrieve the masking tape from the ground.
Winnie was horrified. Noah seemed not easy to deal with. Immediately, she gave in. “Okay, okay. We will give them all to you.”
“Are you crazy? Do you know how much money our lab findings are? It’s a huge fortune producing vaccines after the pandemic. We’ll lose everything if we give him all the results!” Paolo exclaimed.
Hearing that, Noah made a silent gesture again.
Paolo avoided Noah’s gaze. Although Noah was smiling, he looked somehow frightening.
“I don’t care! Money is not important to me. You can stay here but I’m leaving.” Winnie scowled. She had to make a rational decision in a situation like this.
“I’ll give you five seconds to think it over.” With that, Noah looked at the timer on his phone.
Time was ticking away. Paolo and Winnie were sweating profusely.
It was not until the last second that they finally gave in. In the end, they had no choice but to tell Noah where they stored their findings in the lab.
Noah and Madeline found a lot of drugs in Trenton’s lab before. However, they could not find Madeline’s special remedy. With that, they knew Paolo must have stored his findings somewhere else.
Noah asked his men to go to Trenton’s lab. It was not until they found Paolo’s findings that Noah released Paolo and Winnie.
“Trenton’s men are all over the place. You guys can only climb down from here. Someone will pick you up downstairs.”
Paolo took a look outside the window. Luckily, they were only on the fifth floor.
After seeing Paolo and Winnie climbing down the window, Noah called Madeline straightaway.
“Mission complete.”
“I also found the bombs. One is in the middle of the restaurant and another one is attached to a middle- aged woman with a daughter.”
“Bring them to a safe place.”
“I can’t. Someone is watching them. Moreover, the bomb is hidden inside the belt. I don’t think the woman knows there are explosives inside. Damn it. They knew we wouldn't harm civilians.” At the thought of it, Madeline was mad.
Hearing that, Noah frowned.
“They are going to the washroom, and a waiter is following them. Be careful,” Madeline said and hurriedly followed them.
