All Her Secrets

Chapter 888 Ronin Was Freed

Hearing Zobber calling out, Catherine immediately put down what she was doing and walked in her direction.

Zobber pulled up the location track and turned it into a route map, showing it to Catherine. “Catherine, Ronin left Styre University an hour ago and passed these points but disappeared here.”

Zobber immediately checked out the surroundings, and Catherine noticed the well-known dessert shop at first glance.

“Should be here.” She pointed to the bottom left corner of the screen.

Zobber suddenly understood what Catherine meant. “Damn! Catherine, Ronin must have disappeared right after buying dessert for you.”

“Yep!” Catherine nodded. It seemed this was the current situation. “I’ll go take a look!”

Catherine got up and left. Zobber quickly caught up. “Catherine, I’ll go with you!”

Withal wanted to move forward but was held back by Zobber.

“You stay at home. Wantells is not here. We need someone to help us operate the computer and keep in touch at all times,” said Zobber.

Hearing this, Withal stopped what he was doing. He understood what Zobber was saying.

They indeed need someone to sit at the computer, control the satellite, do surveillance, and track.

“Alright, take care, and contact me anytime if you need anything,” answered Withal.

Zobber was responsible for driving while Catherine was sitting in the passenger seat.

A few minutes later, the two arrived at the dessert shop.

It was not far from here to where Zobber lived. Even if they walked, it would take, at most, half an hour for Ronin to get to Zobber’s place.

Zobber originally wanted to go into the shop to check the surveillance footage, but then she noticed that Catherine was staring at the alley in front.

She was a bit confused and walked up to Catherine. “Catherine, what are you looking at?”

Catherine looked ahead with a cold gaze and muttered, “If I were Ronin, when I noticed someone was following me, I would definitely choose this place to wait for the opportunity to find the person.”

Zobber was analyzing what Catherine said, but then she realized that Catherine already walked straight ahead.

She quickly caught up, and they kept moving forward toward the back alley.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The back alley was kind of remote and dark. The further you went, the worse the environment got, and there was a strong, sour smell lingering in the air.

Zobber couldn’t help but feel a bit nauseous. She turned her head to observe Catherine, only to see that Catherine was composed, with no reaction at all. Zobber admired her even more.

She originally wanted to persuade Catherine to give up and go back directly. But when she saw Catherine’s behavior, she silently swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Catherine had been paying attention to the surroundings. Suddenly, she spotted something unusual in the pile of miscellaneous items.

She quickly rushed forward and soon found the unconscious Lu Fei.

Originally, she had planned to take him back directly, but then it seemed like she had thought of something. She stopped and called out to Zobber behind her, “Come over here. Give me a hand.”

Zobber quickly responded. They worked together to drag Ronin out from the pile of debris and move him to the empty space on the side.

“Catherine, what’s going on with Ronin?” asked Zobber.

She was just pulling on Ronin like that, but he didn’t even react. If it weren’t for his heart still beating and his body warm, Zobber would have thought he was dead.

Catherine turned Ronin’s neck and pointed to the barely visible small needle mark. “Looks like someone gave him a shot. Let’s get him back first and have Connie take a check.”

“Okay!” answered Zobber.

Finishing, they helped Ronin into the car.

There had been someone watching all this in the dark, waiting for Catherine and them to leave for good. Only then did Finn dare to come out from the corner with his people, and his subordinates all felt puzzled.

Only then did Finn dare to come out from the corner with his people, and his subordinates all felt puzzled. “Finn, we finally managed to subdue this little punk Ronin. Are we just letting him go like this? They are just two women. Is it necessary?”

Finn turned back and shot an angry look at the lackey, who never knew when to shut up. He sneered in disdain and said, “Just two women? Do you think they’re insignificant? Even without the tall one, Catherine, just Zobber alone is enough to kill you on the spot. If Catherine makes a move, even the boss will have to be careful.”

Hearing Finn’s explanation, a few of the lackeys were scared white.

Their boss was already a terrifyingly invincible presence in their eyes.

They didn’t expect this woman to make the boss so afraid. ‘If we offend her, wouldn’t we…’ they wondered in fear.

Finn didn’t want to waste time here with the lackeys, so he reported the situation to the boss.

After receiving the instructions, they quickly cleaned up the scene and disappeared without a trace.

Withal had been waiting at the apartment building for ages. As soon as the car appeared, he went straight up to it.

He was so strong that he easily lifted Ronin and carried him upstairs.

They went back into the room, and Connie took over Ronin.

The others couldn’t help, so they were just waiting in the living room outside.

Half an hour later, Connie came out, and behind her was a not-so-well Ronin.

“Are you okay?” Zobber asked with concern.

Ronin’s lips twitched awkwardly, and he forced a smile, “It’s okay. The drugs haven’t completely worn off yet. I’m still feeling a bit dizzy.”

Catherine stared at him. Seeing that he was still in good shape, the fierceness in her eyes gradually faded away.’

What’s going on?”

Hearing Catherine’s question, Ronin shook his head helplessly. “I don’t know either, but when I realized someone was following me, I just wanted to hide in the alley. If the strength is not much different, I’ll kill them, but if the strength gap is too big, I can hide in the alley. However, they seemed to have guessed my thoughts. They were already lurking in the alley, and after I went in, a needle stabbed my neck. I blacked out and woke up here.”

Listening to Ronin’s bizarre remarks, Zobber couldn’t help but look him up and down. “So they didn’t do anything else other than just giving you a shot and knocking you out?”

Ronin gave her a stare. “What else do you want them to do to me? Plus, I passed out. How would I know anything?”

Seeing him getting angry, Zobber smiled brightly and apologized.

Actually, Ronin was also confused.’ Finn clearly said it was the boss’s order to take me back. How come they suddenly let me go again?’

“Come with me!” With that, Catherine got up and walked toward the small room, with Ronin obediently following behind.

Seeing this, Zobber curiously leaned toward Withal, who was standing aside. “Is Catherine trying to help Ronin secretly? What’s the secret that they’re keeping from us? And why won’t they let us know?”

Withal rolled his eyes and said bluntly, “If you want to be interrogated by Catherine alone, then knock on her door yourself! It seems you’ve been living it up too carefree lately and are asking for trouble.”

Zobber had seen Catherine interrogate people before, and her methods were no joke.

There were no bloody scenes, and she didn’t beat on them like everyone else did.

But her methods could make people feel scared to the point of being powerless. They could hit you right in the soul, leaving a shadow that would last a lifetime.

Thinking about it gave Zobber the heebie-jeebies, making her hair stand on end. She couldn’t help but shake her head. “Forget it. I’ll just hold back my curiosity.”
