Chapter 1314: Chapter 1316 The Woman Mr Raymond Has His Eye On

“Daniel…” Doris choked up, “Why are you so foolish? How could you follow me? I’ve brought trouble upon you.”

“How can you still be saying that at a time like this?” Daniel sighed, “How could I just stand by and watch you get kidnapped? What kind of a man would that make me?”

“But now…” Doris sniffled. “I worry you’ll be in danger.”

“It is what it is now,” Daniel said. “Don’t be afraid. You still have me!”

Doris lowered her head and sobbed for a moment, then said, “Thank you.”

“Don’t be so polite with me!” Daniel reassured her with a smile. “Having the opportunity to protect you is something I’ve been hoping for. Unfortunately, I couldn’t protect you properly. If you keep being polite, it’ll make me feel even worse.”

“You’re already injured.” Doris looked at his bloodied forehead with teary eyes. “Does it hurt a lot?”

“It’s not too bad,” Daniel replied. “But right now, our top priority is figuring out how to escape or call for help.

“Is your phone still with you?” Doris asked. “Let’s try calling the police.”

A bitter chuckle escaped Daniel before he said, “Do you think they’re that dumb? They’ve probably taken our phones already.”

“What should we do then?” Doris felt helpless.

“Don’t worry,” Daniel said. “You can try to help me untie the ropes on my hands. Once I’m free, we can.

open the window and figure out a way to escape.

“Alright, you turn around,” Doris said. “I can only try to feel my way around.”

“We can’t give up hope with even the slightest chance. Daniel turned around, back to back with Doris.

Doris used both of her hands to feel the ropes on Daniel’s wrists. Unfortunately, her wrists were tightly bound, and she could only use her fingertips. She had to rely on her sense of touch to fumble through it.

Click! The door lock made a sound, and the iron door of the warehouse swung open when Doris found the end of the rope and was about to pull hard.

Doris shivered in fear, and Daniel held his breath.

Creat… The door opened, and a young man entered.

He walked straight to Doris, crouched down, and raised his hand to pat her cheek. “No wonder Mr.

Raymond said to bring you here no matter what. You really do have some charm!”

Doris recoiled, hunched over, and moved away. “Don’t touch me, or you’ll regret it!”

“I certainly wouldn’t dare touch you!” the man sneered. “You’re the woman Mr. Raymond has his eye on. I wouldn’t dare harm you.

“Release Mr. Thomas, then!” Doris demanded. “Since it’s me you want, Mr. Thomas has nothing to do with all this. Let him go!”

“This man got himself into this mess, the man said. “Blame himself for being unlucky!”

“Release him!” Doris insisted. “It’s me you want! Leave him out of this!”

“That’s not possible,” the man replied. “He already knows too much. Either we silence him or hand him over to Mr. Raymond. Releasing him is not an option.”

“You dare!” Doris glared at him. “If you harm him, I won’t spare you even if I become a ghost!”

“Heh,” the man chuckled coldly. “I’m not afraid of ghosts!”

“Dude, Daniel, lying on the ground, spoke up. “Is the Raymond you speak of Raymond Zaneveld?”

“Do you think knowing that will make any difference?” The man kicked him. The more you know, the quicker you die!”

“If the person behind you is Raymond Zaneveld,” Daniel said, “I advise you to release Ms. Doris. She connected to the owner of the Imperial Palace, and if anything happens to her, not only will you be in trouble, but Raymond won’t be able to escape either!”

“Mr. Raymond despises the owner of the Imperial Palace,” the man said. “He wants to torment this woman to lure out the guy. Without disabling him, Mr. Raymond won’t be able to swallow his anger.”

At the same time, Waylon and Benjamin’s cars arrived on the county road.

The personnel from the transportation department had formed a circle at the intersection.

Waylon and Benjamin got out of their cars and saw two wrecked vehicles by the side of the road.

One was a black Audi A8, and the other was a platinum Volvo.

Waylon recognized the Volvo as Daniel’s.

The vehicles had been severely damaged, especially the Audi, which was in a terrible state.

It seemed that Daniel had put up quite a fight, and he likely didn’t come out of it unscathed.

Waylon furrowed his brow and whispered, “To think Daniel’s actually so courageous.
