Chapter 2062

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2062-Rhea kidnapped Cameron to use him as leverage. A live bargaining chip was helpful, as there was no use if the person was dead. She would not bother with such a futile task.

“Well, where else do you think a person may be hiding?” Edward looked at Alexander and said, “I’ve been thinking about it, and the only place where someone could be hiding is the boss’s office.

“Now that the boss is dead and the office is empty, that place is usually off-limits. It should be the most suitable place to hide someone,” Edward added with some self-blame, “I’m sorry, it only just occurred to me. Otherwise, I would’ve told you earlier.”

“There’s still time.” Alexander patted Edward’s shoulder and said, “Let’s go and take a look now.”

There were still scattered footsteps outside, so Edward leaned against the door and listened for a while. Then he said, “Going out from here isn’t suitable. They’ll see us. Let’s go the other way.”

He waited until there was no sound outside before cautiously opening the door slightly to peek outside.

Since the corridor was empty, Edward figured they must have gone elsewhere to search for the supposed intruder.

Only then did Edward come out and gesture to Alexander.

Alexander followed suit, and the duo quietly walked along the corridor toward the other end. Although it seemed like a dead end, Alexander kept following Edward since the latter was determined to move forward.

As they neared the end, they suddenly turned a corner and headed in another direction. After entering the new path, Alexander noticed another corner. After turning there, another corner became visible.

The duo turned several times as the place resembled a maze. Suddenly, Edward halted, then jumped, extending his hands in a pushing motion. The cover to a ventilation duct above opened immediately after.

Edward jumped and gripped both sides. Then he forcefully squeezed himself inside before turning around and reaching out his hand to Alexander, saying, “Sorry for the inconvenience.”

Alexander looked up and smiled slightly. “Just move aside a bit.”

Edward nodded and moved to the side while Alexander leaped to join Edward quickly. The duo closed the ventilation duct from the inside, leaving no trace of their presence. It was as if they had never been there.

Edward said lowly, “It’s dirtier and harder here but safer.”

“That’s fine. No need for small talk. Is this your first day meeting me?” Alexander questioned in a deep voice. “Start climbing.”

Edward nodded and turned around to lead the way by climbing. They could only climb forward in this ventilation duct, but Alexander felt it was not the same duct as before. After all, there was no scent of anesthetics, not even a trace.

Perhaps it was because there were different ventilation ducts that the person from before was unaffected by the anesthetic.

The duo climbed along the duct for a while until they finally stopped. Edward cautiously listened for any movement below, ensuring no one was there. Then he looked down and finally moved a cover aside before jumping down.

Alexander followed and jumped down as well. Immediately after, he put the cover back in its original position.

The duo looked up and turned around to find themselves standing on the outermost side of the research facility.
