Chapter 2617

“Do you know about the missing accomplice, then? Their gender, perhaps?” asked Imogen, staring at

Shirley nervously.

Shirley pursed her lips. “I’m not sure, but I did hear something. They left a laptop at the coffee shop. I’m

sure I can find their accomplice’s name there, so I’m going over today.”

Imogen held Shirley’s hand tightly. “I’m coming with you, Shirley. I can’t let you risk your life alone.”

“Sure. Meet me back here in fifteen minutes,” said Shirley.

Imogen said, “Just make it the two of us. If too many of us head over, we’ll be alerting the enemy.”

“Sure. Just the two of us.” Shirley nodded.

Imogen saw Shirley off. She was getting nervous as she bit her lip and clenched her fists. I can’t

believe those idiots left a laptop around. What’s more, Shirley heard them. I have to find that laptop

before she does and delete all of its files. Then, I’ll destroy it. I cannot let anyone see my chat history

with those guys, or my life will be ruined.

Shirley came back to the suite. Zacharias was on the veranda, making her, he quickly hung up and

approached Shirley. “Where did you go?”

“I went to set Imogen up, of course. I’m going to expose her today. Tell kidnapped. Hide it in the room

behind the wine cellar.”

“Are you going with Imogen?” Zacharias understood what the trap was.

“Yeah. I lied to her and said the kidnappers left a laptop in the coffee shop. If we go now, I’m sure

Imogen’s going to search for the laptop and delete all the files in it.”

Zacharias nodded. Once Imogen left, he would ask his men to search her room for any evidence.

Shirley changed into a set of new clothes and came back out. Zacharias suddenly took out a pistol and

handed it to her. “Take this, just in case.”

Shirley thought it was unnecessary, but she took it anyway. After seeing through Imogen’s true colors,

she knew she couldn’t be careless. That woman was a dangerous individual now. After Shirley hid the

pistol, Zacharias held her hand.

“Be careful. I’ll be there to assist you.”

“Don’t come. Tell Roy to come instead.” Shirley stopped him. I can’t let him run around.

“Fine, Roy will go with you guys.” Zacharias nodded. He lied a little. He would still go anyway.

Fifteen minutes later, Shirley returned to the hotel’s lobby. Imogen eased up a little. She was worried

Shirley might bring someone along, but she was alone, and it made things easier.

“Let’s go. I got a car. We’re sneaking out,” said Shirley.

Imogen smiled. “Let’s go.”

Shirley was driving. Imogen was talking about the days back in the base, and she lamented, “Aside

from the impossible training, life was nice back in the base.”

“Yeah. I miss those days too, lamented Shirley. It’ll be nothing but memories from now on. After today,

we’ll be strangers. Imogen will pay for her crimes.

“That’s the shop. It’s still cordoned off. We should go through the backdoor so that no one sees us,

Imogen suggested.

Shirley nodded. She said, “I heard that the laptop’s hidden in some wine cellar. We’ll split up and find

it.”

“Park the car there, Shirley. I’ll check things out first,” said Imogen.

Shirley pretended not to realize what Imogen was trying to do, and she nodded. “Sure. You go on

ahead. I’ll park the car. Someone’s going to tow it away if I park here.”
