The person in the sack was obviously frightened by Jeffrey’s sudden voice. It took two seconds for them to realize what Jeffrey meant. Then, they let out a few “wuwu” sounds and struggled even more intensely.

“Don’t worry, I’m here to save you.” Jeffrey squatted down and patted the sack lightly. “But you have to be quiet. Otherwise, it’ll be difficult to lure the bad guys back.”

As expected, the person in the sack quieted down.

Jeffrey nodded in satisfaction at Sonia’s understanding.

This was a very good point. If Sonia liked him and he took the risk to save her, then he could use the potential danger to scare her and completely control her.

Jeffrey was scheming in his mind as he reached out to untie the ropes on the sack. As soon as he moved, he felt a sharp pain at the back of his neck.

He turned around in confusion and saw the man in charge of guarding the door return with a steel pipe in his hand. It was obvious that the other party had used this steel pipe to hit the back of his neck.

This was bad! Jeffrey’s alarm bells rang, and he tried to shake his head, trying to resist the dizziness. However, the other party’s attack was not light, so his vision was gradually invaded by darkness, and he fell to the ground.

Before he lost consciousness, he seemed to have heard gunshots and a slightly familiar voice. “Found it! They’re here!”

In the darkness, Jeffrey felt as if he was floating on a wave. He felt a little dizzy and couldn’t land, making him wonder if he was already dead.

Dead? No, how could he die just like that!

Jeffrey’s consciousness jolted, and he opened his eyes. What entered his eyes was a white ceiling, and the smell of disinfectant wafted into his nose.

He sat up immediately, and a dull pain came from the back of his neck, making him realize that he was not dreaming. He was really in the hospital.

Before he lost consciousness, he was still in the factory. He didn’t think that the kidnappers would be so kind as to send him to the hospital. Moreover, it was such a good private hospital.

Recalling the voice he heard before he closed his eyes, Jeffrey muttered, “So I was saved?” To make matters worse, it was very likely that Caroline’s people had saved him.

The next second, the door to the ward opened, and Caroline walked in. Jeffrey’s eyes flashed unconsciously.

“You’re awake.” Caroline calmly walked to the sofa opposite him and sat down. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and sized him up before saying, “I’ll give you three minutes to explain why you were in that abandoned factory.”

Jeffrey avoided her gaze and asked, “Perhaps you should first explain why your people appeared there. This was not part of our plan.”

Caroline raised her eyebrows. “I thought you would be concerned about Sonia first.”

Jeffrey’s hand, which was hidden under the blanket, subconsciously grabbed the bedsheet. “Are you talking about the girl who was tied up? So her name is Sonia. Since I am safe, that proves that she is also safe. I am assured.”

“No, it’s too early for you to relax.” Caroline took something out of her pocket and threw it to him.

Jeffrey subconsciously took it and opened it in his palm. He found that it was a somewhat familiar listening device.

His body stiffened for a moment, then he lowered his head and chuckled. His voice was a little cold. “I should have guessed it a long time ago.”

She appeared at the abandoned factory for no reason. Someone must have tipped her off, so it was only a matter of time before Caroline found out about this bug.

But Jeffrey was unwilling. He was just a little bit away from success.

Since his true colors had been exposed, Jeffrey no longer pretended. He raised his head and revealed a somewhat unruly smile. “Or rather, I thought you would have discovered this sooner.”

Jeffrey admitted that he was a little angry from embarrassment, but he let himself do it. A kid who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth, liked to cause trouble, and was overconfident was also a good newcomer, wasn’t it?

It was a pity that the audience didn’t pay the bill. Caroline stood up from the sofa and looked at him as if she was looking at an ignorant child.. “How do you know that I didn’t discover this little thing earlier?”
