Chapter 1834: Things Are Going Too Smoothly
Elsewhere, Joyce gazed suspiciously at Zhao, the commander, and instructed, "Try calling back. It seems like their signal suddenly
cut off. Could it be intentional?"
Commander Zhao nodded, quickly dialing again. But Cloud's phone remained unreachable.
Zhao shook his head, "The signal is gone; | can't make any contact."
Darrin, stroking his chin, pondered, "Could Cloud have been ambushed, forced to cut off the call? | can't think of any other reason."
Joyce shrugged, "Forget about him for now. Let's focus on the rescue.”
With no way to contact Cloud, she could conveniently delay the matter of the blueprints. Soon, Christian's men arrived - over a
hundred of them - and surrounded the event center.
Christian communicated remotely with the people inside the event center, who seemed to have lost their leader. Without anyone
to make decisions, they quickly reached an agreement with Christian's men.
The special police and military left first, leaving the scene under Christian's control. Then the hostages inside the event center
were released. Once all the hostages were freed, Christian's men personally exchanged with the criminals inside, and, as agreed,
let them leave without pursuit. Despite the kidnapping, there were no casualties.
Joyce and Luther approved this plan. Commander Zhao led the special police to withdraw first, followed by Darrin leading the
military personnel. Soon, only Christian's men remained outside the event center.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAbout half an hour later, the criminals began to release the hostages. When the last hostage left, Christian's men entered the
event center, and all the men in black surrendered. The remaining issues would be handled privately by Christian's organization.
Joyce and her team were no longer involved.
At that moment, Joyce, Luther, and Anderson were waiting outside the amusement park. Justin had also arrived from the hotel
across the street.
The hostages, although threatened with personal safety, were not injured. They left the amusement park in an orderly manner,
albeit pale in fear. Gradually, fewer and fewer people remained.
Anderson anxiously looked into the amusement park. He was still waiting for Fair.
Growing impatient, he asked, "Didn't they say all the hostages were released?"
Joyce soothingly replied, "Just be patient a bit longer. Fair should be coming out soon."
As she spoke, Fair appeared, cheerfully bounding out of the amusement park. Her pigtails swung up and down as she ran, an
adorable sight to behold.
Anderson finally saw Fair safe and sound. He rushed up to her, grabbed her shoulders, and demanded, "Why are you the last one
to cout? Everyone else has already left."
Fair was a bit taken aback by Anderson's harsh tone. She replied, feeling wronged, "I was at the end of the line, they released us in
order. | couldn't do anything about it."
"Idiot! Who let you go back alone? Do you know how dangerous it was?" Anderson continued to scold her, "If it weren't for the luck
today, you could've been dead."
"l, um..." Fair stuttered, unsure of how to respond.
At that moment, Joyce approached with a smile, "Alright, stop arguing. Anderson, Fair was scared. How could you talk to her like
that?"
Anderson pointed at Fair and complained to Joyce, "Mom, look at her! She doesn't even seem remorseful. Does she look scared to
you?" He then continued to reprimand Fair, "Idiot, can you please discuss things withbefore you act?"
Feeling abashed, Fair actually realized she had been quite brave. At that time, all she could think of was saving Anderson, nothing
else mattered. She gave an awkward smile, "Okay. I'll discuss things with you next time. Don't be angry."
Anderson felt that Fair was insincere and his anger didn't subside. At this point, Justin stepped forward.
Fair quickly apologized to him, "Uncle Henderson, I'm sorry. | made you miss your flight. What should we do? Should we head back
now?"
Anderson objected, "You've just been rescued, and now you're thinking about going back to Mufron. At least take a moment to
rest."
Justin gently patted Fair's head, "It's okay. The situation in Mufron has been handled. Don't worry about it. | will stay here for

Fair sighed in relief, "That's great. | was really worried. If | had caused trouble for Uncle Henderson, | wouldn't have been able to
