Chapter 1136 He's Here to Save Her!
All the action teams on high alert received orders to immediately go up the mountain and surround the cottage.
They formed several layers of encirclement, and even the bomb squad's experts joined the operation.
No one knew what was going on inside without the camera, but at the thought of Jack being killed, everyone knew
that danger was invading Alivia bit by bit.
Bert's meaning was very clear. No matter what, the hostage must be safe.
No one else knew who this man was and how influential he was, to the extent that even the chief spoke up for him.
In this way, the safety of the hostages was the most important thing. They had to ensure that Owen would not hurt
Alivia when they broke into the cottage.
The captain first sent a group of policemen to climb over the not-so-high cement wall to enter the backyard silently.
There was not a single person in the yard. They approached the room beneath the grass shed step by step, opened

Except for... Matthew. He was lying in a pool of blood with his eyes wide open and without vital signs.
Only then did the captain give the order, and everyone rushed in at that moment, barging into the cottage that had
just appeared on the monitor.
The captain walked at the forefront, fully armed with a pistol in hand, his body moving back and forth, his eyes
sharp as X-rays, but even so, he couldn't see where the person was.
"Damn!" With a curse, he put away his gun and waved his hand to ask the accompanying doctor to take the body
away.
The captain had no time to be distracted and carefully saw everything on the scene. Where could he hide in such
an empty and dilapidated house?
Behind him, a young police officer suddenly shouted in a hurry, "Captain, there is a passage over here!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone followed him. On the south side of this cottage, there happened to be a small
door leading to a very narrow mountain path.
When they walked in, they could even see the soles of the shoes that had been left not long ago.
"Follow this path to search. Even if you must turn the entire mountain upside down, make sure you find the person.
The third and fourth teams go down the mountain and surround it. No one is allowed to leave, not even a bird.
Understood?"
"Got it."
The captain then turned around resolutely and climbed up the mountain, regardless of the dangerous and rugged
path ahead. As he entered the operational mode, his mind was solely focused on finding the hostage.
In any case, this mountain was very small, and he had already sent people to surround it. He didn't believe that
Owen would be able to escape with wings.
Alivia's mouth was sealed again with tape, rendering her unable to make a sound. She was dragged away by Owen,
who kicked and vented his frustration on her whenever he felt tired, directing all his anger towards her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Damn it, you stinking woman! You weigh like a dead pig. If I didn't need you, I would kill you and dump your body in
the wilderness right now!" As he spoke, Owen didn't forget to kick Alivia a few times. One kick landed on the back of
her neck and another on the back of her head with great force, causing her head to buzz.
Alivia gritted her teeth and endured the pain, deliberately making her body feel very heavy. She hoped to slow
down the pace of Owen so that the police would have a better chance of catching up.
It was unclear whether her strategy worked or if the intense state of tension simply made Owen more fatigued, but
after climbing for over ten minutes, he was already exhausted, gasping for breath, and seemed on the verge of
collapsing.
He really couldn't walk anymore. He found a big rock and leaned against it to rest for a while.
Being tossed aside by him, Alivia lay on her side on the ground, her hands and feet bound, completely immobilized.
The only thing she could move were her eyes, and as she tried to memorize the path they had taken, she suddenly
caught a glimpse of a figure moving on a nearby hilltop.
She was stunned for a moment, and then her heart beat wildly. Her cold body seemed to be filled with tons of hot
water in an instant, and she became completely awake and alert.
Her eyes suddenly turned red. She quickly looked away and suppressed the excitement and sadness in her heart.
She didn't say anything, but she knew very clearly in her heart that it was Bert's men who had come to save her.
