But even if they left, there would still be clues and traces left in their hiding place.
As long as those clues were found, they might be able to find out their next hiding spot.
Minutes and seconds went by, and the search still yielded no result.
Shane's frown deepened. He was obviously displeased with the current situation.
At that moment, a bodyguard suddenly ran over. “Mr. Thompson, we found out where Sean and the rest had been
hiding.”
Shane's eyes widened at this. Immediately afterward, he opened the car door. “Where is it? Take me there.”
“Yes, Sir.” The bodyguard nodded and led the way.
Shane and the manager followed him. They did not stop until they reached the very middle of the container area
seven minutes later.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was an open space of almost sixty square meters, where there were several tents. In the middle of those tents,
there was a simple stove, a few pots, and some foodstuff.
Apparently, Sean and the others lived there and even cooked there.
“Mr. Thompson, there's still hot water in this kettle. It's not very hot, but it's obvious that they've just left not long
ago,” the manager said with a kettle in his hand.
Glancing at it, Shane said nothing and walked straight to the largest tent.
Since Sean was the leader, the largest tent should be his.
Entering the tent, Shane found Sean's clothes, glasses, and some daily necessities inside.
There was also a map that had been scribbled.
Shane narrowed his eyes, picked up the map, and studied it.
It was a map of J City. Many places on it were marked with bright red crosses, while some places were circled.
Shane noticed that the places marked with a cross were busier places with more surveillance and population,
whereas the places that were circled were the opposite.
It seems that Sean has been using this map to decide his hiding spot. I can't believe I actually found something
useful here.
Shane folded the map and put it into his pocket.
“Get out of there, Mr. Thompson! Run!” Suddenly, the manager was heard shouting anxiously from outside the tent.
“What's the matter?” Shane emerged from the tent with a frown.
The manager was still talking on the phone. After a while, he looked at Shane and replied, “Our men found some
explosives ahead. They're timed to—”
Before he could finish speaking, a massive explosion was heard.
Immediately afterward, a heat wave hit.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTurning to look over, Shane saw a raging fire not far away. The containers and warehouse were all ablaze.
It's really a trap! They wanted to burn me to death here!
“Let's go, Mr. Thompson!” Grabbing Shane by the arm, the manager ran with him.
Shane flung his hand away. “We're too far away from our cars. We can't outrun the fire. We must jump into the
river.”
“Jump into the river?” The manager was stunned.
Ignoring him, Shane ran straight ahead. The river was merely about ten meters away from them.
The manager knew very well that they could not run to their cars, which were parked quite some distance away as
it had taken them seven minutes to walk there earlier.
If he were to run toward the cars, he would die before he could reach the cars.
Therefore, jumping into the river was indeed the best way at the moment.
With that thought in mind, the manager ran after Shane. Seeing this, the other bodyguards followed.
Soon, Shane reached the riverbank. Turning to glance at the people who were behind him, he jumped into the river
without hesitation.
But unexpectedly, he had picked the wrong spot to jump.
