Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 748
Gerald was hunched over inside the cramped passageway. He glanced at Stella’s face.
He then listened to the noise outside. Clearly, those people weren’t going to give up their search soon. They were
turning over every stone in their search for their targets.
Jasmine was so anxious that her forehead was filled with beads of cold sweat.
There was no way of escaping this if they let things continue without taking action.
Gerald was at the back of the group, and Stella was just beside Gerald.
At that moment, Gerald produced an exquisite but compact instrument from his pocket.
Stella was surprised when she saw that instrument. She could tell that it was something extraordinary, something
which you couldn’t get on the regular consumer market.
Gerald then gestured to her to remain silent.
After that, he pressed a button on the device, which most likely produced a distress signal.
“This…what’s this? Is this thing gonna save our lives?”
Stella asked with her eyes widened.

Stella nodded enthusiastically.
As curious as she was when it came to that abnormal-looking device, she was more curious about the meaning
behind Gerald making physical contact with her head.
And they stayed in the passageway for nearly ten minutes.
At that moment, they heard a buzzing noise from the sky outside.
“What noise is that?”
“Boss, something’s wrong. We’re surrounded. There are around ten helicopters above us that came out of
nowhere! If we don’t leave now, it’ll be too late!”
They soon heard people shouting outside.
“What? F*ck! Retreat immediately!”
After that, they heard the noise of multiple men rushing out of the house.
Stella widened her eyes. Clearly, she was surprised by what the men said so loudly.
Pooh!
‘Gerald ordered these helicopters to come as reinforcements?’
‘Is that even true?’
‘Who exactly is Gerald?
‘Is this how powerful rich kids are nowadays?’
But Gerald ordered her not to speak nonsense, so Stella didn’t dare to make any outrageous claims.
Soon, the droning sound of the helicopters disappeared gradually.
“We’re safe now. Let’s go!”
The woman who was hiding behind Gerald said.
Jasmine then walked out of the passageway with a confused expression.
Gerald emerged from the passageway too.
And the scar-faced woman was the last one to leave.
However, as she was walking up the steps, she tripped over slightly because of something underneath her feet.
She picked it up and glanced at it. It was a jade pendant.
She remembered now, it dropped out of the youngster’s pocket when he was taking out the little gadget of his just
now.
But after she brushed her fingers over the jade pendant, the woman’s body started trembling uncontrollably.
The passageway they hid in was pitch dark. That woman could only use her sense of touch to feel the shape of the
pendant.

Suddenly, she continued trembling out of fear.
“Hmm? Why hasn’t that lady come out yet?”
“That’s right. Ma’am, they’ve left already, you can come out now!”
Marven shouted.
The woman then emerged from the passageway.
“Thanks for saving our asses, ma’am. Here’s a little gift of appreciation. Don’t worry, we’ll send Xenia home when
we find the person we’re looking for!”
Jasmine put a debit card on the desk. “The password is Xenia’s birthday!”
“Jasmine, there’s no time to lose. I think we better leave quickly. We almost died just now. But don’t you find it odd?
Where did those helicopters come from, and why are they saving us?”
Mindy said in confusion.
Jasmine shook her head. “I’m not sure either. Let’s talk about it later after we leave. Let’s go, Gerald!”
Seems like Jasmine did know where the maid was!
Gerald nodded slightly. He led Marven and the rest out of the home.
“Young man, wait for a moment!”
The woman called out to Gerald in a rather emotional tone all of a sudden…
