One Night Surprise

Chapter 353 Dead or Alive

At night, an orange cab with a Shanghai registered number plate drove near to the entrance of the Beijing-Shanghai expressway.

In order to avoid any accidents, Courtney and Fiona got out of the car when they were about five kilometers away from the meet-up point. The driver gave them a weird look, and several times, he stopped himself from saying something.

“Keep the change, sir.” Passing a 100-dollar note to him, Courtney stopped him from staring at them judgingly.

“Thank you.” Taking the note, he advised in a kind voice, “Please watch out, ladies. It’s not so safe in the northern part of the city. Do you live here?”

Hurriedly, Courtney nodded. “Yeah, we live not far from here. The roads ahead are a little tricky for cars. Thank you.”

Only then did the driver leave.

Under the blanket of the night, the streetlamps on the road in the wilderness lit up, but there was no one to be seen ahead or behind them. Turning on her navigation app, Courtney held Fiona’s hand and found their way to the old, abandoned power plant by the river.

“They’re here, boss,” a subordinate reported, his voice echoing through the huge building.

Soon, the sounds of footsteps coming downstairs could be heard, and a man walked downstairs onto the concrete floor of the old factory. Every step he took caused a big stir in the dust, and it swirled around under the dim light.

The moment Felipe came downstairs, he saw Courtney standing next to Fiona, and his face immediately turned sour. “Didn’t I already make it clear that you should come alone?”

“I don’t know the way.” Staring at him righteously, Fiona added, “She’s just here to accompany me. Stop your nonsense. I’ve already brought the money; where’s Oliver?”

“He’s at a place where he should be.” With an icy stare in his eyes, he swept his gaze past behind Fiona. “Where’s the money?”
