Silly Bride

Chapter 64

useless! Kick it with your leg if you can’t budge the latch! Are you f*cking stupid?”“Move, move! Let me have a go at it since I’m strong!”Regretfully, that was an iron door and couldn’t be kicked open easily.When the first person failed to kick open the door, a second person charged over while cursing. Things swiftly turned chaotic.At just that precise moment, a smoke bomb rolled into the middle of the room without warning.The hatch was still locked. There was only a tiny, broken window, so the cabin was almost an entirely enclosed space right then. In a trice, black smoke permeated the air.Smoke bombs were harmful to the human body. Not only would it cause visual impairment, but it would also produce massive amounts of irritating dust and toxic gas after combustion.If inhaled in large amounts, one would likely be poisoned and fall unconscious.Winnie was closest to the window. In such a dangerous situation, her first instinct was to make a break for it. But this time, she didn’t forget to snatch the remote control from Xavier’s hand.As for his claim of the remote control being connected to his heartbeat, she absolutely didn’t believe such absurdity.Only that group of foolish kidnappers would fall for his trick. If the bomb’s timer were truly connected to his heartbeat, the sensor must be attached to his pulse like a bracelet worn at the wrist at all times. However, he was holding the remote control in his palm. As such, how could it possibly be linked to his heartbeat?For that reason, she had no plans of returning to save the man after climbing out through the window.That sc*mbag planted bombs on me and was ready to sacrifice me anytime, so I’d be mad to care about him!But just as she got off the wreck, she discovered that the bombs were fake.When she jumped off, one of the glass tubes got loose and fell to the ground.It shattered into a million pieces. Yet, there was no explosion.On a closer look, the blue liquid even contained glitter. It looked all the more like a piece of decoration instead of a bomb.Argh! D*mn him! Winnie gritted her teeth.That fake bomb even fooled me! His acting earlier was really realistic that it seemed just like the real thing!Livid, she glanced back over her shoulder at the wreck behind her.I still heard movement from within when I climbed out just now, but there’s nary a sound now. Don’t tell me everyone inside has been poisoned to death? But that doesn’t make sense. After all, it was just a smoke bomb, not a poisonous gas bomb.Just as she was planning to make her way back, a car abruptly sped past her and screeched to a stop.Before she could make out the person in the car, Christopher had already swung open the car door and gotten out.He looked Winnie up and down, his brows knitting together. “Are you okay?” “I’m fine, but the others are still in there. Hurry up and go with me for a look.”Suddenly, Christopher glimpsed the “bombs” on Winnie’s bulletproof vest. “Wait! Stay still first. There are bombs on you?”“They’re fake. Why don’t you take a look?”Christopher instantly crouched in front of Winnie. Only after checking them meticulously did he breathe a sigh of relief. “Indeed, they’re fake. You’re really too gutsy.”“It’s a long story. Hurry up and call a few people to kick the hatch open.”“Okay. Go and wait in the car first.”“No, it’s okay. I’ll tag along.”Christopher opened his mouth, wishing to counter that it was dangerous.But on second thought, this is Winnie Garland. I’ve never seen any woman as brave as her!He whipped out his gun and shielded Winnie behind him. “What’s the situation like in there? How many people are there, and do they have weapons?”“There are six kidnappers. Two of them have guns. Then, there’s a hostage and a benefactor. But before I came out, someone launched a smoke bomb. There’s no movement inside right now, so they might all have passed out.”“Understood!” Christopher rushed to the front of the hatch with two SWAT officers and kicked open the door in no time.The moment the door was opened, clouds of smoke poured out. One could vaguely see a number of people lying around on the ground.Shortly after, other police officers hastened over and carried the people in the cabin out.The last person they carried out was Yulissa.Winnie stared at
