Silly Bride

Chapter 64

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 the unconscious woman for a long while.Out of the blue, she asked Christopher, “Oh yes, have you done a toxicology test on the blood sample I gave you previously? What are the results?”A frown marred Christopher’s countenance. “The results are as you expected. She’s likely a long-time addict.”“Chris!” While they were talking, a SWAT officer headed toward Christopher with a syringe and a small, silver briefcase in hand. “These were found inside a while ago.”Christopher took the briefcase. As soon as he opened it and took a look, his brows creased deeply, for there were dozens of medicine bottles arranged neatly in there.Winnie merely took a gander before she likewise frowned. “There are a lot of drugs here. It makes me doubt the veracity of Yulissa’s kidnapping. I think they might be in cahoots. Consequently, the kidnapping might have been a ruse.”“I’ll interrogate them strictly
