it.”With that, he leaned over and helped her to close the door. He then got out and made his way to the driver’s seat.When the engine started, Winnie found Josiah’s medical flashlight by her feet. He must’ve dropped it when he bent over to close the door.Carefully studying the tiny flashlight in her hand, Winnie smiled and said, “I can’t believe you have this little thing with you, even at a place and time like this.”Little thing? Josiah instinctively touched the pocket on his chest, which made him realize he had dropped his flashlight.He met Winnie’s gaze through the rearview mirror and grinned. “People who are dedicated to their work are generally quite lucky. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gotten the chance to rescue General Kane’s beloved daughter. In fact, today’s happenings were all thanks to her. If not, you people would be in deep trouble.” Winnie frowned slightly. “Exactly. Harold is such a cruel person. We really thought we were done for. Unexpectedly, you suddenly appear in a tank.”Josiah laughed out loud. “What do you think? Did I look cool just now?”Winnie suddenly found it amusing as she pictured the scene from a while ago. “I don’t know about that, but you looked dramatic and even a little comical when you were holding the megaphone.”Josiah adjusted his glasses. “Tsk… Looks like the megaphone has affected my image. Hmph! I’m never using it in the future.”Winnie chuckled and handed him the flashlight. “Here you go.”Josiah tilted his head to give her a glance. “Hold on to it for me. I’m driving. By the way, make sure you sit tight. The road ahead isn’t paved.”“All right.” Winnie retracted her hand and glanced at the road ahead. “Where are we going?”“Huh?” Josiah was surprised, though he kept his eyes fixed on the unpaved road. “Didn’t Xavier tell you about the plan?”Sighing softly, Winnie explained, “He didn’t have the time. We were planning to pick up my granny from the hospital first. But as soon as we opened the door, we found Harold waiting for us inside with a gun. Xavier was planning to meet up with you to talk about it in detail.”Josiah nodded to express his understanding. “Well, I can fill you in. Xavier was too focused on protecting you when you were in danger back then. He can’t multitask, so I was the one who came up with the plan to return to the country.”Winnie glanced at his side profile. “Okay. Let’s hear your plan.”Josiah explained, “First, we’re not taking a plane. The procedures are cumbersome and it’ll take up too much time. So, I got ourselves a private chopper from our country. Unfortunately, the chopper can’t come here. That’s why we have to leave in a car.”Winnie nodded. “Where are we going, then? Where do we board?”“Yeringham. With this terrible road, it’ll take us about four hours to get there. Once we’re there, we’ll go straight to the tallest building. The helicopter will be picking us up on the roof.”Winnie had not heard of that name before. “Yeringham? Harold won’t be there, right?”“Theoretically, no, because Yeringham is protected by the local government. It’s not as chaotic as this place where several countries meet. Thus, even a powerful ruler like General Kane won’t have the guts to cause trouble there, let alone Harold,” Josiah analyzed.After
