Chapter 408 Self Protection
Chapter 408 Self Protection
Bun dared not make any moves with a gun pointing at her head, even though she was worried to death
about Linda who now had a baby in her womb, which had only escalated Bun's worry.
Anna felt somewhat guilty.
She had startled the evildoer by her rash decision. She wanted to have the cup tested and to tell
Charles about her findings when she had found out that the glass of water seemed rather dubious. It
had small, white precipitates at the bottom. Normally, purified mineral water didn't produce such
precipitates. It hadn't occurred to her that the person who wanted to poison Linda was inside the room,
not to mention Linda's stylists.
It was indeed a long-conspired plot.
There were still doubts in their minds. When did the stylists, or more precisely the assassins, get in?
"If you dare hurt Lady Linda, Young Master Mu would let you pay the price for it, " Bun threatened the
assassins.
But such warning was a joke in Ada's eyes. She just gave a faint smile and told Bun, "My dear, do you
think your threat would work on me? If it did, I wouldn't have been here in the first place. Sorry girls, I
can only say that I am only doing what I was paid to do."
"Who paid you? Who sent you here?" Unwilling to accept the current situation, Bun questioned her
continuously.
Ada's ability to lurk around Linda for such a long time without getting caught had proved the
shrewdness of the team behind her. Bun couldn't get anything from Ada at the moment because she
was too clever!
Linda stretched out one of her hands and pulled Bun, who was next to her. Her petty movement was
not caught by Ada.
Bun excelled at fighting with her bare hands, but she needed to be careful because she was fighting
against a gun this time.
"What do you want? Just spit it out. Let me know the reason of my death!" Linda's face was void of any
fear. Instead, it registered a warm smile which Ada found quite strange.
Linda knew that the only thing she could do at the moment was to buy them some time before 6:18 PM,
the auspicious time when the wedding ceremony would start. Once the clock struck 6:18 PM and they
were nowhere to be found, Charles would definitely be alerted. He would come look for them, and Ada
would be caught on the spot.
"We want nothing from you. It's just that someone has paid me to kidnap you from the wedding." Ada
liked how Linda was reacting to the situation, so she told her directly.
"Is that so? Then, who would want to have me kidnapped? How much am I worth?" Linda continued
her line of questioning.
Ada wouldn't answer that question for sure. She was professional in her domain, so she would never
give away the identity of her employer. She knew that Linda was a smart person, so she had a reason
for asking such a stupid question. Maybe she was delaying her moves.
Ada, too, had a sharp mind, so she told Linda straightly, "Mrs. Mu, I think you are buying yourself some
time."
"You got me, " Linda admitted.
Sitting on the chair, Linda put her hands on her legs with one palm on top of the other to cover the
dragon-shaped ring on her finger.
Now that Ada had exposed her intentions, Linda had to use the dragon ring on her finger to launch a
counterattack.
"It's not going to work. I know what you are waiting for. You are waiting for the clock to strike 6:18 PM,
aren't you? I'll bring you out of here before then."
Ada had seen through her plan. If Linda were to escape from this situation, she had to partner with Bun
by means of the dragon ring on her finger. It was her only chance of surviving. Ada had no idea what
the ring was made of. She took it as an ordinary ring, but it was actually a custom-made weapon
designed as per Charles's order.
There was a secret grid beneath the ring. Inside the grid lay a marble. Once pressed, it would shoot
straight forward into the air, generating a power commensurable with that of a bullet.
But Linda only had one chance to confront the calculative Ada, for she was supported by a professional
team. Linda was wondering whom she should hit with the marble for her to escape easily.
Later, the whole room sunk into silence. Two persons flanked Anna into the room and threw her next to
Linda.
Anna forced a smile on her face and told Linda, "My Lady, I'm so sorry. It is my negligence that has
brought you suffering."
Linda shook her head and smiled. She was thankful enough that Anna had figured out that there was
something wrong in that glass of water, or else she would have been taken away by Ada in the dark.
Ada herself didn't even see that coming.
If they dared come here today to kidnap Linda, they must have worked out a deliberate plan. Plan A
was to take her away without alarming others. Plan B was to take her away by force in case they failed
to launch Plan A.
Ada sat by their side, holding her tongue, and putting on a frown. She looked at the clock from time to
time. It was approaching 6:15 PM.
Only three minutes to go before the wedding... Their lives were counting on themselves.
The three of them dared not move an inch with guns pointing at their heads.
"If my memory serves me well, your name is Ada, right? It's a good name. I think it's quite pleasant to
the ears." Linda tried to initiate a conversation with Ada.
"Do you think so? I think it is just okay." Ada glanced at Linda and did not speak again.
She was actually on her nerves right now. She was waiting for Lisa, or else she would have been gone
by now.
Her employer had told her that another woman with the identical face as Linda's would be sent over
there to substitute Linda, which would help save an uproar on the wedding.
In the beginning, Ada intended to put some hypnotics in the water, so she could take Linda away
quietly while she was put in a coma. This way, she would not alert the people around Linda. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
But now her plan had come to light. She was exposed before she could even start.
Ada didn't want to take this deal at the start, for they would be acting against the Young Master of the
Mu clan once they had taken it.
And Charles was such a capable man!
As the eldest grandson of the Mu clan, he controlled the politics and economy of the whole city. Those
who offended him would have been chased to the ends of the earth. The team behind Ada was
cautious in taking orders. They wouldn't risk their lives for the business.
