Chapter 145: Looking for an opportunity to escape
Matthew sent all his men outside the major banks to keep an eye on Joshua. Getting the news,
Shangguan Ling and
The success is not paid off, just when everyone thought Joshua would not appear, a suburban bank
called to say that Joshua's shadow was found.
Emily and Matthew, rushed with the fastest speed, to this bank, in order not to alarm the snake, they
entered the bank from the VIP channel to the surveillance room.
Sure enough, I saw Joshua with his hat on, standing at the counter with a cautious face to handle the
account.
"Damn Joshua, if I didn't want to know where the hell Lauren was, I'd beat the hell out of you."
Matthew clenched his hands into heavy fists and waved them viciously in the air. His face was filled
with violent hostility.
"CEO Yin, this is not the time for you to get angry, you'd better get someone to follow Joshua's lead, or
you won't see Lauren."
Matthew nodded, forcing himself to suppress his hatred for Joshua and instructed Seung to send two
resourceful men to follow Joshua and make sure he found Lauren's whereabouts.
Joshua, who had set up the account, sent a message to Ling Xue'er in the car, told her the number on
the card, and then decisively turned off his phone.
Along the way, Joshua was very cautious, raking the highway in many circles until he was sure there
was no one behind him to follow, then he drove the car in the direction of the plant.
But just as he was approaching the plant, Joshua inadvertently saw in the rear mirror that there was a
car traveling in the same direction as he was.
This makes him more than one mind, according to the usual, this road is rarely passed, not afraid of ten
thousand, just in case.
Thinking of this Joshua, deliberately slowed down the car until the car behind, still maintaining the
same speed, and then overtake their own car, Joshua has been tense nerves, is considered completely
relaxed.
This time, he accelerated the speed of the car. The car soon arrived near the plant, and only at this
time did he realize that the car that he originally thought had overtaken him was now behind his own
car, and the goal was obvious. It was in the direction of himself.
Joshua hurriedly stepped out of the car and quickly ran towards the second floor of the plant.
"Lauren, get up, we need to get out of here."
Joshua rushes to the second floor, pulls Lauren up and runs outside.
"Joshua, let go, you're pulling me so hard."
The pain in her wrist made Lauren cry out loudly, and she pulled on the pillar next to her to keep
Joshua from taking herself away so easily.
"Hurry up and go, if you don't leave it's really too late,"
Joshua was very anxious at the thought that soon Matthew would find this place and would take Lauren
away.
"Joshua, I'm not leaving with you until you make it clear."
Joshua's reaction made Lauren sure that definitely Matthew's people had arrived, otherwise he
wouldn't be so anxious to get out of this place.
"Don't be asking, you come with me now quickly and I promise to tell you all about it."
Lauren shook her head.
"Joshua, you can't be so selfish. Don't you forget that you are still little baby's father, and you have little
baby, your lovely daughter, do you want to leave your daughter, in this dilapidated factory where no one
will pass by?"
Lauren stalled for as long as she could, knowing that one more minute she stayed would give herself
and her little one, hope for life. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
"Lauren, I'm going to ask one more thing. Are you coming with me or not?"
The crazy look on Joshua's face scared Lauren a little, but the thought that Matthew would soon come
to her rescue emboldened her again.
"I'm not going to go with you Joshua, turn yourself in, kidnapping is against the law, you might as well
think about your future life for yourself and your little one."
''Well, even if you don't want to go with me, there's nothing I can do, but I'm not going to let you stay
with Matthew.''
Joshua raised his right hand, slapped Lauren hard across the face, and then tied her to the post with a
rope while he ran to the little babe, pulled her up off the floor, and brought her directly to Lauren's face.
"Daddy, I'm in so much pain, really much pain?"
Joshua's lack of any warmth in his movements caused the little darling to scream in pain.
"Joshua, let go of the little baby, she's bleeding from her leg."
Lauren was in a state of fear when she saw her little one's bleeding right leg.
"Mom, save me, save me." The voice of the little baby crying for help kept coming to his ears, and tears
flowed down his cheeks.
"Joshua, I beg you, let the little baby go, he's your daughter, don't you want me to leave with you?
Okay, we're leaving now, if you let the little baby go, I'll leave here with you now and go where you want
to go."
"You mean it? You really promise me?"
Joshua put down the little baby in his hands, ran to Lauren, grabbed her by the shoulders, and asked
again in disbelief.
"Yes, I'll go with you now if you let the little baby go."
On Joshua's face, there was an excited smile. He hurriedly untied the rope on Lauren, pulled her and
ran outside.
"Joshua, where is this going?"
Lauren found Joshua leading himself to a path that was so difficult to follow that on several occasions,
Lauren almost fell.
"Don't be asking. We need to get out of here as soon as possible and go to a place where no one has
any of us to start over, and don't worry, I'll let you live a happy life afterwards."
Joshua assured as he pulled Lauren towards the front.
Weak Lauren, simply can not withstand such a toss, soon, her body is not half strength, the whole
person directly sitting on the ground. Big breaths of air.
"Joshua, I really can't run anymore, let's rest for a while, or my life will be left here before we find the
place."
The pain on Lauren's face made Joshua sure. She wasn't acting, she really couldn't run anymore.
Joshua looked around a few times, did not find any abnormalities, only slightly put down his heart.
"We can only rest for a while or it will be too late."
Lauren nodded, glanced around secretly, carefully pulled a button off her shirt, and placed it on her
seat.
"Can't be resting, let's hurry."
Joshua took Lauren's wrist and ran right to the front, not noticing the buckle under Lauren's seat in his
hurry to leave.
Soon after, Joshua brought Lauren to the pier.
"Hurry up and get the boat."
Joshua pulled Lauren, jumped into the boat, and then instructed the owner to steer the boat.
"Sir, you must pay a deposit first, or we won't sail, and besides, we have to wait for our guests,"
The owner of the boat did not pay attention to Joshua's threats, but looked at Joshua and Lauren with a
smile on his face.
Joshua went through his pockets and didn't find a penny before he remembered that he had left his
wallet in the car. He was in a hurry to leave and forgot to take his wallet.
"Lauren, get the money you have on you, we're going to charter the boat and get out of this nasty place
right now."
Lauren shook her head.
"Joshua, I don't have any money on me, you know, usually I sign Matthew's card, so I never carry cash
on me, or we'll go back and get your wallet first, then go back here. The boat isn't going to sail away
anyway."
Lauren asked Joshua tentatively.
"No, we can't go back."
Joshua, with a fierce look in his eyes, called the captain to his side, then took out the knife in his pocket
and put it against the captain's back.
"Order the staff to sail the ship immediately, or I'll have your life now."
Joshua's words, full of cold and threatening, scared the captain's face pale and hurriedly ordered his
men to sail the ship.
"Captain, we can't sail now, it's not time for us to leave. If we sail at this time, even if we get inside, we
will meet the marine police, and then we will be in trouble."
The captain spread his hands.
"Sir, you heard it, it's not that I don't sail ah, you'd better wait a little longer, until our departure time, we
immediately sail, then also to avoid encountering the marine police."
Joshua thought about it and agreed with the captain, but instead of taking away the knife, he pulled the
captain and sat down on the deck together.
"You better not get into any tricks or my knife will not recognize anyone."
Joshua threatened the captain.
"Lauren, come and sit here for a while too, you can refresh yourself with a little sea breeze."
Lauren nodded, just running all the way, really made her body a little less comfortable, facing the sea
breeze, maybe can be comfortable.
Lauren glanced from side to side before sitting next to Joshua.
"Lauren, now the captain's life, is in your hands, if you dare to escape, I guarantee that the captain is
the first one to see the King of Hell."
Joshua knew that Lauren could leave at any time in this situation, so he had to threaten Lauren to stay
by his side with the captain's life.
"Joshua, you've really changed, the old Joshua has really disappeared, now you, you've changed to be
terrifying, you can actually trample on other people's lives at will, are you still human?"
Lauren's loud shout drew everyone's attention.
"You keep your mouth shut or I'll kill the captain."
Joshua deliberately added some force to his hands, and the captain's painful voice was immediately
heard in his ears.
Lauren was afraid to speak up again, fearing that because of herself, the captain would be hurt by
Joshua.
"How much longer?"
Joshua knew that the longer he delayed, the worse it would be for him. He must get out of here as
soon as possible, and maybe Yin Chen was already coming in his direction.
"There are five minutes left, and in five minutes we can sail the ship." Forced by the knife at his waist,
the captain dared not make any rash moves for fear that Joshua might do something to hurt himself.
Five minutes was really too long for Joshua, if not for the fact that the boat would have been spotted by
the marine police.
Lauren kept trying to figure out a way, hoping to stall for time and wait for the person who would save
her.
"Ouch, Joshua, my stomach hurts, can I go to the bathroom first?"
Lauren covered her stomach and looked at Joshua with a painful face.
"Lauren, don't play this boring trick with me, I'm not falling for it."
Joshua said as he pulled the captain aside, thankfully, without arousing anyone's suspicion by their
actions.
"Joshua, I really can't hold on, come on, I need to go to the bathroom now."
Looking at the pain on Lauren's face, Joshua was a little overwhelmed.
"Lauren, does your stomach really hurt that badly?"
Joshua looked at Lauren with a suspicious look on his face, carefully observing the expression on his
face.
To gain Joshua's trust, Lauren's face became more painful.
"Joshua, I have a real tummy ache, the food you gave me yesterday, all the greasy stuff, of course it's
bad for my stomach. I beg you, let me go to the bathroom in front, okay?"
Lauren's pained expression left Joshua no longer in any doubt. Pulling her wrist, he jumped off the
boat.
"It's okay to go to the bathroom, but I'm going to follow you."
"This ......"
Lauren was a little embarrassed, but on second thought, she could find another opportunity. Maybe she
could see Matthew's people up ahead.
With this in mind, Lauren agreed to Joshua's proposal.
"You can come with me to the front, but you have to stay away from me."
Joshua nodded.
"Don't worry, I won't touch you until I marry you, go away, don't you have a pain in your stomach?"
"Yeah, my stomach hurts, but are you sure you want to follow me around?"
Lauren looked around a few times, and did not find a person who could save himself from danger, so
he had to prolong the time as long as possible.
"Do not be in the nonsense, you go or not, if not we will go now."
Lauren kept looking left at him, causing Joshua to completely lose his patience. He pulled Lauren's
wrist and headed back.
"Well, don't be in such a hurry. I'll go to the bathroom in a minute,"
Joshua nodded and led Lauren to the dock's restroom, then stood directly in the doorway.
Lauren, who walked into the toilet in the dark, looked around, but she was really going to despair.
There was only one door to the toilet that led outside, and it was the doorway that Joshua was
guarding.
