Chapter 220
Swapped
Lucille was not worried that the commotion would wake Yohanna up.
That was because apart from Yohanna's, the boxes of food that Agnes had delivered were drugged with heavy sleeping pills.
When she asked Yohanna for the utensils earlier, she secretly swapped their boxes.
Therefore, Yohanna, who had eaten Lucille's food, slept soundly and did not wake up at all.
Lucille fiddled with the steel wire for a while.
In no time at all...
She unlocked the door with a click.
Lucille pushed the iron door open and walked out.
The corridor was empty, with only a few lights and her quiet footsteps.
At that moment, the iron door across from hers was opened as well.
Lucille turned around and saw Kylian slowly walking out of the storage room with a, silver wire in his hand.
Obviously, he had done the same thing as her.
That d*mned tacit understanding of theirs....
Lucille tilted her head and asked, "Why don't we each search one side?"
The basement was so big, and there was also the risk of being discovered by Agnes
and the other kidnappers at any time. It was best for them to act separately.
Kylian took the lead in walking forward.
There was a fork at the end of the aisle. Both sides led to unknown places.
Lucille walked to the left and Kylian went right.
The two of them split up and began to
search for the other victims.
Lucille searched all the way to the southeast based on the directions given by the device, only to find a door there. The light behind the door was bright, and she could faintly see silhouettes moving around inside, Based on the number of people, it definitely wasn't the other victims. They must

have been the kidnappers.
Why weren't they asleep in the middle of the night? What were they doing inside?
Lucille took two more steps forward.
Looking through the crack in the door, she found that the kidnappers inside were counting money. There were more than three safes in the room, filled with lots of money and even a few gold bars.
One of the men locked the safe that belonged to him with satisfaction and said, When we sell all the goods in the basement, we'll make a lot of money! Let's do our best, guys."
The other kidnappers happily agreed.
Lucille lowered her gaze. From the looks of it, the other six victims that had yet to be found were likely to have been sold off somewhere by the kidnappers.
Lucille was about to leave when she heard the man say, "Keep your spirits up. This batch will be delivered on Friday. Don't make any mistakes until then!!"
"Don't worry, Sean. We're all being cautious."
The other two answered him with a smile.
The batch would be delivered on Friday?
In that case, there were still six days left.
Having received useful information, Lucille quickly turned back along the way she came from.
However, she didn't expect to hear Agnes' footsteps coming from around the corner.
Had she been discovered?
Lucille frowned. She wouldn't be able to retreat in time.
The kidnappers behind her were about to push the door open and come out, and there was Agnes in front of her. Lucille was standing in the middle of the aisle. No matter who found her, it would affect her plan. There was a loud noise.
The kidnappers opened the door.
However, right then, all the lights in the basement went out. It was pitch black.
The kidnappers exclaimed, "What's going on? Why is there a sudden power failure?" Swapped
"Did the circuit breaker trip? Let's go and have a look!"
After a moment of chaos, the kidnappers used their phones to light the place up.

Gaze
At that moment, Lucille's hand was gently grabbed by someone.
"Let's go."
The unique aura of a man surrounded Lucille.
She looked up and saw Kylian's deep gaze.
Taking advantage of the darkness around them, the two of them returned to the door of the storage room silently before Agnes and the kidnappers could react.
On the way over, Lucille shared what she had learned with him.
"They're going to sell us off next Friday. Let's take action immediately once we reach. the final destination," Lucille said. Then, she couldn't help but sigh.
The only thing she was worried about was that the six people she had yet to find had already been sold off.
Thus, no matter what, she had to do her best to protect the eleven innocent victims who had been found.
When they got to the end of the passage, Agnes seemed to be coming in their direction.
Lucille and Kylian glanced at each other and immediately went into their storage. rooms. Then, they quickly lay down and pretended to be asleep.
Agnes checked the lock and made sure that there was no trace of damage. After that, she looked inside through the iron bars Seeing that everyone was sleeping soundly under the influence of the sleeping pills, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Time ticked by.
Every day felt like a year.
Finally, it was Friday.
If all went well, it was the day that they were going to deliver the goods.
Lucille glanced at Rachel, signaling for her not to be nervous.
Over the past few days, Lucille told Rachel the news that they would be sold off on Friday through Morse code. Rachel was so nervous that her palms were sweating. Fortunately, her mental state was still intact. Even in the face of Yohanna's concerned' questions, she did not waver.

Lucille waited patiently with her back against the wall as she counted the time.
Finally, Agnes brought some people in with her.
A group of kidnappers rushed into the storage room, then covered all of the girls'
eyes and tied their hands up. After making sure that they had no chance to escape, they pushed them out.
The three girls were so scared that they cried.
"Where are you taking us?"
"Please don't hurt me. I'll give you all my money. Please just let me go..."
The sound of their sobbing echoed in the empty aisle.
However, the group of kidnappers did not show any pity. They slapped them in the face and scolded, "Shut up. Don't cry. My ears are hurting from how noisy you are."
The girls sobbed, but they didn't dare to make a sound.
Lucille walked at the back. Her eyes were covered with a black cloth, so she could see nothing. Despite that, with her sharp senses, Lucille noticed that Yohanna's hands had been untied before she left with Agnes.
It seemed that her had been completed.
Lucille grinned coldly.
Soon, everyone was pushed into the elevator and went to the wood factory on the first floor.
There was a moderately-sized truck parked in front of them. This time, all the abducted victims, regardless of gender, were put into the truck together.
"That's all of them. Go and deliver the goods."
The kidnappers hummed and got into the driver's seat and the back row respectively. Then, they started up the truck and drove all the way forward.
She didn't know where their destination was, but it probably wasn't far away.
Sure enough, it was almost as Lucille expected. They only spent half an hour on the mountain road before the truck stopped.
There was a conversation going on outside the car.
The real mastermind had arrived.
What were they waiting for, then?
She was exhausted after having to put up an act for so many days.
Lucille moved her hands around, and the rope tying her up immediately loosened.
She removed the black cloth covering her eyes and untied Rachel's rope, who was beside her. With a faint smile, she said, "What are you afraid of? I told you that I would get you home safely."noveldrama
