He smiles and says, &#8220;I want all of it in cash. Do not get me a penny less. Drive fifty kilometers on the right road. You&#8217;ll know where we are when you get there. But I&#8217;m warning you. Don&#8217;t bring police or your men here. Only Jane can come with you. Otherwise, I&#8217;ll get angry and do something.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Frances agrees to this demand and drives back to get the money.<\/p>\n<p>When I see a hundred million in cash, I&#8217;m dumbfounded.<\/p>\n<p>It fills ten suitcases.<\/p>\n<p>How could Andrew take so much money with him?<\/p>\n<p>It can&#8217;t be easy for him to run away with these suitcases.<\/p>\n<p>Now I know why Frances has agreed to Andrew&#8217;s demand.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, old Mr. Louis would be safe in this way.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, Andrew cannot escape easily with the money. He would not get away with punishments after kidnapping old Mr. Louis.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I have no sympathy for Andrew at all.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is so much money.&#8221; Seeing these suitcases, I couldn&#8217;t help but sigh.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You have more.&#8221; Frances looks at me dotingly and says reluctantly.<\/p>\n<p>Then, he has someone put the money into the car.<\/p>\n<p>The suitcases wouldn&#8217;t fit in the trunk, so they put some on the back seat.<\/p>\n<p>Frances does not notify the police for old Mr. Louis\u2019 safety. When the police call, he just tells them there is no news.<\/p>\n<p>However, I&#8217;m a little worried.<\/p>\n<p>Although Frances is good at fighting, Andrew is a desperado who doesn&#8217;t care about his life. This is the most terrifying thing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wait here for me to come back. I&#8217;m afraid it&#8217;ll be dangerous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Before getting on the car, Frances suddenly says to me.<\/p>\n<p>But I just ignore his words, open the door and get in the car. Then I say firmly, &#8220;That&#8217;s exactly why I want to go with you. Frances, no matter what would happen, I want to be there with you. So, please, don&#8217;t leave me here. Let&#8217;s face it together.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Frances couldn&#8217;t persuade me, so he sighs helplessly and gets into the car.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Frances, you bastard! Don&#8217;t leave me here. Let me go with you! I want to see everything gets fine for you and grandpa!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, Frances acts as if he doesn&#8217;t hear me. He takes two suitcases and walks straight ahead.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Frances, come back here! Come back!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Frances walks away from me. Finally, he enters the small house himself.<\/p>\n<p>I struggle for a long time before managing to roll out of the car and wriggling forward.<\/p>\n<p>I know that I must look miserable now, all covered in dust. But I don&#8217;t care about it. I&#8217;m worrying about Frances.<\/p>\n<p>I couldn&#8217;t hear anything from the distance, so I could only crawl forward desperately.<\/p>\n<p>After climbing for a while, I hear a gunshot.<\/p>\n<p>Frances didn&#8217;t carry a gun, so the one who shoots is&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>No! No!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Frances!&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-410","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
