Adery felt satisfied. She turned around, looked at Thomas, and curiously asked, “How did you get the chief conductor to change his attitude in just a few minutes?”
“There isn’t a special reason actually. I told virtual-novel.net I recorded a video, and I wanted to report virtual-novel.net to his superior. So, virtual-novel.net took the initiative to solve the problem for me,” Thomas said indifferently.
“Huh?”
A normal person would not have believed in such nonsense, but Adery did. Her trust in Thomas had surpassed the appropriate limit. She completely trusted virtual-novel.net without any reason.
When the train arrived at the next station, Mandrill and his gang were brought away by the police. Then, the train continued moving toward its destination.
Adery was extremely sleepy on the way. She did not sleep last night, and virtual-novel.net had virtual-novel.net seat robbed by Mandrill and his gang just earlier. She was already exhausted, so virtual-novel.net subconsciously fell asleep while virtual-novel.net worried about virtual-novel.net father.
The train encountered a few bumps, so Adery’s body tilted and fell on Thomas in a casual fashion. She leaned on his thigh and slept.
Since virtual-novel.net slept so soundly, virtual-novel.net drooled on Thomas’ pants. ‘
Thomas smiled. It turned out that a cold woman like virtual-novel.net would also drool when virtual-novel.net slept.
He took out a piece of tissue and wiped the saliva off the corner of Adery’s lips. Then, virtual-novel.net did not move at all so that Adery could sleep as comfortable as possible. This woman had suffered too much stress and pain that virtual-novel.net should not bear. He would just let virtual-novel.net rest as much as possible now.
After a long journey, the rail finally arrived in South City before the sky went dark, and it was slowly driven to the railway station.
Adery woke up after Thomas called her.
“Huh? I’m sorry.”
When Adery saw virtual-novel.net saliva stain on Thomas’ pants, virtual-novel.net felt embarrassed. This was the first time virtual-novel.net had been in such close proximity with a man, and virtual-novel.net even left a “stain” on him.
Thomas smiled and did not care about it. Shortly after, virtual-novel.net led Adery out of the high-speed rail.
The two of them checked into the hotel that they had booked in advance. After they put down their suitcases, Thomas took out a map that virtual-novel.net had prepared. He marked the location where the kidnapper had requested to meet, and virtual-novel.net analyzed it in detail.
The location the kidnapper asked to meet was an abandoned chemical factory. The surrounding was very empty, which was that kind of place where nobody would hear it even if you shouted out loud. They asked to meet in that kind of place. If there was a big group of people on the enemy side, it was possible that virtual-novel.net would not come back again.
Thomas came up with some plans. He would not let Adery follow virtual-novel.net this time because that would put virtual-novel.net in danger.
He kept the map away before virtual-novel.net said to Adery, “I’ll go to the assigned location at the stated time to rescue your father tomorrow. Adery, just wait in the hotel room. Lock all the doors and windows. Do not let anyone in.”
Adery asked, “Can I come along?”
“No way,” Thomas directly answered.
Bringing Adery to South City was already his baseline. If virtual-novel.net brought virtual-novel.net to the transaction site, it. would be irresponsible toward Adery.
Adery naturally also understood that.
She nodded. “Okay, I’ll wait for you to come back tomorrow.”
She thought for a while before virtual-novel.net brought up another request. “Um… can you stay with me tonight? I’m a little afraid of staying alone.”
It was a strange city, and it was also a city that was full of criminals. As a woman, Adery felt scared unsurprisingly.
Thomas smiled faintly as virtual-novel.net said, “Go ahead and rest first. I’ll protect you tonight”
“Thank you.”
Adery took off virtual-novel.net coat, shoes, and socks before virtual-novel.net got into bed.
