Chapter 1536: Chapter 1536: Rescue
As soon as the woman cried, everyone felt awkward, and it wasn’t nice to keep scolding her.
Even if they were contemptuous of her actions, they could only throw a disdainful look, reluctantly “accepting” her being forced into a corner.
But it’s “acceptance,” not “understanding.”
The living room quieted down, everyone was silent, waiting for rescue, only the woman’s suppressed sobs occasionally broke the silence.
Cherry was still upset, glaring fiercely at the woman, and the thought of her rare kindness being used against her made her feel burning anger inside!
At this moment, Gene’s voice came again from the phone on the table—
“How is it going? Has everyone figured out who the culprit is?”
“Gene! You’re wasting your efforts! We won’t fall for your trap!” someone replied.
Gene chuckled softly: “Delaying time is no good idea, it’s actually not difficult at all, right? Just give up a culprit, and you all get saved, and I get some closure. Don’t think by prolonging this, you can clear yourselves, the Stan Brothers died on this ship, and if the culprit doesn’t appear even for a day, you’re all forever suspects!”
Every word of his provoked, every word incited.
As long as one person is handed over, everyone can escape, and most importantly, it gives an explanation to the Stan Family.
No one spoke.
Everyone remained silent, even if some hesitated inside, none wanted to be the first to step out.
Faintly, the sounds of fighting came from outside, changing everyone’s expressions.
Rescue had arrived!
It was already very close, otherwise, they wouldn’t hear the sound!
Gene, hiding alone, seemed unaware of the situation outside and continued: “It’s so boring to wait dryly like this; let’s have some entertainment to liven things up.”
Next, from the direction of the balcony came the sound of the curtain sliding.
The floor-to-ceiling curtains were equipped with electronic tracks for remote control, and at this moment, it slowly opened like a curtain revealing a stage.
On the balcony was a rectangular sandbox, beneath which lay two swaddled infants side by side.
While others were still puzzled, the parents of the twins already realized those were their children, and the woman’s crying instantly lost control! She struggled desperately but couldn’t reach them due to her cuffed wrists!
Purple Summers’s face turned pale at this moment, her voice even started to tremble: “Look underneath… the book on the robot vacuum.”
One end of the glass sandbox was placed on a low stool, while the other end was vertical with a thick book on the robot vacuum, delicately maintaining balance.
Once the robot vacuum begins to work, the book will fall, and as soon as the book falls, the sandbox will lose balance and collapse in the direction of the infants!
From the distance, it won’t hit the children, but the sand will surely pour out! The whole nest of fire ants will crawl out!
The twins’ parents were nearly insane!
The man desperately used a dagger to strike at the metal chain connecting the handcuffs, while the woman cried out in pain and despair!
From the other end of the phone, Gene no longer spoke but faintly emitted a laugh of enjoyment.
The indicator lights on the robot vacuum lit up, starting the cleaning program, and began moving…
“No! No ah ah ah!—” The woman was driven to breakdown, yelling and picking up a dagger, “I know who the culprit is! I know!!!”
She held the dagger high, not caring who was beside her, randomly stabbing!
The other party was a middle-aged man, noticing her emotional instability, had been vigilant, and now seeing her raise the knife to stab, dodged immediately!
His left hand was ultimately restrained, even avoiding with full effort, his arm was grazed by the blade, he cursed under his breath, and seeing the woman stab again, he kicked hard!
Bang!
The kick was fierce, the dagger drew an arc in the air and fell far away, emitting a crisp metallic sound.
At the same time, the book on the robot vacuum fell down, the sandbox tilted and fell, the glass shattered, and the ants in the nest, akin to a black tide, surged out…
