Chapter 249: Ambush
“It seems you’ve understood my meaning. Since you understand, there’s nothing more to say. Give a message to your boss: if he wants something, he can come forward directly. There’s no need for sneaky tactics. I hate people who scheme behind others’ backs.”
After saying this, Sylvia stood up, but her wrist was grabbed by someone.
“Now that you’ve figured out what we’re up to, do you think I can just let you leave like this?”
Seeing the man’s furious expression, Sylvia knew his plan had failed. The consequences of failure were clear to everyone; he couldn’t explain to Miles.
But the more he panicked, the calmer Sylvia became.
“Whether you place an order or not is your business. Whether I can leave here is my ability. Why don’t you try to see if I can really leave from here?” After saying this, Sylvia snatched her hand back and gave the man a cold look before leaving. However, her speed couldn’t match his. Suddenly, he pulled out a handkerchief from his bag and covered his nose and mouth.
The next moment, Sylvia was stunned. She had been outwitted by this man. She vowed to remember this and return the favor to Miles intact, showing him who to mess with and who not to.
While he was still conscious, Sylvia wanted to call someone nearby, but he quickly lost strength. He couldn’t even grab his phone as it fell to the ground. His body felt numb, and he eventually lost consciousness.
After losing consciousness, Sylvia didn’t know how long it had been. All he knew was that when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a Ads by PubFuture
room.
The room had a strong fragrance that made Sylvia feel uncomfortable. He frowned. He had planned to leave, but as soon as he stood up, he felt weak.
He involuntarily fell back, knowing the effects of the drug hadn’t worn off yet. What kind of drug was this? It was so effective. But he noticed his phone was still next to him. What was going on? Did that person have a change of heart and leave the phone for him?
But that didn’t make sense. Why would that man leave the phone for him? He would surely find a way to take the phone away, or leave it here to give him false hope.
But the fact that the phone was here still gave Sylvia a glimmer of hope. He struggled to pick up his phone, only to find it had no signal. It seemed the man had left a signal blocker as well. Sylvia couldn’t send any messages to his people to come and get him.
Sylvia didn’t even know where he was, but he couldn’t just sit and wait to die.
If he kept waiting passively, he would become a sitting duck.
Taking a deep breath, Sylvia bit his tongue hard to endure the pain. Even though his whole body was numb, he felt a surge of strength. He propped himself up, gasping for breath, and struggled to stand up, leaning against the wall as he walked out step by step. Could he get a signal once he left this room?NôvelDrama.Org © content.
He finally reached the door, about to open it and step out, but the next moment, someone opened the door from the outside. Sylvia’s heart skipped a beat when he saw who walked in.
What a series of unfortunate events!

“What’s going on? It’s been so long, why hasn’t Sylvia returned? I haven’t heard any noise from next door. Let’s go check it out.”
They had been sitting in the private room for so long without Sylvia returning. Duncan was getting anxious. Where could he have gone? Apart from being a little worried just now, the others also felt something was off. How could he be gone for so long without returning?
“Let’s go. We need to find out what’s going on. It’s not like him to be gone for so long.”
Their reasoning made sense, but why would something happen when they were so close? It was puzzling. They packed up and headed outside, only to find the room next door empty and cleaned out. There was no one inside.
At that moment, they had to admit that something was indeed wrong. Suddenly, they all became a bit anxious, but fortunately, they were in the first row. Duncan immediately nudged Kate, who took out her phone and called the manager. In a moment, the manager hurried over. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
The big boss usually wouldn’t come here, but today, with something major happening, how could he sit still? Yu Sheng immediately came over.
“Boss, I’ve already turned off the surveillance according to your instructions, but the surveillance on this floor may not capture everything. It broke last month…”
As he said the last sentence, sweat dripped from the manager’s forehead. What should they do? The surveillance had broken last month and hadn’t been fixed this month. The boss would surely be angry. Just as he expected, Kate was furious. She kicked the manager in the chest, causing him to fall to the ground. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
“The surveillance broke last month and hasn’t been fixed this month, so why did I hire you? Are you just playing with my money? Let me tell you, if you can’t find the people in this room for me, none of you will have a good end!”
Kate was indeed very angry, but her concern was mostly for Sylvia. After thinking for a moment, she told the others, “Sylvia’s situation must have happened suddenly, so we need to send people to look for him. We’ll also check the surveillance around and inform Bruce and the others about this.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
After all, they couldn’t keep Sylvia’s absence a secret. Everyone had to find a way to spread the news.
They had been good friends for so many years, and they all understood each other well. They immediately started making calls and each took on
their own tasks, methodically. The manager watched with a pounding heart. Maybe he wouldn’t have too much trouble next.
“Hurry, take me to find the surveillance. Find all the surveillance around here. If there isn’t any here, there must be some elsewhere.”
The manager didn’t dare say much and immediately led Kate to check the surveillance. At the same time, he made calls to ensure that everyone who entered the room was accounted for.
