?Chapter 1901


    As the livestream appeared, the police managed to locate the kidnappers'' hideout.


    A fleet of police cars surrounded the old vi, their sharp sirens piercing the night, with blue and red lights dispelling the fear brought by darkness.


    Bethany remained unconscious on the floor, but Zoe, who was as resilient as a cockroach, was the first to awaken.


    Startled by the ring sirens, she was utterly terrified. As she attempted to crawl to safety, a group of familiar faces suddenly charged into the room with great force.


    "Carrie!"


    Ryan was the first to rush in, his red eyes filled with tears-a mix of pain and hope.N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    He had never feared anything, not even when he and Justin ventured into the deadly South Ind filled with mercenaries. But now, his face was pale as a ghost, his steps shaky, nearly stumbling.


    The living room was a mess, with the unconscious bullies and the still-unconscious Bethany sprawled about.


    The ce was not that big, but there was no sign of Carrie.


    Justin and Be rushed into the other rooms, calling out Carrie''s name, but she was nowhere to be found. Suddenly, Ralph and two other officers barged in and said, "We''ve looked everywhere in the vi, top to bottom, even the basement, but there''s no sign of Carrie!"


    "What about Yasmin?!" Be''s beautiful face was covered in sweat with worry.


    "We can''t reach her! But the tech team is tracking her phone''s location."


    Justin''s heart suddenly sank. "Be, you said this was Liam''s setup. Could these scums be a distraction while he moved Carrie and Yasmin elsewhere?!"


    Be was choked with fear, struggling to breathe.


    Zoe saw no way to escape. Her legs were weak, and her body quivered uncontrobly. She failed to recognize that the consequences of her actions were finally catching up to her.


    As her malicious deeds were exposed, Zoe put on a pitiful demeanor, crawling toward Ryan and crying miserably, "Ryan! You''vee for me atst... Are you here to save me?! Liam kidnapped me and tried to kill me..."


    Before she could finish, her words were cut off by a blood-curdling scream.


    Ryan''s eyes were filled with a murderous rage. He ruthlessly kicked Zoe, sending her hurtling through the air like a ball.


    They could only see a blurry figure fly past before a dull thud came from the other end of the room.


    Zoe crashed into the wall and slid down to the ground, limp like a lifeless dog.


    "Ugh..." She crumpled into a ball, trembling and coughing up a mouthful of blood.


    But Ryan did not give her a chance to whine. He walked over and began kicking her stomach relentlessly. There was no mercy. He wanted her dead!


    The agonizing pain was so severe that Zoe could not even make a sound when she cried.


    She could only squirm. Her horrific appearance was fully exposed before her former ssmates and lover.


    Justin watched from the sidelines. Normally, he would have stepped in to stop this. But not today. His gaze was cold as he watched everything unfold.


    What Ryan was doing was precisely what Justin himself wished he could do. If he interfered, Zoe would likely be killed.


    Hatred would not cloud his judgment. He would not let his hands get dirty, nor would he let Ryan pay the price.


    "Ryan, stop! If she dies, you''ll be in trouble too!" Being a policeman, Ralph had to intervene. "Do you want to be separated from Carrie forever?!"


    Ryan''s eyes were wild with rage. He roughly pushed away Ralph''s hand, grabbed Zoe''s hair, and yanked her limp body off the ground.


    "Where is Carrie? Tell me where she is!" Ryan demanded.


    "I... Don''t... Know..." Zoe muttered, her mouth full of blood, still trying to hide the truth. "Ryan... It wasn''t me..."


    "Zoe, are you still trying to lie right now?" Ryan spat in disgust.
