Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1353

Before the bouncer left, he glanced at Raeleigh for a while, saying, "Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen to you."

"I have money. I'll let you study as you wish."

With that, he closed the door and left. Raeleigh gazed at the doorway before she took out her phone to send a text message to Jacky, telling him that he should send in another group of men because his first batch had gotten into trouble, and that she couldn't rescue Santiago as his bones had been fractured.

"Later, I'll go down to find the switchboard and turn it off. Pandemonium will erupt in the bar while the guards at the basement will face difficulties too since there's no electricity, and the elevator will be out of order. I will find a way to go down. Wait for me outside."

"Don't be reckless. Wait for my people to go in. As long as we confirm that Santiago is in the basement, there will be no problem."

Raeleigh stood up without answering.

She could not wait any longer.

She came out of the room with the original intention of finding the switchboard. But on second thought, she decided to blow down the power lines here.

She found a torchlight and carried it with her. Next, she got herself a paring knife, walked to the wires in the room, squatted down, and cut open the cable jacket. There were several exposed wires inside. She tried to cut them, but there were sparks, which scared Raeleigh so much that she chucked the knife onto the ground.

After a moment of hesitation, the only things in Raeleigh's mind were the scenes where Santiago was tied up and his terribly wounded body, and where the bouncer told her about Santiago's fractured bones. She couldn't afford to waste any more time.

She gripped the knife once again, gnashed her teeth, made up her mind, took off her high-heeled shoes, and put them aside. She let out a breath, wishing that she was on unpaved ground, so that it would be safer. However, she could only rely on luck at the moment. If she turned off the switchboard, then it would be turned back on by Terek's men soon. If the problem occurred somewhere else, then it could cause them to take longer to locate the source.

Raeleigh only hoped that the current would be transmitted through her to the ground instead of electrocuting her.

After taking a breath, she struck the knife to the wires while gritting her teeth. As the sparks flew out, she withdrew the knife. At last, the sparks had vanished, and the wires broke into two. Raeleigh then sat on the ground. "Thank goodness, I'm still alive!"

Raeleigh was not injured, but she was scared half to death. She rose and headed for the door. Meanwhile, she surveyed the pitch-black room. Outside, all h*ll broke loose.

Raeleigh opened the door and went out, but she soon retraced her steps to reverse the condition of the wires and prevent Terek's men from noticing the abnormality, should they come in.

After she was done, she turned around, went out, and locked the door. Then, she went off in a direction according to her memory.

Raeleigh weaved her way through the chaotic crowd and walked all the way to the door of the basement. Someone swept a flashlight around the bar. Raeleigh evaded it at once. Finally, she reached the door of the basement. Raeleigh fumbled about in the dark for a moment, found the stairway, and descended it.

Raeleigh was not wearing shoes, so she could walk lighter and faster.

Arriving at the underground, she spied around. There was a door to the basement.

Concurrently, some people came out of it, including Terek. Although Raeleigh didn't know them, she could tell it based on the way he spoke and his demeanor.

Raeleigh squatted in the corner. Terek ascended the stairs directly with his subordinates. They left in a hurry. Terek said, "Check if someone has snuck in. Make sure you keep an eye on him."

"Yes, sir."

Raeleigh had been holding the iron rod the whole time. The man glared at her. "Identify yourself!"

She didn't say anything and just stared at him.

He went near her, stretched out his hand to choke her while lifting her from the ground. Raeleigh's face turned from white to red, and then to purple. In the end, Raeleigh's eyes started to roll back, but he still did not let her go.

Santiago shook the iron chain vigorously, glowering at the man.

Raeleigh's eyes rolled as she was on the brink of losing her breath. Only then did the man loosen his grip. In the next second, he shivered and looked down at his abdomen. Raeleigh opened her eyes, and her hand was gripping a knife. She twisted the knife to slash him twice, horizontally and vertically. The man could not believe his eyes. He loosened his grasp on Raeleigh and clutched his abdomen before he took two steps back and fainted onto the ground. Raeleigh stumbled and swept her eyes over Santiago bit by bit. Santiago was astounded and did not respond.

Taking a deep breath, Raeleigh's eyes fell onto the man on the ground. She searched his body and found the key.

After procuring the key, she immediately went to Santiago to unlock the chains for him. While doing that, she kept weeping. Santiago stared at her with his bottomless eyes and gritted his teeth.

Raeleigh loosened the chains. Santiago could not stand still and fell forward like a falling stone. Raeleigh hugged him at once. He took a deep breath and opened his mouth to take a deep bite on Raeleigh's shoulder.

"Hmm." Raeleigh clasped her hands tightly. If it weren't for the fact that Santiago had felt disinclined to hurt her, the bite would have been real hard.

Santiago let go of her with blood stainson his mouth. Raeleigh glanced at him. "Jacky's men will help us outside. Let's go out."

Santiago took a look at her attire, and his expression suddenly darkened.
