Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 409

Since he couldn't hold Marina back, Luk only had to let her go.

Marina reached the stair exit and tried the door.

It was hard to open it at first.

But she didn't dare to shout for Luk to help. She just used body language and lip language to urge Luk to come quickly.

Luk knew that if he was really locked here and deprived of food and water, he would die very soon.

Instead of getting Tina out, he was trapped here.

Marina had already gone upstairs. Luk could see that she had listened for a long time with her ear pressed against the door.

There seemed to be no danger.

He had to go upstairs and help Marina open the door.

As soon as he tried, the door opened.

It turned out that Marina was so stupid that she tried the door in the opposite direction. Of course, she couldn't open it no matter how hard she tried.

Then Luk asked Marina to go up first.

If there was someone guarding upstairs, the first target would be the person who went up first.

Perhaps because it was the White residence, Marina was not afraid and went straight up.

Unexpectedly, there seemed to be no one upstairs.

After Marina went upstairs, Luk didn't hear screams. Then, he followed and went up.

"Have yous seen anyone?" Luk whispered.

"Not yet. Keep your voice down. Let's look again."

They looked around and found an elevator.

For the first time, Marina knew that there was an elevator in this underground warehouse.

She had never heard of it through Jason.

When she opened the elevator, she found that it was large inside and it must be a cargo elevator.

Perhaps it was installed to facilitate transportation.

Then it was obvious that Jason could have taken this elevator to get up. After coming out, he reinstalled the door to the basement.

Luk said, "Fortunately I'm smart. Before I came down, I dismantled the door and broke the lock.

Otherwise, if we had really been locked underground, we would definitely die."

Man proposes, but God disposes.

Marina had already got everything well prepared, but this elevator ruined everything.

Jason was lucky that the elevator could still work after so many years.

Then found everywhere but didn't see Jason.

They had to come out to see whether there were any traces outside.

It was dark outside.

Both of them had searchlights on their heads.

Soon, they found blood at the entrance of the side door.

But the blood hasn't dried yet.

Obviously, Jason couldn't be far.

Besides, he had Tina with him, so he wasn't able to run fast.

So Marina ran even faster than Luk.

When Luk was panting behind her, Marina was still energetic.

"You go after him first. I'll be there soon," Luk said.

Having been in a state of anxiety recently, he was in poor health and soon got tired.

By contrast, Marina had lately nursed her body, as if she was preparing for this moment.

When Marina heard that Luk asked her to go first, she slowed down and waited for him to catch up.

When Luk caught up, Marina suddenly slapped him hard.

"Trash! We're to save our daughter. You're so slow. Do you want all of us to be killed by Jason?"

Luk was dazed by the slap.

He thought since Marina was so energetic, she should save her strength to slap Jason but not him.

But he didn't dare to say it. He just stammered, "Of course I'm worried about my daughter and I want to catch Jason right away, but I'm exhausted."

"Even if you will die from exhaustion today, you have to speed up. Don't let Jason go by ship," Marina said.

Having heard her words, Luk seemed to be totally different and kept pace with Marina.

Each of them had a searchlight on their heads like professional workers.

After walking for a long time, it was at dawn.

They were getting closer to the Binjiang River.

It was a little chaotic at the pier.

Luk and Marina decided to look for Jason separately. And as long as one found him, do not act rashly but call the other first and then take action together.
