Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free
Needless to say, Caleb took the same vehicle as Justin, Nora, and Xander.
The van was extremely comfortable.
Unlike the journey here, there were all kinds of food imaginable in the van. Xander held a can of cola and munched on snacks, his short legs dangling off the seat as he watched the show on the TV screen on the back of the seat in front of him.
It started drizzling outside before anyone had even realized it.
The radio in the car was reporting a piece of news: “Some areas have been experiencing thunderstorms, which have caused landslides and mudslides. Fortunately, there were no casualties…”
“Why is the weather so bad all of a sudden?”
Nora murmured.
Justin sneered and glanced at Caleb. “You’ll have to ask Mr. Gray why he chose to come to a place like this.”
Located at the intersection point of three countries, which made it a place that none of the countries it bordered cared about, the place was bound to be poverty-stricken and worthless.
The area was poor and dilapidated, and the mountains were also left unsupervised.
Caleb smiled wryly.
Suddenly, Xander asked, “Will there be any danger of landslides on the path we’re taking?”
As soon as he said that, the van suddenly stopped.
Justin frowned and asked, “What’s the matter?”
In front, Lawrence suddenly ran over from the other car. When the window opened, he said, “Boss, this is terrible! It’s been raining the last two days, so there are landslides in the mountains. The road in front has collapsed!”
Following Lawrence’s report, the area where they were suddenly began to shake violently!!
Justin and Nora looked at each other. Neither of them said anything, and both reached out to grab Xander.
“Get out of the van! Quick!”
As he spoke, Justin managed to grab Xander first. He and Nora didn’t have the leisure to care about anything else anymore, and they jumped out of the car immediately.
Caleb also panicked. He stood up immediately and got out of the van with them.
But the moment he got off the van, he suddenly saw the people outside standing side by side. The van that had been shaking was still shaking violently.
However, the van was actually stationary on a giant shaking platform.
Nothing had collapsed at all.
All of this was Justin’s ploy.
Upon realizing this, Caleb was stunned. He frowned and looked at Justin, perplexed.
Justin cast his eyes down. He said, “The V16 must be on you. There is no way someone like Trueman would hide the V16 in the city. After all, that would be too risky. The fact that we didn’t find it could only mean that you’ve hidden it relatively well. In dangerous moments, people immediately grab the things that matter the most to them before evacuating. Even if you are Caleb at that moment, Trueman’s consciousness would still wake up, forcing you to make a subconscious reaction…”
As such, his and Nora’s subconscious reaction was to grab Xander.
Justin hadn’t informed Nora of this plan beforehand. The radio broadcast in the van, as well as the deliberate darkening of the car windows, were all to create a dim and dark atmosphere for the people in the van.
Only when Nora reacted naturally would Caleb believe what was happening.
The clothes that Caleb was wearing today were all clothing that Justin had specially prepared for him beforehand. When they were setting off, he must have hidden the V16 somewhere for sure.
Whatever Caleb was clutching at the moment was the hiding place of the V16!!
The few of them looked at Caleb’s hand—he was holding a black inconspicuous plastic bag.
When they were getting into the van, Justin had deliberately relaxed the security checks so that Trueman could bring things in. For Caleb to be holding that bag right now, this meant that…
The V16 was inside!
It seemed that Caleb hadn’t expected himself to pick up the bag either. He was dumbfounded for a while before he finally followed everyone’s gazes and looked at the bag in his hand.
Confused, he broke into a frown and said hesitantly, “It’s true, I don’t really remember what happened at that moment when I was getting off the van… So, the V16 is in the bag??”
Before Nora could speak, next to her, Lawrence stepped forward and reached out for the bag.
But Caleb’s arm suddenly moved, and he took a couple of steps back to dodge Lawrence.
All of a sudden, he sneered, his voice turning sharp and piercing. “I didn’t expect my dearest little brother to be so skilled at manipulating people! Ha, I’ve lost this time! Still, do you guys think that you can get the V16 so easily just with that little trick? Impossible!”
With his other hand that wasn’t holding the black bag, he propelled himself off the side of the van and jumped right over to the other side. Just as everyone was about to go after him, Trueman suddenly stretched out his arm and held the black bag he was holding near the edge of the cliff.
They were in the mountains.
Below the mountains was an abyss.
The drizzling rain made the area, including the bottom, foggy, and it was impossible for one to see how deep the bottom went. If the V16 bottle dropped down the cliff, it might break!
Gene serums were liquids. Once the bottle broke, no one would be able to recover the contents, not even Nora.
“Stay back.”
A smug and brazen look came over Trueman’s countenance. He grinned at Nora and Justin and said, “If you come any further, I’ll throw the bottle down!”
Nora and Justin didn’t dare to move anymore.
Under the few people’s watchful eyes, Trueman opened the black plastic bag.
There was indeed a serum bottle in the bag!
Nora had specially designed the bottle for the V16. With it, the V16 could leave the refrigerator for a short time without the contents going bad. Nora looked at the bottle lid—it was intact.
Obviously, it had never been opened before.
All of this proved that the bottle in Trueman’s hand at the moment… was undoubtedly the V16!
She nodded at Justin.
Justin looked at Trueman. “If you think about it, Xander is your kin too… Can you really bear to completely fall out with us?”
Although Trueman was technically Xander’s granduncle, Justin would never outright reveal the generational—and therefore seniority—gap between the two. Thus, he had used the term “kin” instead.
Trueman sneered. “So? It wouldn’t matter even if he was my son. Didn’t the old geezer himself kill a hundred of his own children?! Do you think that I, who grew up in an environment like that, would still have feelings for familial relations?”
Justin cast his eyes down. “You are surrounded by my men. Do you think you can escape?”
Trueman didn’t care. “Who says I’m escaping? I’m going to inject the V16 into myself! Hahaha!”
Justin’s expression darkened. “Even if you inject it into yourself and increase your lifespan, believe it or not, I can still kill you right here and now! You won’t live to see another day!”
Trueman narrowed his eyes. “There’s no point in saying all that to me. Once I inject the V16, you will never be able to kill me—because you would have to draw a sample of my blood as soon as possible in order to study the gene serum’s chemical composition. After all, Professor Anti here would never give up on saving Xander, would she?”
Trueman behaved as though he already had the whole situation under control. He sneered and said, “I’ve already figured out all your tricks. If anyone dares to take a step forward, I will throw the gene serum down the cliff right away. If worse comes to worst, all of us…”
The look in his eyes suddenly turned cold and sinister, and there was no warmth in his voice at all as he said, “… can go to hell together!”
After saying that, he took a step forward.
“Stop!”
Nora shouted abruptly, afraid that he would really fall off the cliff with the gene serum.
He was already at the very edge of the cliff.
The corners of Trueman’s lips suddenly curled into a smile again. He said, “Nora, I told you that you would regret it if you give the other V16 to Queenie. Let me ask you the same question now: do you regret what you’ve done?”
There were originally two gene serums.
Trueman didn’t really have any intention to kill Xander.
When he ordered Queenie to take both gene serums with her back then, one was for his own use, while he was intending to use the other to force Nora into begging him for it…
But Nora had set up a trap instead. Not only had he almost been captured, but at the critical moment, she had also given the other gene serum to Queenie.
Trueman really wanted to see Nora breaking down in tears right now.
Nora stayed where she was and said firmly, “I don’t regret anything.”
She would never regret saving her aunt.
Seeing that she was still being stubborn even at a time like this, Trueman was infuriated. He sneered and said, “Then you can only watch helplessly as your son dies!”
“Trueman!” Nora called out to him. “Xander is your son too. He called you Daddy for five years. How about this? Come back here and give me the gene serum. One drop—that’s all I will take. I will take only one drop for research, okay?”
“No.”
