They can calculate the schedules of buses and subways, figure out when they will arrive, and then tell her which one to take only about 30 seconds before it arrives…
These things probably require multiple pre-trial runs.
The more it is like this, the less likely there will be loopholes in the kidnapping of Jasmine by the other party.
Can we really successfully rescue Jasmine and catch Phoebe and
Whitney?
If we only rescue the child without catching these two people, it’s likely that they will become a ticking time bomb again in the future, and we won’t know when they will explode.
Suddenly, Valda was startled by the sound of a baby crying. She looked up and saw two low-hanging cable cars crossing the river not far away. Each cable car had a basket hanging from it, with one basket on the opposite side of the river and the other basket on Valda’s side.
At this moment, the cry of a baby is heard coming from a suspended basket on the other side of the river.
Valda shuddered, that must be Jasmine in the basket!
And here is… Suddenly, I remembered the day when Jasmine was kidnapped. She and Grace were on a boat tour in the ancient town, and the boatman mentioned that they were building some kind of drifting and amusement facilities around here…
And what’s in front of us looks more like an unfinished entertainment facility.
On the other side of the river, a figure was flashing, and then
Valda’s phone rang.
This time, the voice that came through on the phone was
Whitney’s.
“Alright, Valda, it’s time for you to give me the password for withdrawing the funds!”
“How can I ensure that I can pick up Jasper?” Valda asked.
“Okay, let’s do it this way. You sit in the basket, and I’ll start the machine. When the two baskets meet,
I’ll press the stop button. That way, you can naturally hold onto your child and won’t come to me. You’ll stay in the basket the whole time. Then, you tell me the password, and I’ll leave without any trouble. This way, nobody loses, right?” said Whitney.
Is it really that simple? Valda always feels like there might be some kind of conspiracy.
But at the moment, there is no room for her to think too much.
Whitney wants to escape, but it remains to be seen if she can actually get away!
And she, no matter what, had to pick up Jasmine first before doing anything else!
Moreover, Brian and the police can hear their current conversation, so they must have prepared their responses!
“That’s it then.” Valda walked over to the basket and carefully inspected both the inside and outside of it. After all, the previous incident where the bridge was blown up made her aware that Phoebe and
Whitney had explosives in their possession, so she naturally had to be more cautious.
After she sat in the basket, it started moving slowly towards this side of the river after a moment. The basket on the other side of the river also began to move towards here.
When the two baskets met in the air, Whitney did as she had promised and pressed the pause button, causing both baskets to come to a halt.
Valda looked at the tiny baby in the basket, who was none other than Jasmine.
And Jasmine is currently crying loudly.
Valda quickly leaned over and picked up Jasmine from the hanging basket.
“Okay, it’s time for you to tell me your withdrawal password,”
urged Whitney.
Valda then gave out the password, which had been discussed with everyone before departure. As soon as she received Jasmine, she could tell her the password to ease her psychological state.
At that time, the police will naturally react and take her and Jasmine to safety.
After receiving the password, Whitney hung up the phone.
Valda was holding Jasmine and trying to soothe the child to stop crying.
Right now, I don’t know if it’s because I’m hungry or for some other reason, but the baby keeps crying and there’s no sign of stopping.
Not long after, the phone rang again, but this time it was Phoebe calling.
“Valda, thank you so much for bringing us the password. If we have good days ahead, we’ll definitely have to thank you properly. However… it also depends on whether you have the luck to survive,” Phoebe said with a sinister tone.
Valda’s heart sank. As she suspected, it wasn’t going to be that easy!
So what she needs to do now is to try to delay as much as possible. This way, Brian and the police can have a better chance of finding her location and rescuing her and Jasmine.
“You’ve already received the money, why go to such extremes? If you just take the money and leave now, this matter will be over.
But if Jasmine and I don’t survive, do you really think the Reed family and Brian will let you go?” Valda said.
“Hahaha…” Phoebe laughed, “I never said that both you and that child will die. Only one of you will die.”
Valda frowned, “Dead… only one?!”
What does this mean?
But before she could think further, there was a sudden explosion and the rope she was on started shaking violently. Then, the basket became detached and could potentially fall into the river at any moment.
On the other side, the rope began to move slowly, and the basket hanging from it started to sway.
At this moment, the hook on one side of Valda’s basket has completely come off, leaving her with only one hand to hold onto the basket while the other hand is holding her child.
“Valda!” Brian’s voice came from the shore. Valda looked towards the shore and saw Brian with the police, who were preparing to rescue someone in the river.
“Valda, don’t be afraid. Just hold on a little longer, help will be here soon!” Brian said urgently, his face filled with worry and anxiety.
“Okay,” Valda responded, as long as she could hold on a little longer, she and Jasmine would be saved!
Just then, as the police officer was about to dive into the water, his expression suddenly changed and he looked upstream along the river.
Valda also heard the sound that was rushing towards them.
That is… the sound of water!
It’s the sound of a lot of water rushing out!
“Reservoir, the reservoir is releasing water!” someone exclaimed.
Immediately, someone exclaimed, “Damn, who released the water at this time? It’s not the time to release water at all!”
“What should we do? The person is still in the middle of the river, and the water is coming too fast. We don’t have time to rescue them!” someone shouted.
Yes, there’s no time! Valda could even see the water rushing towards them from afar!
At this moment, Brian’s mind went blank. He watched as Valda held onto the half-broken basket with one hand and a crying baby with the other. If anything else happened…
Then both she and the baby would fall into the river!
He had never been so scared before, scared that something would happen to the woman holding the baby. His heart felt like had stopped beating, and even breathing became difficult.
He had never hated anyone so much before. He wished he could chop Phoebe and Whitney into a thousand pieces!
“Basket, hurry! Get on the basket!” Suddenly, someone shouted at Valda.
This voice also brought Brian back to his senses.
That’s right, the basket!
The basket that was originally intersecting with theirs is now moving towards them.
As long as Valda climbs into the basket with the child, they can safely reach the shore before the water from the reservoir reaches them.
But then, Brian’s pupils suddenly shrank, and the voice he was about to shout out got stuck in his throat.
At this moment, Valda doesn’t have any extra hands to climb into the slowly moving basket.
There are only two choices: either she throws the child down and climbs into the basket herself, or she throws the child into the basket first.
The basket is moving and is about to pass the range she can reach.
If she throws the child into the basket first, with the speed of the basket’s movement and the reaction force, she won’t have time to grab onto the basket again.
Valda obviously also thought of this problem at this time.
In fact, it has only been less than ten seconds since the basket she was riding in was detached.
Time does not allow her to think too much!
And now, she also understands why Phoebe said that she and the child could not both survive.
Because… only one person can enter the suspended basket.
Or it could be herself, or it could be Trista!
And the decision-making power is entirely in her own hands.
If she were to abandon Jasmine at this moment, Grace would be heartbroken, and the Reed family would inevitably be shrouded in darkness in the future. Brian would live in self-blame and pain for the rest of his life because he would feel that it was his fault that
Jasmine lost her life! He would feel responsible for Grace losing her daughter.
She doesn’t want Brian to live in that kind of pain.
These days, she has seen too much self-blame and guilt in Brian… The pain that is reflected in his eyes has gradually imprinted itself on her heart, bit by bit.
And she didn’t want him to be upset like this anymore!
Valda quickly used the remaining time to throw the baby in her arms towards the hanging basket, hoping that Jasmine could be saved.
At least she completed her tasks well today and picked up Jasmine without any issues.
At the moment she threw the baby into the cradle, the cradle moved out of Valda’s reach, and she could no longer catch the moving cradle.
Then, she heard a hoarse shout coming from the shore, it was
