“It’s…it’s quite a coincidence to see you here, Mason,” Daniel said with a fake smile.
“Where’s Veronica?” Mason suddenly asked in a stern voice.
Daniel pretended to look confused. “Veronica? How would I know? Isn’t she your girlfriend, Mason?”
“Daniel, you don’t have to act in front of me. The last call on her phone was from you, and you were the last person she was supposed to meet before she disappeared!” Mason said, not as a question but as a statement.
Daniel panicked inside. Mason’s words meant that he had already investigated.
But when did he investigate?
Damn it, Mason shouldn’t have known about Veronica’s disappearance now. He should have waited for
Veronica to show up and waited until the moment of explosion to understand everything!
“I…I don’t know what you mean. I did make a call because she kept pestering me to drop the charges. I just told her not to bother me anymore, but I never met her,” Daniel argued.
“Is that so? Then why were her fingerprints found in your residence, and why did someone see her enter your house yesterday?” Mason said.
Daniel’s face immediately changed. Fingerprints? He had already cleaned everything in the house.
And which neighbor saw Veronica?
He thought everything was foolproof, but facing Mason’s questioning at the moment, he felt extremely guilty, as if everything had been exposed.
“I…I haven’t seen Veronica. I don’t know why you say there are her fingerprints in my house,” Daniel could only deny repeatedly.
Anyway, Mason doesn’t have any evidence now. As long as he finds a chance to escape later, he will be safe!
“Do you think you can escape?” Mason seemed to have guessed his thoughts and asked directly, “The text message you sent me from Veronica’s phone last night, was it you?”
Daniel was suddenly stunned, staring at Mason in disbelief, “You–”
“The high school campus will be demolished tomorrow, and there are many memories there. Can you accompany me to see the last campus? After all, we have too many emotions there,” Mason suddenly said.
Daniel’s expression became even more subtle. He knew that this was a sentence he had sent to
Mason in the text message.
“If this message was really sent by her, she would never say ‘too many emotions there’,” Mason said, because Veronica knew that after hypnosis, those so-called emotions were no longer there, only memories remained.
However, Daniel didn’t know this. He sent this text message with the aim of appealing to Mason’s emotions and making him come here.
“So, I’ll ask you one last time, where is Veronica?!” Mason asked coldly.
“I don’t know!” Daniel insisted that he didn’t know.
“Since you want me to come here so much, then…she should be here, right?” Mason said, looking towards the old school building that was about to be demolished, and then said to the leader of the police on this side, “Captain Kenyon, please search the old school building to see if anyone is still inside.”
“Okay,” Captain Kenyon responded and prepared to arrange for people to enter the old school building.
Seeing this situation, Daniel immediately panicked. After all, he had tied Veronica up in the old school building. If they went in to search, they would immediately find Veronica.
As soon as Veronica was found, all his crimes would be exposed. Everything he had done would be meaningless, and he might even be charged with attempted murder.
Why? Why did his carefully planned scheme turn out like this? Which step went wrong?!
Because Captain Kenyon was going to lead the team inside to search, the planned explosion naturally stopped.
And at this moment, Mason’s phone rang, indicating a new text message.
Daniel knew that the timed message that was supposed to be sent from Veronica’s phone, which he had set up, was meant to be a message that would provoke Mason. But now it had become a mistake.
Mason looked down at the message on his phone and his face suddenly changed. While everyone’s attention was temporarily focused on Mason, Daniel took advantage of the distraction and suddenly took out a remote control he was wearing and pressed the button hard.
The next moment, Daniel was pushed down to the ground by the police around him, and the remote control in his hand fell to the ground.
The police picked up the remote control and asked Daniel, “What is this? What were you doing just now?”
“Hahaha…hahaha…” Daniel laughed wildly, even though his body was firmly pressed to the ground by others, he still desperately lifted his head and stared at Mason, “I want you to regret it! I want you to regret it for a lifetime! It was you who made me lose so much, so I want you to taste the feeling of losing too!”
Mason stared at Daniel, “Speak clearly!”
“Okay, then listen carefully!” Daniel opened his mouth fiercely with a grimace on his face, “Veronica is locked in the school auditorium, and what I just pressed was the button to explode it!”
As his words fell, a burst of explosions suddenly sounded in the old school building, and with the sound of the explosion, a building on one side of the campus also collapsed.
The personnel responsible for the explosion were now in a panic, “I…I didn’t do anything, I didn’t detonate it!”
Daniel’s face was twisted with a smile. He had the detonation device in addition to the demolition personnel, so…soon, Veronica would be buried in this old school building.
Mason’s face turned pale in an instant, and his gaze went straight to the auditorium. Although the explosion just now was not in the auditorium, if it continued to explode…
“Stop it quickly, find a way to stop the explosion!” Mason shouted.
“We…we can’t stop it! The stop button is not working.” The personnel stuttered.
The police had already handed over the control switch obtained from Daniel to the personnel, but it was useless.
“Quickly, how do we stop it!” The police sternly reprimanded Daniel.
“It’s impossible to stop it. Once the explosion starts, it can’t be stopped! Mason, Veronica is doomed! She will die, all because of your relationship! She died because of you! Haha, what good is your money now? You can’t bring people back to life, and you can’t stop this explosion…”
Daniel continued to shout, but Mason couldn’t hear him anymore. In his ears, there was only the terrifying sound of the explosion and the constant sound of the old building collapsing. His eyes were fixed on the direction of the auditorium.
Suddenly, there were cries of alarm around him. “Mason! Don’t go in!”
Mason rushed towards the restricted area, but security personnel and police quickly stopped him. “You can’t go in, it’s too dangerous!”
But as Mason’s figure swayed, all those who tried to stop him were left empty-handed.
Just as someone was about to grab him, they felt a force kick them, and they fell heavily backwards.
The person they were trying to stop, Mason, had already rushed into the campus area.
The police and the Reed family’s security personnel were all stunned.
Who would have thought that Mason would rush in knowing that the explosion couldn’t be stopped?
And the Reed family’s security personnel only remembered at this moment that when they chatted with their senior colleagues who had worked at the Reed family for a long time, they had talked about
Mason’s skills.
Mason’s skills were definitely not something an ordinary person could compare to.
At that time, they thought their senior colleagues were joking or flattering.
Now, it turns out that they were telling the truth!
Just the dodging and the kick he delivered earlier were enough to prove Mason’s skills.
The crowd wanted to chase inside, but then there was another explosion. Immediately after, another building collapsed with a loud crash, scattering dust and debris, causing the people’s footsteps to pause.
What should they do in this situation? Should they follow and
The chance of survival is too small once hit by the exploding debris!
How many people in this world dare to do this?!
Mason kept running towards the auditorium. At this moment, he didn’t even have time to analyze whether what Daniel said was true or false. All he could think about was whether Veronica was really being held by Daniel in the auditorium.
His thoughts had almost become blank, leaving only a kind of instinctive action.
At the same time, Veronica finally broke the rope that bound her wrists. Her hands were already full of wounds, and many of the wounds were still bleeding.
Due to the long period of binding, her body had become sluggish and even numb.
But at this moment, she could no longer care about the various discomforts of her body. She had to escape from here as soon as possible.
She had already heard two loud explosions just now, and after each explosion, there was the sound of a building collapsing.
The interval between the two explosions was not long, at most about 30 seconds, less than a minute.
So the next explosion should happen soon. Perhaps the next one to be bombed would be this auditorium!
Veronica stumbled towards the door, but the more she tried to speed up, the more uncoordinated her feet became.
Just then, the third explosion sounded loudly. Immediately after, the ground shook violently again, and
Veronica leaned to one side and fell heavily to the ground.
She was lucky that although the explosion was very close, it did not come from the auditorium where she was.
Boom!
That was the sound of another building collapsing.
Veronica felt like her eardrums were about to burst.
The walls around her were rapidly cracking, and large chunks of cement were falling from the ceiling.
Veronica realized that the auditorium was also very dangerous now. Even if there was no explosion, it could collapse at any moment.
She had to hurry and escape!
But her legs felt weak and powerless.
Veronica lifted her hand and hit her leg hard. Finally, she
Just as she was about to reach the door, a piece of cement fell from the ceiling and hit Veronica’s shoulder, causing her to fall to the ground again due to the inertia of gravity.
Her shoulder was completely… powerless!
Veronica lay on the ground, gasping for breath, not knowing if her shoulder bones were crushed.
The pain was too intense, and she didn’t even have the strength to stand up.
And even if she could stand up now, with her shoulder like this, she wouldn’t have the strength to push open that door.
It seemed that she was really going to die here, just as Daniel had said!
