Chapter 722 – Revenge Journey of a Twins’ Mother

Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free

Even so, she probably never thought that her daughter would be trapped here, right?

Without any hesitation, Nora picked up the tiny box, turned around, and shouted, “Run!”

As soon as she shouted, the man in black rushed right up to her. He reached out to grab the box in her hand.

Nora dodged and shouted, “If we stay any longer, we will all die here!”

Despite that, the man stood right at the door and sneered, “You two can forget about leaving if you don’t give me that!”

The countdown reached ten seconds!

The walls of the room with the safes were forged from steel to prevent people from breaking in and stealing things. There weren’t any windows but only a metal door.

With the man standing guard at the door, it was impossible for the two of them to escape!

At the critical moment, Justin suddenly snatched the metal box from Nora and threw it to the left of the door. He shouted, “Here, you can have it!”

The man stepped aside without any hesitation to grab the box.

Nora frowned.

The timing was too tight, she didn’t have any time to swap the box’s contents at all. The metal box was still the one that she’d just taken out and the V16 might be in it.

She didn’t dare to take any chances!

Just as she was about to rush over to grab it back, Justin grabbed her arm and she was thrown out the door with great force.

Thud!

By the time Nora fell to the ground, Justin had already grabbed the metal box before the other man. He flung it out the door without any hesitation!

And then…

Before Nora could get back up, both the man in black and Justin raced madly towards the door.

Justin looked at Nora.

They were out of time.

The countdown turned from one to zero.

Boom!

The room exploded.

Waves of heat spread swiftly from the metal safe to the door…

All Nora could see was the heat waves hit Justin and the man in black from the back. The two of them were only one step away from the metal door!

He wouldn’t be able to get out in time…

Upon realizing this, Nora sprung off the floor and rushed straight to the metal door!

With the door in between them, she and Justin looked at each other.

Suddenly, the corners of Justin’s lips curled upward. At the last moment, he suddenly slammed the metal door shut!

“Noooo!”

Nora screamed!!

Justin… He was still in there!!!

He wasn’t out yet!!

But the only thing that she heard was the click of the lock that came from beyond the big metal door, as well as the rumbling explosion inside…

A metal door separated the two worlds.

Nora used all her might to kick and stomp at the door, but she simply couldn’t open it. She could only watch helplessly as the fire in the room got bigger and bigger.

The explosion also finally attracted the security officers’ attention, who immediately called the firefighters.

Nora stared at the door.

Her countenance remained calm and collected the whole time. Even when people started rushing to the scene, she rationally slipped the metal box into her pocket.

Soon, the fire was put out. The firemen finally pried open the door and rushed in.

Everything inside had been blown up and burned to ashes. On the ground lay a charred, unrecognizable corpse with only the bones left.

There was only one corpse… This filled Nora with hope.

The man in black and Justin had both been inside, so how could there be only one corpse?

Right away, she looked at Morris, who had come over upon hearing the news, and said, “Do a DNA check.”

Morris didn’t have Justin’s DNA data.

However, Nora did. In order to do a comparison with Xander’s DNA, she had even retrieved samples again. Thus, Lily had accurate data of his DNA.

Morris nodded at her request.

Some people also came to investigate why they were in the bank late at night and even bombed it.

However, Sean promised to compensate the bank for all their losses while Morris also said that Nora was the special department’s legal adviser, so it was perfectly normal for her to come over and conduct investigations.

With that, news of the incident was suppressed

Nora went straight to the special department together with the dead body.

When she returned once more to the familiar place, all the people around her who had once wronged her felt so guilty that they didn’t dare to face her.

When Brenda heard the news, she rushed over and looked at her in disbelief. “Nora, i-is that Justin?”

“No, it isn’t.”

Nora sounded certain, but she didn’t know whether she was saying that to Brenda or to herself. She said, “There’s only one corpse, it can’t be him…”

Brenda also nodded when she heard this. She said, “That’s right, that’s definitely not Justin, Nora. Justin has always been mysterious, and he’s always so secretive about everything he does. Also, ever since he was abducted when he was five, he always brings more than twenty bodyguards with him. There’s no way anything would happen to someone who fears death as much as he does…”

Despite saying that, her voice gradually became choked up.

Even Brenda didn’t quite believe what she was saying

If that wasn’t Justin, then where did he go? Didn’t he know that Nora and his children were waiting for him to come back?

Why hadn’t he shown up yet?

But she couldn’t say that, much less did she dare to. In fact, she was just holding out a glimmer of hope that the body was not Justin’s!

Upon hearing this, Morris glanced at Brenda.

The woman, who had always been exquisitely dressed, looked a little like she was in a mess at the moment, which went to show how flustered she was due to her involvement with the matter.

He took a deep breath and sent the bones to the lab.

While waiting for the result, in order to relieve some of the pressure on Nora and Brenda, Morris asked, “Nora, you said just now that the two of you met a man in black when you two went to the bank to take something. In order to save you, Mr. Hunt locked himself in the room with the man in black, right? If so, then why was there only one dead body at the scene?”

Nora looked at him.

Morris explained to her cautiously, “This can only point to one thing—there must be other passages out of that room! I have already gotten my men to look into it. If other passages exist, then Mr. Hunt should be fine.”

Nora nodded. “Yes, that’s exactly it.”

Seeing that she looked somewhat flustered, Morris let out a soft sigh. Suddenly, he asked, “So, did you get what you wanted to take from the bank?”

Did she get it?

Nora raised her head slightly and stared at Morris. A while later, she shook her head lightly and replied, “It was taken away by the man in black. He was waiting at the bank precisely because he wanted to take it from us…”

Her voice became softer and softer toward the end. One could hear dejection in her voice.

At this moment, Morris’ cell phone rang.

After he answered, a touch of joy came over his expression. He looked at Nora and said, “They really found a tunnel in the room! So, Mr. Hunt really may have left from that tunnel!”

However, Nora’s heart instead sank when she heard him.

Sure enough, there really was a tunnel in the bank. In that case, who had dug the tunnel?

While she was contemplating, chaotic footsteps suddenly came from the door of the lab. Herman’s furious roar then came over.

“What’s going on? What exactly has happened to Justin?!”

Before Nora could speak, Lauren said reproachfully, “Ms. Smith, why did the two of you go to the bank in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? Why was there an explosion? I heard that this only happened to Justin because he wanted to save you? Who exactly have you offended? Why did this happen?!” Herman’s eyes were all red. It was obvious that he was heartbroken and devastated over what had happened to Justin. He stared at Nora and demanded, “C’mon, talk! What’s going on?!”

Nora clenched her jaw.

She did not explain, but Sean, who was next to her, said, “It’s Mr. Hunt who invited Ms. Smith to the bank. He wanted to show her some of the things he’d prepared for their wedding, but he did not expect to encounter a robber…”

Sean also lowered his head. “Ms. Smith has nothing to do with any of it.”

“She doesn’t? How can it have nothing to do with her?!” Lauren yelled furiously, “If it wasn’t for the wedding, would he have gone to the bank in the middle of the night? And end up giving the robbers a chance? In my opinion, Nora jinxes the Hunts! Ever since she appeared, the Hunts have been really unlucky!”

Her words made Herman feel even worse.

Nora’s eyes were still lowered and she did not speak. She was still re-enacting in her mind everything that had happened earlier.

Everything had been such a blur that even now, she still hadn’t figured out what exactly had happened.

The man in black had only appeared at the bank because he followed her there. In that case, how come Justin also showed up at the bank? On top of that, he even happened to be in the room where the safe-deposit boxes were?

Had he done the same thing as her? Because he knew that it was dangerous, he didn’t want to drag Nora into it?

While she was thinking, Herman sat on the bench next to her.

Lauren supported Herman by the arm. “Herman, you must hang in there. Justin is no longer around. If something also happens to you, what are the Hunts going to do?”

Upon hearing this, Herman immediately understood something. He straightened his back abruptly and said, “You’re right, I mustn’t collapse. Now that Justin is gone, I’m the only one who can handle the Hunts now…”

Lauren nodded. “A kingdom mustn’t go without a king for a day. Similarly, the Hunts mustn’t be missing a president either. Now that Justin’s fate is unknown, you have to bear responsibility for the family and the company!”
