Female Novel
Chapter 647
Meanwhile, Joyce flashed into a private room from the corridor on the third floor, then from the back
door on the other side of the private room, into another corridor. Finally, she went along the usual
delivery channel and got directly down to the backyard on the first floor.
She had previously studied the architectural drawings of the interior of Riveria Haze carefully in order to
set Charlotte up, which Karl had given her. She did it just to have a quick retreat just in case, and she
didn't expect it to really come in handy.
Riveria Haze was so big inside that they would not be able to find her for a while.
When she got to the backyard, she saw Karl's car parked right there.
She rushed over, opened the passenger door and got in quickly.
"Sorry, I’m late for a few minutes. What..."
Before Joyce could finish her words, Karl had already slammed down the gas pedal, not even waiting
for Joyce to fasten her seat belt.
With a swoosh he turned the car around sharply and drove out of Riveria Haze.
His expression was extraordinarily grave, and his handsome face now looked extremely serious. His
long eyebrows was deeply furrowed. It was obviously not something the word urgency could describe.
Joyce's body lurched straight forward because of inertia.
Karl extended his arm in time to block Joyce, "Sorry, we don’t have much time. Hurry up and fasten
your seat belt."
He said as he drove the car onto the expressway.novelbin
Joyce fastened her seat belt and felt Karl's extraordinarily depressed mood, so she hurriedly expressed
her concern, "What's wrong?"
"Joyce, something big has happened. Just now, the analysis center in Khebury has been blown up.
Fortunately, it's a weekend, otherwise I don't dare to think how many lives would have been lost. The
news should have come out already. Read it for yourself!"
"What!" Joyce hurriedly opened her phone and clicked into a news app.
Sure enough, the headlines had been all about the explosion.
"Creekbay Forensic Center Exploded At Twelve With Unknown Casualties."
As a rule of thumb, the fewer words they used, the more serious the situation must be.
"Damn, I underestimate him." Karl bit his lower lip, "I happened to have some business to attend to
today and sent Victor to pick up the results. I didn't expect something like this."
"Victor?! And where is he?" Joyce was taken aback and turned her head to stare straight at Karl. Her
heartbeat raced as she suddenly realized that the whole thing had risen to another level.
Karl sighed heavily, "We still don’t know whether he’s alive!"
Joyce was stunned and at this time he abruptly turned the wheel and went to another off-ramp.
He continued, "We won’t go the main roads this time so as not to reveal our whereabouts. I am worried
that Ricky might try to harm you. Perhaps someone had already been waiting for you at Riveria Haze,
or perhaps someone would be sent to assassinate you. That’s why I was in such a hurry to pick you up
after I learned about the explosion."
"After all, you're in the light and they're in the dark." He accelerated once again.
Joyce had some difficulty digesting what she heard.
"Are you saying that Ricky is behind this?!"
She could hardly believe that Ricky could be so ruthless. After all, he was in the military, so how could
he do something so reckless? He must have known the consequences of the explosion. It was nothing
short of a terrorist attack.
"There is no one else but him." Karl affirmed, "He must have learned about our purchase of the AWM
gun through special channels. I just didn't expect that he would dare to blow up the laboratory just in
order to destroy the evidence of his crime. The staff in the lab must have all been killed, and the AWM
must have been destroyed. We can’t reach Victor now, but I think…”
