Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Although Caroline believed in her own abilities, she was too confident in herself. That was why she didn’t even know that the people around her were having second thoughts. She let her guard down and fell into the enemy’s trap.
Therefore, Caroline adhered to the principle of being careful and added another layer of security to her and Danika’s safety.
Caroline took out two short guns. One was placed under the bed, the other in the drawer on the bedside table for emergencies, and the rest were hidden in a secret passage, in case Danika came to clean up the room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt turned out that Caroline’s caution was necessary. After Edwin warned the Taylor family in the afternoon, they thought that they had accidentally barged into the Anderson family’s territory and angered Edwin.
After losing a group of people for nothing, they naturally didn’t dare to seek justice from Edwin. They could only vent their anger on Caroline. Hence, in the middle of the night, they sent out another group of people.
This time, they didn’t take a roundabout route. They directly attacked Caroline’s old apartment at one or two in the morning.
The moment the other party touched the door lock, the entire apartment suddenly rang with a sharp alarm. This was the anti-intrusion alarm that Caroline had specially installed after she moved into the apartment. Once it was opened, the alarm would be triggered if someone touched the door or windows.
As soon as the alarm went off, Caroline woke up immediately. Her eyes were bright and clear as if she had never slept. She immediately got up from the bed and felt for a gun and a magazine on the bedside table.
Her pajamas tonight were sportswear. Caroline stuffed the magazine into her pocket, pulled and released her right hand, and the gun was ready. She opened the window and jumped onto the windowsill agilely like a leopard. She slid down the pipe on the side and hid in a corner of the yard.
Danika, who was only a wall away from her, jumped out of bed in shock when the alarm went off. Fortunately, Caroline had already told her what to do. So, after panicking for a moment, she immediately opened the door and pretended to run out. Then, she ran back into the room, opened a secret passage, and hid inside.
As for the group of people who were about to break in, they had thought that they were only here to deal with a little girl who still smelled of her mother’s milk. They had never expected to encounter such a complicated situation. When the sharp alarm pierced the night sky, everyone was shocked.
The leader was more experienced. He took out a gun from his waist and pointed it at two people. “D*mn it, you two go to the back door and guard it in case she escapes.”
Although the alarm was piercing, this place was too remote. The police would not be able to arrive so soon. So, as long as the person did not run away, they had enough time to deal with her!
Caroline, who had already hidden and was ready to counterattack, didn’t expect to wait for the police’s rescue. She used that short few seconds of time difference.
Seeing that they had opened the apartment door and were about to enter the courtyard, Caroline raised the gun in her hand and aimed at the head of the person in the lead. Just as she was about to pull the trigger, there was a faint muffled sound. The man fell to the ground and she was stunned.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSomeone had made a move before her! Caroline’s sharp eyes looked at the empty house across the road. Only a professional sniper could shoot such a long distance with such accuracy.
While she was still in a daze, the four or five people who had entered the courtyard had already fallen to the ground one after another. They didn’t even have time to react before they were all annihilated. It could be seen that there was more than one sniper on the other side.
Caroline had a vague guess in her heart, but she was not sure. She shrank back immediately. She didn’t know if the people in front of her were friends or enemies, but since they had already killed for her, she didn’t need to reveal her skills.
There was no longer any movement from the front and back of the house. The person who ran to the back door must have been dealt with. Caroline bit her gun and climbed back to the master bedroom on the second floor through the pipe under the cover of the building.
The alarm in the room finally stopped ringing, which meant that everything that had just happened, from the time the alarm went off to the time when everyone was cleaned up and she climbed back into the bedroom, only took a minute.
Caroline was still holding her gun. She casually pulled on a piece of clothing and wiped the sweat off her head. The phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.
“Don’t be afraid, it’s fine.” In the darkness, Edwin’s reassuring voice came from the other side of the phone.
