Chapter 1039


    Although Carl found the call suspicious, he knew Be was the kind of woman who would never use an


    expression as dramatic as "extremely urgent’.


    And why would she contact him through thepany line when she had his personal number?


    This person was likely an imposter, pretending to be Be.


    But how did she know about Be''s rtionship with the boss?


    Upon hearing the name “Arabe”, Romeo gestured to pause the meeting and took the corporate


    phone from Carl.


    “Hello, is this Mr. McMillian? I''m Be''s friend, Mya. She''s in trouble.” Mya hurriedly exined the


    situation to him.


    “Alright, I understand.” After hanging up, Romeo immediately stood up and left, his presence


    The people in the conference room looked at each other in confusion until Carl spoke, “The meeting is


    adjourned for today."


    Seeing Carl about to leave, the director nervously grabbed his hand and whispered, “Carl, did I say


    something wrong? This month''s profit is not as high asst month''s because Mr. McMillian invested in


    several ces, and...


    “Mr. McMillian just had an urgent matter to attend to. No need to worry."


    Relieved by Carl''s words, the director breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought his data or presentation


    had displeased Mr. McMillian.


    Romeo had previously given Be a ck hair clip that could track her location. Now, he opened the


    tracking app on his phone and saw she was heading towards Mount North.


    Just as Mya had said, Be was heading alone to the top of Mount North, probably walking into an


    ambush.


    Although he was worried about Be''s safety, knowing that he was the first person she thought of in a


    dangerous situation, his heart warmed, and he hurried towards her direction.

    As soon as Be reached the top of Mount North, bullets began to rain down on her. She swiftly


    dodged them and nced around to see she was surrounded.


    Some people were hiding in the trees, others behind rocks, and arge group of masked men were


    lined up in front of her.


    They had mobilized a lot of people to capture her.


    Be stood in an open area with no cover, making her an easy target, vulnerable to gunfire.


    Despite this, she raised her head and coldly asked, “Where is my friend?"


    “You should worry about yourself."


    The masked man leading the group spoke through a voice changer, sounding as cold as ice.


    They threw several smoke bombs at her. Be recognized the purple smoke as poisonous. She


    covered her nose and mouth and quickly retreated. The bullets fired at her through the smoke missed


    their target.


    When the smoke cleared, Be was nowhere to be found. As they searched for her, Be had already


    sneaked behind them. She knocked a few out, seized their weapons, and taken one of them hostage.


    “Where is my friend?” Be asked, her eyes cold.


    “You do have some skills.” The leaderughed heartily and shot the man Be was holding hostage.


    Be hadn''t expected him to harm his own man.


    “Don''t worry, your friend will be waiting for you in the hell” The masked manughed eerily. “If you''re


    smart, you''lle back with us obediently, or else, your friend will die a painful death."
