Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 122

Earlier Molly had comforted herself, but now when the man stood at the door, she was so scared that she even forgot to breathe.

She just bit her lip and kept her eyes wide open.

In contrast, Shirley was unruffled.

From a young age, she'd had many horrifying experiences, especially during her time under the XK Intelligence Agency. Thus perhaps she wasn't afraid in the current misfortune.

"Little Molly, don't be afraid. I'm here with you," Shirley comforted in a soft voice, sensing Molly was very frightened.

Biting her lip, Molly turned her head to look at Shirley. As their eyes met, Shirley put on a smile for her. It calmed Molly down slightly. Lately, in her darkest hours, it seemed she always had heard someone say those same words.

But from different people the words gave her mixed feelings. Overbearing, mischievous, and insincere attitudes, she always read in those words. They made her feel unreal. But Shirley sounded genuine and her words were reassuring.

Shirley then flashed Molly a big smile. While fixing her eyes on the man at the door, she tried to untie the rope which bound their hands.

The strong, tall man turned on the light and walked into the room. Immediately, Molly and Shirley realized he was a foreigner. They stared, not knowing what to expect.

"It seems I am the target," Shirley muttered in confusion.

After she heard Shirley, Molly gnashed her teeth, held back her fear and bravely said,"Aunt Shirley, as you said just now, we are in this together. Come what may."

Shirley smiled, seeming not to care that she was in danger, even as the foreigner approached. And she was impressed by Molly's fortitude.

Liking a person was a simple thing. But what she felt towards Molly was more than that.

"Gary, our boss asked you to take her to meet him!" Someone outside the room said with a foreign accent. Shirley and Molly realized there was one more foreigner of medium build standing at the door.

Looking at the second man who was about to come in, Shirley calmly said in their language,"No matter who you are, you had better let go of us. Otherwise, your actions will have serious consequences!"

Gary sneered, casting her a cold glance as he thought about Shirley's recklessness. She was in danger and still dared to threaten them. He suddenly stretched out his hand and gripped Molly's arm to pull her up.

"Ah!"

Molly screamed in pain as she was pulled up. Gary noticed the rope, which was used to tie their hands together, had loosened.

"Do you want to escape? No way! We will never even let you get the slightest chance!" Gary said with much more sarcasm in his voice. At the same time, he raised his big fist in front of Shirley. Shirley knew she might be seriously injured if he hit her with the fist.

"It was only out of instinct that I tried to untie the rope!" Shirley said calmly as she tried to rise from the ground, where she was sitting in an awkward and uncomfortable position. The rope rubbed their sore hands, which made them wreathe in pain.

Molly couldn't understand well what Shirley and Gary talked about. A sharp stab of pain shot through her right arm which Gary rudely grabbed as she and Shirley struggled to stand up. "Aunt Shirley..."

"Little Molly, don't be afraid!" Shirley comforted. At this moment, she wasn't certain whom those men wanted to harm. In the beginning, she thought they just intended to abduct and attack her, but now she had a hunch that Molly was their target.

It looked like the men bore a grudge against Molly. Shirley also wondered why they had abducted Molly. Gary, in particular, proved extremely cruel and aggressive. It was becoming obvious he was a member of a vicious criminal gang, to which he was answerable. 'Are they doing all this just to get back at Brian?'

While Shirley was mulling over this, she heard the man outside say to Gary,"Take both of them away! It might bring us trouble if we leave this woman here!"

"Okay!" After the reply, Gary gave Shirley a contemptuous gaze. He seemed to tell Shirley she made trouble for herself.

Immediately, they dragged Shirley and Molly out of the room. Outside, Shirley and Molly realized they had been locked in the underground storage room of the stadium.

Slightly, Shirley furrowed her eyebrows. The abductors must be well-connected to carry out such a daring act, abducting their victims in a public stadium, dazing and dragging them to such a conspicuous place. They might be working in cohort with a very powerful criminal gang. They also might have figured out how to lure Antonio away from Shirley and Molly before the audacious act. If their original target was Molly, they must have intended to take her away, leaving Shirley behind!

"Ger in the car!" Gary roared as he pushed the two into the navy blue car.

After getting in the car, Shirley quickly glanced at the equipment and people inside. Except for Gary and the other man they had met earlier, there were four other men inside the car. The devices there seemed very sophisticated. In this case, it might be difficult for Antonio to find them in a short time!

The car was just started when two of the men pulled out black swathes to blindfold their captives.

"What are you... Hmmm..." Molly was about to say something, but one of the men put a wad of cloth into her mouth, stifling out her words.

Without saying anything, Shirley just let them blindfold her. At this moment, she had to be calm. If their target was Molly, they might do a lot of cruel things to such a beautiful lady. Rape might be included.

Shirley gently pinched Molly's hand, trying to calm her. Then she tried her best to mark the approximate speed at which they were moving, the number of the straight road sections and the numbers of the corners that the car turned.

It was very late at night. People across the city were still excited about Park Shin Chun's concert.

Without informing Brian about the situation, Antonio secretly contacted the XK Intelligence Agency. After that, he quickly made a call to his contact in the Shadow Organization. Although he hadn't worked for the Shadow Organization for many years, he was the bodyguard of the organization's boss before. With this identity, he was highly regarded within the organization's ranks.
