Although the trafficker only revealed a part of that stuff, the driver recognized it as a gun!
He was stunned to know that those traffickers had guns!
The driver's face instantly went pale and he shivered all over. He looked at them in fear, and his lips kept trembling. He seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't make a sound, as if his throat had been grasped tightly.
"It's pointless in wasting time with him. He must have been scared by you and won't do anything to hinder our plan," another trafficker said.
The trafficker who threatened the driver nodded. "OK, let's go."
He turned around again and took Sydney to Burton.
After they walked away, the driver finally breathed a sigh of relief. He slumped down on the ground and patted his chest, which was still heaving up and down rapidly. He was glad that he was still alive.
Upon seeing the two traffickers coming with Sydney, Burton waved his hands and said, "Let’s go."
Then they climbed over the fence and walked towards a path leading to the mountain.
A few minutes after they left, Julien appeared next to their abandoned van.
When he looked at the empty van, his heart sank.
Where was Sydney?
He was sure this must be that unlicensed van, but there was no one in it.
Julien clenched his fists and his face darkened.
He galloped all the way and finally arrived here, thinking that he could see Sydney.
However, there was only an empty van!
"Bang!”
Julien was unable to suppress his anger anymore, and he directly punched the van with his fist.
Because of his great strength, a small dip appeared on the van's door.
The van sounded an alarm, and the drivers of other cars beside poked their heads out of the window to see what had happened.
When the driver of the car behind the van heard the alarm, a flash of fear appeared in his eyes, and he looked quite hesitant.
However, after a long struggle with himself, his compassion and kindness prevailed.
He held out his hand and waved to Julien." Hi."
Julien looked over. "Are you calling me?"
The driver nodded. "Sir, are you here to save someone?"
Hearing this, Julien knew that this driver might know something. He immediately went over and stood outside the driver's door. "How do you know I'm here to save someone?" "I see you are angry and anxious, so I guess you are here to save the woman who was taken away by those traffickers.'
Julien was sure that the woman described by the driver was Sydney.
He clenched his fists and hurriedly asked," Yes, I'm here to save her. She's my wife. Can you tell me where they took her?"
Since the van was still there without anyone inside, Burton might have abandoned it to leave for fear of being caught up by him.
After all, the van might get stuck in the traffic jam for too long.
"I don’t know where they took her, but I saw that they went this way," the driver said, pointing to the fence that Burton and his subordinates had climbed over.
Julien turned to look at it and saw the path behind the fence. He narrowed his eyes slightly.
That road led to the mountain ahead.
It seemed that they would head toward that mountain.
"I see, thanks a lot. I'll find a chance to repay you." After saying that, Julien glanced at the driver’s license plate and wrote it down. While taking out his mobile phone to call Layden, he climbed over the fence to catch up with Burton.
The phone was quickly connected, and Layden's voice sounded. "I know what you're going to say. I'm enhancing the signal of that phone number now, because the signal in the mountains is too weak and can be easily interrupted. After it's enhanced, I’ll send you the route of Burton and his subordinates."
Layden knew that Burton and his men had abandoned the van and moved toward the mountain. After all, he could hear their conversation through the phone of Burton's subordinate.
Julien was relieved when he heard Cayden say so, and he hung up the phone directly.
Julien's eyes brightened when he heard the word "helicopter".
He instantly came up with an idea.
Since Burton could send a helicopter to the top of the mountain, he could also send one here and intercept them directly at the mountain top.
Burton and his men still had about half an hour to get to the top of the mountain, which was enough for his helicopter to fly over from Port City.
With this in mind, Julien contacted Zach, asking him to arrange this matter, and he himself continued to climb the mountain.
In order to shorten the distance between Burton, Julien didn't follow the path taken by them, but took a rougher one to cut corners.
As a result, after climbing the mountain for a while, Julien looked quite awful. His hair was a mess, and his suit was broken with stains of mud and moss on it.
Besides, there were even some slight scratches on his face. It was obvious that his climbing was not smooth, and he even fell down a few times.
But his efforts paid off. He reached the mountain top only a few minutes behind
Burton.
Julien took out his mobile phone. Seeing that Burton and his men were now on the other side of the mountain top, which was not far from his side, he hurriedly ran over.
After running for a few minutes, Julien saw Burton and his men as well as a woman standing behind two burly men.
Judging from that woman's height, Julien recognized her as Sydney at once.
"Sydney!" Julien shouted directly.
This voice...
Was it Julien?
Sydney, who couldn't see anything under the thick coat, was stunned at first, but then she was pleasantly surprised.
Julien really came to save her!
Hearing Julien's words. Burton and his men quieted down instantly. They all turned around and saw Julien, who was in a total mess, and they couldn't help gasping in surprise.
