Nell Jennings nodded.
Only then did Nell and Gregory Graham head to the car together.
Nancy Murray had already received Nell’s signal and knew that Nell would find a chance to take care of that Big Brother. Later on, she would just have to wait for Nell to return and then take care of the one left behind together.
Unexpectedly, after a long time, Nancy finally waited for Nell to return.
However, she found that two people walked back.
She was stunned and surprised, and for a moment, she thought that she had misunderstood Nell.
Now, in this situation, she did not know what to do.
Should she continue to do it? Or were they waiting?
Did something change midway?
Nancy sat there with a confused face.
Nell was also helpless and secretly gave Nancy a look. Nancy understood that look, shut her mouth, and did not say anything.
She climbed into the car, and when that brother saw them return, he warmly exchanged pleasantries with Gregory.
Gregory could actually answer him with a fluent dialect. Nell had not felt anything before she knew that Big Brother was Gregory.
Now it just sounded strange no matter how she listened to it.
Her entire body had an odd feeling.
Nancy's heart was already as anxious as ants on a hot pan when she saw Nell’s inability to say anything.
After all, the two of them had found this rare opportunity and thought that they would have escaped by now.
If they did not flee now, when they entered the city, they would really be in a den of thieves. What else could they do then?
After the carriage door was closed, Nancy finally could not hold back, pulled Nell down, and asked in a soft voice, "Nelly, what's going on? You didn't take care of him?"
Nell sighed helplessly.
The matter of Gregory being that Big Brother was too complicated for her to explain at the moment to avoid the other man from overhearing them.
Although she knew that with just the 3 of them, it was simply a matter of minutes to subdue that man.
Since Gregory had already disguised himself as the other man, he must have his intentions and plans, so she did not want to expose his identity.
Therefore, Nell did not say anything. She just shook her head silently and wrote a few words on Nancy’s hand: Calm down, the situation changed.
Nancy was stunned and did not quite understand what Nell meant.
Nell could not explain too much, so she just nodded to her as a signal that they were safe now, and told her not to worry.
Nancy frowned.
Although she still did not quite understand, since Nell had already expressed that the danger was lifted, she could only trust her.
As she thought of this, Nancy did not ask any further questions.
The car swayed, and after about half an hour, they finally entered the city.
Once in the city, Nell felt that the road under the wheels had become much smoother.
It was now 6:30 am and some vendors selling breakfast from roadside stalls were beginning to appear on the streets.
There were sounds of people yelling and rushing to the morning market. It was a bustling atmosphere.
After they had been at that place for so long, this was the first time Nell heard such lively sounds. Her heart, which seemed to have been frozen for a long time, had finally come alive again at this moment.
Previously, in that deserted mountain, the scenery was beautiful, but staying there for a long time made one feel a little bit suffocated by the lack of population.
It was only now that she was out that she felt alive again.
Nell really wanted to see what was going on outside, but the doors of the carriage were still closed, with only a small gap for air, they could not see anything that was happening outside.
There was the sound of the men’s conversation from up ahead.
After being avoided by them, he did not notice their deliberate intentions and just took it as his own inexperience. He laughed all the way and was even a little silly and cute.
He was somewhat different from the kind of vicious human traffickers that Nell had imagined.
After they got out of the car, what was in front of them was a very ordinary countryside building.
The building had 2 floors with 3 rooms on each floor. It was not too big nor too small, but it was clean, so it looked quite decent.
The 4 of them entered the house together. Nell and Nancy were placed in a room, and when they entered, the man was called away by Gregory.
This way, only Nancy and Nell were left in the house.
Nancy had endured the entire way here, and by the time they were finally alone, she immediately asked, "Nelly, what's going on? Why didn't you follow through with the plan? Now that we're in their lair, what do we do?"
Nell looked at Nancy’s nervousness and laughed at once.
She shook her head and said, "Don't worry, because this time we've run into an old acquaintance."
“What old acquaintance?"
Nancy still did not know that Big Brother was Gregory Graham.
Nell then told her the truth.
Nancy listened and stared in shock.
It was hard to think that things would turn out like this.
Nell sighed and said, "We're considered safe for now. I'll talk to him later to go out and contact Gideon. You take care of your injuries at home. As long as we've contacted Gideon, we should be completely safe."
Nancy nodded her head vigorously.
After about half an hour, Gregory and the man returned.
Not only had they come back, but they had also brought back a huge bag of breakfast.
They were all sorts of snacks sold on the streets of the town.
