Chapter 699: Chapter 44: Jask VS Copernicus (Monthly ticket plus update!)_2 Chapter 699: Chapter 44: Jask VS Copernicus (Monthly ticket plus update!)_2 She was at a crossroads.
But in reality…
she had no choice.
The burly man across the dining table was definitely one of Copernicus’s n.
Whether he had been planted in the security team from the start, or had been turned by Copernicus halfway through, the man holding two Taser stun guns was determined to take the mini-fridge today.
If she cooperated, he would take her with him to et Copernicus.
If she did not cooperate, he would shoot her, stun her, and then leave unimpeded with the mini-fridge.
...
In any case, she, unard, would not be able to protect the mini-fridge.
The thing was Jask’s property to begin with, and she hadn’t planned on protecting it that much.
What concerned her was…
what Jask said yesterday, that today, “the last missing piece of the puzzle” would automatically co into his hands, and therefore he planned to et with Lin Xian for negotiations.
If the mini-fridge was stolen now…
Would it affect Jask’s plan?
Would it impact the negotiations between him and Lin Xian?
Angelica felt it probably would.
“I’ll go with you,” she said.
In a dilemma with seemingly no other options, Angelica chose the slightly more hopeful one.
Sitting by the dining table, she began fiddling with the costics and disguise tools, saying to the mirror:
“Turn over that taller female bodyguard on the floor and lay her by the side of the dining table.
I need to see her face for the disguise.”
The burly man nodded, pocketed the two stun guns, and did as Angelica instructed, laying one of the female bodyguards on the floor as a reference for Angelica.
Gel…
nose bridge…
shadowing…
facelift…
hair dye…
Disguising was second nature to Angelica.
The bodyguard’s uniform was ready to wear, complete with sunglasses, making the disguise easy.
Add to that the “defecting captain” leading the way, and it wasn’t easy to get exposed.
Jask probably couldn’t even dream that the traitor would co from inside.
Less than half an hour’s ti.
Angelica had completed her disguise.
With the sunglasses of the unconscious female bodyguard, donning her clothes, and with a perfected copy of the hairstyle and facial shape, she was virtually indistinguishable from the original.
“You carry that mini-fridge,” she said.
The burly man spoke:
“Walk in front of .
Don’t think about any tricks.
It’s better for both of us.”
Angelica understood she had no room for choice and had to carry the mini-fridge in her arms, walking ahead of the man out the door.
Bang.
The burly man closed the door from outside.
Then, with his hands in his pockets, he followed Angelica into the elevator.
All the way down.
Out the door.
She got into the black Tesla in the passenger seat, and then the burly man started the vehicle and drove away from the Tesla Super Factory without obstruction.
Angelica kept an eye on her surroundings, looking for any chance to escape or fight back.
But in the end, she didn’t find one.
The security team leader’s position here seed quite high; as the vehicle passed, many greeted him, nodding and waving…
until they left the Tesla Super Factory in Donghai City, it was all hopeless; even outside the factory, with the mini-fridge in her arms restricting her movent and the car doors locked by the driver’s side control, she really had no chance to escape.
Let alone…
The burly man was very cautious.
He steered the car with his right hand and his left hand was always holding a Taser stun gun aid at her, frequently warning:
“Don’t play any tricks.
Any abnormal behavior from you, and I’ll stun you and throw you off the car.”
“My employer has made it clear: it doesn’t really matter whether you co along or not.
It won’t affect my paynt.
As long as I can deliver the mini-fridge…
of course, there’s a little difference, but that’s negligible compared to the total amount.”
Before long.
The vehicle arrived at a sowhat old Christian Chapel on the outskirts of town.
The pure white pointed architecture, coupled with the iconic cross on top, was sothing Angelica had seen countless tis abroad, but this was her first ti seeing one in China.
Usually, such structures would not appear in the city centers of China, and if they did exist, they wouldn’t be very nurous or conspicuous, mostly located in these outskirts areas.
This chapel in front of her, with mottled outer walls and many areas showing the red bricks within, windows patched with colorful paper, and so shattered, appeared to be not deserted, yet seldom visited for prayer and worship.
Angelica frowned:
“Copernicus is here?”
The burly man shrugged:
“What the hell is Copernicus?
This chapel only has Jesus and Maria.
Now, leave the mini-fridge in the car and go inside yourself.
My job here is done.”
“What?”
Angelica sensed sothing was off:
“You’re going to take the mini-fridge?
That ans Copernicus isn’t inside at all!
You lured here, what the hell do you want?”
Click.
The burly man pulled out the Taser stun gun from his pocket, pointing it at Angelica:
“Stop talking nonsense, and don’t make repeat myself.
I obviously know who you are, Hollywood’s Chaleon Witch, but this isn’t your turf, you have no choice.”
…
Reluctantly, Angelica placed the mini-fridge on the passenger seat and walked towards the dilapidated chapel.
Reaching the door,
She placed her palm on the old double doors and turned her head back to see the black Tesla carrying the mini-fridge away, kicking up dust in the distance.
