Chapter 797: Escaping After Innumerable Trials and Hardships
Helen was in an unfavorable position. The best course of action would be to leave with her three subordinates up the stairs and abandon the three injured team members here, but that would discourage her subordinates.
Noises of banging came from inside the elevator. It seemed that Dong Ni wanted to escape and was trying to force open the elevator doors.
Helen had no intention of helping Dong Ni, hoping he could save himself. Her attention was focused on dealing with Gu Fan. Perhaps Gu Fan was waiting for her to rescue Dong Ni so he could seize the opportunity to attack.
At this moment, Qiao Ya radioed in with a report: he discovered a large hole with signs of recent excavation, presumed to be the doing of Gu Fan and his team.
Qiao Ya thought that Gu Fan, Su Hui, and David besides collecting the research materials might have also taken some equipment. However, while Gu Fan was still here, Su Hui and David had already taken the research materials and equipment away.
Knowing this, Helen was somewhat anxious. She disliked this passive situation. Her initial plan was to seize Gu Fan no matter what Su Hui and David took. With him, she could threaten Su Hui. But now, not only could she not capture Gu Fan, but she could also be potentially defeated.
Thinking quickly, Helen called in her two guards from outside through the radio. They were to help transport the injured, while she was responsible for preventing any surprise attacks from Gu Fan.
Helen thought, the two men could carry the injured out one by one. Even though it took a little more time, it could stabilize their position because if they were to carry all three injured members simultaneously, their attention would be divided and they could easily be ambushed by Gu Fan because of the lack in focus.
At this moment, Gu Fan, through the walkie-talkie, understood what Helen planned to do. He acknowledged that it was indeed a good countermeasure. He also knew that once Helen escaped, she would come up with other ways to deal with him.
