"What does it mean?"
"When I was boarding the plane, I received a signal flare sent by Ran. If I'm not mistaken, Ran is in trouble. Knowing that rascal's cowardly nature, he might have already given me up under torture. You know that Leonard's woman is Sally's disciple. If he finds out about my infiltration into the southern country, Leonard will definitely intervene in my plan. So I can't meet with you now, it's too dangerous."
Ravenwood said, "Let's meet and talk, I can help you."
There was silence for a long time.
Freya realized from Lady's words that this woman was very suspicious by nature and not easily trusting of others. Even towards Ravenwood, there was not a hundred percent trust given.
"How about this, I'll give you a location, you drive here, and I'll have someone pick you up." After a long time, Lady Lady finally compromised.
Ravenwood said, "Alright, I'll wait for your message."
After the call ended, Ravenwood received a text message.
"365 West Lane Street, come here first."
Freya looked at the text message and fell into deep thought.
According to what Lady said on the phone, she probably did not know about her own plan yet. It was just the signal flare that exposed Ran's identity that made her worry that Bradley would come after her, so she chose to hide.
But if Lady keeps hiding, things will be very difficult.
Therefore, all her hopes now lie with Ravenwood.
"My Lord Count, go and meet Lady Lady, make sure to find a way to get her back to the palace to see the Queen, I will handle the rest."
Among all the members of the Royal Family, Ravenwood is probably the most trusted person by Lady.
After all, he is a puppet that she can control at will, she would never suspect that Ravenwood has already betrayed her.
"Don't worry, I will make her come back willingly." Ravenwood said.
Since he had already decided to redeem himself with his actions, he would personally capture Lady and make this woman pay the price for what she had done. After finalizing the plan, Count Ravenwood immediately set off. After sending the location to Bradley, Freya followed closely behind. At this moment, a helicopter slowly landed in a clearing near the palace, and Bradley had just gotten off the plane when he received a message from Freya. 'The plan has changed, bring people to 365 West Lane, we will meet there.' Bradley narrowed his eyes fiercely, but quickly ordered, "Prepare the car!" After leaving the Count's residence, Freya always kept a proper distance behind. The car shuttled through the alleys, not knowing how many corners it turned before finally stopping near a deserted courtyard. Freya clearly saw the door number on the wall, this was the agreed location with Lady, 365 West Lane.
Ravenwood got off the car, and suddenly a person rushed out from the courtyard, respectfully nodded towards him and said, "My lord, please!" After speaking, he carefully looked around to make sure no one was following, and then led Ravenwood into the courtyard. Freya, worried about being discovered, parked the car at the corner. When the bodyguard came out, she hid again, so no one noticed her presence. After Ravenwood went in, she approached cautiously. However, the inside was empty, with no sign of anyone. Where are the people? Freya frowned deeply, she clearly saw two people enter from here! Realizing something was wrong, she quickly searched all around. It seemed like this place had been abandoned for many years, covered with cobwebs everywhere, and the tables inside were coated with a thick layer of dust. After a thorough search, Freya did not find any trace of people coming and going.
The entire courtyard has no other exit except for the main gate.
Could it be... there is a secret passage here?
Just as she was thinking about it, footsteps suddenly came from outside. Freya was about to hide when she saw Bradley leading a group of people breaking in.
"Freya."
Seeing her dodging figure, Bradley called out.
It was only at this moment that Freya turned around. When she saw that it was Bradley, she happily rushed towards him, "How did you get here so fast?"
Bradley held her and said in a hoarse voice, "When you texted me, I was nearby. It's only about twenty minutes away."
Freya nodded, then left the man's embrace and urgently said, "I followed Ravenwood here, but she mysteriously disappeared. I just searched all around, and there is no exit other than the main gate, so I suspect that there may be a hidden passage here."
Since Lady could arrange to meet Ravenwood here, it indicates that this is one of her bases.
As long as the secret passage is found, Lady's hiding place can be uncovered.
Bradley listened, his cold eyes narrowed, and he said to Lance, "Send people to search everywhere, we must find the secret passage."
"Yes."
Lance quickly went to do it.
Freya and Bradley also searched for traps everywhere.
At this moment, Freya saw a man's footprint on the ground clearly, "Bradley, over here."
Bradley hurried over at the sound of her voice, asking, "Did you find something?"
"Look at this." Freya pointed at the footprint and said, "Although there are many footprints left here, most of them have been covered by dust, but only this one is fresh."
After speaking, she carefully looked around, her gaze falling on a slightly protruding brick on the wall, her pupils dilating.
Bradley understood her thoughts at a glance, approached and touched the spot, and indeed a door appeared on the opposite wall.
"I guessed right, there is a trap here!"
Freya finished speaking and held Bradley's hand as they walked in together.
At the same time.
Ravenwood had already been taken out of the courtyard, passed through a dark passage and left through the back door, and in the distance, a red luxury car parked on the roadside could be seen.
"Lord Earl, the lady is waiting for you in the car!" the bodyguard said.
Ravenwood waved his hand and walked over.
When he arrived at the car, he opened the door, got in, and was enveloped by a familiar fragrance, followed by a soft body throwing itself into his arms.
Lady grabbed his neck with both hands and coquettishly said, "Ravenwood, you are late."
The Earl Ravenwood's body stiffened for a moment, resisting the disgust that he wanted to push her away with, and pretended to be calm, saying, "You are still as suspicious as ever, always beating around the bush, look, taking a secret passage ends up covered in dust."
"If I don't do this, and someone follows you, wouldn't my whereabouts be exposed?" Lady's hand then fell on the Earl Ravenwood's collar.
Although Ravenwood had already entered middle age, his face was still handsome, and at this age, he carried a maturity and steadiness that most men did not have, which fascinated Lady greatly.
No one knows that Lady has admired Ravenwood since she was young, but this man only has eyes for Sally, ignoring Lady completely. This makes Lady feel very frustrated. Now that Ravenwood has become her puppet, how can she make him break free from her grasp?
