Chapter 3071
A loud bang echoed, followed by the screech of multiple vehicles coming to a stop.
"What's happening?" someone shouted from the halted vehicles, their voice tinged with frustration.
"Looks like a tire blew out, I'll take a look," another person responded, stepping out of the vehicle.
After examining the tire and the road, the person's face went pale, and they couldn't help but exclaim,
"We're in trouble!"
The other vehicles quickly reacted, with around a dozen men getting out and forming a protective circle
around the trucks.
"What's going on?" someone called out into the darkness.
The person checking the situation replied, "Can't say for sure, but there's a spike strip on the road. The
tire blowout was intentional."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTension thickened in the air at this revelation.
The group remained on edge, keeping watch all around. They weren't sure when or where an attack
might come from, but they knew they were surrounded.
"The group seems pretty alert," Seth remarked, his voice dripping with disdain.
However, even if they had spotted it, it wouldn't make a difference to Charlie and his crew.
'These folks are as good as caught, and once we get back the cargo, we'll hand them over to the police
station.' Charlie's eyes narrowed slightly as he quietly commanded, "Move swiftly and decisively." "Got
it," the group replied, then charged toward their targets.
Despite being on alert, the sudden attack still took them by surprise, throwing them into chaos.
Charlie's team, all well-trained, swiftly subdued them.
"Boss, we've checked. The cargo's all good," Seth reported upon returning.
Charlie nodded in approval. "Tie them up, load them into the vehicles, and let's get out of here." "Got
it," the team replied, quickly carrying out the instructions. Once everything was sorted, they all climbed
into their vehicles and drove away from the scene.
Shortly after, Nicole and Jared received the update.
"Efficient," Nicole remarked with a shrug, suggesting that the opposition was less formidable than
anticipated.
"Everett will catch wind of this soon," Jared remarked, his expression turning grim.
Nicole nodded thoughtfully. "He might already know.”
Considering the timing, she believed that Everett should have been expecting the arrival of the cargo.
But now that it's lost, and those transporting it are out of reach.
"Having faced defeat at your hands multiple times, Everett's desperation will likely grow." Jared's eyes
gleamed with cold determination as he imagined Everett's rage.
Nicole seemed unperturbed. "He was already furious to begin with." 'It was better to act sooner rather

between them that hadn't been addressed yet.
Jared gently smoothed Nicole's hair, softly reminding her, "Remember, you have me when you face
troubles."
Nicole smiled warmly, feeling comforted by his touch. She understood that he was advising her not to
tackle things alone or put herself in harm's way, but to seek his support and face challenges together.
Agreeing wholeheartedly, she didn't want to cause him any more worry. Facing things together felt
much safer.
Jared leaned in and tenderly kissed Nicole on the lips, a moment so gentle it enveloped them both.
Nicole instinctively wrapped her arms around Jared's waist, drawing him close.
In the quiet of the night, Jerry hurried to a mansion that glowed with light from within. He took a deep
breath before entering.
"Mr. Wright, I’ve checked. The men have been taken to the police station, and the cargo has been
secured in Warehouse 3," Jerry reported the situation to Everett.
