Please Let Me Go

Chapter 166 Saved by an a Friend in the Past

The head of those people touched his nose and thought for a long time. After a long time, he slowly let

people take out the smelly socks in Adelaide's mouth. She couldn't help bending over and vomiting.

She threw up so much that she felt as if she would threw up her bile. With her eyes red, Adelaide

managed to stand up, and then she rushed to Hanna, pushing her and wanting her to leave.

It would be extremely lucky if one of them could leave soundly. At least Hanna thought so.

"PA!"

A clear shot rang out, startling the birds above the bamboo forest so much that they spread their wings Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

and fled.

They turned to where the sound came from. A man limping on crutches came to them. Adelaide

unconsciously hugged Hanna who was around her and couldn't stop her heart from beating hard.

"What you've done was against the law and I've videoed everything just now as evidence. Go away, or

it'll be too late when my friends come."

Although he was lame, his voice was sonorous and strong. His clothes had obviously faded from the

wash, but it did not affect his deterrent.

The head of those people swallowed saliva. The minions behind him pulled his sleeve and whispered a

few words in his ear. His expression was the same as that of Adelaide and Hanna when they were

surrounded just now. It seemed that they were afraid of a gun even they had electric sticks.

Adelaide was secretly relieved. Today, they should be safe with the help of this person. While thinking

of this, she moved to the lame man unconsciously.

"What...What do you think you are?" The head of those men hunched forward in a little fear. On the

surface, he had to ask constrainedly when he considered his face in front of minions.

The lame man continued to walk towards them, randomly aimed at a place and shot. "PA!" It was

another gunfire. He looked at the head of those men who had lost his confidence, "My name is

Channing. I'm a former criminal police officer of the Public Security Bureau of J City. "

There were so many criminal police officers in J City. How could these thugs remember the names of

all the policemen? Besides, the gun in his hand alone was enough to keep these men from doing

anything else.

They confronted each other for a few minutes. And then the head of those men shouted to the minions

behind him loudly, "Go!"

Soon, they all disappeared.

Adelaide thanked him. She thought that she was destined to be raped by these people today. It never

occurred to her that she was saved by the last person she wanted to see finally.

The lame man was her ex-boyfriend, Channing!

Today, he looked somewhat like a gentleman. He smiled slightly and bowed ninety degrees to

Adelaide, saying that he knew he was wrong and should not help Clarissa to harm her. He also hoped

that she could forgive him.

Adelaide was still soft-hearted after all and he even saved her just now, so she couldn't say some

hurtful words to him anymore. Finally, she smiled and forgave him.

At this time, Channing proposed to have a meal with Adelaide. Adelaide subconsciously wanted to

refuse. But after Channing mentioned that he had just saved her, she nodded and agreed because she

had to pay him back.

Channing asked excessively to eat with only Adelaide. Hanna wouldn't easily believe him, pulled

Adelaide's arm strongly and said that he couldn't have a meal with Adelaide without her.

He thought: since you must come, don't blame me.

Then, he took them both to a nearby restaurant.

Seeing Adelaide and Hanna both fall on the dining table, Channing didn't panic at all. Instead, he

showed a weird smile.

He suddenly snapped his fingers and shouted, "Waitress, my friends were fine just now. Why did they

all suddenly fall in a faint on the table?"

When the waitress heard this, her expression changed and she quickly came close to Channing.

"Sir, I... I have to ask our manager to come out and take care of it." Apparently, the waitress thought

that something serious had happened. Although she had worked here for a long time and had never

heard of or seen a guest suffer from food poisoning, she could not deny that there was such possibility.

She looked up at the two women and saw that they had indeed passed out, so she thought that it was

very likely that they got food poisoning.

When a customer got food poisoning in a restaurant, the restaurant must be responsible for it. She was

but a waitress, so she couldn't deal with it.

"Ok." Channing smiled and waved his hands, letting the waitress go to the manager.

Soon, a man dressed in a suit came hurriedly. He looked straightforward and goo-natured and slightly

fat, "Sir, I heard that your friends fainted while eating in our restaurant. We'll arrange an ambulance for

your friends now. As for the expenses...We'll have to find out whether if they're in a coma because they

ate the food we served, so I dare not promise to reimburse you for the expenses now."

It seemed that he was the manager of this restaurant.

Channing smiled lightly, looking very modest, "No, you don't have to. It still takes time for the

ambulance to come here. Well, you ask two people to get my friends into my car, and I'll take them to

the hospital."

After a pause, Channing added, "As for the expenses, I'm not in short of money."

The hotel manager's eyes lit up. He almost gave Channing a thumbs-up and praised him to be a good

young man in the new era.

In this era, it was common for someone to blackmail or being blackmailed. Therefore, the hotel

manager was surprised and delighted because of Channing's kindness. After all, if these two

customers did get food poisoning from eating something from the restaurant and were taken to the

hospital, he must be held accountable. He might even lose his job.

"Ok, ok! I'll ask someone to help you now." The hotel manager smiled so happily that his eyes

narrowed into a slit, "Karen, Jessica, come to help this gentleman to get his friends into his car."

The hotel manager turned to the two waitresses behind him and ordered. Then he gratefully said to

Channing, "Sir, I'll pay for your bill today."

"Thank you then." Channing answered casually, as if something like having a meal for free was

insignificant to him.

He waved to the two waitresses standing behind the hotel manager, "Follow me."

They helped Adelaide and Hanna when they followed Channing.

As they walked, they were whispering about Channing who was limping.

"I didn't expect that there would be such good people in society now."

"Maybe his parents are rich, so he doesn't care about so little money."

"Even so, he is still better than those who are poor and deliberately blackmail other people."

"Indeed."

"I'm going to marry a rich man as kind as he in the future."

"Isn't here one?"

"Well, I'd like to, but I'm afraid that he doesn't like me."
