Chapter 1658

Nate hung up the phone silently and quietly took his place next to Chloe. With some pity, hewatched Stanley lead his men as they fired the first shot. The checkpoint was caught off guard, andimmediately thrown into the firefight.

“Ma’am, it’s dangerous up front. Please stay back as much as you can

Chloe shook her head. “I need to assess the situation and replace a chance to break in.”

Nate’s expression was somewhat complex. “Don’t worry, I’ll handle it. The moment there’s anopening, I’ll make sure you’re the first one through. Your safety is our priority”

Chloe glanced at the ongoing firefight and decided to follow Nate’s advice and step back. Shewasn’t overly worried about Stanley She had absolute confidence in his ability to handle a singlecheckpoint c2

She couldn’t possibly call Stanley for help without being sure he’d be safe. It wasn’t right to put himin a potentially life–threatening situation

Soon enough, Chloe felt the intensity of the battle wanting, and she moved closer to assess thesituation.

Stanley had easily gained the upper hand, but dodging bullets back and forth was undoubtedlyexhausting. Nate, seeing that the situation was under control signaled one of his men andwhispered something in his ear. The man nodded and left.

Before long. Nate turned to Chloe. “Ma’am, let’s get in the car.”

Chloe was unsure of his plans, but the chilling wind outside left her no room to argue. Without muchthought, she got in the car

The battle continued up ahead. As long as there was gunfire, Chloe would not risk going in. Shedidn’t come here to get herself killed

Five minutes felt like an eternity amidst the gunfire. Suddenly, a rumbling sound grew from the darkhorizon. The sound of a helicopter’s engine and the whooshing wind grew louder.

Uncertain if it was a friend or foe, Chloe huddled inside the car, and her brows knitted together

Meanwhile, Nate stuck his head out of the window, looking up at the sky. His hair, alreadydisheveled, was further tousled by the helicopter’s wind. But right now, controlling his overwhelmingjoy was more important than worrying about his messy hair.

Help was finally here. He could finally let go of this “ticking bomb.” With a sigh of relief, Nate startedthe car Chloe frowned, “What are you doing?”

“Ma’am, we can go in now”

Chloe glanced at the ongoing firefight. “It’s not stable yet

“Don’t worry. Trust me.” With a relaxed tone. Nate drove towards the checkpoint

Chloe’s face tightened, and her brows furrowed deeper. Silently, she gripped the gun in her pocket.

Three helicopters flew overhead, one after another. They crossed into the border region’s airspacewithout any signs of aggression or resistance. They even seemed to be preparing to land within theborder.

Stanley and his men noticed, too. Damn! They’ve got reinforcements!

The helicopters landed without any resistance, clearly on their side. Three helicopters meantanother round of firefights

At the same time, Stanley spotted a line of cars entering from the checkpoint. The slow pace of thecars in the midst of the chaos was like an elderly man leisurely walking down the street. Incrediblyleisurely.

He even saw Chloe sitting in one of the cars.

Stanley was shocked. Who could tell him what the hell was going on?!

“Jaden, take my place. I need to check the front! He called for a replacement and slipped into thechaos.

Three helicopters landed. Who knew what kind of people were inside? It could be super dangerous.This woman was really stubborn and disobedient She was infuriating!

Chloe was equally confused. Her questioning gaze repeatedly drifted to Nate next to her Watchingthe peaceful scene on their side, and the unobstructed path ahead, Chloe was baffled Nate’srelaxed expression made Chloe believe that the first thing she should do after entering was to takea good rest

Three helicopters landed on a spacious square not far away The rotors whirled rapidly, stirring up abone-chilling wind in the winter night

Stanley caught up with Chloe’s car and knocked on the window ‘What the hell are you doing? Did Igive you the signal to come in?”

Chloe looked at him through the window, equally confused Nate assured me it was safe

“Damn in Look at what’s happening out there Get out of the car now!

Without another word, Stanley reached into the car, released the safety latch, opened the door, andpulled Chloe out.

“Come with mel

He glanced around, pulled Chloe into his arms, and shielded her with his body, ready to leave.

Nate, of course, wasn’t about to let them go. He immediately got out of the car and quickly blockedStanley’s path. His brain buzzed at the sight of Stanley holding Chloe so closely, and he felt a bitdizzy

Couldn’t they stop doing this?! Her husband was

Nate shivered as the wind from the helicopters rotor hit him At the same time, the doors of thenearby helicopters opened. Nate looked up to see two bodyguards quickly jump out, and soon, a tallfigure appeared at the center of the helicopter’s dear

The joy he had felt earlier now had a different taste. He wished that his boss could have stayed inthe air for a few more rounds before landing.

Nate straightened his posture and bowed slightly, showing respect. Chloe had only ever seen himact this way towards one person. She paused for a moment, then turned from Stanley’s embrace.

When the familiar figure came into view, she was surprised, and her mouth fell open. Nate’sprevious assurance flashed through her mind like a bolt of lightning. So that was what was goingon?

She watched as the figure stepped off the helicopter. The wind lifted the corner of his black coat, thecollar fluttering. His handsome, aloof face was tightly drawn. It was only when she moved in closerthat she could vaguely see the stormy gloom and icy coldness lurking in his deep, dark eyes.

Chloe stared at him as he stood a short distance away. His gaze was heavy and unyielding as it methers

“Come here,” he ordered.
