"The problem is... I have no idea how to kill her, I don't even know where she is." On the other end of the line, his voice carried a hint of helplessness and confusion.
"I know, I'll tell you." I quickly responded, my mind working at a frantic pace, as if wound up like a spring.
I recalled the last conversation with my best friend, when I had sensed something was amiss. She seemed to be in a moving vehicle.
This puzzled me greatly—logically, she should have been near my coffin, keeping vigil.
After all, if I had died prematurely inside the coffin, with no one to reveal the password, she would have received nothing.
Upon deeper reflection, she should never have buried me alive. If she truly wanted the password, torturing me would have been a far more reliable method. That way, she could ensure I was still alive when I revealed it...
But at this moment, the answer had become clear to me.
There could only be one explanation, and it was undoubtedly the reason!
The local armed group had little involvement with her—they were simply mercenaries, paid to do her bidding.
To them, murder was just another routine task. As long as the price was right, they would do anything.
Since it was merely a transaction of money, she must have known that staying in the area was too dangerous.
If the armed group discovered she had such a large sum of money, her life would be at risk as well.
This was why, when I was forced out of the car at gunpoint, she demanded the password but said nothing more.
Therefore, I was certain that, after witnessing my burial, she had hurriedly taken my daughter and boarded that off-road vehicle, racing back the way she came, heading straight for the border.
She was desperate to leave this treacherous place as quickly as possible!
"Xu Ze, she is heading back to the border!" I said urgently.
