“Bang! Bang!” The two bullets successfully penetrated the snake’s body. “Are you okay?” James put away his pistol and threw the snake’s body down the mountain with a branch.
“You…” Kimberly didn’t have time to celebrate her near-death experience. She held onto a tree beside her and stabilized herself. Her expression changed slightly. “How did you get…”
Before she could finish her sentence, James’s hand gesture of silence interrupted her. He pointed at the security personnel who were rushing over.
“Where are the snakes?” They were fully armed and held electric shock sticks as they scanned the area. “How could there be snakes all of a sudden? We have patrolled this mountain before.”
Kimberly could only keep this question at the bottom of her heart. When they questioned her, she subconsciously covered it up for James. “I don’t know why those snakes suddenly glide away. Maybe…”
“We’ve already started the first aid for the other gentleman. Do you guys want to do a check-up as well? The few snakes that were electrocuted are all of the more poisonous type. I really don’t know why there are these kinds of snakes. It’s too strange. It looks like someone put them here.”
The voice came out from the mask, sounding a little muffled and distorted. “It’s best to return the way you came. There will be security personnel around you, so you can rest assured.”
Kimberly nodded at James, and the two of them walked down the path they came from.
She knew in her heart that this was definitely related to Keith, but the look of shock and panic on Keith’s face when he saw the snake could not be faked. This was definitely not a scene that would appear in his plan, not to mention that he was the only one who was injured?
She had sketched out a rough outline, but more details needed to be perfected to piece together the truth. Right now, it was useless to let her imagination run wild, it would only make her more subjective.
However, a scumbag like Keith really deserved it, even the heavens thought that he should be punished.
“Thank you. No matter what, you were the one who saved my life. Otherwise, I’m afraid I might not be able to hold on until I get the serum.” Kimberly smiled at James in a relaxed manner, as if they were chatting. Kimberly continued, “You showed up at the critical moment and scared the snakes away with a branch. They somehow climbed down the cliff on their own, right?”
James nodded and brushed the gun by his waist. After a while, he suddenly explained, “This is Andrew’s.”
“Huh?” Kimberly didn’t expect James to explain himself. After all, she had prepared to stop talking about this incident with her last sentence.
“He told me to take it for self-defense. I didn’t expect this to really happen. Andrew is… exactly what you think he is. I only found out about it a few years ago.” James didn’t know why he made up such a story, however, it was indeed Andrew who knocked on his door and handed it to him.
“Didn’t I pack my luggage with you?” He shrugged and looked at her innocent eyes. “We don’t have such dangerous things at home.”
Kimberly was ready to move out, but her trust in him was restored after hearing his explanation. Still, she thought to herself, “Do you think I’m stupid?”? How could a normal person be so accurate in his shooting?
James saw that she hadn’t replied for a long time, so he silently helped her to dust off her sleeves. His handsome face looked a little hurt, and he added, “I’ll take you to look for Andrew later.”
“No, no, no.” Kimberly shook her head repeatedly and refused righteously. “I believe you and I’m very grateful to you. I still have to look into this matter.”
He seemed a little disappointed, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, he remembered the scene he saw when he was looking for firewood. He pondered for a moment and said, “I seem to have seen someone.”
“Oh?”
“It should be someone from the photography team. I saw the uniform, but I only glanced at it by chance. There’s no evidence.”
The words “George Carter” popped up in Kimberly’s mind. There was no one else in this resort who could convince Keith and bribe the photography team.
“I have a rough idea of who it is.” Kimberly smiled and enunciated each word. “He’ll wait!”
James seemed shocked by the murderous aura emanating from her body, and he subconsciously took a step to the side.
“That’s good.”
“Of course, I hope nothing bad happens to Keith. It would be meaningless if he died so easily.”
The drifting mountain breeze swept away a faint chuckle, bringing with it a hint of coldness and elegance. There was a strange rhythm when the syllables collided, reminding one of the snowy mountains stretching across the northern kingdom, and one could not help but feel a chill in one’s heart.
