The Warner Corporation’s assistant, Daniel, quickly obtained the information about the car and handed it over to Drake. After seeing the information about the vehicle and its current location, Drake decided to personally go and investigate the situation.
Because he was worried about the potential danger, he didn’t bring Jane along and went alone. Upon reaching the place, Drake found the suspicious vehicle parked in front of an abandoned building. He carefully examined it but did not find any problems. His gaze then focused on the dilapidated building, but again, he couldn’t find any immediate problems. However, his experience from his time in the military told him that something was definitely amiss.
Drake cautiously entered the building, intending to investigate the situation. As he walked into the ground floor, he heard whimpering sounds. Following the sound, he quickly found Annie, her hands. and feet bound, and her mouth gagged, only able to make sobbing noises.
Seeing Drake, Annie’s eyes filled with excitement. Drake immediately approached her and tore off the tape from her face.
Drake… save me…” Annie immediately burst into tears, looking pitifully at Drake.
Drake scanned his surroundings before focusing his gaze on Annie. “Where are the people who kidnapped you?”
According to the message Annie had sent, she should have been kidnapped by the Reincarnation Path organization. However, there was no one here except her. Naturally, Drake had his doubts.
“They’re gone!” Annie cried out.
After untying Annie, Drake couldn’t help but feel suspicious. “They didn’t do anything to you at all?”
The more Drake thought about it, the more something felt off. It was too easy for him to find Annie, and she was completely unharmed. Something didn’t add up. If there was no conspiracy or ulterior motive, then what was the point of going through the trouble of kidnapping Annie?
Of course, Annie wouldn’t tell Drake that she had secured her safety by exchanging information about him and Jane. She continued to play the role of a frightened and helpless victim, crying and pleading, “Drake, I’m so scared. Please take me away quickly.”
Unable to extract any useful information, Drake could only take Annie with him for now. However, as soon as they got into the car, Drake’s phone rang. He picked it up and saw an unfamiliar number.
Frowning, Drake answered the call, and a cold voice filled with a hint of mockery came through. I’ve prepared a surprise for you. You’ll definitely like it.”
Hearing the chilling voice on the phone, Yu Mohan’s brow furrowed. He had a premonition that something bad was about to happen. “Who are you?” he asked in a cold tone, interrogating the person over the phone.
However, there was no response from the person. He simply replied coldly, “If you want to stay alive, I’ll tell you.”
With that, the call was abruptly ended. Drake realized the gravity of the situation and immediately. looked inside the car. Suddenly, a different sound came from inside the vehicle.
That familiar sensation, Drake could never forget it in his lifetime.

Without any hesitation, Drake opened the car door and pushed Annie out, then swiftly rushed out of the vehicle himself. In the blink of an eye, as the final “ding” sound resounded, the car burst into flames, exploding in a fiery spectacle.
The force of the explosion propelled Drake and Annie several meters away, with Drake sustaining injuries to his back from shielding Annie.
Upon learning of Drake’s injuries, Jane immediately rushed to the hospital.
On the hospital bed, Drake’s wounds had been treated. Due to the injury on his back, he could only lie face down on the bed. When Jane arrived, she saw Drake with gauze wrapped around his back, faintly stained with blood. Beside the bed, Dr. William Harrington was administering medication to
Drake.
Jane hurried to the bedside, her eyes filled with concern as she looked at Drake lying on the bed.
“What happened? How did you suddenly get injured? What were you doing?” Jane bombarded him with questions.
Feeling Jane’s care for him, Drake gently reassured her, “I’m fine, just a minor injury.”
“This is nothing? Can’t you see that your back is burnt?” Dr. Harrington couldn’t help but add in a grumpy tone. He earned a glare from Drake, warning him not to frighten Jane with his words.
Seeing Drake’s warning gaze, Dr. Harrington obediently closed his mouth and refrained from saying
more.
“What exactly happened?” Jane glared at Drake, not pleased with his response, and continued to press for an explanation of what had transpired.
Drake hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to tell Jane about the situation. When she learned that Drake got injured while going to find Annie, she felt a bit uncomfortable, but she paid more attention to the mention of the organization in Drake’s words.
“It’s that organization again. What do they want?” Jane’s expression turned cold and grim.
“We don’t know their exact motives yet, but one thing is certain–they are after me.” Drake replied in a low, chilling voice.
Courtney also received news of Drake’s injury and quickly rushed over. Seeing Drake lying on the hospital bed, her heart filled with worry.
“How did this happen?” Tears welled up in Courtney’s eyes. She only had this one son, and yet he had
gotten into trouble once again.
“Mom, I’m fine.” Unable to bear seeing her mother in tears, the typically cold Drake rarely spoke to
comfort her.
“Who did this?” Courtney’s voice became sharp and agitated.
Drake initially didn’t want to reveal the truth to his mother as not to worry her. However, he also feared that the organization would turn their attention to her. With her safety in mind, he briefly explained the involvement of the Reincarnation Path and advised her to prioritize her safety when going out, especially in taking care of their three children.
Upon hearing the words “Reincarnation Path,” Courtney’s expression turned gloomy.
“It’s them again. Could this be the inescapable fate of the Warner family?” Courtney said desolately

and sorrowfully.
Jane, observing Courtney’s expression, felt that something was off and grew curious. Could there be some other connection between the Warner family and this organization?
However, Courtney didn’t say anything more. After understanding the situation, she urged Drake to rest before leaving the hospital.
Once Courtney left, Jane looked at Drake with confusion and asked, “What did your mother mean by those words? Is there some other connection between your family and this organization?”
Hearing this, Drake didn’t conceal anything and told Jane what he knew. “My father died because of this organization as well.”
Hearing this, Jane’s doubts were finally resolved. She had never met Drake’s father. When she married Drake, he was already the high–ranking leader of the Warner Corporation. At that time, she still believed that he was a promising young man.
