Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

Jane waited for a while, checking the time, and realizing it was almost noon, but there was still no sign of Nana.

A subtle sense of worry crept into Jane’s heart. She called Nana, only to find her phone turned off.

Nana was usually disciplined and wouldn’t break an appointment without notice. Something must have happened.

Jane quickly drove to the hotel where Nana was staying, knocking on the door for a while, but no one answered.

Jane furrowed her brows, sensing that something was wrong. She summoned the manager, and they opened the door. The room was empty; Nana was nowhere to be found.

Reviewing the surveillance footage, they discovered that after Nana left the hotel last night, she never returned.

The last place Nana visited, as seen on the surveillance, was a supermarket near the hotel.

She entered a blind spot in the cameras and disappeared.

It was clear-Nana was in trouble!

Jane was about to contact Anthony to help trace Nana’s whereabouts when her phone rang.

Jane answered, relieved to see it was Nana calling.

She quickly picked up and asked, “Nana, where are you?”

However, the voice on the other end wasn’t Nana’s. Instead, a low, hoarse voice, grinding her name through gritted teeth, came through, “Jane!”

This voice… was familiar.

It was Freda!

The disappearance of Freda, who had been missing for so long!

Jane’s heart sank.

Nana’s phone was in Freda’s hands…

Meaning Nana had been kidnapped by Freda!

Sure enough, the next second, Freda’s gloomy voice came through the phone, “Nana is in my hands!”

“Freda, what do you want?” Jane demanded.

Her eyes narrowed, and the long lashes lightly trembled, casting a shadow in her gaze. She said in a deep voice, “Don’t mess around!”

“Jane, if you want to save Nana, come to the mountaintop of Qingcheng Mountain in the outskirts before sunset. If I don’t see you by then, you’ll never see her again!”

“Remember, only you are allowed. If anyone else finds out, Nana will die just the same!”

Freda completed this statement in one breath, then abruptly hung up, giving Jane no chance to ask further questions.

Freda, this lunatic!

Jane felt regret in her heart. How could she be so careless and let Freda kidnap Nana!

She glanced at the time. After spending the whole afternoon searching for Nana, it was already past 4 PM. The distance to Qingcheng Mountain was considerable, and she had to hurry!

Jane quickly assessed the situation. Adonis and his group had already been caught by the police. Freda probably didn’t have any accomplices now.

Otherwise, given Freda’s personality, she would have directly confronted Jane instead of resorting to kidnapping Nana.

Moreover, Freda explicitly stated on the phone that only Jane was allowed to come. Otherwise, Nana would die.

Worried that the lunatic Freda might harm Nana, Jane, after weighing her options for a few seconds, didn’t inform anyone and drove to Qingcheng Mountain.

Speeding all the way, Jane finally arrived at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain in the outskirts before 6 PM.

With half an hour until sunset, Jane was extremely nervous. She had to reach the mountaintop before the sun went down!

Looking up at the mountain, with an elevation of eight hundred meters, Jane didn’t hesitate. She took large strides, climbing upward.

Even though running felt like her lungs were about to explode, Jane didn’t dare to pause her pace.

She was afraid.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

She was afraid she wouldn’t make it in time, afraid that Freda would harm Nana.

She felt responsible for involving Nana…

Tapping into her burst of potential, Jane finally reached the cliff at the mountaintop in the last minute before the sun disappeared beneath the horizon.

Looking up, she saw Nana tied up to a big tree at the edge of the cliff.

Standing beside her was Freda.

At the sight of Freda, Jane was momentarily stunned.

If she hadn’t called in advance and known that Nana was kidnapped by Freda, Jane probably wouldn’t have recognized the disheveled, dark-faced woman in the oversized army-green coat as Freda.

“Jane, I thought you weren’t coming,” Freda said coldly, casting a disdainful look at Jane.

Although Freda’s complexion was too dark to see her original appearance, her eyes sparkled with intense resentment towards Jane.

Ignoring Freda, Jane’s gaze focused on Nana. “Nana, are you okay?”

“Jane, don’t come any closer. You need to leave! This woman is crazy!” Nana shouted.

Last night, she had just gone to the supermarket to buy some things. While passing through the underground parking lot, she heard someone calling her.

Nana instinctively turned around, unable to see anything clearly, and was knocked unconscious from behind.

When she woke up, she found herself tied up, locked inside a run-down warehouse.

And the person in front of her was Freda.

Nana knew Freda and was aware of the complicated relationship between Freda and Jane.

She knew that Freda had tried to harm Jane several times but ended up being countered by Jane.

However, what Nana didn’t expect was that Freda would be so crazy as to kidnap her when she couldn’t harm Jane directly!

Now, Nana was tied to the edge of a cliff by Freda, and she was scared.

But Nana understood that Freda’s target wasn’t her. Freda’s goal was Jane.

Kidnapping Nana was just a way to threaten Jane.

She couldn’t let Freda succeed in her plot!

“Jane, don’t worry about me. Just go! Call the police and arrest this lunatic!” Nana shouted.

“Shut up!” Freda held a knife, about thirty centimeters long, pointing it at Nana’s neck. “If you say another word, I’ll kill you!”

Seeing the sharp knife glaring at Nana’s neck, Jane’s heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly yelled, “Freda, don’t do anything foolish!”

Freda smirked coldly. “Looks like you still care about your friend.”

“Freda, your grudge is with me, not Nana. There’s no need to target my friend. Let Nana go!” Jane spoke with a stern tone.

“Let her go? Sure.” Freda spun the knife and casually cut the rope binding Nana.

This surprised both Jane and Nana. What was Freda planning?

Nana was about to walk towards Jane when, in the next moment, Freda grabbed her and pointed the knife at her again. “Thinking of running? Not so easy!”

Freda, still holding the knife, forced Nana step by step toward the edge of the cliff.

Jane watched as Nana stood precariously close to the cliff, her heart clenching.

If the wind picked up a bit, she could be blown right off the mountain!

Eight hundred meters high-if she fell, she would surely be shattered into pieces!
