The Wrong Woman
Chapter 198

Liam felt extremely uneasy. He didn't think she would be able to get this done when someone with more than ten years worth of experience in drug-making couldn't. He only wished she could drag out the time for as long as possible.

"The impure mixture contains sodium and a substance similar to rubidium," she said in a low voice as she continued her research. "However, rubidium can't come in contact with air or water, or it'll explode. "This is the first time I've encountered such a strange new element. Give me some time. Let me figure this out."

No one understood a word she said and looked at her skeptically.

Suzanne noticed their doubtful glances, as well as the unfriendly and perverted gazes that were directed at her body. She knew that she needed something to prove herself, or these people would never believe her.

She picked up some of the powder and placed it in a bottle. Then, she added a certain substance to the mixture and placed it over a fire. She was swift and skilled with her actions.

Then, she added the powder into the water.

Assuming it'll explode again, everyone took a step back. But the explosion didn't take place.

Liam stared at Suzanne in shock.

Mick was ecstatic. He rubbed his head and laughed, "No wonder you're a scientist from Sunterland-You got it fixed so quickly. This is great."

Suzanne cast Liam a nervous look. He shook his head subtly at her and shot her a knowing look.

She then said softly and carefully, "Although I fixed the part where it explodes when in contact with water, this substance is still extremely toxic. You'd die immediately if you inhaled this." The bald man walked toward her, and she stepped back in fear. She looked at him cautiously.

He patted her cheek and said, "Pretty lady, if you help me fix all two tons of these goods, I'd not only set you free, but I'll pay you as well. Of course, if you'd like to join us, I'd welcome you too." Suzanne knew better than to trust the words of a drug trafficker. She squeezed a stiff smile on her face and nodded. "Thank you."

Suddenly, there were gunshots outside. Suzanne was nervous, and her heart started beating violently. She stared outside in shock.

Everyone tensed up and immediately rushed out with guns.

Liam handed her his pistol and said anxiously in a low voice, "No matter who it is, as long as they threaten your life, shoot them immediately. Understand?"

She was extremely anxious. "Is Nathan here for me, Liam? Have the Norvanian forces come?"

Liam led her outside. "It could be Nate, but it is most definitely not the Norvanian military."

She started panicking. Did Nathan come alone to get himself killed?

Outside the warehouse, there was smoke everywhere, and gunfire continued incessantly.

Mick was joining the fight with his subordinates.

One of them approached the pair with a machine gun and asked, "Where is your weapon, Liam?"

"Who are they?" he asked solemnly.

"Mercenaries."

The corner of his lips turned up. He couldn't use the Norvanian military, so he paid to hire mercenaries instead.

Liam was amazed by the lengths Nathan would go for Suzanne.

He brought Suzanne to a hut and shoved her into a closet. "Protect yourself, Chubs," he said, patting her head with a grim expression. "Where are you going, Liam?"

He didn't reply. After shutting the door firmly, he left.

In the dark closet, Suzanne could hear the endless sound of gunfire outside. She trembled in fear. Terrified and anxious, she didn't move an inch.

She was drenched in sweat, and her eyes welled up with tears. She couldn't believe that she was hearing such horrifying gunshots in this era of peace.

She was worried about Liam, and even more worried about Nathan. She couldn't tell what was happening outside.

The fight continued intermittently 'till nightfall.
