Charlie pulled out his mobile phone and instructed Isaac Cameron to tell the helicopter pilot to lower the rope. Once it was released, he securely tied Steve and James together with a strong nylon rope, and the two were then gently lifted by the winch.


    Meanwhile, Xion was carefully retracing her steps, trying to erase her footprints as she made her way back to the balcony. With a respectful tone, she addressed Charlie, saying, “Mr. Wade, everything is taken care of!”


    Charlie nodded in acknowledgment. At that moment, he received a message from Isaac Cameron: “Master, a business car has just arrived from the airport and is now in the hotel basement. James’s team has sealed off the area. It’s likely that the upants of this car are here for him. You and Miss Banks need to leave quickly.”


    Charlie smiled, remarking, “It seems like a friend of James has arrived.”


    He then grabbed another rope and instructed, “Time is of the essence. Hold onto my waist, and we’ll go up together.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Only two ropes were avable on the helicopter, the one attached to Steve and James. If they waited for the winch to lift them, untie the ropes, and then lower them, it would take at least seven or eight minutes. With James’s lover likely arriving soon at the hotel basement, it was crucial to leave without leaving any traces. Hence, using a single rope for both of them would save considerable time.


    Xion quickly nodded, but the thought of holding Charlie made her cheeks flush. Charlie had already grabbed the rope and reassured her, “Just hold on to my waist. Don’t worry; I’ll keep you secure.”


    Xion timidly replied, “Yes, Master Wade…” Summoning her courage, she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Charlie’s waist.


    As she felt the firmness of Charlie’s chest muscles, her face grew even warmer. This was the first time she had been so close to a man in such an intimate way. Charlie, focused on the task at hand, held her tightly and wrapped the rope around their waists several times before gripping one end tightly in the hand that held Xion.


    Once he was sure the rope was secure, Charlie picked up his phone with his other hand and sent Isaac Cameron a voice message: “Lift the helicopter now! We need to get out of here!”


    “Yes, Master!” Isaac Cameron responded without hesitation, immediately instructing the pilot to ascend. Charlie and Xion were swiftly lifted into the air by the helicopter.


    To ensure both their safety, Charlie held onto Xion firmly, and she clung tightly to him as they rose higher. The helicopter ascended to several hundred meters before heading towards Don Albert’s kennel. As they flew away, the fireworks disy over the river finally came to an end, and both sides of the Yangtze River quickly returned to a state of calm after the earliermotion.


    At the same time, a woman wearing a mask, sunsses, and a peaked cap arrived in a car at the second basement parking level of the Aurous Hill International Hotel. James’s team had been waiting for her arrival. The car came to a stop directly at the elevator entrance, which had beenpletely cleared by James’s men, ensuring no paparazzi could sneak in, and even the hotel’s surveince cameras had been turned off.


    The car door swung open, and the woman, who was entirely concealed, stepped out. James’s assistant approached her and quietly said, “Miss Megan, please follow me. The boss has been waiting for you.”<fna1ae> ?????? ???? findnovel</fna1ae>


    The woman hurriedly replied, “Oh, let’s go quickly! I don’t want to keep him waiting!”
