As expected, gentleness and patience were for Tiffany. As for Sidney and Garry, they were at most cannon fodder.
Sidney and Garry looked at each other and wailed in unison.
“We are two jealous men,” said Sidney.
“We are sour and redundant,” said Garry.
Richard left them wailing and struggling. After a sumptuous lunch, a helicopter slowly took off from the sky above Royal Bay.
The place they went this time was the desert in the far west.
Felix’s tracks disappeared there two days ago. He had not been seen since. With Felix’s cunningness, there were only two outcomes to his movement. The first was that he was plotting something in this desert. The second was that he had specially waited for them there.
Coincidentally, it was time to settle some scores with Felix.
Tiffany sat in the helicopter cabin with Richard sleeping beside her.
She could not do anything last night and slept soundly. It was just Richard did not sleep the entire night and even went back and forth to the bathroom to take a shower.
Tiffany rubbed her nose. She felt uneasy when she saw the flirtatious glances from Sidney and Garry opposite, but she couldn’t bear to push Richard away.
Richard woke up after sleeping for about an hour.
His eyebrows were as frigid. However, his coldness disappeared the moment he turned to look at Tiffany.
“Why didn’t you wake me up?” asked Richard.
Only the gentle light could be seen in his eyes.
Tiffany was momentarily careless and was dazzled by his evil smile.
She was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted and replied, “You didn’t sleep well last night, so I let you sleep a little longer.”
Richard’s lips curled up. Obviously, he was in a good mood because of her words.
“Then I’ll massage your shoulders.”
Richard and Tiffany showed off their love as if no one was around while Sidney and Garry were watching them opposite them.
The place they were going was a bit far. The helicopter flew for five hours straight, from the afternoon to the evening, before finally arriving at the desert in the western.
Tiffany subconsciously looked down and saw the sunset, casting a golden light on the endless desert. The whole beauty and grandeur of nature were now in full view.
Lonely desert and a round sunset. The scenery was intoxicating

while. However, they were not there to have a vacation but to do serious business.
There were always unexpected risks in the desert.
With Felix’s despicable and sinister character, he might have set up a trap for them to jump into!
They had to be very careful.

The helicopter did not land. Instead, it lowered its altitude and lowered the rope ladder. The other subordinates were the first to throw a few equipment backpacks down before descending from the soft ladder.
Sidney and Garry also climbed down the ladder.
rope
Upon seeing that, Tiffany also prepared to follow.
Before she came, she had sworn she would not drag them down and cause trouble. Naturally, the rope ladder was not a problem.
However, she had just taken a step when she felt something tighten around her waist.
Tiffany turned around and saw Richard firmly holding her in his arms.
“Stop fooling around. We have to go down, too,” said Tiffany.
She wanted to break free from his embrace, but in the next second, while the others were still strung up like grasshoppers on the rope ladder, Richard suddenly jumped forward and down from the helicopter!
The wind whistled past their ears.
It was thrilling and exciting.
Tiffany was caught off guard and was so frightened that she almost screamed.
However, her body did not feel like it was falling to the ground. On the contrary, she was held in Richard’s arms. She could smell the fresh and pleasant scent at his nose tip, and her nervousness gradually relaxed.
In the blink of an eye, Richard and Tiffany landed steadily.
All of it happened quickly. Everyone was on the rope ladder, so no one saw Richard’s act of riding the wind–down.
Garry was still puzzled. He rubbed his eyes and asked in confusion, “Well, I remember you guys were at the end… Did I remember wrongly? Or did you guys pass me and land directly?”
Tiffany smiled brightly and replied, “We flew down.”
Garry laughed. “Tiffany, you’re good at joking.”
“The truth is often not believed in these days?‘ thought Tiffany.
Tiffany was still smiling and did not explain. It could be said she tacitly agreed with Garry’s claim that she was joking.
Richard’s eyes were deep as he held Tiffany’s waist and walked forward.
“It’s getting late. Let’s find a camp,” said Richard.
All the material equipment was brought over, and the tents were quickly set up by his subordinates.
Fifteen minutes later, the entire desert was enveloped in darkness as the last rays of the sun faded.

Fortunately, all the tents had been set up before that.
08 95%
The temperature difference between day and night in the desert was huge. It was hot during the day, but it was winter at night.
Tiffany was nestled in the tent, covered with a thick blanket, and holding a hand warmer.
Richard arranged it well, which gave her the illusion she was not here to do something but to take a vacation.
Tiffany yawned lazily. The sandstorm in the desert was strong. She could occasionally hear the whistling wind, carrying the sand and gravel to beat against the canvas tent, making a continuous rustling.
It was a little like a lullaby but also had the deterrence of nature.
Tiffany turned over, unable to sleep at all.
So she got up and walked out of the tent.
The other subordinates either gathered around to play cards or stood aside, well–trained. There was no fire in the desert, and all the food was abundant, simple, and quick.
The dark campsite was illuminated, and the scenery in front of them could be seen clearly.
Tiffany looked around but did not see Richard. She could not help but walk out of the camp.
“Richard? Where are you?” called Tiffany.
No one responded.
Tiffany was suspicious for a moment. She did not fall asleep after lying in the tent. She had also been listening to the movements outside. She did not hear anyone say Richard had left the camp to go somewhere else.
‘Even if he has to leave, he can’t possibly leave without saying anything to me, right?‘ thought Tiffany.
Tiffany was a little worried, so she could not help but quicken her pace.
After leaving the camp, she was surrounded by pitch–black darkness. Even though she used the flashlight on her phone to illuminate, the light was not enough to dispel the darkness of the entire desert.
Tiffany carefully walked forward. Suddenly, the quicksand around her began to collapse. In the blink of an eye, the quicksand had swallowed her!
‘Shit!‘
The quicksand in front of her was ferocious. Compared to the man–made mechanisms in the training ground, it was even more ferocious. Once a person encountered such a huge quicksand in the desert, it was easy to sink completely. There was no way to deal with it in a person’s situation!
Beyond saving one.
Tiffany gritted her teeth and concentrated all her strength on her legs. She wanted to use the momentum to rush forward.
However, the sand beneath her feet was too loose to provide any leverage, and she was already sinking up to her waist in the quicksand.
