Helen had obviously seen them, especially Butler Hatton, whom she was familiar with, so she waved for help.

Hatton was also shocked by the scene before him. He turned around and bowed to Caroline. “Can I ask Miss Lambert to take care of these two ladies and keep them away from the lake? Is that alright?”

Caroline naturally agreed to such a small matter. Then, Hatton hurriedly went to pick up Helen in another boat.

At that moment, a small goose that was being chased by Julie with a stick ran into the grass behind it in a panic. Julie followed behind it, not afraid of the dirt.

Caroline turned around and saw this scene. She frowned and quickly walked over to pull her back. Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks. She felt a sense of danger. Caroline calmed down and felt it carefully. Then, she stared at the grass where goose and Julie had hidden.

There was an ambush!

“Hey! Julie, I’ve already warned you not to go into the grass. Do you still remember?” Caroline complained loudly as she walked into the grass.

On the way, she saw a wooden stick on the ground that was as long as an arm and as thick as a wrist. She reached behind her back and made a grabbing gesture. At the same time, when her right foot stepped out, it just happened to touch the wooden stick. Then, the tip of her foot inadvertently made a circle,

and then she gently lifted it back. The wooden stick was picked up and fell into her hand behind her.

Julie, who had been chasing after the goose, lost track of it in the blink of an eye. She did not know where it had gone to.

Just as she was feeling lost, she heard Caroline’s voice. She turned around and saw Caroline’s unfamiliar face. She was puzzled. “Who are you?” Why didn’t she remember this person warning her?

At that moment, a burly middle-aged man with a sweat towel over his head suddenly emerged from the tea forest behind Julie. He stretched out his hands, ready to hold Julie with one hand and cover Julie’s mouth with the other.

Caroline was about 15 meters away from Julie. She could not make it in time. Caroline made a quick decision and threw the wooden stick in her hand. The moment the middle-aged man was about to touch Julie, the wooden stick hit him in the face.

“Ah!” The sharp pain at the tip of his nose caused the middle-aged man to cry out in pain.

Julie was shocked by the voice. She turned her head to look and found that there was someone behind her. It was a person with a mask on his face, and he looked very scary.

“B*tch, I won’t let you off today!” The masked man covered his nose and stood up straight. He took out a small pistol from his pocket.

Julie was so scared that she opened her mouth and cried.

‘Julie, get down!” Caroline’s voice was heard, and Julie subconsciously followed the order and knelt on the ground.

At this moment, Caroline was already lying on the ground with a few small stones in her hand. When she saw the masked man raise his gun and aim at her, Caroline held a small white stone between her fingers and threw it out.

The masked man was about to pull the trigger, but a white shadow flew over. He felt pain in his arm and numbness. He couldn’t exert any force at all, and he watched the pistol fall from his hand to the ground.

The masked man was shocked. He knew that he had encountered a tough opponent and only the gun could protect him. He didn’t check what was going on with his right hand and immediately reached out his left hand to pick up the gun.

However, Caroline, who had the upper hand, wanted to knock out the masked man’s gun. How could she allow him to hold the gun again?

The moment the masked man crouched down, another stone hit his face. Before he could cry out in pain, the next stone hit his crotch.

Compared to the pain from being hit in the face, the pain from being hit in the crotch was obviously much more intense. The masked man screamed in pain, his hands covering his crotch, and his face turned pale. He fell to the ground.

Although the masked man had lost his mobility, Caroline did not dare to let her guard down. This was because her intuition told her that the masked man was not the only one who was hiding in the forest.

Julie was stunned by what she saw. Then, she heard Caroline shout, “Julie, pick up the gun beside you!”

Julie came back to her senses and looked at the gun lying on her left not far away. It was the small gun that had dropped from the masked man’s arm when he was hit..
