The next day, Jane woke up and realized that she had slept until the afternoon. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and saw Patrick sitting beside her. As soon as he noticed Jane waking up, he immediately brought a glass of water to her bedside.
Jane took a sip of water and was surprised when the nurse brought in a bowl of porridge. This time, she didn’t complain about the hospital food being too bland or tasteless; instead, she obediently ate it all without saying a word.
Patrick was surprised by Jane’s sudden cooperation. “Why are you being so compliant today?” He stroked her hair while asking this question, but Jane remained silent.
If she revealed that she already knew what happened last night, Patrick would blame himself again. “It’s nothing,” said Jane finally. “I just thought it tasted good.”
Patrick nodded. “The police just came and said that we should go to the police station as soon as you wake up.”
“So soon?”
Originally, Patrick didn’t plan on telling Jane, but he was afraid she would question him. Now all he could do was go along with Jane’s wishes.
“Yes.” He nodded and then handed the empty bowl to the nurse beside him. “But you have to promise me that you won’t overexert yourself. You’re weak right now, so just tell me if there’s anything you need to do.”
Patrick gave a long string of instructions. The once cold-hearted man had become surprisingly verbose at this moment.
“Okay, okay, I understand.” Jane agreed, realizing that she had to start paying attention after hearing what the doctor said last night.
Soon, Patrick helped Jane put on thick clothes, worried that she would catch a cold on the way.
Jane, who had a slender figure, was wrapped up like a sticky rice dumpling, but she didn’t complain.
Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of the police station.
On the way, Patrick recounted the recent developments. Otherwise, when they arrived, the police would present Jane with a thick stack of documents.
Afraid that Jane would be too exhausted, Patrick could only give her a simple summary of the situation.
Jane nodded. As soon as they arrived at the police station, the police led them to Jaiden’s new hideout.
This time, it was an old house, well-hidden.
If Jaiden hadn’t recklessly come to the hospital to find Jane last time and exposed his whereabouts, they wouldn’t have found him so quickly.
Several people hovered in the house opposite Jaiden, carefully observing the movements inside.
“This time they’ve learned from their previous lesson. They’ve planted a large amount of explosives inside. I’ve already evacuated all the nearby residents. When we go in, we need to act quickly.”
The police described the situation inside. If it weren’t for this reason, the police would have taken action long ago.
Patrick furrowed his brow. This was indeed difficult to handle.
“The only way now is to send my highly skilled subordinates in to catch one of them first. They came here to seek refuge, so they definitely want to stay alive. As long as we have someone from their side, they won’t make any rash moves.”
Patrick analyzed. The police nodded, approving Patrick’s plan.
Jane stood there stunned, and Patrick’s gaze remained fixed on her, leaving her speechless for a moment.
“They usually work with their backs to the door, so we need to be quiet when we go in.”
Through the window, Patrick spotted the movements inside.
He instructed his men, and after they received the orders, they all came to the door of the opposite house.
The group exchanged glances, silently counted down from three, and then suddenly kicked the door open. The leading bodyguard immediately spotted the closest employee and without hesitation, grabbed him and brought him to their side.
They noticed someone trying to activate the explosives, but the quick-thinking bodyguard raised his gun and shot the person’s hand, causing them to drop it instantly.
With the enemy under control, the police and Patrick rushed to the scene and handcuffed them one by one.
Jane stayed behind Patrick the whole time. She wanted to help, but given her current physical condition, she feared she would only hinder their efforts.
“Don’t move!”
The next second, Jaiden’s voice reached everyone’s ears.
They all turned to look and saw Jaiden holding a gun, pointing it at the explosives beside him.
If those explosives were ignited, everyone present would likely perish together.
They were all aware of Jaiden’s temperament, the kind that didn’t tolerate any defiance, or else he wouldn’t have caused the car accident.
“Let’s talk things through.”
“I told you not to move!”
The police tried to stop Jaiden, but he wouldn’t listen, gripping the gun even tighter.
“Put the gun down.”
He threatened the police in front of him, and several officers reluctantly placed their guns on the ground.
The employees remained motionless, never having seen Jaiden like this before.
“You, come here.”
Jaiden pointed at Jane behind Patrick.
Everyone took a deep breath. Jaiden actually wanted Jane!
Patrick clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth. “You won’t lay a finger on her.”
“You dare to defy me!”
Upon hearing those words, Jaiden’s finger began to squeeze the trigger of the gun.
If he let go, everyone in the room would be doomed.
“Come here.”
“I’m fine…”
Tears welled up in Jane’s eyes as she stepped forward, surpassing Patrick, who kept calling out to her from behind.
“No, you can’t go!”
Patrick reached out his hand, but the next second, Jaiden’s fierce gaze sent a message.
He was forced to stop in his tracks, watching as Jane walked step by step towards Jaiden, who gradually let down his guard.
“Bang!”
A loud noise rang out as Patrick swiftly picked up the gun from the ground and shot Jaiden in the arm.
“Ah…”
Jaiden cried out in pain, dropping the gun from his hand.
“It’s a fake gun!”
The police shouted loudly, and soon they prepared to surround him again.
However, as Jane was already too close to Jaiden, he endured the pain in his hand, grabbed Jane, who was desperately trying to escape, and reached the window. He then leaped out.
“Quick, chase them! Catch up!”
Patrick’s eyes turned red. His beloved had been taken away by Jaiden right in front of him. He ran to the window and followed suit, leaping out.
A few employees stayed inside the house, and the police left a few officers to watch over them before following Jaiden’s direction.
Blood kept flowing from Jaiden’s hand as he ran, leaving a trail on the street.
Jane continued to struggle in his grip, but being sick, she had no strength at all. Her punches on Jaiden’s body were completely ineffective.
