Soon, Jaiden found a car on the road and without hesitation, threw Jane into it and sat in the driver’s seat. He slammed his foot on the gas pedal.
Patrick was chasing them from behind and saw Jaiden drive away. The police were also coming towards them in their patrol car.
Patrick quickly got into his own car and chased after Jaiden’s vehicle.
“Let me go!”
Jaiden had tied Jane’s hands together, causing her to roll around in the back seat until she fell out of the car.
“You better behave yourself!”
Jaiden drove recklessly while speaking harshly to Jane.
He pushed down hard on the gas pedal, speeding all the way until they reached a dead end street.
Looking back, Jaiden saw that no one from law enforcement was following him anymore; he breathed a sigh of relief.
He stopped the car and easily picked up Jane before throwing her onto some nearby firewood.
“What are you doing?”
Jane shouted at him but then suddenly realized that he had blood all over his face as he leaned closer to her.
“You better be quiet or else I’ll take care of you right here.”
In an instant, Jaiden made a motion like he was slitting someone’s throat with his hand.
Jane knew she didn’t have any power against him at this point so she just accepted her fate quietly.
She calmed down for a moment before looking around at their surroundings.
“Patrick will catch up soon enough; even if you run to heaven they’ll find you.”
Jane glared at him angrily but because she was still under his control, spoke more softly than before.
“I don’t need your help with anything,” said Jaiden as he looked down at his bloody arm. Sitting on the ground through intense pain without any anesthesia or doctor present, he removed the bullet lodged deep inside himself.
“Ahhhhh!!!”
The horrifying screams echoed through the air as Jane sat stunned on the side.
No anesthesia, no doctor, yet Jaiden managed to remove the bullet himself.
It had to be said that Jaiden was truly a remarkable individual.
Then, Jaiden tore off his own clothes and began bandaging his wound.
The skin on the man’s waist was exposed, causing Jane to instinctively close her eyes.
After finishing the bandaging, Jaiden turned his head and, seeing Jane’s nervous expression, he laughed, something he rarely did.
“Why are you laughing?” Jane lowered her voice, knowing she had to buy some time for Patrick to come and save her.
On her way here, she noticed that Jaiden’s blood had splattered on the car door. However, he was too anxious and didn’t realize that blood was continuously dripping on the ground.
But as they entered the alley, the blood stopped. It seemed that the speed of the dripping blood was too fast, and by the time they reached the alley, it had already ceased.
“You, woman, when I look closely, you’re actually quite beautiful.”
Jaiden carefully examined Jane’s face. He had never paid much attention to Jane before, but now, he couldn’t help but think she was much prettier than Molly.
Jane instinctively swallowed her saliva. Why was Jaiden talking about these things at a time like this? What was his intention?
Seeing Jane remain silent, Jaiden shook his head and stood up, casually entering one of the houses in the alley.
He had driven at a high speed, so Patrick probably couldn’t catch up for now. He would rest here temporarily tonight.
Little did he know that as he stood up, the clothes he had previously torn apart had been propped up, revealing something hidden inside, which Jane noticed immediately.
Explosives…
Jane widened her eyes, astonished to find that Jaiden had explosives on him as well.
The gun he had in the room earlier was fake, indicating he hadn’t reached that point yet.
If Jaiden was pushed to his limits, he might choose to perish along with her.
Jane clenched her teeth, but Jaiden glanced at the explosives around his waist and showed no concern.
“Are you scared now? Be obedient, or else…”
Jaiden’s mocking smile reached Jane’s ears. She closed her eyes, unwilling to look at him.
It had to be said that Jaiden had truly gone mad…
Using such despicable means just to escape.
Fortunately, Patrick hadn’t hit Jaiden’s waist earlier. Otherwise, they would both be doomed by now.
But if Jaiden wasn’t captured soon, it would become a difficult situation to handle.
Jane slowly closed her eyes. If she could perish here with Jaiden, at least this matter would have a peaceful ending.
But in her mind, she couldn’t help but think of her grandfather.
As the wealthiest man in the North family, her grandfather had always showered her with love and care.
Then, she inadvertently thought of Patrick.
If she really perished with Jaiden, she didn’t know if Patrick would be able to accept it…
“Beep!”
The next second, the sound of police sirens echoed through the entire alley.
Patrick and the others had arrived!
Jane widened her eyes and looked at the police cars with flashing lights in front of her, tears of excitement forming at the corners of her eyes.
“Patrick…”
The name escaped her lips as she saw several police officers quickly approaching, with Patrick right behind them.
In the moment Patrick saw Jane bound, his heart felt as if it were being cut by a thousand knives.
He wanted to step forward and bring Jane to safety, but he was stopped by the police.
“I didn’t expect you to come so quickly,” Jaiden said as he emerged from inside. When everyone saw the explosives on his body, they took a step back.
Patrick, on the other hand, widened his eyes, worried that something might happen to Jane.
“Now, I’ll give you two options. One is to let me go, and the other…”
He looked at Jane beside him. “I’ll die together with that woman!”
“You wish!” Patrick gritted his teeth, countering Jaiden in pain. “If anything happens to her, I’ll make you suffer more than death.”
A chill ran down the spines of the onlookers as Patrick’s once handsome face turned fierce like a beast.
Jaiden was frightened by Patrick’s appearance, and indeed, Jane was his only weakness.
“Hmph, let’s see who… Ah!”
Before he could finish his sentence, Patrick appeared in front of Jaiden in a flash.
His movements were lightning-fast, catching Jaiden off guard.
Just as Jaiden was about to make a move, Patrick swiftly snatched the lighter from his hand and forcefully restrained his arm behind his back.
Jaiden had already exerted a lot of energy during his escape, and now he was trapped in Patrick’s grasp, unable to move.
With his actions, Patrick had deprived Jaiden of his freedom of movement, taken away the lighter, and prevented him from detonating the explosives around his waist.
The police acted swiftly, immediately taking Jane behind them and then escorting Jaiden into the police car.
The explosives on his body were removed and handed over to the police.
Patrick held Jane in his arms, carefully checking if she had any injuries.
