“Hansen, where are you?” Jenna’s concerned voice came from the other side of the phone.
The corners of Hansen’s mouth curled.
“Jenna, I have something to handle outside. You should go to bed early.” Of course, Hansen would not tell her about such a big event, lest she was frightened.
Jenna’s eyelids had been twitching the whole day, and her mood was unsettled. When she heard the calm and gentle tone from Hansen, her heart was finally at ease.
“Hansen, get home soon. I’ll wait for you.” Without him, Jenna could not fall asleep. Jenna was pregnant. So, she relied heavily on Hansen, and her heart was also fragile.
“Little fool, I have a few dinner parties today. I will be home very late. Don’t wait for me, go to bed early and rest, okay? Otherwise, I will be unhappy.” Hearing this, Hansen felt uncomfortable, and his voice on the phone was a bit serious.
“Alright.” Jenna pursed her lips and put down the phone. Now that Paul had gone to Capital City and Irvin was still in Africa, there were some things that she could not figure out. However, she believed that Hansen wouldn’t hide anything from her. Since he informed her that he had something to do outside, she would believe him.
In the hospital at midnight, the noise gradually fell silent, and the patients’ groans in the ward was obvious.
The doctors and nurses on each floor went to their lounges after the last shift ended.
The corridor was quiet.
A dark figure slowly approached the gate of the hospital.
Sitting in the Hummer, Hansen stared at the figure with sharp eyes. He’d finally come!
Yaris, the man who had once won his trust, had betrayed him. He had almost put the Richards Group and the woman Hansen loved in a situation where they would never be able to recover.
Hansen couldn’t forgive this man.
He clenched his fists, but he didn’t take any action.
Hansen noticed the people who followed him outside. They did not enter the hospital but instead stood outside of the hospital, watching inside with vigilance.
Yaris entered the elevator successfully.
The floor indicator on the elevator was changing over and over again. After going up and down several times, he came out of the elevator.
The people and police who were guarding the entrance followed quietly.
The long cap almost covered half of Yaris’s face, but it did not prevent Hansen from recognizing him.
“Stop, don’t move.” A cold pistol was placed on his waist.
Yaris’ face was pale.
“Who are you? Why do you want to catch me?” Even though he knew that he was guilty, he still pretended to be innocent.
Fletcher sneered and shouted in a stern voice, “Yaris, don’t f*cking pretend to be innocent. Mr. Richards trusted you and promoted you to be the global director, but you betrayed him. How dare you frame the Richards Group about the unauthorized disclosure of classified information? You are really abominable! Now, both Mr. Richards and the law won’t be able to forgive you. Do the right thing and follow us. The police are waiting for you.”
As he was speaking, Yaris’ hand quickly reached into his pocket.
“D*mn it.” The people under Fletcher were sharp-eyed and kicked at Yaris’ hand. Someone took the opportunity to knock down Yaris and search him, finding a pistol and a sharp knife on him.
“Yaris, you are suspected of a corporate crime and are under arrest.” At this time, the police lying in ambush also gathered around and raised the arrest warrant in their hand.
At this point, Yaris knew that he could not escape. So, he lowered his head, with his face full of defeat.
Hansen was standing at the entrance of the corridor, with his gaze sharp and cold. The lights along the corridor shone on his face, and his expression was frigid as he stared at Yaris.
The group of people escorted Yaris towards Hansen.
“Mr., Mr. Richards…” Yaris looked up and saw Hansen standing in front of him. He opened his mouth and stammered, avoiding his eyes.
Hansen sneered and yelled sternly, “Yaris, you have guts. How dare you betray me?”
Yaris’ face was full of guilt. He did not dare to look directly into Hansen’s eyes. However, his mother had been right in front of him, and the thought of not getting what he’d come here for was unbearable. Yaris was torn with grief. Suddenly, he knelt down and desperately begged. “Mr. Richards, I know that I have done you wrong, but can you please let me see my mother?”
He pleaded loudly as he bowed at Hansen’s feet.
Hansen’s brows were tightly furrowed. His face was expressionless.
“Mr. Richards, this person is shameless. Don’t mind him. Take him back to the police station for interrogation. It’s just a matter of time before more trouble occurs.” Fletcher was impatient, hastily suggesting from the side.
“Mr. Richards, I beg you. Let me take a look at my mother, just a glance. We both have parents, and I’m sure you know how I feel. I beg you.” After hearing Fletcher’s words, Yaris became more desperate. He knelt and begged Hansen loudly.
Hansen sighed and loosened his tie. He cast a glance at Yaris’ mother’s ward.
“Fletcher, take him in to take a look at Elowyn.” Hansen suddenly directed Fletcher.
“Mr. Richards, don’t.” Fletcher objected loudly when he heard this. This guy just tried to take out his pistol to resist arrest. If he was taken to the ward, there would be some trouble.
“It’s alright. The police will follow them.” Hansen looked at the police beside him and spoke to Fletcher once again.
The person knew how to be filial, which indicated that his conscience had not completely disappeared yet. Hansen could give him this opportunity.
Fletcher saw that Hansen’s expression was firm. He had no choice but to turn around and walk to the ward with Yaris. Fortunately, the police were following him. So, he felt relieved.
“Yaris.” Jonah White finally saw his son and tears of joy welled up in his eyes.
“Mom.” Yaris strode into the hospital ward and saw Elowyn lying on her deathbed. He wailed as his tears streamed down his face.
This time, Yaris actually had not intended to leave immediately because Elowyn was still alive, and he wanted to stay by her side until her last breath.
Nonetheless, it was obvious that there were no more chances left.
In the ward, the scene of loved ones sending off their dying relatives was heartbreaking.
Outside, Hansen quietly ordered his men to move closer to the people who were following them outside. If he could capture a few more of Zoella’s men alive, then he might find the murderer who had attempted to assassinate Jenna previously. That way, Zoella’s crime would be even more serious.
Yaris was quickly escorted out by Fletcher.
“Speak. Who made you do this? Why did you want to frame our company?” Hansen sternly asked Yaris.
Yaris’s face was wet with tears. He knew that he could not escape as he had fallen into their hands. He immediately drooped his head and answered, “Mr. Richards, I have let you down. You can do whatever you want with me.”
Yaris didn’t intend to deny it.
“Is that so?” Hansen sneered. “I’m afraid that just dealing with you alone is too light. Today, you must reveal the mastermind behind the crime and confess to the crime that you committed. Elowyn is dying, and Jonah is not young anymore. If you don’t want to hurt them, then you’ll have to account for the crime and try to make it easier for them.”
At the mention of his parents, Yaris, who had been trying to maintain his composure, became depressed and anxious. He could take everything else, but the thought of his elderly parents made his heart tremble. He felt a sense of loss and fear.
“You’re not a man. You spent so many years studying, and yet you can’t even understand the principle of filial piety to your parents, and you have done something illegal. I could have taken you away without seeing your parents, but after taking into account their emotions, I allowed you to meet them. If you still have a conscience, then you would reveal the truth and strive for lenient sentence. I believe the law will give you a way out. Otherwise, you know the consequences.”
Hansen reminded Yaris seriously, hoping that he would wake up.
However, it was too late.
With the sound of a gunshot, a bullet was shot through the window.
Everyone was dumbfounded as they didn’t expect a sniper to come at them.
“Mr. Richards, be careful.” A dark shadow jumped down from the darkness and pushed Hansen away. Then, the bullet pierced Yaris’ chest at lightning speed.
Yaris only had time to let out a miserable cry before opening his eyes wide and looking out of the window.
“Quick, someone is shooting at us from outside!”
“Quick, catch the murderer!”
…
When Hansen was pushed away, he immediately realized something and ran down the stairs.
Fortunately, it was only on the second floor. So, he quickly caught up to them.
He reached the entrance of the hospital.
He saw a dark shadow quickly get in an all-terrain vehicle.
The car soon started and sped off.
“D*mn it.” According to his intuition, Yaris would be seriously injured this time. Hansen had no time to care about his life and death. Besides, there were police next to him, and they would interrogate him.
He quickly got on the Hummer and chased after the speeding vehicle.
His Hummer’s engine had the highest horsepower. So, catching up with the off-road vehicle was just a piece of cake.
He wanted to catch up to the person who had taken Yaris out. During the wedding banquet at Richards Manor, Reid had been assassinated by the same method of sniping. This person could very possibly hold an important clue, and would be much more important than Yaris.
In the early hours of the morning, there were not many cars on the street. Hansen skilfully drove his beloved Hummer, chasing the vehicle as fast as he could.
These people wouldn’t stop until they reached their goal. They kept trying to get at him. If he didn’t get rid of them, the Richards Group would never see a peaceful day.
He was furious.
The police car behind him also started to blare their sirens, and they followed him all the way.
Hansen calmly drove his car and did his best to catch up with the vehicle.
They started to play a cat-and-mouse game.
Hansen’s Hummer was about to catch up with the vehicle.
In a hurry, the car turned against the traffic’s flow and drove into the overpass at the side.
Hansen’s hawk-like eyes stared at the vehicle. He turned the steering wheel slightly, and the Hummer roared and immediately followed. The people in the vehicle in front became anxious and began to shoot at Hansen.
The bullets landed on the Hummer’s security glass, sending out bursts of noises and sparks. Hansen’s eyes narrowed.
How dare he fire shots in broad daylight? There was no law and order at all.
Hansen stepped on the accelerator, and the Hummer rushed towards the all-terrain vehicle at high speed.
