Chapter 2044
"Who is this on the phone?" Hansen looked at Luke, confused.
"This is my friend, Rain. She's following their car right now. Those men in the car are likely coming forme," Luke said. Although Gale and Rain always called him 'Boss', they had gone through life and deathtogether. Hence, he did not see them as his subordinates.
Rain heard Luke and was moved. That was why she and Gale had been so loyal to him.
Hansen wondered how they knew that the people in the car were coming for him since they had notarrived yet. Anyway, Ray had given an order to protect Luke, so he said, "Okay, Ms. Rain, got it. Followthem and protect yourself."
Rain let out a hum and followed behind the off-road vehicle. She glanced at the map. They were gettingcloser and closer to the restaurant.
Since the men sent by Ray had arrived at the scene, they won in numbers. They were skilled too, soshe was relieved.
When Hansen walked in from the door, he had observed the layout of the restaurant and found that itwas relatively safe for Luke to stay in the private room. He said, "Mr. Crawford, I'll go out first andarrange my men. You and your assistant will stay here in the private room."
"Okay. Please, if you can, I want them alive. Also, I've called the police. Pay attention and don't bringany trouble to yourselves," Luke reminded them.
Hansen frowned. They could attend to this kind of thing themselves. There was no need for the policeto come.
However, he thought to himself that Luke was not an ordinary person. There must be a reason why healerted the police. They just needed to be more careful when they did things and not leave anynovelbin
evidence.
"I see. Thanks for the reminder." Hansen walked out and started mobilizing his men.
Since the police were involved, they had to be lowkey when they subdued the men.
He got his men to quickly hide, intending to catch those men off guard.
After Hansen left, Jason walked over and closed the door as instructed by Hansen.
Luke said, "Call Gale and see where's Luca."
Jason stood behind the door, nodded, and called Gale.
Rain had already informed Gale about what was about to happen. He answered the call as soon as thephone rang, "Mr. Doyle, did something happen to the boss?"
"No, it's temporarily safe here. The men are still some distance away. The boss asked me to ask youwhere Dr. Craw is now." Jason let him know that Luke was safe.
Aside from some of those from the Crawford family and Luca, they would be next in line when it cameto people who cared about Luke's safety the most.
"The tracking signal shows that Dr. Craw is now at the subway entrance. My subordinate who's trackingLuca told me that she just got out of the subway. She seems to be headed back to the hotel," Galesaid.
Jason thought of the subway entrance near the hotel and glanced at Luke.
Luke said in a low voice, "Protect her."
Gale, who was on the other end of the phone, was speechless. Luke was about to be assassinated, butall he cared about was that they protected Luca.
"Boss, don't worry."
On the other end of Luke's phone, Rain followed the men until they reached the intersection of therestaurant. She said, "Boss, they're almost there."
Luke looked at Jason and said, "Okay."
At the same time, Gale said, "Boss, Dr. Craw has gotten out of the subway. The person following hersaid that she's not going back to the hotel but..."
He paused. After he determined Luca's location, he immediately said, "She's heading for therestaurant."
"How did she change direction?" Luke asked, not wanting Luca to get involved.
They were not aware of the weapons the men were carrying. Luca would be at risk since she camebarehanded and there was a wound on her waist.
Gale replied, "She bumped into an employee of T Corporation on the way back to the hotel. I think thatthe other party told her that you're still here, so Dr. Craw is running over."
'She's running?'
Luke frowned because Luca was disregarding her wound! He immediately asked, "Rain, how is thesituation over there?"
"I'm still in the car. Those men have already gotten out of the car. They're all carrying big blackbackpacks. There are four people in total. Boss, they have weapons." Rain sat in the car and observed
everything. She did not know what was going on in the restaurant and could only wait in the car so asnot to startle them. "Boss, should I get out of the car now?"
"No. Let Hansen and the others deal with it," Luke said. The danger was approaching, but he was stillcalm as if he was not facing an assassination. The only thing he was worried about was Luca.
"Okay, I see." Rain agreed. She didn't have hot weapons, plus there were many people on the otherside. She could not subdue them if she relied only on cold weapons.
"Monitor the road. If you see Luca rushing over here, even if you have to reveal your identity, you haveto stop her before we settle the situation here," Luke said. This would be the safest for Luca and Rain.
"Okay, got it." Rain unbuckled her seat belt, picked up the steel rod in the back seat, and was ready toget out of the car at any time.
"Boss, they're in."
As soon as Rain said that, Luke heard noises outside.
It was Hansen talking to someone outside.
Luke did not go out. He knew that Hansen and the others would definitely not use hot weaponsbecause he had called the police. If he went out now, it would cause them trouble.
A few seconds later, a gunshot was heard.
They could not see what was going on outside. Jason dragged the chair to place it beside him, ready toprotect Luke.
Rain could hear everything clearly. At the same time, she saw Luca running over from a distance.
"Ugh..." She put the steel rod aside and immediately opened the car door to block Luca's way.
"It's you!" Luca recognized Rain at a glance. She had heard the gunshot as well.
"Don't go in!" Rain stopped Luca.
"Mr. Crawford is still inside!" Luca could not care less. She just wanted to protect Luke. After all, thosepeople had guns.
She followed them because she knew that Luke did not have any weapon on him.
"Mr. Ray's subordinates are inside. Dr. Craw, you won't be doing anything but causing trouble if you goin right now," Rain said. She had heard that Luca was skilled. She knew she would have to take actionif she could not stop her.
The gunfire was still ongoing. Luca was worried about Luke's condition.
"Those men have guns."
"There are more than ten people inside to protect the boss," Rain said. She insisted on blocking Luca'sway.
Luke listened to the chaotic sounds outside and heard Luca's anxious tone. He said nothing. He wasfine as long as Rain managed to stop her.
There were screams from the people outside. Luke guessed that the police were close.
