Female Novel
Chapter 2043
Jason understood him. He stood behind Luke and was ready to push him out of there at any time.
Luke opted to put his safety aside to ensure that Luca would not leave. He even asked everyone tofollow Luca to ensure that she would not disappear into thin air.
Jason could tell that his boss' love for Luca was engraved on his bones and inscribed on his heart.
All he could think about was whether Luca would leave him, not whether he would encounter anydanger. Otherwise, he would not have allocated all the manpower to her and left no one by his side.
Luke's phone rang. In the private room, the ringing was like a warning bell, stimulating everyone'snerves.
Jason could not help but wipe the sweat from his forehead. It was the first time he had been sonervous.
He held his breath, watching Luke pick up the phone.
The call was from Rain.
"Boss, where are you now?" Rain asked.
"I'm in a restaurant," Luke answered truthfully. He did not plan to tell her about the email he received sothat she could keep her focus on Luca.
"When we were following Ms. Craw, we found that she entered a beauty salon. She walked out after ashort time and then took the subway. Two men came out of the salon not long after her. Gale thought itwas suspicious and asked me to follow them," Rain told Luke her itinerary.
"Why did Gale plan it as such?" Luke frowned. Luca's anti-reconnaissance ability was strong. All waswell if Gale lost her and she went back to the hotel.
He was just afraid that Luca dumped them and left.
Perhaps someone forcibly took her away on her way back to the hotel. In that case, if there was oneless person to help, Luca was more likely to be taken away.
"That's because these two men are suspicious. Boss, don't be angry yet. I've been following them. Ithink they're heading toward you..." Rain said. That was why she called him.
She and Gale both knew about Ray. Although everyone thought that person was going after Ray, theywere still worried.
Therefore, in the past two days, they had been extra alert to every movement around them.
As such, after she realized that the car in front might be heading toward the hotel, she immediatelyinformed Luke.
Luke frowned at what Rain said. It was possible they could find out more about Luca from these twomen.
He had no choice but to say, "I got an email saying people were sent to assassinate me."
Rain was shocked and almost did not stop the car in time. When she saw that the car in front of herstopped because of the red traffic light, she pressed the brake hard and stopped the car only fivecentimeters away.
"Boss, I'm coming over now," she said. Rain planned to cut through the next driveway and run the redlight.
"No, I've asked Ray to send people over. Stay with the two men and find out their identities." Lukestopped Rain from coming over. He wanted to know if the two men were from the Island of Despair.
If yes, then he could confirm that Luca was being controlled by the Island of Despair.
In this way, he could dig deeper and save her, the love of his life, out of the fire pit.
"Boss!" Rain said impatiently. No matter what, she could not bear to leave Luke in danger.
"If you regard me as your boss, listen to what I say. Go, follow those two men. I don't need you here."Luke said. Those men might be coming to assassinate him.
As such, he planned to take a chance. He bet that God would not let him die there.
"Okay..." Rain bit her lip. The red light in front of her turned green. She stepped on the accelerator tokeep up. Although she was reluctant, she had to obey Luke's orders.
In the past, she would never have been so worried, but Luke's legs were injured and he probably didnot have any weapons on him.
"Don't hang up. Let me know if the car you're following is near the hotel," Luke said.
Although Ray had sent his men, this matter had to be handed to the police.
Ray had some influence in Russia. If the police handled this matter, he could find out more about thesituation.
"Got it." Rain followed the car in front, keeping a certain distance from it so that the other party wouldnot be suspicious.
She looked at the navigation. They were getting closer and closer to the hotel...
When they were one kilometer away from the hotel, Rain said, "Boss, I've been following the car. We'llarrive at the hotel after another kilometer."
"Got it." Luke. After he knew that his guess was right, he asked Jason for his phone.
Jason handed him the phone.
Luke called the police. Rain's heart clenched as she listened to him communicating with the local policein Russian.
These men were after Luke.
'There's only one kilometer left until we arrive. Can Ray's men and the police make it there in time?'
Rain did not know. She held her breath and continued to follow the car in front.
She had no weapons and was bare-handed. She would have no problem dealing with two men whowere bare-handed as well. However, she was informed that they may have weapons.
'How am I going to deal with two men with weapons by myself?'
Rain looked at the back of the car and saw nothing but an iron stick.
On the other end of the phone, Luke ended the call with the local police.
Rain kept him updated about the distance. "Boss, we're about 500 meters away."
"I'm at a nearby restaurant. It's about a kilometer away," Luke said. He believed that these men wouldnot head to the hotel to find him.
If they were from the Island of Despair, they would not act so unreliably.
Rain pursed her lips and saw that they were turning at the intersection ahead. She hurriedly followedbehind them, and at the same time, she checked the map.
Sure enough, they were heading for the restaurant.
"Boss, they're going to the restaurant." Rain affirmed.
At the same time, someone called.
Luke frowned and answered, "This is Luke."
"Mr. Crawford, I'm Hansen. I've arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, but it's closed. Are youinside?" Hansen said.
"I'll have someone open the door," Luke said.
"Great."
"Ray's men are here. Go open the door," Luke said.
Jason nodded, quickly left the private room, and went to open the door for Hansen and the others.
Jason saw a dozen people standing at the entrance and immediately said, "Come in."
Hansen took the lead and walked in. "Where's Mr. Crawford?"
"The boss is in the private room," Jason said.
Hansen walked into the private room and was relieved to see Luke sitting in a wheelchair safe andsound. "Mr. Crawford, we're here to protect you under the order of the boss. We have 13 men in total."
"There aren't that many people coming for you." Rain heard Hansen and told him. Gale said that therewere only two men. It was unclear whether there were other people in the car.novelbin
It was an off-road vehicle, so they were not expecting many.
