Female Novel
Chapter 2045
"I can help. You have to trust me." Luca looked anxious. She could hear everything even though theywere several shops away.
The nearby businesses closed their doors in fright when they heard the gunshots.
"Dr. Craw, I'm carrying out the order given by the boss. You have to trust the boss. He can handle it."Rain still opted to stand in her way.
Luca did not think that Luke could handle it.
If his legs were not injured, it would have been fine. However, his legs were injured. He would not beable to dodge the bullets!
"I'm sorry." Luca clenched her fists and was about to hit Rain when she heard the sound of sirens in thedistance.
The police were there.
Luca turned around and saw two police cars speeding past.
Rain said, "This is all arranged by the boss. He'll be fine."
Luca was worried. 'Even if Luke has planned everything, can he predict where the bullets will go?'
The gunshots sounded many times in just a few minutes. The situation inside was unknown. She couldnot help but get angry when she thought of how Luke might be injured and Rain insisted on not lettingher in.
She stared at Rain and said, "If anything happens to Mr. Crawford, you'll never hear the end of it!"
After she said that, she jogged toward the restaurant.
Rain was stunned. She knew who Luca was. She was surprised that someone so gentle would saysuch mean words because of Luke.
She could not believe it. At the same time, she asked the person on the other end of the phone, "Boss,are you all right?"
"I'm fine." Luke had overheard the conversation between the two. His heartstrings were slightly pulledwhen he heard what Luca said.
Rain breathed a sigh of relief. She was glad that he was fine.
If something happened to Luke, she would not be at ease.
Gale hurried over and asked, "How's the situation inside?"
"The police have arrived and the gunfire has stopped. The boss is inside. I just asked and he said he'sokay. I'll have to make a move," Rain said. Since she was exposed, she was unsure if Luca wouldremember that she had followed her to the coffee shop prior to this.
"Okay, let's go." Gale nodded, got into the car with Rain, and left.novelbin
After the police arrived, they quickly managed the scene inside.
Luca wanted to go in but was stopped by the police. She could only look inside through the glasswindow.
Luke was pushed out by Jason.
The Russian police asked, "Did you call the police?"
"Yes." Luke nodded and looked at the four people on the ground. Even though they had hot weapons intheir hands, they were beaten up badly. Their faces were bruised, and they looked a little embarrassed.
Hansen and the others were all squatting. They did not seem to be seriously injured.
"In that case, come with us to the police station to record a statement." One of the policemen said ashe gestured to the other policemen to handcuff the people on the ground.
"No problem. Except for the four with guns, the others are my friends. We happened to be havingdinner here. They stepped in to protect me." Luke added.
The leading policeman understood that the others did not use illegal weapons but were acting inselfdefense. He said to his subordinates, "Lock up these four people. The others should follow thepolice car back to the station and give your statements."
When she saw the four people in handcuffs being taken out by the police, Luca immediately turnedaround and quickly walked away so that they would not notice her.
After Jason pushed Luke out, he said to the police, "Sir, can we go in our car?"
They were not prisoners and had not done anything wrong, so the policeman was fine with it. "Go forit."
Luke looked at Luca, who was walking away. His gaze was deep. ‘She cares about me, but it's alsotrue that she's trying to escape.'
He looked at the four men who were brought into the police car and guessed that Luca walked awaybecause did not want to be discovered by these men. As for why she did not want to be discovered bythese men, it was most likely because that email had something to do with her.
She must have walked into the beauty salon, heard the men's conversation, and hurriedly sent anemail to remind him after she left the salon.
She was silently protecting him.
The police car drove away, and one of the men saw Luca from the window.
'This woman...' He recognized Luca at a glance and knew that she was the one who had just taken theantidote at the beauty salon.
The hotel driver Jason summoned waited by the side of the road.
Luca slowly walked over.
"Mr. Crawford, are you alright?" Luca asked. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he wasunscathed. She needed to hear Luke tell her in person that he was okay.
"I'm fine." Luke looked at her face. She was obviously concerned, but her gaze was cold. No otheremotions were seen.
It was like a formulaic greeting.
However, behind that blandness, Luke knew that she was trying to hide her love for him.
The hotel car slowly parked on the side of the road. Jason said, "Boss, we have to go to the policestation."
"Mm." Luke nodded, letting Jason help him into the car.
After Luke got into the car, Jason kept the wheelchair and said to Luca, "Dr. Craw, the boss is going tothe police station. You should go back to the hotel first."
"Okay." Luca did not leave immediately. She watched Jason get into the car and close the door. Afterthe car slowly left, she walked back to the hotel.
When she got back to the hotel, she saw Mr. Zac, who hurried over. "Ms. Craw, you're back?"
"Yeah, Mr. Zac. Where are you going?" Luca looked at him. He seemed like he was in a hurry and waswearing thick clothes while holding a briefcase. She guessed that he was going out.
"Mr. Crawford asked me to go to the police station," Mr. Zac said. He did not know what was going onbecause Luke did not make it clear.
"Mr. Crawford is on the way to the police station now. He's going to make a statement. It's not a bigdeal," Luca said. She guessed that Luke was getting Mr. Zac involved because something hadhappened.
"Okay, I'll head off now,” Mr. Zac said and headed to the police station.
Luca returned to the suite and turned on her laptop.
There must be new reports in the Russian media since there was a shootout. She thought that thenews would break within half an hour. In that sense, it also meant that Abel would soon find out.
She felt uneasy when she thought of Abel.
The phone rang. Luca looked at it, saw a string of garbled characters, and frowned.
'Abel found out so quickly?'
She took a deep breath and answered the phone.
"Luca?" The voice on the other end of the line was not Abel.
Luca could tell that it was Shanks. She was a little surprised. It was the first time he called her sinceshe had been out of the island. "Mr. Shanks, what can I do for you?"
"Are you free? I want to meet you," Shanks said. He had successfully left the island and was now in thecity Luca was in.
It was late, so Luca was reluctant to go out. She wanted to wait for Luke to come back.
