A minute later, Rickard guessed that something must have gone wrong at Hesper’s apartment, but he could not let his guard down by Renfrew’s side.
"I’ll stay here to guard the ward."
Isaac and Renee had already heard the commotion and rushed over in a hurry. Seeing Rickard’s expression, they immediately guessed that something must have happened to Hesper, so they hurriedly reassured Rickard. "We’ll protect Young Master Renfrew."
Rickard did not doubt this; he was only worried about the things that Daybreak would do. However, the situation that they were in now did not allow him to hesitate, so he nodded instantly. "I’ll go and find Hesper... But there has been no reply for so long, so I don’t have high hopes."
Renee took a deep breath. "Mr. Duval, you should go now."
After handing Renfrew over to Isaac and Renee, Rickard led his men all the way to Hesper’s apartment.
"Is that Benji?"
As soon as they entered the apartment building, there was a faint smell of blood. Rickard frowned, and the people behind him suddenly pointed to the stairwell. Rickard turned his head and saw Benji lying on the door of the stairwell. His heart skipped a beat, and all of them hurried over.
Benji was stabbed in the waist, and he seemed to have lost too much blood and had passed out.
"Get him to the hospital now."
Benji’s condition meant that Hesper had been taken away by Daybreak. Rickard frowned, and his men followed him tacitly upstairs and walked into Hesper’s apartment through the broken door.
Judging from the degree of damage to the door lock, the people from Daybreak broke in and took Hesper away. When they found Renfrew at the ward, he had just replied to Hesper’s message.
‘So everything has been within Daybreak’s plan to look one way and row another, and their goal was never Renfrew but Hesper.’
