"We're in the suburbs now. We can't get you a van in such a short time. You can drive our police car so that you can escape smoothly all the way." Owen said as he took the car key from the pocket on his waist and threw it to Boss Peng.
Boss Peng wanted to run away as far as he could. He asked the gangster behind him to pick up the car key and then said to Owen, "When I get in the car, I will let her go."
"Okay." Owen and other policemen made way for Boss Peng and those gangsters.
Among those gangsters, Boss Peng was the only one who had a gun. He naturally brought up the rear and let other gangsters get on the car first.
"Cynthia, go with me." Boss Peng whispered in Cynthia's ear maliciously. He thought that it was all Cynthia's fault, so he wanted to take her away and found a place to rape her so as to relieve his hatred!
Hearing Boss Peng's words, Cynthia understood what he wanted to do. She was so desperate that she did not even have the strength to cry. She could only be dragged away by Boss Peng feebly.
When she passed by Patrick, she glanced at him with tears, as if she was saying goodbye to him...
Boss Peng's attention was focused on Owen. Then Patrick suddenly twisted Boss Peng's hand which was holding the gun, then hit Boss Peng's chest with his elbow with great strength!
Boss Peng was knocked back two steps, then the gun fell off his hand and Patrick took it away quickly!
It was just a blink of an eye from the moment Patrick raised his hands to the moment he took away the gun.
Patrick was angry. Thinking that Boss Peng dared kidnap Amelia, he immediately pointed the gun at Boss Peng coldly.
"Bang!"
The bullet shot through Boss Peng's left shoulder. Boss Peng felt so painful in his arm that he had to let go of Cynthia.
Without hesitation, Cynthia pushed Boss Peng away and ran to Patrick.
If it weren't for the fact that kidnapping someone wasn't enough to be sentenced to death, Patrick would have shot Boss Peng to death.
Owen immediately ordered the policemen to follow the police carthat had been driven away.
Just as everyone was off guard because Boss Peng was injured and Cynthia was saved, Boss Peng took out another gun from his pocket with his arm trembling and pressed the trigger...
"Watch out, Patrick!" Owen shouted at Patrick anxiously as he shot Boss Peng to death mercilessly!
Just as the bullet was about to hit Patrick, Cynthia suddenly took a step forward and took the bullet for Patrick with her thin body!
The blood was red, but the world in Amelia's eyes was only gray and white, because she felt too shocked.
She watched as Cynthia fell to the ground with her limbs twitching slightly...
Then, Patrick picked up Cynthia who was bleeding and said in a deep and trembling voice, "You will be fine. Don't be afraid."
In the Hopper Family.
Cynthia's operation lasted for an entire night. At dawn, the doctor informed them that Cynthia was out of danger for the time being.
Patrick asked with cold and serious eyes, "What do you mean by 'for the time being'?"
The doctor said hesitantly, "The bullet has been taken out successfully, but she might die at any time."
After hearing this, Cynthia's staggered as if he had suffered a great blow.
Amelia immediately reached out to support him, "Uncle, are you all right?"
Cynthia's father glanced at Amelia. Patrick had told him about Amelia's identity, so he said to Amelia respectfully, "I... only have one son and one daughter. I can't except my son to become a successful person, but Cynthia has always been sensible. If she dies, I... might as well die with her!"
Cynthia's father burst into tears when he said that.
