All were screaming and hiding; there was only one guard left beside the Maybach. He figured out the direction from where the bullets were coming from and shot there.
But it was too far away, and he didn't hit the sniper, only the window.
Harry had already ran out of SL building, followed by his guards with shields in their hands.
Looking at the backseat of the Maybach, which had several holes in it, Harry became extremely worried.
The phone lost its signal inside the elevator and their call had been cut. He didn't know how Lola was now.
He rushed towards the Maybach and he also aimed at the direction from where the bullets were coming from and shot. The shots coming from the window finally stopped and the guards surrounded the Maybach with their shields.
A wailing police siren was heard coming close to them, but Harry didn't pay too much attention to it and hastily opened the backseats' door.
Lola raised her head and looked at him. He had finally come! She felt more relieved, but by now she could feel the pain in her left arm stinging more and more.
"How are you? Have you been hurt? Tell me!" His voice quivered restless.
Lola shook her head and Harry calmed down.
"My arm..." She tried to raise her left arm.
Looking at her bloody left arm, he thought it might have been scraped by a bullet.
He was furious. Who had dared to try and kill his wife? He had to unmask the murderer and execute him with his own bare hands!
He asked the driver, "Can it still be driven?"
The driver attempted to start the car and nodded, "It can, Boss Si!"
He then immediately got inside the car, and ordered, "Drive to the hospital. Hurry!"
He lowered his head and looked closely at the wound on Lola's arm.
He didn't like what he saw. He tightly held the woman in his arms and comforted her. "It feel very painful. Please, hold on a little while longer."
The rain of bullets was obviously aimed at killing her at all costs.
Who the hell was the murderer? Who would want to kill a pregnant woman?
Lola nodded, and said, "I'm in pain." She moaned.
Harry gently kissed her forehead, and said, "Please, hold on, darling. We'll arrive at the hospital soon."
At that moment, his phone rang; it was Joey. Harry became stern again, and answered, "Speak."
"Boss, when I reached the hotel, the murderer had already ran away. I investigated the check-in record, but no one had booked this room. The computers in the monitor room had also been faulty with black screens for about two hours or more. And they have not been repaired not until now. There was a drop of blood on the carpet, but it could not be evidence." Joey was standing at the sniper's shooting location and was looking at the entrance of the SL building.
"Partner up with the police and check all of the surrounding CCTVs. We must find out who the shooter was at all costs!" He ordered Joey with a serious determination of catching the murderer.
"OK! I understand! BOSS!" Joey brought the police to the restaurant on the opposite of the road and also asked the SL staff to deliver him all of the company's surrounding CCTVs.
On arriving at the hospital, Harry helped Lola get out of the car by holding on to her waist. He didn't dare walk too fast with her in fear of hurting the baby.
The doctor lessened the wound's inflammation, applied some medicine on it and then wrapped her arm with a gauze. He then talked to them for a while about some other matters, and then they left.
Harry sent Lola back to the manor and just stayed for a while. Then he left after answering to several calls.
In the office
Harry had ate his stomach medicine. Now, he was watching the video footage Joey had brought him. The video quality wasn't that high, but it was possible to identify that the supposed killer was a foreigner.
