Ex-husband's Sweet Trap novel Chapter 57

The car immediately started and sped down the crowded provincial road.

When Henry's Maybach arrived at the tollbooth, all that was left were the bodies and blood on the ground. He glanced at the scene with narrowed eyes. The temperature around him dropped.

Lucas was also shocked by this scene. There were casualties on both sides, but there was no sign of Luz and Mia. He couldn't help but groan inwardly.

"Where is she?"

Henry strode out of the car. His face was cold, but his eyes were so angry that they seemed to burn everything in front of him. The policemen on the mission were so intimidated by his aura that it took them a while to answer.

"They were taken away by drug dealers."

"Start the rescue immediately to ensure their safety!"

In addition to anger, there was also a strong murderous intent in his tone. If anything happened to Luz, these people would be in deep trouble. 

"But Mr Maynard, the higher-ups have already given us instructions. This is a huge syndicate, so they've sent the federal police to deal with this..."

If it were just them, they could still consider the safety of the hostages, but the federal police had no such qualms.

"I don't care who's in charge, no one can hurt her!"

Henry's eyes were chilly. He would kill anyone who dares to hurt even a single hair on Luz!

"Henry, I'm sure she'll be fine."

It was the first time that Lucas had seen him so angry. He lowered his voice, hoping to comfort his friend who was anxious and angry, but Henry went straight back to the car.

"You can't do it alone. Let's go together."

Lucas immediately understood his intentions. He quickly squeezed into the car, and the Maybach rushed past the traffic jam and headed towards the densely packed provincial road.

Henry dialled in a number on his phone. "Check who's dispatched here for the drug case. I don't care if they're under the federal police, tell them to prioritize Luz Boone's safety."

......

The man with the scar glanced at the person who was waiting for him in the passenger seat. His fierce face immediately became well-behaved. "Isiah, the goods have been flushed down the toilet. There will be no evidence, but my two brothers..."

If he died, it would be fine. But if he didn't die, he would be taken away by the police. Once they confessed, not only would they be excommunicated from the business, they would also have to live the rest of their lives in hiding.

"You should've just killed those two useless things."

The man named Isiah glared at him coldly. The most important thing in this business was to be quick and agile. Now there were two problems left, which was more troublesome.

"Isiah, we can use these women as leverage to get our men back."

The scarred man also knew that he had not dealt with the matter properly, so he immediately thought of a way to atone for his mistake.

Luz's waist was hurting badly. She reached back and touched it, only to find that her back was covered with wet and sticky blood. That was why it hurt so badly.

The blood loss was causing her vision to blur, so she bit her tongue hard to keep her dwindling consciousness.

Did these drug dealers want to exchange her and Mia for the two injured men? Did this mean that they would not be in danger at least for now?

Isiah looked back at the two women in the back seat contemplatively before telling the scarred man, "You'd better pray that the police wants them alive too."

When Luz heard this, her face turned paler than before. What did he mean by that? The police were the people. How could they leave her and Mia to die?
