Chapter 209
With a “bang“.
The man grunted and covered his head with his hand as if he wanted to turn around, but his body swayed a few times, and he fell down.
Emily was also frightened, dropping the baseball bat and quickly backing away.
Soon she returned to her room, locked the door, and panted heavily
Her heart was pounding fiercely, and her whole body felt ice cold. She ran to her bed, picked up her phone, and started to call the police.
Her hands were still trembling as she dialed.
Fifteen minutes later, she heard the doorbell ring and hid under the blanket, terrified,
It should be the police, Emily got up and went to open the door.
As she passed the living room, she saw the man she had knocked out lying on the balcony.
She tiptoed to the door, peeked through the crack, and indeed it was a policeman standing outside. She quickly opened the door and said urgently, “I knocked out. the thief! He’s on the balcony!”
A group of five police officers entered the scene, switching on the lights as they made their way towards the balcony. Emily cautiously trailed behind them, observing as they flipped the unconscious man over. One officer muttered under their breath, “He doesn’t seem like a thief at all!”
The man was clad in an expensive suit, sporting a valuable–looking watch. Despite being unconscious, his overall appearance and demeanor were far from ordinary
Driven by curiosity. Emily approached for a closer look. As she caught sight of the man’s face, she froze in shock. “Why is it him?” she exclaimed.
The police officer looked back at her, “You know him?:
Emily frowned, yeah, did she know him? But she didn’t even know his name!
“He’s badly hurt. Let’s send him to the hospital first. We’ll interrogate him once he wakes up,” the officer said
The police officers helped the man up, and after checking his ID, they found out his name was Charlie James!
Seeing this name, the officers exchanged surprised glances. Could he be from the Jarnes family?
At the hospital, they hung him on emergency, and after examination, the doctor said. “At the moment, it seems to be a mild concussion. We’ll have to wait for the results of the tests to know for sure”
