Chief Barrow immediately refused after
Jasper said that.
“No, it’s too dangerous,”
Chief Barrow said, “We can be certain that
the kidnapper has a gun with him. If
something happens to you, the
consequences will be severe.”
Chief Barrow was right. If Jasper went up
and died there, Chief Barrow would be
finished.
He was not acquainted with Jasper, so he
did not really care about Jasper’s life or
death, but what he cared about was that if
Jasper died unexpectedly, his career
would be over.
“I thought about it. It’s okay, they haven’t
discovered the police yet. If they do, it’ll b

I’ll go with my bodyguard so he can
protect me. In addition to this, I have a

down by the bulletproof vest.
“Put it on. You can’t defeat a bullet no
matter how strong you are.”
Jasper persuaded Julian to put on the bulletproof vest.
At this moment, Anna also came over.
“Henry is almost here.”
Anna did not say anything to stop him.
She knew it was inappropriate for her to
say those kinds of things at this time and
place.
She was not those brainless female leads i

say or do something.
“Ask him to wait for me here once he
