Chapter 1350
“Linnie!”
Jeremy displayed a look of surprise, and his nervous heartbeat eased slightly.
He started to walk in Madeline’s direction, but in the next second, he saw Ryan standing beside Madeline.
Anger suddenly started to swirl in Jeremy’s eyes. The police and Interpol agents who came with him also noticed Madeline.
They also recognized that the man in black clothes and a cap was Ryan.
“Yes, that’s Ryan Jones alright. We have to deploy operations immediately, but first, we must ensure the safety of the hostage.”
Jeremy furrowed his eyebrows as he also had his concerns. “There are too many tourists here. If we arrest him rashly, you might cause panic and even casualties.”
He took into consideration a series of accidents that could happen if Ryan were to be arrested now. All the while, his gaze was glued on Madeline and he never once moved his eyes away.
No one could understand the torment in his heart at this moment.
Both the police and his colleagues from Interpol thought that he made sense.
Jeremy looked at Madeline who was being controlled by Ryan and his eyes narrowed. He had already thought of a plan that was the best of both worlds.
Ryan, who was on the viewing platform with Madeline, glanced at the time again. It would be seven o’clock in about ten seconds.
The moment when the fireworks were in full bloom, he would assume that he had already owned Madeline. He would also assume that he had so tragically lost.
As a man, this was the only thing he wanted in the end.
However, there were only a few gleaming stars under the dark blue night sky ten seconds later. The fireworks that he had been expecting to see did not appear.
He thought there was a delay, but after a few minutes, the customer service apologized from the loudspeaker. “We’re sorry. Due to some issues with our equipment, the fireworks show tonight will not be held as scheduled. Please leave the fireworks-viewing platform in an orderly fashion. Thank you for your cooperation.”
After hearing the voice from the loudspeaker, Ryan’s expectations and hope seemed to be smashed in an instant.
The tourists around them left one after another after having their spirits dampened. Some of them even spat out some curses, and at this moment, Ryan’s mood was also the same as theirs.
