Chapter 128 Dress Jericho Up as A Woman
Noah paused, walked to her side and said softly, "There are police outside now. It's safe. Just stay here and don't move. I'll go out and be back soon."
He saw just now that there were many people in the corridor. Not only the police, but also the people he told Andrew Turner to send to protect Stella.
Stella nodded and asked him to be careful. After he went out, she checked the lock carefully and fastened the door chain on the door.
Noah was familiar with the structure of the hotel and easily avoided the crowds. He went up to the rooftop through a dark passage.
As he had expected, there were blood stains on the stairs in the dim light.
Noah's expression changed. He ran up in a few steps. The blood stains were intermittent. He slowed down, alert to his surroundings, and quietly reached for the pistol at his waist.
At this moment, a low cry for help was suddenly heard...
"Who's there?" Noah was startled. There seemed to be a moving figure at a sheltered place not far away. He ran over and was surprised to find Jericho Hart lying there covered in blood!
There was a subordinate beside Jericho, who was slightly injured. When he saw Noah, he looked as if he was going to attack Noah.
Noah grabbed his wrist and knocked off his dagger!
"Come back, John!" Jericho growled.
Noah squatted beside him, not too close, his cold and deep eyes showing a bit of suspicion.
"What's going on?"
Jericho licked his lips with difficulty. The wound on his body was bleeding constantly.
Noah thought for a while, "I'll take you to the hospital."
"No!" The subordinate called John said immediately, "There are police in the hotel now, and those people must be ambushing outside the hotel! If we go out now, we will die!"
"Those people?" Noah's gaze froze.
"It's..." John gasped, "It's the people who were sent by the previous leader of the gang. They want to kill Mr. Hart!"
"They asked Mr. Hart to come here for negotiation last night, but they didn't keep their word. We fell into their trap as soon as we came! These villains!"
Jericho fell to the ground weakly, his face getting paler due to excessive blood loss.
Noah took a deep breath. Although he was at odds with Jericho, Jericho was against Liam Anderson after all, not him.
"Your name is John?" he asked in a deep voice.
John was stunned and looked at him blankly.
"If you don't want anything bad to happen to your boss, help me drag him back. I know a way that won't attract anyone's attention!"
...
The police and the crowd in the corridor gradually left, and everything was calm again. Stella was a little worried when there was a bang on the door, followed by the sound of the key card opening the door.
She was startled at first, but then she knew it was Noah coming back, so she hurried to unfasten the door chain.
However, the scene before her almost made her scream!
Noah came in with Jericho on his back, quickly put him on the bed, tore off the sheets and bandaged him to stop the bleeding temporarily.
Stella's hands and feet grew weak. She was covered in cold sweat. Her whole body was trembling, and she couldn't say a word.
"Darling, this..."
"I can't explain much now," Noah whispered. "He is seriously injured, and he needs the hospital!"
"But how do we send him to the hospital?" Stella recalled what the hotel manager had said about gangsters, and thinking of Jericho's identity, she quickly made a rough guess.
"Darling, we can't call an ambulance, but if you take him out... I'm afraid it won't be safe outside."
Noah looked at her and nodded.
