My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 2645

The sounds of pounding and gunshots echoed from outside as the men tried various ways to break through the door.

Richard’s face was grave as he stood guard at the door with a gun in hand.

“Richard, you can’t hold them off forever. Those outside are after money, not lives. We’re the ones offering money. They won’t give up on us so easily.”

“I believe you won’t kill us either. If you do, you’ll bear the blame.”

The loud commotion grew increasingly rowdy as the sturdy steel door began to creak, causing the adjacent walls to tremble.

“Stay alert, everyone. Our rescuers are here.” These individuals were audacious and had long disregarded the law.

Shirley also heard the sounds of multiple people ramming the door. So, she moved toward the source of the noise and intended to open a door. Just as she was about to do so, she heard a voice screaming at the top of their lungs, “Hurry! Open that door! The ministers are trapped inside, and we need to rescue them if we want to get paid!”

“Is anyone else in there?”

“I don’t know. Judging from the gunshot earlier the ministers are being held hostage. So, I’m sure there are enemies inside.”

Shirley speculated that Richard might be the hostage-taker. His objective wasn’t just to save Zacharias but also to expose the identities of those crooks orchestrating Zacharias’ attempted murder behind the scenes. It was his duty.

She clutched her fists tightly and knew she had to rescue her father. Even though reinforcements had arrived, they couldn’t immediately breach the area, and time was of the essence.

She immediately ran upstairs and arrived at the top floor, where she noticed two thugs attempting to break in through the skylight. They were preparing their tools and were completely unaware of her presence.

When they went to get their guns, Shirley swiftly dealt with them. She grabbed the window- breaking tool with one hand and coiled the rope around her hand a few times. Then, she landed gracefully on the glass panel with a leap before balancing on her tiptoes.

Sure enough, she saw her father pointing his gun at four individuals through the glass. Richard also caught sight of her. He was surprised and thrilled that she had managed to find him.

The person’s smug words were interrupted as Shirley shot his shoulder. She sneered, “I’ll do what my dad wouldn’t.”

Richard looked on approvingly. There was no doubt about it. Shirley was definitely his daughter.

Now, none of the four dared to speak out of turn. Shirley noticed a nearby box. She kicked it open to find a set of handcuffs inside. She grabbed four and approached the individuals.

“You dare…” one of them started to say.

She grabbed his shoulder, pressed her foot on his back, and pinned him to the ground before promptly cuffing him.

The second person tried to resist and raised a fist to strike her. She simply snorted and landed a punch on his face, which disoriented him. In the next moment, she kicked him against the wall and handcuffed him as well.

The third person was terrified. So, he didn’t bother struggling. Instead, he meekly extended his hands and allowed Shirley to cuff him.
