My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 939

Those bodyguards hesitated as well, looking over at their team leader.

The team leader was exhausted. “You guys go ahead. Don’t smoke too long. Let’s take turns to relax.”

It was morning, so few people were heading out of town. They guessed that Stanford dared not to come out at this time.

He should come out at noon or evening when many people are heading out of town. In that case, he could hide within the crowd and have a higher possibility to escape.

“Boss, why don’t you smoke with us?”

“No, thanks. We were asked to be on guard all the time and keep alert. Even there are few people, I must stay here to check carefully.”

The team leader wanted to maintain the highest vigilance to avoid making mistakes.

However, there were few cars now, so he could allow his subordinates to smoke cigarettes and relax. The remaining bodyguards on duty could handle things that happened.

Hence, the bodyguards stopped convincing him. They walked to the bushes next to the highway shoulder by shoulder for smoking.

The bodyguards on duty were also exhausted and looked listless. They didn't bother to move unless there were vehicles approaching that needed a check.

“Hey, here comes a truck group.”

A bodyguard pointed in front.

Five trucks slowly approached.

The team leader stood upright and said, “Stop them and have a check.”

“Yes, Boss.”

His subordinates rushed over.

The truck drivers were cooperative. They pulled over the trucks at the roadside.

Two drivers got down. One was a mid-aged man with tanned skin. The other was a young man who looked no older than 20.

After the mid-aged man got down, he immediately pulled out all the licenses.

With a smile, he said, “Sir, we transport cattle. I have all the licenses needed.”

The bodyguard team leader sized him up and down sharply. Then he looked over at the young man before browsing their licenses.

All the paperwork was valid. They often drive on this highway.

He didn’t find anything fishy.

The team leader returned the licenses to the man and said, “We must check every truck.”

“What?”

The mid-aged man was surprised but accepted it immediately. He looked pretty approachable. “Sir, please go ahead. There are cows in the freight car. They are easy to get angry. Please ask your team members to be careful.”

The team leader raised his hand, so all the bodyguards divided into different groups and checked the trucks.

All drivers got down. They checked their licenses one after another.

However, something happened to the third one.

A tall and sturdy man got off. He had dark skin with an expressionless face, looking fierce.

A bodyguard asked him, “Are you the only one in this truck?”

Usually, there were two drivers for each truck because they were doing long-distance transportation. They needed to take shifts.

The tall and sturdy man said expressionlessly, “No. Two of us.”

“Where is the other one?” the bodyguard asked.

The man answered impatiently, “Go look yourself.”

Then he walked aside, leaning against the truck. He looked as if he wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone.

It was the first time that the bodyguard was treated so rudely.

They had a large group to check the vehicles. Besides, they were from the Turner family. Hence, people respected them and were cooperative in the check.
