You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 1694

Chapter 1694: Understanding

Joyce arrived at Division Four and sat with Anderson in the special reception room for a moment. Darrin had already arrived.

After Darrin arrived, he first showed his identification to the division chief of the police station. His status as a Colonel was enough to command respect from everyone.

When he entered the special reception room and saw Joyce, he anxiously asked, "Generalissimo, are you okay?"

Reuben sat on the side, looking amused, and teased, "Not bad, a distinguished Colonel willingly serving as a bodyguard. When Darrin showed his identity outside just now, I happened to pass by and saw the whole process."

Darrin glanced at Reuben and didn't answer.

He looked around and didn't see Grizela by Reuben's side.

Joyce shook her head. "I'm fine. I've explained the situation, and once I sign the statement, I can leave. You stay here to handle the follow-up matters."

Darrin was worried. "It was my negligence today. I can't let you go back alone. What if something happens again..."

"Why worry about so many 'what ifs'?" Joyce smiled. She beckoned to Darrin.

Darrin walked over.

Joyce lowered her voice, not wanting the people outside the room to hear.

"The situation today was very strange. After I leave, apply to the police station as the warlord's representative to attend the interrogation of the criminals. I want to know the specific details."

Darrin nodded.

Joyce continued, "When I spoke with the officers earlier, it was indeed suspicious. The criminals had six members, but the amount of gold they stole from the jewelry store wasn't enough to divide among them. They took far greater risks than the rewards would justify. So, who would do such a thing? That's the first strange thing. They didn't choose to escape directly; instead, they went to the neighboring ice cream shop and took children hostage. When I confronted them, I clearly felt that they didn't want to harm the children. It was just an act. That's the second strange thing."

Darrin's eyes flickered. "Are you suggesting that their goal was to create a big disturbance and panic?"

Joyce shrugged. "I don't rule out that possibility."

She said these words without avoiding Reuben.

Reuben leaned over and agreed, "You noticed it too? I found it strange at the time."

Darrin glared at Reuben. "If you noticed, how could the generalissimo not notice? You were there too. How come you, as a man, didn't do more?"

Reuben's handsome face drooped. "When would I carry a gun with me? I'm not a warlord."

"You act like having a gun would make a big difference," Darrin said with a hint of mockery. He was annoyed. Today, he hadn't been by Joyce's side, and she had encountered danger. Reuben was present, but he didn't subdue all the criminals, causing Joyce's identity to be exposed.

"You!" Reuben's mouth twitched. What did he do to offend Darrin? He was always implying things, as if he didn't like him.

"Just because my marksmanship isn't as good as Joyce's. There are only a few people in the world who can compare to her. I admit that. But today, I did my best. Don't believe me? Ask her." Reuben waved his hand, pointing at Joyce.

Joyce secretly kicked Darrin, signaling him not to target Reuben anymore.

From Kiki's words, she had already confirmed that Reuben was Prince Rohomes. In any case, they should show respect.

"Yes, when the criminals held a knife to the little boy and a gun to the little girl, I and Reuben worked together to subdue them. Otherwise, any individual action would have been in vain and would have put the children in danger," Joyce briefly explained.

She looked at Reuben with a puzzled expression. "It's strange. I just gave you a few glances, and you understood my intentions. And there were no mistakes."

Reuben heard Joyce's words and felt good. "It means that we have a natural understanding."

He gave a smug look to Darrin.
