You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 1856

Chapter 1856: Splitting Up

On the other side.

Joyce immediately contacted Darrin, while Luther gathered all their forces. The most important thing was to contain the information. Luther made calls to the higher-ups at the police station. No matter what, this matter had to be suppressed.

Because they needed the military to intervene, and it involved internal strife within the Saunders family. If everything was exposed, it would implicate the power struggles between factions. It would be detrimental to the future position of the Saunders family. Moreover, Mr. Ball's identity was sensitive. Mr. Ball was a figure who operated in the dark. He had influence in all the docks, black markets, and ports. Today's events were equivalent to an internal fight within the most powerful gang in Khebury. After all, the Saunders family had already been whitewashed over the years, and there was no need to tarnish their reputation again. The best course of action was for them to handle it themselves and avoid causing any social impact.

All the forces quickly assembled and arrived at the Saunders family's location.

When they saw the situation outside, they knew it was already too late. As expected, the mastermind behind the whole thing was Seren, who had been hidden for many years and had seemingly come back from the dead.

The influence Seren had secretly expanded over the years should not be underestimated. Layer by layer, they had surrounded the entire Saunders family, making it impossible to escape. Felix anxiously tried to see inside, but unfortunately, he couldn't make out anything.

The air was filled with a sense of impending doom, mixed with a faint smell of blood, sending shivers down everyone's spines.

Luther grabbed Felix's arm. "Don't act rashly. Now that Seren has been exposed, this fight has come out into the open. We take it step by step, and we mustn't lose our footing."

Joyce said to Luther, "Given the situation, it might take some time to attack head-on. I'll try to find any other vulnerabilities with Darrin and sneak in quietly."

"What do you want to do? Joyce, can't you stop fooling around?" Luther's face turned sour, and his tone became stern. "Don't you know you're carrying two children in your belly? Everyone is here today; there's no need for you to charge into battle. Just stay put and don't make me worry about you on top of everything else."

Joyce remained silent.

Of course, she knew she was carrying twins. That's why she didn't act recklessly.

Darrin explained at this moment, "The Commander's idea is that Joyce and I won't directly participate in the frontal conflict. We're looking for a breakthrough point."

He pointed to the rooftop of the Saunders family's ancestral residence not far away. "Perhaps we can try to climb up there. We just need to find a vantage point. The Commander will take care of the sniping. That's all."

Luther looked at Joyce suspiciously. "Is that really what you want?"

Joyce nodded. "Yes. It's too late to call in a sniper now. It's better to capture the leader first. If we can eliminate Seren directly, that would be ideal. If not, it will still have some deterrent effect."

"So, climbing up to the rooftop, isn't that dangerous? Are you planning to reach the sky, Joyce?" Luther's face grew even darker. He couldn't bear it any longer and reprimanded her in front of everyone.

"I... I'll be careful. Besides, Darrin is with me, right? Darrin brought the sniper rifle, and we'll take care of that part. How about that?" Joyce cautiously replied, afraid of making him angry.

While Luther scolded her, deep down, he agreed. He knew Joyce too well. She couldn't sit still and would never be idle. If he didn't assign her a task, who knows what exaggerated things she might do? At that time, he would be extremely worried.

Felix pointed to a tower at the Warner residence, showing it to Joyce. "Do you see that direction? That tower is an annex to the main building, and there's a dedicated fire escape ladder on the side that you can climb safely. The most important thing is that there's a maintenance platform inside the tower's air vent. From there, you can find an angle to aim at the living room of the Warner residence. If Seren is there, there might be a chance to strike. But the prerequisite is that you and Darrin have to go around from the back of the mountain, so as not to attract attention."
