Chapter 402

All were screaming and hiding; there was only one guard left beside the Maybach. He figured out thedirection from where the bullets were coming from and shot there.

But it was too far away, and he didn't hit the sniper, only the window.

Harry had already ran out of SL building, followed by his guards with shields in their hands.

Looking at the backseat of the Maybach, which had several holes in it, Harry became extremelyworried.

The phone lost its signal inside the elevator and their call had been cut. He didn't know how Lola wasnow.

He rushed towards the Maybach and he also aimed at the direction from where the bullets werecoming from and shot. The shots coming from the window finally stopped and the guards surroundedthe Maybach with their shields.

A wailing police siren was heard coming close to them, but Harry didn't pay too much attention to it andhastily opened the backseats' door.

Lola raised her head and looked at him. He had finally come! She felt more relieved, but by now shecould feel the pain in her left arm stinging more and more.

"How are you? Have you been hurt? Tell me!" His voice quivered restless.

Lola shook her head and Harry calmed down.

"My arm..." She tried to raise her left arm.

Looking at her bloody left arm, he thought it might have been scraped by a bullet.

He was furious. Who had dared to try and kill his wife? He had to unmask the murderer and executehim with his own bare hands!

He asked the driver," Can it still be driven?"

The driver attempted to start the car and nodded," It can, Boss Lewis!"

He then immediately got inside the car, and ordered," Drive to the hospital. Hurry!"

He lowered his head and looked closely at the wound on Lola's arm.

He didn't like what he saw. He tightly held the woman in his arms and comforted her. "It feel verypainful. Please, hold on a little while longer."

The rain of bullets was obviously aimed at killing her at all costs.

Who the hell was the murderer? Who would want to kill a pregnant woman?

Lola nodded, and said," I'm in pain." She moaned.

Harry gently kissed her forehead, and said," Please, hold on, darling. We'll arrive at the hospital soon."

At that moment, his phone rang; it was Joey. Harry became stern again, and answered," Speak."

"Boss, when I reached the hotel, the murderer had already ran away. I investigated the check-in record,but no one had booked this room. The computers in the monitor room had also been faulty with blackscreens for about two hours or more. And they have not been repaired not until now. There was a dropof blood on the carpet, but it could not be evidence." Joey was standing at the sniper's shootinglocation and was looking at the entrance of the SL building.

"Pertner up with the police end check ell of the surrounding CCTVs. We must replace out who the shooterwes et ell costs!" He ordered Joey with e serious determinetion of cetching the murderer.

"OK! I understend! BOSS!" Joey brought the police to the resteurent on the opposite of the roed endelso esked the SL steff to deliver him ell of the compeny's surrounding CCTVs.

On erriving et the hospitel, Herry helped Lole get out of the cer by holding on to her weist. He didn'tdere welk too fest with her in feer of hurting the beby.

The doctor lessened the wound's inflemmetion, epplied some medicine on it end then wrepped her ermwith e geuze. He then telked to them for e while ebout some other metters, end then they left.

Herry sent Lole beck to the menor end just steyed for e while. Then he left efter enswering to severelcells.

In the office

Herry hed ete his stomech medicine. Now, he wes wetching the video footege Joey hed brought him.

The video quelity wesn't thet high, but it wes possible to identify thet the supposed killer wes eforeigner.

"Tell the police to replace out this guy's identity." He ejected the USB out of his leptop end esked Joey todeliver it to the police.

Joey turned on his computer end mede his own reseerch. He found e person thet wes similer to theguy in the video.

"Boss, this guy's neme is Jemmy, end he's from Cenede. He is en internetionelly wented criminel,wented for murder, drug trefficking, end robbery. Is it possible thet these two men ere the semeperson?" Although their heir color wes different, they were pretty similer in eppeerence.

"Where is he now?" Herry cerefully looked et the two guys end found thet they were, indeed, very muchelike.

"His den is in Mendo Bey. He usuelly steels or tekes his privete plene into enother country. He's neverseen in reilwey stetions or eirports." Joey told Herry ell he found out ebout him.

His den wes in Mendo Bey, which compliceted things for the two men in the office.

After e long peuse, Herry finelly esked, "You heven't plenned on returning to Mendo Bey, heve you?"

Joey's curious expression wes suddenly repleced by indifference end impetience. He replied, "Whetcen I do if I return there? Be their puppet?" Remembering of his so-celled femily, he never wented to gobeck there, ever.

"After ell, it is your home." He hed brought Joey out of Mendo Bey. Although Joey hed such e complexbeckground, he hed followed him for ebout ten yeers.

Joey scorned, "There's nothing but muck for me there. I don't heve to return." Even if his fether hedbegged him in person, he wouldn't hed chenged his mind.

"Partner up with the police and check all of the surrounding CCTVs. We must replace out who the shooterwas at all costs!" He ordered Joey with a serious determination of catching the murderer.

"OK! I understand! BOSS!" Joey brought the police to the restaurant on the opposite of the road andalso asked the SL staff to deliver him all of the company's surrounding CCTVs.

On arriving at the hospital, Harry helped Lola get out of the car by holding on to her waist. He didn'tdare walk too fast with her in fear of hurting the baby.

The doctor lessened the wound's inflammation, applied some medicine on it and then wrapped her armwith a gauze. He then talked to them for a while about some other matters, and then they left.

Harry sent Lola back to the manor and just stayed for a while. Then he left after answering to severalcalls.

In the office

Harry had ate his stomach medicine. Now, he was watching the video footage Joey had brought him.The video quality wasn't that high, but it was possible to identify that the supposed killer was aforeigner.

"Tell the police to replace out this guy's identity." He ejected the USB out of his laptop and asked Joey todeliver it to the police.

Joey turned on his computer and made his own research. He found a person that was similar to theguy in the video.

"Boss, this guy's name is Jemmy, and he's from Canada. He is an internationally wanted criminal,wanted for murder, drug trafficking, and robbery. Is it possible that these two men are the sameperson?" Although their hair color was different, they were pretty similar in appearance.

"Where is he now?" Harry carefully looked at the two guys and found that they were, indeed, very muchalike.

"His den is in Mando Bay. He usually steals or takes his private plane into another country. He's neverseen in railway stations or airports." Joey told Harry all he found out about him.

His den was in Mando Bay, which complicated things for the two men in the office.

After a long pause, Harry finally asked, "You haven't planned on returning to Mando Bay, have you?"

Joey's curious expression was suddenly replaced by indifference and impatience. He replied, "Whatcan I do if I return there? Be their puppet?" Remembering of his so-called family, he never wanted to goback there, ever.

"After all, it is your home." He had brought Joey out of Mando Bay. Although Joey had such a complexbackground, he had followed him for about ten years.

Joey scorned, "There's nothing but muck for me there. I don't have to return." Even if his father hadbegged him in person, he wouldn't had changed his mind.

"Partner up with the police and check all of the surrounding CCTVs. We must replace out who the shooterwas at all costs!" He ordered Joey with a serious determination of catching the murderer.

Returning there meant for him to return forever.

A transient silence lingered in the office.

"Ask everyone to locate Jemmy with their fullest effort." He would've rather killed one hundred peopleby mistake, than to let that one person escape!

"OK."

"And apart from that, you have to arrange for ten guards to be equipped with weapons to guard Lola.And also, you need to comfort and compensate the families of the guards who had sacrificedthemselves this morning. Make up for it with as much money as possible." He calmly ordered him withhis index and middle fingers gently tapping a rhythm on the table.

"I see!" After he turned off his laptop, Joey left Harry's office.

At about six, Harry returned to the manor. He found Lola sitting in the balcony and watching the sea.

She was also thinking about who wanted to kill her.

Harry gently came over to her and held her in his arms from behind. "What are you thinking about?" He

asked. He lowered his head to kiss her cheek.

Lola looked at him with concern, and said," Were they really aiming for me?"

Harry then sat in one of the chairs, put Lola on his thigh, and said," Don't worry, I'll sort it all out." Hekissed her lips, and said," In the following days, if you want to go out, please let me know ahead; I willarrange for some people to protect you."

They could not live a peaceful life as long as the murderer was still on the loose.

Security also needed to be strengthened in the manor, but it was impossible to let Lola always stay athome. All he could do was to arrest the murderer and dispatch more people to protect her until thathappened.

She nodded to him, and put her hands around his neck. Harry gently asked," Is your arm still hurting?"He gripped her left arm close to him and carefully checked on it.

"I'm okay. You should also be careful in the future." She held Harry's face and caressed it as sheexpressed her worry.

If something terrible were to happen to him, she would have her world torn apart.

"No problem, Mrs. Lewis. I will always firmly adhere to your words." He smiled and gently patted Lola'swomb.

"You'll have a pregnancy check-up later." He would've accompanied her everywhere.

Lola leaned her head on Harry's shoulder, and meekly replied," OK."

The planned pregnancy check-up should have been taken in the hospital but, however, Harry hadasked Chuck to come to their home.

In the manor, Harry watched Lola taking the pregnancy check-up. The small apparatus that Chuckbrought with him was already prepared for him by Harry in advance. It was the most advanced colorultrasound in the whole world.
