Purchased A Mr. Right
Chapter 1026

Anthea couldn't hear clearly what they were talking about on the phone, but she could also feel that something was wrong.

After hanging up the phone, she asked, "Uncle, what's wrong?"

Adam frowned and looked at her. He seemed to have made a decision quickly and said briefly, "Sit down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the jeep accelerated all of a sudden.

Anthea was thrown forward by the force of inertia. Fortunately, she was wearing a safety belt. Otherwise, she would have smashed the windshield and flown out of the jeep. The accelerator was now pressed to the bottom by Adam. The jeep drifted at a crossroad, turned around, and drove away rapidly.

Looking at the street scenes passing by on both sides, Anthea was in a daze. The car-racing scenes that only appeared in Hollywood movies emerged in her mind. Her face turned pale, and she silently raised her hand to grab the armrest of the jeep roof.

When the jeep drove to a park, a screeching sound of hard brakes arose.

The tires left a trace on the ground because the jeep was gliding before it stopped. Anthea, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was still in shock. Before she could figure out the situation, she saw that Adam had already unfastened his seat belt, taken out a pair of handcuffs, and inserted them into the waist belt.

It was clear that he was carrying out a mission!

Only then did Anthea realize that there must be a mission designated to Adam on the phone just now. As there was no time to be wasted, Adam directly drove her here.

Carter, who had been waiting for a long time, came over to them immediately. When he saw Anthea, he was slightly stunned, but quickly reported seriously. "Captain Chin!"

"How's the situation?"

"At present, he is still lurking in the park. It might be difficult to arrest him, and he has a weapon with him!"

Adam looked at the park, while his eyes were sharp and piercing. "There are a great many people here, and they are lacking in the awareness of danger. We must not cause any chaos, unnecessary panic or injury in the crowd. The action strategies remain the same. Let's split up, search him out, and arrest him when the chances are good!"

"Yes, sir!" Carter replied firmly.

Adam had already jumped out of the jeep. Before he left, he turned around and looked at Anthea, saying, "Wait for me inside the jeep."

Anthea was too scared to breathe because of the serious atmosphere surrounding the two military officers. Before she could react, Adam and Carter had already disappeared in the park.

At this time, it was getting late. There were a lot of people walking at the square near the entrance of the park. Groups of middle-aged women were dancing at the square as a sort of physical exercise. Some children were playing roller skates.

Inside the jeep, Anthea folded her hands as if they were a pair of binoculars.

However, it was still too far away for Anthea to see Adam clearly, not to mention that it was already night time. Furthermore, there were just too many people in the park. Anthea really wanted to see Adam's tall and strong figure, but it was difficult. When she thought of what Carter had said earlier, that the suspect had a weapon with him, she realized this mission was a dangerous one...

Anthea was thus worried. She jumped out of the jeep and ran into the park.

After entering the park, Anthea finally was able to replace Adam near the rockwork artificial hill. Before

Anthea could calm herself down, she saw that Adam suddenly sprang up and ran extremely fast towards a sneaky man in front of him.

That man's reaction was also very fast. Before he was pushed over, he agilely dodged Adam's strike in time. It seemed that he was also very skillful at combating. In an instant, he and Adam were grappling with each other.

Anthea was scared out of her wits. The scenes before her eyes had been changing too quickly.

Adam obviously had the upper hand. The man who had already fallen to the ground suddenly took out a dagger and waved it wildly in the air. The glints of the dagger were almost dazzling.

In the face of the man's dagger, Adam still looked calm. He reached out his hand without fear, accurately grabbed the man's wrist, and twisted it downward. When he was about to take the knife away, a child who was blowing bubbles absentmindedly got close to them.

The man rushed towards the child with the dagger in his hand. Adam tried to stop him.

The palm of Adam's hand was cut by the blade, and he had to loosen his hand as he lost his strength temporarily. The man seized this opportunity and ran into the woods nearby in an utterly routed manner. Putting the child who was crying in a safe place, Adam wiped off the blood on his palm and immediately chased after the man.

The two figures of them disappeared one after one in the woods.

Anthea had seen boys fighting on the campus before, and she also had learned a little about Taekwondo. However, this was the first time for her to see the scenes of a military officer fighting with a suspect. The fighting was highly fierce, and it seemed as if there was danger almost in every second...

Adam was a professional military officer. For this reason, he was good at martial arts. However, it seemed that the man was a really tough opponent to deal with. What's more, he got a weapon! Anthea looked at the drops of blood on the ground and felt uneasy.

Looking around, she didn't see Adam's companion, Carter, anywhere. She could only see a pavilion nearby, which was under construction work, and there was a construction worker carrying a wooden stake and passing by leisurely. Anhea's eyes widened, and she ran over to the construction worker in a hurry. "Hello. I want to borrow this from you!"

Under the dumbstruck eyes of the construction worker, Anthea held the wooden stake with both hands and staggered into the woods.

The lights inside the woods were a little dim. Anthea ran for a long time and was almost out of breath. By dint of the noise, she finally found Adam and the suspect, who were grappling each other again in the woods.

From far away, Anthea could hear screams.

Anthea didn't have much time to think about who gave out the screams, she simply held the wooden stake tighter.

"Bastard, I'm going to fight you to the death!"

With an expression of throwing caution to the wind, Anthea rushed over with a roar. "Uncle Chin, let me help you!"

She lifted the wooden stake in her arms up high and hit it toward the man.

Adam was back on to Anthea, and he had already suppressed the man on the ground from the side. He was about to lock up the man with the handcuffs. Unexpectedly, Anthea suddenly rushed up and hit the place in between them with the wooden stake. Adam could only turn his head to dodge it.

The man's arm was hit, and there was the sound of bones breaking. But he also had the space to roll aside, and once again he took the opportunity to run away.

They were already in the depths of the woods, which were separated by a half-meter-high wall from the street outside. The street was crowded with people and vehicles.

Adam pressed his hands on the ground and jumped up. He could see the man's figure climbed over the low wall. This time, the suspect had completely escaped!

"Oh no..."

Anthea was stunned when she realized that she was not helpful to Adam at all. She swallowed and asked with embarrassment, "Uncle, is my action considered a breach of official duties?" "Maybe it's a breach of official duties." Adam's eyes looked as if he was criticizing her.

The previous two times when Anthea hand the suspect were present were still acceptable, but Adam hadn't expected that this time...

Anthea also realized the problem and almost cried. She was so afraid that she might be convicted guilty of helping the criminal escape. "Oh... Will I be arrested and convicted... No!"

"No, you won't." Adam pinched the spot between his eyebrows. He seemed a little helpless in the face of

what had happened.

Anthea was sad and regretful, but she still remained to be a charming girl. Adam scolded her in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you to wait inside the car? Why didn't you just listen to my advice? Don't you know you have indirectly helped the suspect to escape?"

Besides her misbehavior, the most important thing was that the situation just now was too dangerous for Anthea, and it was very easy for her to be injured by mistake.

Although Adam was a handsome man, he always kept a straight face. His sharp and piercing eyes looked at Anthea meaningfully. Anthea could feel the domineering nature in his eyes.

Anthea shrank her shoulders timidly, pouted, and whispered, "I was just worried about you..."
