At the same time, Christopher yelped, "Ah!"
Jo was standing close to Christopher, so he turned his head to check what had happened.He noticed
that one of Christopher’s palms had gotten stabbed by a knife.
The gun he had in his hand was now on the ground.
Jo immediately paled as he noticed that Christopher’s ear was also slightly slit by the knife thrown from
the back.He could almost fee] the sting just from looking at his bleeding ear.He was thankful that he
was not the target.
Christopher had used his uninjured hand to aim the gun at Lily.
However, Lily had injured both his hands now.
"I’Il kill you!"
He was incessantly cursing as Lily had severely injured both his hands, and the gun was on the
floor.He could only instruct Jo, frozen next to him, to carry out his bidding, "Jo, kill her! Kill her now!"
"B-But I..."
Jo’s mind went blank after seeing what Lily was capable of.He dared not even think of what he had in
mind a few minutes ago.
Jo had never seen a woman so strong, which had entirely changed his perspective toward women.
"What the...why are you still standing..."
A loud siren pierced through the air, and bright blue lights shined through the windows.
Christopher was stunned, "You called the police?!"
"Everyone, get out!"
The trio all wanted criminals, and If they got caught, they would spend the rest of their lives in prison.
Christopher and Jo immediately tried to escape, but Lily took this opportunity to race upstairs.
Frank wanted to try and grab her— instead, he lost his balance and grabbed onto the escaping
Christopher by accident.
"Let go of me!"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм Christopher yelled.
All he wanted to do was to escape.He had no intention of finding out why Lily ran upstairs instead.
However, Frank had a tight grab on him and would not let go.
"You can’t just leave.You have to take me with you!"
Frank insisted, After all, he would not be able to walk away from all this if the police caught him too.
"Let go! There isn’t enough time!" Jo yelled back.
The area was bright as several police officers surrounded the vicinity.
One of the officers said through a megaphone, "We’ve got the place surrounded! You will not
escape.Unhand the hostage at once!"
Christopher and Jo were stunned as they wondered who the actual hostage was.
Leonel, on the second floor, remained bound by ropes.He could only hear the commotion outside but
could not move.
In his mind, he was hoping his men had won the fight so that he could have his revenge on Lily.
After a while, police sirens blared as they got closer and closer to the house.
The blue car lights were also getting brighter and brighter.He was getting nervous as time passed.He
wanted to escape, but it was impossible.
As he was about to panic, the door suddenly swung open.
Someone came into the room so swiftly that he could not even identify who it was.
Then he felt the ropes on him loosen, and he could finally move.He was confused.
‘What’s this?" Leonel tried to move his hand, and it worked.
He then turned to the woman at the corner, trying to register what was happening.
‘W- What's the meaning of this? Why is the girl okay? Does that mean Christopher and Jo failed? If
they did fail, why did she come up here to free me?’ While still trying hard to process what was
happening, he heard voices from the police.He gulped his saliva and started to speak, "You..."
"Shut up!" Lily demanded.
Even though she had merely said two words, it was enough to hush Leonel as he was scared she
would slit his tongue off.
