Chapter 503 Luke’s Harsh Face Became Furious All of a Sudden!
Jason crouched down and placed a finger under Dwight's nose.
The man's skin was still warm, but he was no longer breathing. Clearly, he had met his end very recently.
Sean and a few other police officers went as fast they could to pursue the killer.
He was a scout when he served in the military. His speed and combat skills were top-notch.
However, it seemed that the killer was better.
No matter how fast he ran, the killer seemed to be able to outpace him.
The killer was very agile, and he knew how to take cover behind the vines, trees, and shrubs in the woods. The distance between the two parties grew.
Sean could only catch a glimpse of the killer's military fatigues that seemed to blend into the background.
The killer was about to escape from his field of vision. With no other choice, Sean grabbed a handgun from a police officer, cocked it skillfully, and fired several shots at the killer’s fleeing back.
His marksmanship was one of the best in his troop, but he did not manage to hit the man in the military fatigues. Somehow, the man managed to get away under the hail of bullets...
As Sean watched the man get away, he gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to break!
In the hospital's VIP lounge.
Luke sat on the couch with a cigarette between his fingers. His tall and well -built body seemed cold and harsh.
He had stayed in the hospital to accompany Bianca for the past few days. His handsome face seemed haggard.
Jason and Sean stood in front of their boss, reporting the situation with some guilt. "I'm sorry, Boss. We were too late. When we arrived at the scene, someone had already severed Dwight Marshall's aorta..."
Jason was disappointed at himself that he had let his boss down.
They had already tracked down Dwight Marshall's hiding place using satellite positioning. They were only one step away from the truth, but someone else managed to kill Dwight and get away.
"Boss, the man who killed Dwight was dressed in military fatigues. He was extremely agile, and from the way how he moved and took cover, he should be in the elite special forces. We couldn't subdue him. Sorry." Sean kept his lowered because he felt guilty.
He was a retired elite scout with many talents, which was why Luke recruited him to be Mrs. Crawford's driver.
The boss paid him a handsome salary, but he had failed his boss.
Luke's stern face was instantly racked with anger. His grip on the couch armrest became stronger, as though he would crush it into bits. "Does that mean that you have lost all leads?"
The two people were silent.
Sean saw that his boss was losing control of his emotions. He braced himself as his forehead was covered in sweat. "We'll try our best to track down Dwight Marshall's killer, Boss. Just give me some time, and I'll definitely return with a satisfactory answer."
Luke took a drag of his cigarette. Amid the swirling clouds of smoke, his brows were tightly furrowed. His demeanor was so frigid that it seemed to freeze the air around him.
The atmosphere was tense and deathly silent.
"I'll give you a few more days. Go and do your work!" Luke broke the silence after a long time. The two men could hear the anger and lethargy in his voice.
"Yes, Boss," they responded.
Luke stood up and faced the window. His demeanor was imposing like a lone hawk.
He became even more determined as he looked at the traffic outside the window.
No matter who the mastermind might be, he would hunt them down even if he had to turn the entire A City upside down!
Bianca could not walk. She had stayed in bed for the past few days, and she was getting extremely bored.
Luke wanted to bring her back to the mansion to recuperate, but Johann said that the injuries on her legs were too serious, and it was not wise to transport her around after the operation. He suggested that she stay in the hospital for observation for a few more days and make sure that there were no complications before moving out.
Bianca could only remain in the hospital that was filled with the stench of disinfectant.
Fortunately, the conditions in the VIP ward were better. The serenity and peace helped her recuperate.
Thinking that she would be applying for an architect's certification soon, she spent some time reviewing the material.
Luke instructed the nurse to take care of Bianca, then went to the company.
He was always busy with work, and he could not stay by Bianca’s side for twenty-four hours a day. He had to assess many projects, and the arson case would be going on trial in a month.
He had promised Giovan that the perpetrator would receive the death sentence.
The caretaker seemed unremarkable, but her mother's distant relative was an influential figure in the capital. There would be some obstacles for him to fight for the death sentence.
However, he had already promised Giovan that the caretaker would receive the death sentence. He could not go back on his word.
After Luke left the hospital, Bianca returned to studying her material.
At that moment, Anand, the gentlemanly mixed-race man, appeared in her ward, bringing two gift baskets.
"Why are you here, Anand?’ Bianca felt awkward when she saw him.
She still remembered that night when he confessed to her.
She knew that Anand had a candid character, but she had no affection for that man at all.
"Hey, Rayne, the collaboration project between T Corporation and Vivi Group has started for so long, and I was wondering why I haven't seen your beautiful face in a while. Turns out that you're hiding in the hospital. If I hadn't found out from Sue and Nina that you were hospitalized, I would've thought that you disappeared... Why did you let me know that you've suffered a serious accident, Rayne? I feel sorry for you just looking at you!" Anand's beautiful blue eyes stared at Bianca's legs in a plaster cast. His expression was exaggerated, but his concern was genuine.
She felt even more awkward than ever.
She only had limited interactions with that foreign man, and she could not tolerate how eager he was.
"Hm? You've suffered such serious injuries, so shouldn't your boyfriend be keeping you company in the hospital? Why isn't he here?"
Anand looked around. Other than Bianca, he did not see another person.
He turned back to look at Bianca with an enthusiastic gaze and coaxed her, "Looks like there's nothing remarkable about the man you love. If you were my girlfriend, I would've quit my job and take care of you 24/7. How about you break up with that man and be my girlfriend?"
