Chapter 411 The Suspicious Person In The Car

After Wesley opened the car door and got onto the front passenger seat, he ordered, “Blake, start driving.” “Okay.”

Blake immediately drove out of town.

Christopher closed his eyes. Aside from his pale face and constant sweating, it was impossible to tell how uncomfortable he was at the time.

He asked lazily. “Is the negotiation successful?”

Wesley glanced at the rearview mirror and said, “I think so.”

Although Reynolds was not a good person, he should still have some ethics. Moreover, Reynolds knew that it was better to cooperate with them than with Black Wolf

However, Wesley would not dare to trust him a hundred percent.

He also lied to Reynolds.

Wesley had planned to leave early the next day, but Reynolds already knew that Christopher was still in Lofbury. If Reynolds backed out and decided to harm Christopher, it would be difficult for him to avoid it. Therefore, he had made some arrangements before he went to see Reynolds. He even risked contacting that person for help so that they could leave smoothly tonight.

A few police cars were parked at the town exit.

All vehicles entering and exiting had to be inspected. It was very strict.

When Blake drove there, he was stopped.

Two police officers walked over. One of them knocked on the window, and Wesley lowered the window. The other policeman, Anselm, said, “Everyone in the car, please get down. We need to check the car.”

Wesley smiled and said, “Officer, there’s a patient in our car. We need to send him to Druobridge Hospital. He is very weak now. Can we not get off?”

“Patient?” Anselm looked into the car and saw Christopher sitting in the back seat. After scrutinizing him, Anselm asked, “What’s wrong with him?”

Wesley replied calmly, “Pneumonia. He has a fever and can’t even walk two steps.”

Christopher looked sick and lacked spirit.

Anselm said, “He can stay in the car, but the rest of you have to get off. We have to check the car.” Wesley smiled and said, “Okay, we will get off.”

After saying that, he gave Blake a look. Then, they unfastened their seat belts and quickly got out of the car. When they exited the vehicle, the two officers examined the driver’s and front passenger’s seats, followed by the trunk. Then, they opened the back door of the car. They did not ask Christopher to get out, but they did ask him to move his body slightly and then carefully inspect the backseat.

After checking, Anselm looked at Christopher. Earlier, he could not see Christopher clearly through the front passenger window. When he got closer, he noticed that Christopher appeared to be seriously ill.

His face was pale with not the slightest hint of color, and his lips were paler than his face.

However, his eyes were cold when he stared at people, making them feel uncomfortable.

“Are you okay?” Anselm asked casually.

Christopher said, “I’m fine.”

“Is there no hospital in the town? It’s not a serious illness, Why must you go to Druobridge Hospital? It’s a few hours from here to Druobridge. Moreover, it’s hard to drive on the mountain road at night. Can you hang on?” Anselm was not from Lofbury but came there for an assignment at the last minute. So, he did not know much about the situation there.

Christopher just looked at him and did not reply.

Anselm did not mind. His fingers touched the backrest as he was about to get his upper body out of the car.

He felt something wet against his fingers and glanced at it subconsciously. Seeing the stain on his fingers, he was stunned and looked at Christopher abruptly.

Christopher also caught a glimpse of the change in Anselm’s expression. He cast a glance at the spot where Anselm had made contact. He was sitting there just now with his right shoulder leaning against that area. When he entered the car earlier, he must have accidentally stretched the wound, and blood oozed out.

Thinking of that, his gaze turned grave, as he looked at Anselm like a beast.

Anselm was staring at him as well. For two seconds, they exchanged tense glances. Anselm soon returned to his senses. He was about to take the gun from his waist when he felt someone press against his shoulder.

“Officer, your leader asked you to go over,” Wesley said in his ear. Anselm was taken aback. He looked at Wesley and noticed that the hand that he was about to use to pull out his gun had been obstructed. Wesley immediately added, “I’m not lying”

After saying so, he turned and looked sideways

Anselm followed Wesley’s gaze and noticed the open door of a police car parked nearby. Someone stepped out of the car and took a look around. Finally, his gaze was drawn to them, and he walked directly toward

them.

“Captain!” Anselm shouted.

After a pause, Anselm glanced at Christopher in the car. When Anselm was about to explain the situation to Benjamin, Benjamin suddenly raised his hand to stop Anselm.

Anselm was stunned.

Then, he heard Benjamin say, “Let them go.”

ptain?” Anselm was stunned and confused. “Captain, there is something fishy with the people in the car. We can’t let them go.”

Benjamin looked at him coldly. “Are you the captain, or am I the captain? Obey the order.”

Anselm pursed his lips and silently protested for a long time.

Seeing that something was wrong, another officer came to pull Anselm aside and persuaded him in a low

voice.

Wesley looked at Benjamin and said, “Thanks.”

Then, he got in the car together with Blake and drove off quickly.

Only when the car was far away, Benjamin walked to Anselm and explained, “I know you have doubts. I have them too, but this is an order from the boss.”

Meanwhile, in the car, Wesley turned sideways to look at Christopher. He asked, “How did he find out?”

Wesley was referring to Anselm.

Christopher was closing his eyes. Hearing the question, he lifted his eyelids and answered, “My wound has opened up, and the backrest of the seat is stained with blood.”

“Again?” Wesley frowned.

Christopher muffled his words vaguely and closed his eyes. “Don’t worry. It shouldn’t be serious. It’s bleeding a little at most. Don’t disturb me. I don’t want to talk.”

Wesley was still worried. “A little blood at most? How much blood do you think you can bleed? Let’s do something about it first?”

Christopher ignored him.

Wesley looked at him for a few seconds and turned back as he thought, “Since he didn’t care about it, why am I worrying so much?”

It would take two to three hours from Lofbury to Druobridge in the daytime. However, it was difficult to drive on the mountain road at night, so they could only drive more slowly. When they arrived in Druobridge, it was already past eleven o’clock.

Wesley used his connections to find a private hospital with better privacy for Christopher instead of sending him to a public hospital.

Christopher was sent to the operating room immediately when he arrived at the hospital.

There was no sign of healing in the wound. Due to the inflammation, part of the flesh had begun to fester. After the wound had been cleaned, it was stitched again.

The operation was not long. In half an hour, the doctor had already come out of the operating room.

The doctor took off his mask and said, “I’ve re-treated the patient’s wound. Although it’s not too serious, he won’t suffer so much if he was sent to the hospital sooner. If it’s a day or two later, it will be more troublesome.”

Wesley said, “Thank you, doctor.”

The doctor nodded and strode away.

Christopher had been unconscious since being pushed out of the operating room. Even after two packs of drip had been administered, he did not wake up.

The nurse checked his body temperature, which was 37.3 degrees Celsius, after pulling out the needles. His temperature was the lowest these two days.

The ward was quiet. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Wesley sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and his back leaning against the armrest of the sofa. He opened WhatsApp and sent a message to Yuliana.
