Chapter 771 “Miss Haynes, Devin has been crying. | can’t coax him no matter what!” The nanny and nurse had already tried coaxing him for a while.
However, they could not coax him no matter what they did, so they could only bring Devin to Joanna.
The little boy wailed, crying until he was out of breath.
Joanna hurriedly went forward to check. “Is he hungry?” The nurse looked worried and said carefully, “I just fed him. He shouldn't be hungry.” “Is it time to change his diaper then?” Joanna asked.
“I've checked everything. | just changed his diapers as well.” “Darling, let Mommy carry you.” Joanna took Devin and hugged him to comfort him.
Unfortunately, Devin cried even harder.
Devin kicked his legs and cried heartbreaking tears until his face turned blue.
Ever since Devin was born, he had been very obedient and rarely cried like this.
Joanna panicked and hurriedly instructed the servants, “Quickly call Dr. Dotson to come and take a look!” “Oh, okay.” The servant quickly called the family doctor.
Ten minutes later, Dr. Dotson rushed over.
Dr. Dotson checked on Devin and did not find anything wrong.
The child just kept crying for some reason.
Seeing this, Joanna's heart ached so much that she cried as well. “Darling, are you feeling unwell?” “Miss Haynes, Devin might have colic.
“I'll prescribe him some medicine to soothe his stomach, and we'll do some exercises to help relieve his gas.” As Dr. Dotson spoke, he flipped Devin over and carried Devin facedown.
Nannies knew all this basic knowledge when it came to infants. They had already tried carrying Devin in this manner earlier, and it hadn't worked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDevin had probably tired himself out from crying and slowly stopped wailing.
Although Devin had quietened down, Joanna still felt a little uneasy.
Joanna had had a feeling that something would happen, and it seemed that it was now happening to Devin. Thus, although Joanna was still anxious, she did not think about anything else.
Meanwhile, Bruce had been in a deadlock with the criminals for nearly an hour.
Bruce had been shot in the left shoulder, and although he had bandaged it, blood still oozed uncontrollably out of his wound.
If this continued, it would be very disadvantageous to Bruce.
“This won't do. | can’t continue wasting time like this. | have to think of a way to break through...” Bruce endured the pain and took a deep breath, quietly touching a small stone on the ground.
Then, Bruce threw the stone high into the air.
When the criminals heard the sounds, they thought that Bruce was going to launch a sneak attack, and they pulled out their - guns, firing wildly.
A young man subconsciously stuck his head out to take a look.
A gunshot rang out with a loud bang, and the young man fell to the ground weakly.
When the remaining four criminals saw this, they were even more scared, retreating further to the back of the car, not daring to reveal themselves.
One of the bearded criminals used Antlenish to ask the frightened young criminal, “How long until the others arrive?” The frightened young criminal looked at his fallen partner and was so scared he wet his pants. He stammered, “...I've already called. They said they'll be here in half an hour.” “What? Another half an hour?” The other three were even more terrified when they heard this.
“We have no choice but to wait!” Bruce threw out three more stones.
After hearing the commotion, the terrified criminals became even more jittery. “Il want to go home. | surrender...” There was a loud bang.
Following the gunshot, the young man who had been speaking was also shot and fell to the ground.
This time, the remaining three people panicked even more.
They had never expected this man to be so tough and kill five of their people.
“Why... why don’t we retreat?” “No, so many of us have died. We have to teach him a lesson...” The three of them became even more timid and terrified, cowering behind the car in fear, not daring to casually poke their heads out again.
Bruce frowned. He had run out of bullets.
If they were all unarmed and Bruce fought with these hooligans, they would definitely not be his match.
However, they were now holding guns. No matter how skilled Bruce was, no skill could compare to guns, Just as they were in a deadlock, there was a buzzing sound from above.
The whirring sound of a helicopter’s rotors reached them.
From within the helicopter, two bodyguards saw Bruce's car through their binoculars and quickly gave Darcy instructions.
“That's Mr. Everett's car. Hurry up and land!” “Roger that!” The helicopter circled over the area, the whirring sound hovering above Bruce.
Seeing this, Bruce heaved a sigh of relief. At the critical moment, Darcy had arrived just in time.
“Boss, what's that? It's not the police, is it?” “Who cares who they are!” The bearded man raised his gun and shot at the helicopter.
Unfortunately, the criminals were too far away, and the bullet couldn't reach the helicopter at all.
One of the criminals didn’t dare to resist anymore and ran toward the car parked at the side as if he was running for his life.
Then, the criminal quickly got into the car, started the engine, and drove away.
Seeing this, the bearded man and the other criminal hurriedly ran after the car. When the car passed by them, one pounced on the roof and the other jumped in through the window.
As the criminals escaped, Darcy had also found a suitable position to land the helicopter.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA few bodyguards got off the helicopter and rushed over. “Mr. Everett, are you alright? “Sorry that we're late.” “It's fine!” Bruce staggered to his feet.
Bruce had been shot in the left shoulder and had lost too much blood. He was already in a daze.
“Mr. Everett is injured. We have to send him to the hospital quickly.
“Mr. Everett, hurry up and get in the helicopter. We'll take you to the hospital now.”, Bruce's face was as white as a sheet. With his last bit of consciousness, he said, “Darcy, immediately execute the plan.” When Darcy heard this, he looked worried. “Mr. Everett, we should take care of you first.” “It's alright...” Bruce said as he lost consciousness.
“Hurry and send Mr. Everett to the hospital.
“I'll carry out the plan.” “Okay.” The two bodyguards hurriedly carried Bruce into the helicopter, leaving one person to stay and call the police to deal with the aftermath.
Bruce was rushed to the hospital in the helicopter.
The next day, the news of the vicious gun attack shocked the entire country In less than a day, it had become international news.
“A foreigner was attacked in Ashlem. In order to protect himself, the man shot and killed five criminals on the spot.
“The police are vigorously investigating this matter...” The news was quickly reported to the public.
Although there was no mosaic of the victim's photo, Joanna felt vaguely uneasy after seeing the news.
“It's not Bruce, is it?” There was a beep from the other end of the line. “The number you have dialed is currently unavailable...” Joanna tried to call Bruce again, but unfortunately, there was still no answer.
This made Joanna feel even more uneasy.
Bruce had said he would be back the day before yesterday, but two days had passed, and Joanna couldn't even get through to him.
Joanna couldn’t get through to Darcy’s phone either, which made her even more anxious.
Joanna had no choice but to call Bruce's other subordinate, Tommy.
Tommy answered very quickly. “Hello?” “Tommy, this is Joanna Haynes.” “Hello, Miss Haynes. What can | do for you?”
