Chapter 341 Incident (II)
"We are following the boss' order. His clear instruction is to get madam out of here as soon as possible," the man firmly stated.
Roger pursed his lips to stop himself from cursing the man out loud. But then why was he even expecting Yichan's men to listen to him? They would rather die than disobey their boss. "Listen to me, this isn't the right time to act recklessly. I will talk to Yichan. We have to get out of here in a very sensible manner."
"There is no time for any thinking, we have to act fast. All you have to do is take madam out of here."
"Do you even realize where we are? This is a hospital, the place is packed with sick civilians. If anything goes wrong, even your boss wouldn't be able to handle it," Roger snapped.
"Go now—"
Left with no other choice, Roger tossed the phone away and started the engine. He didn't have the time to argue with Yichan's stubborn men. Even though what his men were asking him to do involved a lot of risk, he had to compile.
Tightening Ning's seatbelt, he instructed, "Hold on tight okay? There might be a few jerks every now—"
Cutting him off, Ning asked, "You just said it's not safe to leave."
"Yes but—"
"Roger, we are surrounded by them. We can't take the risk."
"But we have to—"
"No, stop the car. We can't do this, we can't take the risk," Ning insisted.
"Ning it's risky even if we stay here."
"But trying to get out of here unharmed is nearly impossible." Looking at him with teary eyes, she grabbed his hand. "You can't do this please—"
"Hey, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" He panicked. Roger knew Ning for years now and he had never seen her like this. These attacks had been happening since she was young but she had always been very strong no matter what happened but today, she looked so weak and vulnerable. She looked helpless and he didn't like seeing her like that.
Tightening her grip on his hand, Ning said, "I am pregnant."
PREGNANT
The word gave him chills. He couldn't believe what he had heard.
"What?" he yelled. "You are pregnant?" When she nodded, he snapped, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Without wasting any time, he loosened her seat belt which he had tightened a while ago. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Grabbing his hair, Roger groaned, "Shit…shit…shit—what should I do?" The stress he was feeling in his heart tripled. He had to protect Ning as well as his unborn niece or nephew.
"Roger—"
"Stop—let me think." The initial plan of taking the risk and trying to drive out of the parking lot was clearly out of question. He had to promptly think of a different approach but his mind wasn't supporting him.
Just then one of Yichan's men called him again.
"This motherf*ucker," he cursed before rejecting the call. He had to calm down first to think of a different approach and talking to Yichan's stubborn men would definitely not help him.
Taking a few deep breaths, Roger called someone. "Let's solve this peacefully, shall we?"
Ning on the other hand was also in a very stressed situation. She wanted Yichan to be the first one to know about her pregnancy but given the situation, she had to tell Roger about it.
She had no idea whom he was talking to over the phone but a part of her told her to trust and follow him.
Hanging up the call, he called Yichan next. Since things were risky from all directions, Roger had thought of something but he needed Yichan's help.
"Ask your men to back off."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Yichan yelled. He was already feeling very helpless not being able to be with his wife in such a crisis. He was trying his best to take care of the situation even though he was far away. Asking his men to back off was completely insane to him.
"You have to trust me Yichan, ask your men to back off."
"I swear Roger if something happens to Ning—"
"Ning is not just your wife but also my sister. I would never let anything happen to her especially now when—" Roger stopped when Ning gestured him not to tell Yichan about her pregnancy. If he learned that she was pregnant, he would definitely freak out.
"First tell me what are you planning to do."
"There is no time to explain, you have to trust me. Ask your men to back off before it's too late. We don't have much time left," Roger stated.
"Ning is my everything Roger. I am trusting you with my life," Yichan remarked before hanging up the call.
A few seconds later, he received a call from one of Yichan's men informing him that they wouldn't crossfire or make any move.
After getting the green signal, Roger called someone to give him an update about the situation.
Ning was about to ask what was going on when she saw the cars which were blocking them slowly move away.
A marron SUV drove out of the parking lot and Roger followed it.
...
[Outskirts]
They had been following the maroon SUV for the past half an hour but Roger refused to tell her where they were going. This made Ning feel a little restless.
Sensing her anxiety, Roger tried to calm her down. "Relax, even I don't know where we are going."
"Who are these people?"
"They are my father's men," he answered.
She frowned. "Then why are we following them?"
Just then the car in front of them stopped. Men dressed in black stepped out and stood in front of their car.
Unbuckling his seat belt, Roger instructed her. "Lock the doors properly and stay inside." He then stepped out of the car.
….
"Young master," the men greeted them in unison.
Roger couldn't help but scoff. Weren't they the same people who had open fired on his car a while ago?
"You know we did not do that on purpose, right?" A man remarked. "We are just following orders."
"Was sending me an anonymous warning email also a part of our orders?"
