Zachary wanted to shield Wanda, but the sight of the dark gun barrel sapped his courage.
Wanda’s frail body trembled slightly, like a leaf swaying in the wind.
She closed her eyes tightly. At that moment, her mind and heart were filled with thoughts of Carlisle.
*Carlisle, I’m sorry… I may not be able to continue our journey together. If there is a next life, I hope we
won’t have so many obstacles,” she silently prayed in her heart.
Shein stepped in front of Wanda and said into the phone, “I need 300 million dollars in cash!”
The finance officer was stunned momentarily and replied, “300 million in cash? I doubt all the banks in
Riverland could come up with that amount…”
Shein’s voice turned cold.”
“Then find a way. What do I pay you for?”
“Yes- yes, sir!” the finance officer responded, trembling.
Shein hung up and stared at the gang leader.
“Moving that amount of cash will surely alert the police. Aren’t you afraid?”
The leader rested the gun on his shoulder and nonchalantly said, “I received word ten minutes ago that the police are already on their way. If I were afraid, I wouldn’t be here before you.”
Shein asked, ‘Are you Jalen’s men?”
The leader responded coldly, “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t.”
Shein closed his mouth, deciding not to speak further.
The leader then ordered, “Take us to your old house!”
They even knew about Shein’s old house, indicating that these people had planned this ambush meticulously.
Shein sighed inwardly and led them to his old house.
Around 11:00 am, a black Mazda stopped by the roadside outside the town.
Francis said, ‘I’ll go take a look.”
But before he could finish, they saw two men approaching with submachine guns.
Carlisle’s face hardened.
“Drive, now.”
Francis immediately shifted gears and hit the gas pedal. The car shot forward like an arrow.
Fortunately, the two men didn’t open fire.
Francis and Carlisle stopped after driving about a mile.
Francis breathed a small sigh of relief.
“These robbers are no joke!”
Carlisle pinched the bridge of his nose.
“The police probably can’t do much against them either.”
Francis said helplessly, “Let’s hope they’re only after money.”

Carlisle took out his phone and called Benjamin.
Benjamin answered after a brief moment.
Carlisle spoke first, “Did you find anything?”
Benjamin replied seriously, “Yes. Jalen has no parents, his wife runs a company abroad, and his son and daughter attend a private school he set up himself.”
Carlisle narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Can you kidnap his children?”
Benjamin hesitated momentarily before answering. “I’ll try, but don’t get your hopes up too high.
Carlisle sighed.
“Forget it. It’s too dangerous. Heath is still in the ICU, and I don’t want to see you get into trouble. I plan to have you take Heath to that alternative medicine physician in a few days.”
“Alternative medicine?” Benjamin was puzzled at first, then ecstatic.
“You mean there’s hope for Heath?”
Carlisle smiled.
“Yes, this physician has successfully treated many brain hemorrhage patients. He’s a neighbor of my parents. I’ll have you and Heath stay at my parents‘ once he’s discharged. They can help look after him.”
“Thank you, Carlisle!”
Benjamin was overwhelmed with gratitude.
Heath’s condition in the ICU weighed heavily on Benjamin’s mind.
Carlisle had not only made all the arrangements but was also offering his parents‘ help. The gratitude he felt was overwhelming. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Benjamin made a decision. He would kidnap Jalen’s children.
Benjamin made up his mind.

*Carlisle, wait for my good news.”
“What are you planning?”
Carlisle’s tone turned solemn.
Benjamin said, “I respect Heath and you more than anyone. If it means risking my life to help you, then so
be it!”
Carlisle frowned and said sternly, “Don’t do anything rash. If something happens to you, how will I face… Hello? Benjamin!”
Benjamin hung up before Carlisle could finish. Carlisle sighed in frustration.
Francis glanced at Carlisle through the rearview mirror.
