Chapter 398 - CHAOS

"You two are so noisy."

A voice rang inside the room Ian and Lexus entered. Hearing the voice so suddenly made them both jump in surprise because they did not expect to meet someone in this dark room.

In an instant, they aimed the guns they were holding at the source of the sound and with wary eyes they saw a man, who sat leaning against the wall behind him.

"Put down your guns," he ordered.

Only then did Lexus realize who was speaking. He recognized this voice, it was just that their current situation could really make anyone feel so tense to actually be able to pay close attention to their surroundings.

"Ramon?!" Lexus exclaimed, as he put down his gun and gave Ian a fierce look, before he approached his brother, saying, "Put your gun away."

Ian, who heard the curt tone from Lexus, could only roll his eyes and put down the gun he aimed at Ramon, before he approached the man.

"What happened to you?" Lexus asked with a panicked expression when he saw his brother looking pale with sweat dripping down his body. He had never seen his brother like this before. "What did they do to you?"

"They gave me drugs," Ramon said softly, but there was still annoyance in his voice.

If it wasn't for them being in this condition, then it was certain that Ian would have teased him by saying that it was the karma he had received for giving drugs to Giana, but of course it wouldn't be a joke at a time like this.

"Help me up," Ramon said, clenching his jaw tightly. He felt pain all over his body and his breath hitched when he didn't get the dose they always gave him.

A**holes!

But, the only thing he hoped for right now was; Hailee not experiencing anything like this and they didn't give her the drugs, because if that happened, he wouldn't let the law touch Leon and Giana, because he'd be the one to punish those two bastards.

Lexus then helped Ramon up.

"Drugs?" Lexus scowled. "You really look terrible now."

Ramon ignored Lexus' comments. "Who came to be your backup?" he had anticipated this. "Is it Diego Tatum?"

"Yes," Lexus answered quickly. "He's outside with some military personnel he brought, he'll be here soon, we'll just have to wait for him."

But, Ramon shook his head. "I have to find Hailee."

"You know where she is?" Ian asked.

Lexus supported his brother for a few steps, but then Ramon seemed strong enough to walk on his own.

"No," Ramon replied. His voice sounded much firmer. It seemed he had managed to regain consciousness.

"Then where are you going to look for Hailee?" Ian asked.

He was worried about the woman. If they treated Ramon like this, it wasn't impossible for Hailee to get the same treatment. Or even worse…

===================

"Go out!" one of the men, who opened the door to Hailee's room, exclaimed.

In the doorway, Hailee saw two men with towering figures standing with guns tucked in their waists, as they asked her to come out of there.

Hailee looked at the two men and followed their orders.

She looked at the room she had been in for several days, not knowing the time at all.

Hailee didn't even know if it was night or still morning now.

The two men walked behind Hailee with a gun pointed at her back. One of them was using a communication device to talk to another bodyguard who was setting up their escape route.

It seemed that this place was no longer safe for Leon, and he had been completely exposed.

What happened now reminded Hailee of what had happened to her before, when she was pregnant. An incident that she would never forget as she lost her then unborn baby.

Therefore, Hailee didn't want that incident to happen again. And at the same time, no one could guarantee her safety if Leon managed to take her away from this place.

All Hailee had to do was to stay in this place until help arrived, just like she had done in that two storey building, waiting for Ramon to come to her.

But, what could she do now?

Although Hailee was not tied or handcuffed, but with a gun digging into her back, it was certainly not an easy feat for her to escape on her own.

Hailee gritted her teeth and looked around, listening to the two of them communicate.

That was when Hailee learned that Ramon had managed to break free and Leon was in the underground parking lot, with a car ready to take her away.

Leon only had to wait for Hailee's arrival, before he left this place.

However, Hailee didn't hear anything about Giana. She didn't even know where that woman was...

And just as they were about to turn at a corner of this long corridor, Hailee saw Ramon, Ian and also Lexus, as well as several others behind them, wearing uniforms.

This place was completely under siege.

Of course seeing there was no other way to escape, the two people grabbed Hailee and held her body, and now the gun was stuck to Hailee's forehead. One careless move and her chances of survival would be close to zero.

On the other hand, when Ramon saw that, his facial expression turned very cold and it was hard to explain what was going on in his mind right now.

The man didn't show any fear or hesitation, but if just looking at someone could kill that person, then the two people who were holding Hailee up at this time, would have already met their deaths in a very tortuous manner.

Unfortunately, such a thing was not possible.

"You are surrounded, drop your weapons!" one of the cops cried from behind them. They both turned back and sure enough, two cops were behind them.

There was no way out of this situation.

"Get out of the way! Or I will kill this woman!" one of the men, who was now holding Hailee, exclaimed in panic.

Things were so chaotic, as both sides were shouting at each other, but no one was really listening.

While Ramon didn't say anything, his eyes didn't leave his wife, neither did Hailee.

The two of them stared at each other as if communicating, regardless of their surroundings at the moment.
