Chapter 295 - 295: So Cool

"Handsome Pervert!" Sandy exclaimed in surprise.

"Chief Detective Lee!" Josh said with relief as if he found a hero who could save them in this predicament.

"Erick.." Elle mumbled in a low voice which was almost a whisper.

"Argh!" The guard grunted when Erick slightly twisted his arm.

"Who are you? STOP or else I'll shoot!" The other guard warned Erick as he pointed a gun in his direction.

Sandy and Josh gasped in horror after seeing the gun pointing in Erick's direction. On the other hand, Elle's eyes darkened as she clenched her fists.

'How dare he point a gun at Erick? Is he courting death?' Elle thought to herself.

Meanwhile, the other members of Alpha Cinco also rushed in their direction. Bryan also picked his gun when he saw the scene.

"Hey, freeze! Put your gun down! We are from the Crime Investigation Bureau." Bryan warned the other guard as he also aimed his gun at him.

"Hey, everyone. Calm down first. Let's talk this out in a peaceful manner." June butted in as he showed them his badge, trying to calm the situation.

Meanwhile, Erick couldn't care less about the others as his focus was fixed to the man who tried to hurt Elle.

"Let Go Of Her Hand Now!" Erick firmly said with his stern cold voice. 

His bloodshot eyes were still looking daggers at the man. The guard was still holding Elle's arm as he dragged her a while ago.

Seeing Erick's dangerous glare, the guard finally released Elle's hand. Erick did the same. Then he gently pulled Elle towards his backside as if he was trying to shield her using his own body.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" He asked her. There was a hint of deep concern in his voice.

Erick's expression softened when he looked at her.

Elle just shook her head absentmindedly. She was still in a trance. Erick's action was really cool that her heart almost jumped out of her chest. She had the urge to throw herself to him and reward him with a kiss. His protective gesture had touched her heart.

Erick and his team also planned to visit Senator Mondragon today. They would give him the initial reports and updates about the progress of this case.

Erick was the one driving the car. His team was also with him. Before they reached the front gate, Erick already saw Elle from the distance. He smiled immediately after seeing her familiar figure.

He saw them talking to the guards then suddenly the three people turned their back and started walking away from the guards. Afraid that Elle would leave without even seeing him, he immediately parked the car near the gate.

He stepped out of the car quickly which made his team wonder. He took large strides towards Elle's direction. When he was just two meters away from them, Erick witnessed Elle slapping the guard. That's the time he ran, worried that something might happen to her.

He became furious when he saw the guard drag Elle in a very harsh manner. Fortunately, he was able to reach her on time before she was hit by the guard.

"She is the one who is at fault here. He hit me first!" The guard ranted, massaging his hurt wrist.

Sandy couldn't hold her anger anymore. She stepped forward and defended Elle.

"You are the one who is harassing us. We can sue you for attempted s.e.x.u.a.l assault or shall we say s.e.x.u.a.l harassment! We already told you many times that we are here to conduct an interview but you refused to let us in! You made us wait for thirty minutes!" Sandy poured out spontaneously.

"That's right. We were about to leave but you stopped us, saying that we could now enter. But suddenly you are saying that you need to conduct a body search first. Ali asked you to call a lady guard to do it but you two insisted on doing it and talked some inappropriate words to the ladies." Josh also spoke up as he supported Sandy's claim.

Upon hearing that, Erick's face darkened once again. He had the urge to beat someone. He couldn't tolerate this kind of dirty action. The worst-case was they tried to harass his woman.

Erick was about to charge against the man but Elle held his arm and stopped him.

"Hey, calm down," Elle mumbled softly. Her simple words had helped Erick to cool down a little bit.

"You are spouting nonsense! Do you have proof? How dare you hit a senatorial bodyguard? Hitting me is like you are hitting and insulting Senator Mondragon, himself! Both of you will pay for this! I am the one who will sue you!" The guard kept on denying his wrongdoing. He even put the blame on Erick and Elle.

Suddenly, three sports cars arrived. Since they were still doing their arguments outside the gate, the three cars stopped in their spot. A gorgeous lady in her white floral dress alighted from one of the cars. That was Diana, Senator Mondragon's daughter.

Upon seeing their senorita, the two guards broke their brave font and greeted her politely like puppies wagging their tails to their owner.

"What's happening here?" Diana asked everyone. Her annoyance and irritation were reflected in her authoritative voice. She looked upset seeing these people blocking their way.

But her expression changed in an instant upon noticing the most handsome guy among those people. She recognized Erick immediately. His face never left her mind since the day she first saw him.

"Oh, it's you, Chief Detective Lee." Her tone also changed. She said in a very sweet manner. Her face showed an expression of delight for seeing him once again.

"Miss Diana…" Erick plainly said as he acknowledged her presence.

"Why are you here? Is there a problem?" Diana asked again, noticing the atmosphere filled with tension.

It was Sandy who explained to Diana, everything that happened without leaving any details. After several minutes of listening to Sandy's long and spontaneous statements, Diana somehow grasped the situation.

"Oh, so that's what happened," Diana mumbled as she gave the two guards a ridiculing look.

"The two of you. You are fired!"
