Chapter 176: Apprehension

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The masked man clearly had a good plan, but Caroline would not give him the chance. Just as his hand was about to touch the gun, a bullet from the side broke his finger.

The masked man retracted his hand as if he had been stung. He saw his bloody finger, but he still didn't give up. He continued to reach out for the gun.

His finger was already broken anyway, so it didn't matter if he got shot again. As long as he could get the gun, he would have a chance to live.

But this time, Caroline aimed her gun at the gun. The sound of the bullet and the metal of the stock hitting each other was very sharp. The masked man only saw a small flash of fire. The AK gun bounced on the ground and fell to the ground. The trigger had disappeared.

This time, even if he had the gun, he couldn't shoot. The masked man turned around in despair and looked at Caroline, who walked out of the tea forest with the gun in her hand. He roared, “Your marksmanship is so good. How did you end up as a rich young lady?”

As powerful bounty hunters, they never thought that one day, they would actually be defeated by such a seemingly weak and helpless young lady. Caroline ignored his anger. She walked over and shot him in the thigh. This time, the masked man could not escape.

On the other side of the manor, when the crowd heard the first gunshot, they did not react to what it was. It was not until the second and third gunshots that they were frightened.

Thinking that it was a gunshot, Mrs. Ford immediately recalled Mrs. Hall's identity and subconsciously shouted, “Where's Hatton?”

The pale-faced maid beside her replied, “The butler brought Miss Caroline to the lake.”

Mrs. Ford immediately covered her mouth and exclaimed, “Oh my god! The little girls are still playing by the lake. Where did the gunshots come from?”

Obviously, Mrs. Hull and Joline had also thought of this problem. Compared to

Mrs. Hall, who was new to the danger of being with the highest governor, Joline was much calmer in dealing with this kind of unexpected situation.

She immediately picked up her cell phone and called the bodyguards waiting outside the teahouse, asking them to hurry up and save the people.

Joline hung up the phone. “I'm sorry, Mrs. Ford. My men might be breaking into your teahouse.”

Mrs. Ford finally reacted. She quickly contacted the bodyguards and asked them to quickly go to the lake to protect the little girls.

Joline suddenly said, “Leave some people outside the teahouse.”

Mrs. Ford was just about to object when she saw the pale-faced Mrs. Hall and fell silent.

Her two daughters were indeed very important, but if something happened to Mrs. Hall in the teahouse, their whole family would not be able to escape.

To his surprise, Mrs. Hall suddenly stood up. “The gunshot should have come from the lake. My Julie is still there. I'm sorry, but as a mother, I can't stay here.”

Joline looked at the two of them and finally compromised. “I hope that no matter what you see later, you can try your best to remain calm, okay?”

The bodyguard led the way, and the three of them supported each other and followed closely behind.

The tea garden was too wide and the ridges were too narrow for a car to drive in. It took about 15 minutes to walk from the house to the lake. Even if a strong man ran over, it would take at least five or six minutes.

As the gunshots continued, the three ladies' faces turned paler and paler. They were now certain that the gunshots were coming from the lake. It was just that there was a large slope in front of them, blocking their line of sight, so they couldn't see what was happening there at all.

But even if they couldn't see, just the thought of a few defenseless little girls meeting a brutal bandit made them panic.

Joline was also worried about Caroline's safety, but she didn't show such anxiety as she had been through a lot. Instead, she comforted the two. “Since there are different gunshots, it's very likely that the two sides are fighting. Although I don't know who is fighting, as long as the gunshots haven't stopped, they are probably safe.”

“I hope so,” Mrs. Hall nodded, but the panic on her face didn't decrease at all. They finally climbed to the top of the hill and could see the scene at the bottom of the lake.

It could only be said that they came at the right time, just in time to see the tall and slender man shooting with an AK. At this moment, Mrs. Ford saw Hannah, who was sitting on the ground and crying, Helen, who was in the middle of the lake, and Butler Hatton, who rowed over to protect Helen..
