Chapter 643 - Rescuing the Stupid Bigshots
Chapter 643 Rescuing the Stupid Bigshots
“Wait, it hurts!” Blake cried out just as her head reached the sunroof.
Luke stopped moving. “Where does it hurt?”
Blake frowned and tried exerting strength a few times. “It’s my ankle. I think it’s stuck.”
Luke pressed down harder on the front seat to push it further aside. “Try moving now and see if you can pull your foot out.”
Blake furrowed her brow and bit her lip hard. “Wait, I think there’s some space for me to move around now…”
They were in that awkward position for around ten seconds, before Blake’s expression suddenly lit up. “Okay, I’m out.”
Luke: “Then I’m going to continue.”
Blake nodded.
Luke was also helpless.
The car just happened to be stuck inside the underground passage, and there wasn’t enough space around it. The front windshield was blocked by the driver and more cement blocks. The rear windshield had partly collapsed in and was jammed as well. Neither of them was accessible.
Of course, it would’ve been simpler if both victims were unconscious; Luke could’ve cut open the top of the car open with a dagger.
The good thing was that Blake was about to be free.
Now that her ankle was free, Luke pulled her out.
However, when she was crawling out of the sunroof, both of them felt embarrassed… because she got stuck again.
Luke: “…I’ll pull my legs back first.”
Blake simply nodded in embarrassment.
Just now, her impressive bosom had been pressed to Luke’s legs inside the car.
If Luke used more force, he could pull her out, but she would probably be stripped of the low-cut dress that she was wearing.
A moment later, Blake stood next to Luke on the top of the car.
Luke leaned down and reached for a cellphone in the backseat. He then gave it to Blake.
“Come on. I’ll give you a ride up.” He bent down slightly, and she obediently got onto his back.
Holding her with one hand, Luke exerted strength with his legs and his other hand, and swiftly climbed out of the collapsed passage.
It wasn’t safe down here.
There were still faint aftershocks every now and then. Luke didn’t want to see her crushed to death under a piece of falling concrete. “Wait here and don’t go anywhere. I’ll rescue the driver and get the both of you out together,” he said as he put Blake down.
Blake nodded again and didn’t say anything.
Luke jumped back into the underground passage again and crawled into the car through the sunroof.
Two minutes later, he carried the unconscious driver up. “Come on. Follow me. Keep your footing and don’t rush.”
Supporting the driver on his back with one hand and Blake with the other, Luke chatted with her to distract her from the driver covered in blood. “Why are you here alone?”
Blake: “I… One of my mother’s friends had a party upstairs, so I came with him.”
Luke: “Why didn’t he leave with you?”
Blake’s expression wasn’t very good. After hesitating for a moment, she said, “He… had something else on, and left first.”
Luke looked at the girl’s face and found it strange that the girl called Claire instead of her mother’s friend for help when the man was probably still in the plaza.
But something had probably happened which she didn’t want to talk about, so Luke didn’t ask further.
Just like that, the three of them carefully made their way out of the underground parking lot.
Luke stopped a patrol officer, told him about the driver’s injuries, and had him call for an ambulance. He then turned around and said to Blake, “Okay, follow the ambulance later, and get yourself checked at the hospital if you feel unwell. Call me if anything happens.”
Saying that, he gave her his card.
Blake accepted the card and said, “Thanks.”
Luke nodded and turned around. “Alright, I need to get back to work. Sorry that I can’t escort you… uh.”
Blake stepped forward and gave him a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. “Thank you very much, Luke.”
Luke gave his trademark smile. “You’re welcome. It’s my job!” He then turned around and walked into the plaza.
But at that moment, he couldn’t help but sigh feelingly that her bosom was the real deal!
Blake’s expression was complicated as she stood there and wrapped the casual jacket she was wearing around her.
It had also collected a lot of dust, but still looked a lot better than her dirty and ragged dress.
It was Luke’s, but he had given it to her when he saw her sorry state.
Thinking about what Luke said earlier, she had complicated feelings. Some people earned a scant wage, but were willing to risk their life to rescue her.
Some people worth billions disappeared while she was still trapped underground.
She finally made a decision on something she had been pondering: she would stay with her father in Los Angeles instead of going to San Francisco.
Luke didn’t know that his casual words would change the fate of a certain family in the future.
Different from innocent Blake’s notion that he was going to save the masses, Luke had gone into the plaza to rescue those stupid bigshots.
That was the description which Selina sent to him. She clearly wasn’t in a good mood.
That was because she was climbing the stairs.
At a height of 82 floors, Redick Plaza looked splendid, but when the bigshots didn’t dare take the elevators and couldn’t leave on helicopters, it became a lofty, annoying mountain.
And for LAPD, it was even more annoying.
That was because LAPD’s biggest boss received multiple calls demanding that the bigshots on the top floor be rescued even though all the officers were busy.
As one of the few elite female detectives in the central zone, Selina was instantly given the order to rescue two female bigshots.
She had cursed out loud on the spot.
None of the officers around her said a word, and simply looked at her in admiration.
They didn’t have the courage to curse the bigshots as idiots, although they felt that the description really fit. Selina was resentful, but she had ample stamina, and only muttered to herself unhappily.
The other two female officers with her could only climb the stairs with dark faces as they silently cursed the bigshots and their families above them with all the obscenities they knew.
Thinking about how they had to climb up 82 floors just to bring a group of women down with them again, their hearts collapsed at that moment; they were women, too!
When Luke called, Selina and the unlucky officers were taking a break.
Climbing up 50 floors in one breath was completely different from climbing up to the fifth floor.
If the higher-ups hadn’t called to urge them on every now and then, they would’ve taken a break on the 30th floor.
As Luke ran upward at a normal speed, he was thinking that this was too much of a waste of time; he had to think of another way to send these idiots off.
Thinking that, he sent a message to Selina.
Selina perked up at his message and hurriedly agreed.
She didn’t want to spend the whole night climbing the stairs.
