Chapter 737 - Hooking a Small Fish
As Harrison spoke, there was a burst of gunfire in front of him which kicked up dust and debris.
But police reinforcements arrived very quickly.
Numerous patrol cars arrived with their sirens blaring. A large number of police officers rushed into the hospital and began to surround the criminals near the entrance.
The situation had turned around. Seeing that things weren’t looking good, the criminals started to retreat to a side door.
The two leaders charged through a door and shouted “clear” before the group retreated in single file in the direction of a hallway that was only ten meters away.
Two small shadows were tossed in lightly from the side door, one in front and the other at the back of the group.
Bang! Bang!
After two explosions, all the criminals collapsed.
In such a narrow passage, stun grenades were just that powerful.
Luke said, “Harrison, have the patrol officers come to the side entrance on the left. I’ve subdued them.”
As he spoke, he collected their guns and left.
…
At that moment, a fully-armed person appeared outside the emergency room.
After a brief hesitation, he raised his gun, kicked the door open, and charged in.
Passing through a partition, he entered the operating room.
The doctors and nurses in the operating theater looked at him in surprise.
Seeing the gun in his hand, everybody obediently raised their hands.
The man quickly walked over to the operating table and looked at the wounded man. “Why is it a man?”
Applause rang out behind him, and he abruptly turned around and aimed his gun at the door.
Luke walked out unhurriedly. “You can get back to work, doctors. I’ll take care of this criminal.”
The man’s hand trembled.
Luke, however, didn’t look at him. He turned around and asked, “Do you want to say something?”
Another person walked out of the darkness.
The man had been perfectly hidden in the dark. It wasn’t until he spoke that his location was exposed. “T.J., why are you doing this?”
The doctors and nurses looked at them nervously.
Their bulletproof vests and badges indicated that they were police officers, but the criminal in the black hood was closer to the operating table. How could they feel like carrying on with the surgery?
Luke said, “Harrison, I’m only doing this for you. If he doesn’t drop his gun in three seconds, I’ll shoot him.”
The man in the black mask in front of him trembled.
He had seen how terrifying Luke’s marksmanship was, or he wouldn’t have taken advantage of the chaos to avoid Luke and come straight to the E.R..
Pa!
He decisively threw the pistol away.
Losing his job was better than losing his life.
Besides, he hadn’t done any real damage yet. There was always the chance he could wrangle his way out of this in court.
If he fought Luke, not only would he lose his life, his reputation would also be ruined.
Dead people couldn’t defend themselves.
A moment later, Luke and Harrison were standing outside the E.R..
Harrison looked exhausted. “Can you give us some space, Luke?”
“I can pretend I didn’t see anything.” Luke shrugged and left.
The man in the black mask was one of Harrison’s four team members.
Luke had met T.J. McCabe before, but he wasn’t familiar with him.
The reason why the man had gone to the E.R. was simple.
He was just another dirty cop who had come to kill Jennifer for the Elsworths.
Unfortunately for him, Luke hacked into the hospital system as soon as he arrived and changed Jennifer’s surgery records.
Other than the front line paramedics, anyone else in the hospital would only be able to find this operating room.
If the Elsworths’ men were more attentive, this would only be able to delay their attack.
But they were clearly in a hurry and didn’t notice Luke’s trick, which was how he had managed to hook T.J. McCabe, this little fish.
Harrison, on the other hand, was the pitiful one. He was going to lose another team member.
Luke silently said his condolences to the captain. They had already passed through two hallways and had reached another one where Dustin was still looking around warily.
Luke stepped forward with a smile. “It’s all done, boss.”
Dustin was relieved. “How did it go?”
Luke said, “If they can still send one or two hundred people over, we can handle it.”
Dustin was relieved.
Luke didn’t joke when it came to business. If he said that he had taken care of the criminals, then there weren’t any problems.
“I’ve already made some calls. Elsa is arranging for a new ward. I’ll go back first. Call me if anything happens,” said Luke.
Dustin nodded. “Thank you.”
Luke suddenly chuckled. “Let me ask you something, boss.”
Dustin said, “Go ahead.”
“Did your girlfriend buy fire insurance?” asked Luke.
Stunned for a moment, Dustin forgot to deny the title of “girlfriend.” He said, “…I didn’t ask. Her income isn’t low, so she should have?”
Luke said, “That’s good. Let me tell you a piece of good news. Her apartment just caught fire, and was seriously damaged.”
Dustin was stunned. “What?”
Luke said, “Clean up the scene and kill those in the know; nobody can expose what they’ve done.”
Dustin’s face darkened.
He wasn’t a snot-nosed brat.
As long as the Elsworth family was given a chance to take a breather, they might be able to escape the crime.
Until then, they would spare no effort to kill Jennifer, this huge troublemaker.
“Boss, think about how to blow the matter up tonight,” Luke said before he turned around and left. “According to the patrol officers, the criminals who came out of the parking lot were carrying a lot of plastic explosives, enough to send the entire hospital into the sky.”
Dustin’s heart skipped a beat, but then he realized that he could make use of it.
Luke turned around and left. He took out a lollipop and put it in his mouth as he called Selina. “When we’re done, let’s go home for dinner.”
On the way home, he wondered if Bruce Banner was that Bruce Banner.
It wasn’t a common name, but it wasn’t easy for Luke to search the entire country.
The United States wasn’t China. Each state had an independent administrative system.
It was impossible to simply hack into a system and find everyone’s names.
Some murderers just needed to change their names and identities, and could live in another state for decades after committing a crime in one state.
Luke didn’t remember Banner having a cousin, at least not in his memories. It seemed that he only had a special girlfriend?
But now that Dr. Banner was in the hospital and was related to Jennifer, it wasn’t hard to investigate.
Most of the time, the difficulty in a search didn’t have to do with the level of secrecy, but in finding a clear target in the ocean.
By the time he got home for dinner, he had already found out about Bruce Banner.
