The Bodyguard System

He was sure that if he decided not to cooperate with her, she would shoot him. As for if she was going for the kill or just to immobilize him, he did not know.

Nonetheless, he was not intending to stay here. He currently had less than 30 minutes in order to get to the location that had been sent to him, so that he could save the old man\'s life.

So, no matter what, he was not willing to stay here. Even with the gun pointed at him, he still opened his mouth and said, "I do wonder if you will really shoot. After all, why would you shoot me? Am I a criminal? Do you have any evidence that proves that I am a criminal who deserves to be shot?"

Despite knowing that Angela was intending to shoot, Jaden still asked those questions. After all, he had no other way out, and he was not planning on fighting with a police officer.

If he did something like that, he was definitely going to be judged for resisting arrest. But now, what he had just said made sense. It was true that there was a person here who was injured, and the two of them were the only ones at the scene, so, they were required to cooperate with the police, and say what had happened here.

But nonetheless, it might be true that Lucas was injured, but he was not dead. So of course, this was not a very big issue, and it could be solved. Additionally, it was not as if Jaden was running away. If they looked for him, they could simply find him later on, but still, that was after he had dealt with the issue concerning the safety of the old man.

Angela was suddenly dumbfounded by the question. That\'s right, Jaden was right with what he had said. The only reason why she was preparing to shoot was simply because she was so much frustrated recently.

She had been investigating the matter concerning the death that had happened in the warehouse. Of course, it was quite difficult for her to be able to investigate the matter, considering that she had to make sure that nobody knew that she was investigating.

And for that reason, it took quite a long time for her to be able to find what she wanted. Of course, the evidence that she possessed was not solid enough, but still, it pointed towards Jaden and Scarlet together with a group of youths.

During the day that the person died, Jaden, Scarlet, and other youngsters were present. Even though she was not sure that they were the ones that had killed that person, still, they were there on that day.

The only reason why she rushed here was simply because she had gotten information that Jaden and Scarlet had come to this place. Of course, the information was from a friend of hers that worked in the traffic.

Scarlet\'s Ferrari f8 was well known by her, and so, she had been asking her friend to keep an eye on that car. And when she was intending to look for them, she was informed that they were heading in this direction.

Of course, she could have arrived a little earlier than this, but she was not sure if they had come here in the abandoned factory. So in the end, after looking around for a while, she finally decided to come over.

Coincidentally, the moment that she arrived, it was the time that Jaden was about to leave. Additionally, there was a person that was screaming on the ground, with his leg broken.

From this, together with the evidence that she possessed that Jaden and Scarlet might be related to the murder incident that had occurred a few weeks ago, she immediately pointed a gun towards Jaden the moment that he showed that he was going to leave.

But now, what Jaden had said had brought her back to her senses. It was true that she had investigated, and everything was pointing towards Jaden and his group, but that was not enough to be able to say that Jaden and Scarlet were involved in the murder.

Additionally, even though there was a person on the ground, she had not even gotten information from him, to know that he was injured by Jaden and Scarlet. So of course, if she ended up shooting Jaden, and he was not related in any way to this incidences, she would even lose her job, other than being taken to court.

While she was wavering, Jaden had already opened the car door. He was no longer paying attention to that lady, as the thing in his mind was the safety of the old man.

Scarlet had a worried expression on her face. She did not understand what was going on, as Jaden received a call, then later on, he seemed to have read something, before his expression shifted completely.

Of course, just like Jaden, she did not want to be involved with the police. It might be easy for her family to be able to take care of this issue, considering that it was Lucas who had taken action against Jaden first, and had tried to use gangsters to kill him.

Nonetheless, she was not intending to use the family in order to solve this issue. After all, this was definitely going to limit her freedom in the future, as her parents might think that she was going to do something dangerous.

And more than that, she was also worried about Jaden. She was not sure if Jaden would be allowed to leave just like that, after knowing what he had done.

She understood that Lucas\' family was not that simple. Even though it was small as compared to the Johnson family, it could still cause waves.

The matter of Jaden breaking Lucas\'s leg could be solved a little easily, considering that the evidence of Lucas being involved with gangsters to plot against Jaden was in her hands.

Nonetheless, it was better if they solved things privately, rather than involving the police. If the police was involved, things were going to be a little complicated.

While she was worried, she looked at Jaden, before looking at Angela who still had her gun raised and pointed towards them, before looking at Jaden again.

The Jaden in front of her was completely different from the one that she knew. Right now, she was afraid of Jaden. After all, his expression was so intimidating, to the extent that she was afraid that Jaden might actually attack her if she did something wrong.

Jaden got inside the car, and took the driver\'s seat. Then, he looked at Scarlet and said, "Get in the car."

Jaden no longer cared about the fact that Scarlet was his client. So, he immediately ordered, not caring to be polite at all. As for Angela, he completely ignored her.

Even though Scarlet was surprised by Jaden\'s tone, she still reacted and got inside the car. Of course she was worried about Angela, but when she noticed that the female police officer did not take action, she simply followed what Jaden had said.

The moment that she got inside the car, she looked at Jaden, while wondering what had happened. She still hoped that Jaden would tell her what was going on.

"Put on your seat belt." Jaden stated with a cold voice.

Scarlet subconsciously put on the seat belt. With her pride, it was definitely impossible for her to do something like that, listening to Jaden\'s commands. But somehow, today, when Jaden asked her to do that, she immediately did it.

As for the thought of resistance, she did not even dare to think about it. Instead, she was quite worried about Jaden, and so, she never bothered about the details.

No sooner had Scarlet put on the seat belt that the car engine suddenly roared. Then in the next moment, the dusty ground beneath the tires of the Ferrari f8 was suddenly stirred.

A thick cloud of dust rose up from the ground, and the car suddenly began moving. It had just moved a little, before it suddenly made a turn, and headed towards the main road through the path that led to the old factory.

Scarlet had not expected Jaden to drive like that. Even though this was not the first time that she was experiencing Jaden driving in such a way, she was scared nonetheless.

Jaden did not care about what Scarlet was thinking, and instead, he was simply focused on getting to his destination. So, when he was driving, he did not hold back at all, and the car was moving at the highest speed that it could on the bumpy old road.

It was a good thing that despite the road being a little old, it did not have many potholes. Otherwise, it would have been quite difficult for the Ferrari to be able to move at such a high speed.

The moment that they got back on the highway, the speed of the car suddenly shot up. It was overtaking vehicles left and right, while not caring about the traffic lights.

For the matter related to breaking of the traffic rules, Jaden did not pay attention at all. Right now, that was a very small issue as compared to the life of the old man.
