The Bodyguard System

But before he could ask, the call was suddenly ended. Then, when Jaden was contemplating on whether to call the other party or not, he received a notification, indicating that he had received a new message.

Jaden looked at the screen of his phone, and realized that he had received an email. He opened the email from an unfamiliar sender called \'fakeemail\'.

Not caring about the name of the sender, Jaden looked at the contents of the email. In the email, there was a location that had been shared. And other than that, there was a statement just above the location shared.

{We have your old man. Come to the location below within 30 minutes, or this old man dies. Make sure that you come alone, and don\'t try to call the cops. In case you dare to do that, then the old man will be dead.

If you delay by even 10 seconds, the old man will be dead. If you come with anybody else, the old man will be dead. Keep that in mind.}

After reading that notification, Jaden immediately understood what was going on. It seemed that whoever it was that was contacting him right now, had somehow managed to kidnap the old man.

That old man had already gotten out of the hospital, and had gone back to the apartment. Jaden had already been informed of that, considering that he did not have a chance of going to visit the old man again ever since the last time that they had met.

Since he had not left the Johnson residence recently, Jaden had not yet carried out the plan that he was having about relocating the old man to Maco community.

Jaden\'s expression shifted, and his expression darkened. He put the phone inside his pocket, then opened the door of the car.

He completely ignored Scarlet who was trying to know what was going on, and approached Lucas who was still waiting on the ground.

The area that they were currently in was quite secluded, and it was impossible for people to come here anytime soon. So, Lucas\' wailing had not managed to attract any attention towards them.

Jaden approached Lucas who was still wailing on the ground, and looked at him with killing intent filling his eyes.

Lucas was still trying to endure the pain that he was undergoing, and so, he did not notice that Jaden had come over. At the same time, he was still regretting in his heart.

Previously, he had thought that something fascinating was going to happen between him and Scarlet when they were in this secluded place. So, he had instructed one of his lackeys to make sure that nobody approached this area.

That was something that he regretted. If those guys were here, he would have already been taken to the hospital, and would not be bleeding right now. He was currently feeling dizzy, due to the excessive loss of blood.

Of course, the thing that he regretted the most was the fact that he had left his phone behind when he came over. He was afraid that his father might call, and since he was afraid of switching his phone off, or having his father tracking his location, he decided to leave one of his subordinates with his phone.

And due to that, it was impossible for him to be able to call for help. As for driving, with a broken leg, it was going to be impossible for him to do that. It could be said that he was bound to struggle, for him to be able to get out of this place alive.

When Jaden looked at Lucas who was still screaming on the ground, he did not care. Instead, he kicked towards Lucas\'s left rib.

Bam!

This time, Jaden held back, and did not attack using his full strength. Otherwise, if he did so, it was clear that Lucas was going to die, if he did not receive immediate medical attention.

Lucas felt the tremendous force that suddenly hit his ribs. He looked towards Jaden immediately, when he turned around, trying to hide the area that had been hit, while clutching that left rib, trying to endure the pain.

Lucas did not understand the reason why Jaden had come back to hit him again. Previously, he had noticed that Jaden was leaving after he had broken his leg. But now, he was back. Could It be that he was not satisfied with just breaking his leg?

"Did you do something to my old man?" Jaden asked. He did not doubt that Lucas knew about the old man that Jaden thought of as a grandfather. So of course, he thought that perhaps this call was somehow related to Lucas.

"What…what old man a-are…you talking…about?" Lucas had no choice but to struggle to squeeze those words out of his throat.

After all, the gaze that he was receiving from Jaden implied that if he did not respond, Jaden would attack. That was something that he did not doubt. It was clear that Jaden did not care about his background, at least for now, and so, Lucas was afraid that he would have another of his leg being broken.

Jaden frowned upon hearing Lucas\'s question. At this moment, Jaden understood that Lucas would definitely tell him the truth. Since he looked completely clueless, it was clear that the call was not related to Lucas.

Thinking about that, Jaden simply looked at Lucas for a while, before he turned around and headed towards the car. Scarlet immediately followed him, as she had immediately alighted from the car when she noticed Jaden heading towards Lucas.

Jaden had just managed to get close to the car, when suddenly, a police car suddenly sped towards them. The police siren was not on, and so, Jaden had not noticed that the car was coming over.

In just a few seconds, the car finally managed to stop. The door opened, and a female police officer stepped out of the car. This lady was familiar to both Jaden and Scarlet, considering that they had met with her before, when dealing with gangsters that were targeting Christine\'s cosmetics company.

Jaden\'s expression shifted a little upon seeing the police. It was clear that with the police here, and Lucas screaming on the ground, it was going to be a little difficult for him to be able to leave this place.

Still, he was not planning to entertain the police. Instead, he had to get to the location that had been sent to him as soon as possible, to ensure that the old man was safe.

The old man had gotten into trouble several times because of him. Jaden was quite clear that if it was not for him, the old man would not have been sent to the hospital, and neither would he have been kidnapped.

Angela who had just arrived looked at Jaden and Scarlet, before shifting her gaze and looked at Lucas who was screaming on the ground. Her expression shifted the moment that she saw the bloody scene, where Lucas\'s right leg had been broken.

Angela was not sure on how to react, considering that she was not used to such a bloody scene. This could be said to be the first time that she was encountering something like this, despite being a police officer for about a year.

It is not true to say that she had not encountered a bloody scene, but still, none of them could match this one. Normally, it was just superficial wounds caused by gangsters, but now, this was a leg that had been broken, and bones could be seen protruding the skin.

Looking at Jaden and Scarlet who seemed to be leaving, without caring about the guy lying on the ground, she realized that perhaps they might be related to what had happened to this guy.

Even if they were not related, still, since they were here, they had to give a statement of the issue, considering that they were at the scene when she arrived.

"Hey you two! Stop right there. You are not allowed to leave right now. You have to explain to me what happened here!" Angela suddenly shouted towards Jaden and Scarlet.

Jaden turned and looked at the police officer. He looked at her silently, before he continued with his movements, and opened the door of the car. It was clear that he had no intention of cooperating with the police.

Angela was not pleased by the fact that she was ignored by Jaden. Scarlet on the other hand was not sure on what to do, as she simply looked at Jaden, and then looked at Angela.

Angela on the other hand took out her gun, and pointed it towards Jaden. She said, "Stop right there or I will shoot you to make sure that you don\'t leave this place."

To assure Jaden that she was serious about what she had said, she even removed the safety of the gun, and her finger was next to the trigger of the pistol that she was holding, indicating that she would pull the trigger in case Jaden did not listen.

"Jaden, let\'s just cooperate. We will deal with other things later on, after we are done with this." Scarlet suggested.
