The whole place was filled with the sound of a bullet going through glass. The bullet seemed to go straight to the back of Karlâs head, and would subsequently go through his brain and kill him on the spot.
When that happened, it would take all grievances to the ground and forever become a secret.
However, in that split second, Nora suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Karlâs suit, and yanked him to the side!!!
The bullet passed the side of his head by a hairâs breadth, grazing him!!!!
Everyoneâs jaw dropped.
Even Karl himself didnât seem to expect something like that to happen, so he looked stunned. Seeing that Morris and the others were about to approach, Nora tugged on the manâs sleeve and pointed the gun at his waist again. Then, she raised her hands and yelled, âDonât move!â
Morris and the others stopped dead in their tracks again.
At that instant, Karl had already recovered.
He, who had witnessed all kinds of situations and had lived through countless life-and-death situations, had only become nervous now because it was his daughterâs wedding. However, he quickly recovered and held Nora at gunpoint again. In fact, as he was looking for the sniper so he could get out of the line of fire, Nora stepped forward and got between him and the sniper!
The cold, stiff voice rang again in the earpiece. He cursed angrily, âWhatâs the hostage doing?â.
Someone whispered a reminder, âSheâs not a hostage. Sheâs Nora, a medical examiner from the special department.â
The stern voice immediately became more anxious. âThen she must be wearing our headphones, right? Nora, can you hear me?â Noraâs expression did not change and she remained motionless.
The cold voice spoke again. âFind a way to move a little. Then you can get out of the line of fire.â
Nora remained motionless.
âDamn it!â
The cold, hard voice sounded a little anxious. âWhat kind of medical examiner is she, has she had specialized training in the system before or not?â
âSheâs an externally contracted forensic doctor!â
The cold voice was exasperated. âAs expected, outside hires are not good! Sniper, take aim. For the sake of everyone here, you need to act decisively!â
The moment the voice said that, a low but clear voice was suddenly heard. âCaptain Johnson, thatâs not very appropriate, is it?â
The voice took Nora by surprise for a moment. She turned her head and looked up unconsciously, only to see that Justin had approached an undercover officer at some point, had taken off his Bluetooth headset and was communicating with the officers.
He spoke very aggressively. âThe hostage is my fiancée. If you disregard the safety of my fiancée and insist on using such risky means to bring down the criminal, I will definitely pursue the matter!â
His words were loud and powerful; at the very least, they made the cold, stern voice choke. A moment later, he said, âMr. Hunt, we are executing a mission. Please understand. The man holding your fiancée hostage is an internationally wanted assassin. He is very dangerous.â
Justin remained stern and aggressive. âCaptain Johnson, you donât need to explain so much to me, I donât understand anyway. All I know is that my fiancéeâs life is currently in your hands.â
Johnson was silent for a while. Finally, however, he relented. He ordered, âSniper, stand down.â
âYes, sir!â
Nora could clearly sense that the sniperâs danger had disappeared. Obviously, the sniper had put away his weapon. Only then Nora whispered to Karl, âUncle Karl, hurry as fast as you can.â
The sniper rifle from a moment ago had already put Karl on alert.
Whenever he found himself in such dangerous situations, he was usually surrounded and protected by a few high-ranking assassins.
Although they were not present at that moment, the girlâs calm and unassuming appearance gave him an inexplicable sense of security.
It was as if⦠Black Cat was by her side.
As soon as the thought formed in Karlâs mind, he immediately shook his head. Then, he held Tanya and continued walking forward step by step until he could hand her over to Joel.
Behind Tanya were Pete and Mia holding the tail of her dress for her. Pete was wearing a suit and Mia was wearing a white dress. Neither of them were affected by what had just happened. Cherry was sitting next to Ian in the guest seats. She was holding her phone in her hand and pouting as she complained, âSob, how come they wonât let Cherry be a flower girl? Theyâre mean.â
Ian patted her on the head and said, âItâs okay, itâs okay. Grandpa will have a wedding and let our little Cherry do it next time.â
Cherryâs eyes immediately lit up and she lifted her head. âReally, Grandpa?â
Ian nodded.
Cherry tilted her head to the side and asked, âBut I want to do it as soon as possible~ Can you have a wedding soon, whoâs getting married?â
As soon as she said that, Louis, who was also sitting there, suddenly felt shivers all over his body.
Then, he saw Ian slowly turn his head to look at him.
Louis hurriedly waved and said, âUncle Ian, I donât even have a girlfriend. Iâ¦â
Before he could finish, Ian said, âIf you get married, Iâll give you $50 million.â
Louis stopped instantly.
Although he had tricked Trueman into giving him money last time, he simply had too big a âfamilyâ. Since he had made some money, he had adopted another bunch of stray cats and dogs, which made his expenses go way up as well.
50 million dollarsâ¦
Louis immediately said, âUncle Ian, my girlfriend and I have been hiding our relationship! Weâve been wanting to get married for a long time, when do you think would be a suitable time to have the wedding?â
Nora was unaware of what was going on in the audience.
At that moment, she saw that Karl had already taken Tanya to Joel.
At the holy and pure wedding, Tanya was wearing a wedding dress while Joel was wearing a black tuxedo.
Karl reached out and placed Tanyaâs hand in Joelâs hand.
He patted Joelâs shoulder and said slowly, âTake care of my daughter, young man. If you dare to defraud her, bully her or find a mistress, I will send Black Cat to take your head off.â
Joel was not bothered by the threat in her words. He merely straightened his back and looked at him as he said, âDonât worry, Dad.â
Karl nodded.
He took a step back and held up his hands. At that moment, Morris was the first to approach the two of them. He pinned his arms behind his back, pulled out the handcuffs and cuffed him.
Tanya, who had heard the commotion, wanted to look behind her.
But Karl shouted at her, âDonât look back. You must always look forward in life. Tanya, be happy.â
Tanyaâs eyes turned red.
She choked back her sobs and nodded vigorously.
Tanya and Joel walked up the platform step by step. When she turned to look at her father, she saw only his back as they carried him away.

In the special department.
Karl was taken once again. Nora did not stay at the wedding, but followed them.
She checked that Karl had entered this time very naturally, as if he was going home. His relaxed expression caused Nora and Morris to look at each other with puzzled expressions.
Nora still sensed that something was wrong.
It was logical for Karl to know that another charge would be added to his crimes, now that he had been arrested again. Shouldnât he be sad about it? So why did he seem so relaxed?
After the group led him into the interrogation room, he looked at Morris and Nora. âI wanted to take some things to my grave, but I donât want to hide it anymore. I donât want my daughter to have to carry the burden of being called the daughter of a murderer. Do you know how I escaped?â
