Chapter 761 Who Wants to Take a Life?

The robbers panicked when they saw a man suddenly appear and fled

in all directions. Some men were subdued on the spot, while others

who were quick to act managed to escape.

Cody was curled up in pain on the ground, and Brayden rushed over to

him. "Dad, dad! Are you okay?" He helped Cody up and prepared to

take him to the hospital. "Dad, hold on."

Mrs. Wright and Jenna also ran over, with Mrs. Wright's eyes turning

red as she worriedly looked at Cody. "Cody... hurry up and get in the

car so we can take you to the hospital." The driver crawled over and

opened the door as The Wrights frantically paced around.

Just then, one of the men who had been among those robbers walked

over - he was Captain Arjun of Presidential Guardians team who

happened upon this scene by chance when Secretary Cody was

attacked/

He said. "I'm Captain Arjun from Presidential Guardians team; I just

happened upon this scene by chance when Secretary Cody was

attacked; now we'll escort him immediately to the hospital.”

“Thank you, Arjun," Brayden nodded gratefully before quickly saying,

“Thank you for helping us out.”

"Don't mention it," Arjun replied before directing his subordinates

together with them into a car that had just arrived.

The police arrived soon after that; Arjun handed over several captured

robbers before getting back into his own car again.

Cody had passed out from being beaten so badly that he no longer

resembled himself due to swelling all around his face along with blood

continuously flowing from his mouth corners.

Brayden felt anxious as familiar darkness crept back into view for an

instant but quickly regained composure once more - there was

something not right about what just happened though... Why did this

happen even after having surgery? And why did it happen so long after

being hit by a stone last time? What was going on? But he didn't have

time for these thoughts now. Saving Cody is his top priority.

Franklin and Sylvia had arrived at Larro airport, readying themselves

for boarding their flight home within half an hour.

Franklin checked their plane tickets and spoke solemnly, "We have half

an hour until boarding."

Sylvia hadn't responded yet when Franklin's phone rang. It showed

Brayden calling.

He answered immediately, "Brayden, what's wrong?"

"What? We'll be there right away."

After hanging up, Sylvia looked at Franklin curiously, asking, "What's

going on?"

"Wright has been attacked; they're trying to save him at a nearby

hospital,” Franklin replied urgently.

“Let's go!" They immediately left for the hospital without delay.

Half an hour later, Sylvia, Franklin, and Jasper appeared outside the

emergency room.

"How is the situation now?" Sylvia looked at Mrs. Wright, who had red

eyes from crying.

“I don't know. After they took him in, the doctor didn't come out again,”

Mrs. Wright replied with a heavy heart and worry.

"Find out who was behind this," Franklin ordered Jasper directly. "It's

outrageous to attack someone in broad daylight like this."

“The police caught some of them, but a few got away,” Brayden sighed.

"I don't know if they'll be able to get any information out of them.”

In the operating room, doctors were working hard to save Cody's life.

"The patient is bleeding from his abdomen. Keep his airway clear and

remove any foreign objects from his mouth and airway."

"Administer oxygen immediately to restore cellular oxygen supply as

quickly as possible.”

"Hurry!"

The nurses worked together with the doctors in an orderly manner

while performing their duties.

After about an hour passed by, the light finally came on in the

emergency room, and a doctor walked out of it.

As soon as she heard the door open, Mrs. Wright and Brayden rushed

over, immediately asking, "Doctor! How is he?"

The doctor wiped sweat off her forehead before replying, "Mr. Wright is

fine; he just needs some rest for a while longer. Fortunately, no bones

were broken, otherwise it would have taken much longer for him to

recover.”

"That's good news!" Mrs. Wright said gratefully.

“Thank you so much Doctor,” Brayden thanked her before turning

towards Franklin and Sylvia, saying, "We really appreciate you both

coming back here especially after what happened earlier today.”

“It was only natural that we came back when Wright was involved in

something like this," Franklin patted Brayden on his shoulder before

continuing, "Since Wright's condition has stabilized, let's go visit the

police station first."

At the entrance of police station, the director almost arrived at same

time as Franklin, Sylvia, and Jasper.

As soon as they got off their car, they saw three people walking into

police station.

Quickly catching up with them, the director greeted them, "Mr.

Maskelyne, Miss Andrews. Mr. Howlett."

Franklin hesitated slightly looking towards the director.

"Director Mays, there were several people attacking Secretary Cody.

Has their backgrounds been investigated yet?"

Who didn't know that Franklin had close ties with newly appointed

Secretary Cody?

Director Mays quickly replied, "We are interrogating those robbers right

now. They are really bold enough to do such things without even caring

about their own lives."

Although Director Mays had also interacted with several big families in

Urgford, but he hadn't met anyone from top-tier families yet .

Someone like Franklin, who was the head of MI6, was not someone he

could mess with.

Franklin didn't know why Director Mays was staring at him so intently.

Just when he was getting impatient, Director Mays quickly said, "Let's

go. I'll take you to meet those robbers. It's outrageous to dare hit

Secretary Cody!"

"Please lead the way, Director Mays."

In the interrogation room, two police officers were sitting behind an

interrogation table staring at several men in black clothes without any

solution in sight.

"Why did you kidnap Secretary Cody? What did Secretary Cody do to

provoke you?"

None of them answered him and they remained silent as if they were

actually in charge of this interrogation room.

Their behavior indicated that they had undergone professional training

and were not ordinary thugs or gangsters.

"Why did you carry guns? Where did you get them?"

"We're asking you questions!”

"Why are you carrying guns? Where did they come from?"

They completely refused to cooperate with questioning and made up

their minds not to say anything which infuriated these two police

officers beyond measure!

Unable to contain themselves any longer, one officer slammed his hand

on the table and shouted loudly, "You have already been arrested by

us! The evidence proves that it was YOU who kidnapped Secretary

Cody! You beat up Secretary Cody! Do you think keeping quiet will

make everything disappear?"

“I'm telling you now. If you confess honestly we can deal with your case

more leniently but if YOU don't confess honestly..."

"Officer," one man sitting in front sneered contemptuously while tilting

his chin upwards provocatively towards them, "We just wanted some

money; nothing else."

"So... Don't say we intentionally killed anyone."

"You carried guns! There are still bullet marks on site.”

The police officers were so angry that they wanted nothing more than

slap him across his face a few times. "Who instructed you guys for

assassinating Secretary Cody? What kind of deep-seated grudge does

Secretary Cody have against you guys?"

Offcials were very concerned about this case and demanded a

thorough investigation, but these people were tight-lipped and refused

to tell the truth. They seemed to have no fear at all. The two of them

had been questioning for a long time, but couldn't get any answers out

of them. No matter what they asked, they acted as if they hadn't heard

anything.

Suddenly, the door of the interrogation room opened and the police

turned around to see Director Mays walking in with two young men.

The man leading them had a strong presence and handsome features

that made it hard to look away from him. He exuded an air of

dominance that made people feel subservient to him. There was also a

young man beside him who looked very proper but appeared very

respectful in front of this man.

The two policemen stood up respectfully when they saw Director Mays

and said, "Director Mays."

Director Mays glanced at them before turning his attention back to the

robbers and asking, "How's the interrogation going? Have they

confessed?"

The two policemen looked ashamed as they replied, "No, they're not

saying anything."

Director Mays frowned slightly in frustration and said sternly,"Find a

way! There are always more solutions than difficulties! Find a way to

make them talk!"

"How can we proceed without their cooperation?”

"Do you know who got hurt? It's Secretary Cody! If you don't solve this

case properly I'll make sure you pay for it later!"

In front of Franklin's face Director May could only scold his own useless

subordinates.

There was nothing else he could do!

He couldn't let Franklin be scolded instead!

Just then Franklin stepped forward past everyone else into one chair

which he pulled out elegantly before sitting down on it with both legs

crossed gracefully over each other.

He narrowed his eyes slightly as he spoke coldly,"l'll interrogate them."

"Mr. Maskelyne... you..."

Director May jumped in surprise,"Can you do that?"

You're not part of our police department!

Hey!

The two policemen were also shocked especially since they didn't even

know who Franklin was so there's no way that changing places would

change anything.

Franklin didn't say anything more; instead he casually tapped his palm

on top of table while staring coldly at several black-clothed men sitting

across from him.

"Organized? Purposeful?"

“The people in Urgford wanting Secretary position inlcude the Ritters

and the Hayes. Are you sent by the Ritter or Hayes?"

His voice was icy, piercing the black-clad man across from him like an

ice pick.

He went straight for the jugular.

Even though the men in front of him had seen their fair share of the

world, Franklin's terrifying gaze made them shiver.

But they knew better than to break protocol.

They had made up their minds to say nothing at all. “Jasper.”

Franklin didn't seem interested in hearing what they had to say either.

He lazily called out to Jasper behind him.

"Master Franklin, you speak.”

Jasper hurriedly walked up to him.

"Break all their arms for me."

Franklin's voice was cold and indifferent, as if breaking someone's arm

was as simple as eating or drinking water.

"Yes." Jasper also seemed very accustomed to this kind of thing and

walked over towards those black-clad men.

"Ah!"

A mournful scream rang out followed by several more screams in quick

succession.
