Chapter 981 - 944: Delivery (Part 3)_2
"I don’t know either," Sabrina Conner replied.
"Should we go and join the commotion?"
"Sixth Master asked us to keep a low profile in Sileria City, right? If we go, with my looks and charisma, I’m bound to attract media attention. Once it’s reported, won’t I be exposed?" Sabrina said narcissistically.
"..."
"Mila, where are you going?"
"Taking a nap."
"Wait, let’s nap together!"
...
Inside the police car, Director Linden and Regan Carter were intensely debating. Director Linden advocated for direct elimination, while Regan Carter preferred a peaceful resolution.
"How do you plan to resolve it? That criminal insists on a heart transplant for his son. The heart originally meant for his son has already been transplanted into Director Linden’s grandson. Are we expected to dig it out?"
"..."
"I’m telling you, that old man is no small matter. If we were to dig the heart out of his grandson’s body, neither of us would survive in law enforcement."
"Why did that person want to steal someone else’s heart? Given his skills, searching both domestically and abroad, he would definitely find a suitable heart," Regan Carter said, headache growing.
"Forget it; discussing this now is pointless. Let’s focus on how to resolve this."
"The criminal is very cunning. Your plan to eliminate him through a sniper is simply impossible.
I saw when I was negotiating with Horace Marshall earlier that he kept away from the windows, standing against the walls, so the sniper couldn’t find an angle to eliminate him.
He’s got explosives strapped to him and holds a gun in his hand, clearly ready for a death-defying act."
"..."
"There are so many media outlets outside, even those from other places are here. If the criminal becomes desperate and opts for mutual destruction, Director Linden’s promotion will surely go up in smoke."
"So what do you suggest?" Director Linden scratched his head and said.
"Contact the medical system to see if they can find another heart for that child!"
Director Linden spread his hands, looking helpless, "Do you think I’m President Omarba of Westoria? The medical system and ours are unrelated. I command them to rearrange a heart for the child, and they just do it?"
"..."
Director Linden waved his hand, saying, "That won’t work."
Director Linden’s phone rang, causing his heart to tremble. Right now, he dreaded hearing the phone ring, knowing he couldn’t afford to offend whoever was calling.
Director Linden said to Regan Carter, "Look, another ominous call. I wonder which powerful figure it is this time."
"Director, my condolences."
"Ugh..."
Director Linden glanced at the caller ID; it was an unknown number. But he knew, at this moment, anyone calling him couldn’t be merely for a casual chat; it could be a relative of someone inside.
Quickly, Director Linden answered, "Hello, this is Mario Jones. May I know who’s calling?"
"Theo Briggs!"
Upon hearing the name, Director Linden immediately replied flatteringly, "Hello, Grandpa Briggs, good afternoon. What instructions might you have for me?"
None of the hostages inside had any connection to Grandpa Briggs. Why was Grandpa Briggs calling? Could it be that he’s just bored at home and wanted to gossip?
Theo Briggs wasn’t the type to indulge in such whims.
"I heard there’s a criminal holding hostages at Matilda Hospital?" Grandpa Briggs inquired.
"Yes, we’re actively handling it, and it will be resolved soon."
"My granddaughter is among them."
Mario Jones: ...
"I don’t care what methods you use; you must ensure my granddaughter and her unborn child remain safe. If anything happens to my granddaughter, I, Theo Briggs, absolutely have the power to take you down!" Grandpa Briggs threatened.
"Grandpa Briggs, isn’t your granddaughter Sienna Johnson, the President of Eastminster Group?" Mario Jones asked.
"Yes, Sienna Johnson!"
The cold sweat on Director Linden’s forehead instantly poured down; he knew that the people visiting Matilda Hospital for treatment were either wealthy or noble, but he didn’t expect to encounter two such formidable figures.
Who exactly is Theo Briggs?
Although Theo Briggs wasn’t a resident of Sileria City, the Briggs Family was full of distinguished individuals. His immediate superior was the father of Theo Briggs’ second daughter-in-law.
Had he known in advance, he should’ve taken his annual leave and avoided this headache. Unfortunate days, truly unfortunate days.
He no longer hoped for a promotion; he’d just be thankful if he could keep his current position.
Director Linden covered the phone’s mouthpiece and asked Regan Carter, "Are there only two pregnant women inside? Is there anyone named Sienna Johnson, the President of Eastminster Group? You’ve seen her at the business conference in Sileria City this year."
"No!"
"Are you sure?"
Regan Carter confidently replied, "The President looks like that; I doubt any man who has glanced at her would fail to notice."
Sienna Johnson’s beauty is unrivaled in Sileria City.
Mario Jones said to Grandpa Briggs, "Grandpa Briggs, are you sure President Johnson is inside? Our negotiation expert went in and didn’t see President Johnson. Could there be a mistake?"
Suddenly, a voice burst out crying on the other end, startling Mario Jones.
"Old man, have they executed her? My poor Sienna, her life has been hard since childhood. After finally overcoming hardships, she encounters something like this again...
Wah, wah... If something happens to Sienna, what will happen to Pauline?"
"Are you calling your daughter to confirm if Sienna had finished her checkup and mentioned leaving?"
"Called, Adrian forgot his phone, and Sienna’s phone is unreachable... Wah, wah... How could this happen?"
Theo Briggs vented his anger at Mario Jones, "Mario Jones, handle this!"
With a clang, the phone was hung up. Despite having air conditioning in the police car, Mario Jones’ back was drenched.
"What is going on here?"
Regan Carter asked, "Director, what should we do now?"
"Call the Director of Health Department and ask them to find a suitable heart and have surgery for the child immediately!"
