Chapter 1752 You Heard Me Right

She glanced at Lucas, and was relieved to find that he hadn't awakened. She then quickly walked out
of the ward.

Penny's ward was guarded by soldiers from Nicole. Though they said it’s for their protection, Yasmeen
knew that Penny was under house arrest, for fear of her disturbing them.

Yasmeen felt that she was extremely lucky for having such a mother-in-law, but...

She looked at the text message on her phone, then looked in the direction of the ward. She quickly
walked out of the hospital afterward, and drove out as soon as she hopped in.

Lucas opened his eyes immediately after Yasmeen left.

He got up and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching Yasmeen's car speeding in the
street. His beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and confusion passed through his eyes.

Yasmeen is gone.

She left suddenly just like this, without a reason nor a word.

When Michele learned from the customs that Yasmeen returned to her homeland through customs that
night, she was furious.

She came to Lucas's ward with Edison.

With a book in his hand, Lucas read happily, as if there was no big deal about Yasmeen's leaving. But
Michele couldn't help but feel aggrieved for him.

“You don't know anything since you are staying here, right? Yasmeen has gone abroad an hour ago
and her location is unknown at the moment. You still care about her so much and keep saying that she



is your girlfriend. Now she ran away when you need her most. And you still love such a girlfriend?”

Lucas's hand stopped still in the air.

Going abroad?

She left in a hurry. Or maybe she left because there was something wrong with Steven Bradford?

Seeing Lucas was at a loss and not listening to Michele at all, Edison was also a little sad for him.

“Boss, I also think that the young boss was crossing the line this time.”

As soon as he finished his words, he heard Lucas say gently, “You will take the position of the group
leader. And don’t come here anymore if there’s no big deal in the future. And Michele, you have a
special identity, and I’ve been quarantined. It’s not good for us to stay together. Just leave.”

Lucas didn't lift his head and said the word with no fluctuation in his voice. But both Edison and Michele
were clearly aware that Lucas was angry.

“Boss, I'm not interested in the position of team leader. Everyone is waiting for you to come back. I am
sorry for what I’ve said just now. I shouldn't say that.”

Edison quickly apologized because he knew that Yasmeen was Lucas's bottom line, although he didn't
think so.

Michele couldn't control himself when he heard it.

“Why are you sorry for what you said? Mr. Lucas, you can't keep on accommodating and indulging
Yasmeen because she loves you. If my boyfriend is injured, I will never leave him alone.”

“Then I wish you can find your boyfriend as soon as possible.”



Lucas just got up and walked into the bathroom avoiding them.

Michele was stunned by Lucas's words and didn't come back to reality for a long time.

With a helpless sigh, Edison tugged Michele's arm gently and said, “Let's go, the boss is angry.”

“I just feel wronged for him?”

Michele suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Ever since Yasmeen became Lucas’s girlfriend, Lucas has been very fond of her and didn’t allow
anyone to discuss her. But was Yasmeen worth it?

Michele turned around angrily and ran out of the ward, but she also vowed to find the evidence and
reason why Yasmeen appeared on the scene secretly.

Such a woman with impure motives is not worthy of her dear bro Lucas!

Lucas didn't care whether the two outside the bathroom leave the ward or not. After entering the
bathroom, he shut the door and took out a mini laptop from his pocket. But when he turned the screen
on, a red dot was flickering faintly.

Yasmeen did not return homeland!

Her position was in international waters!

Lucas frowned tightly.

What is this girl doing in international waters?

Since Yasmeen appeared at the kidnapping scene, Lucas knew she was hiding something from him.



Yasmeen didn’t want to tell him, and he didn’t want to force her to tell him. But for Yasmeen’s safety,
Lucas set up a tracking system on Yasmeen’s phone. That’s the reason why he didn’t care at all when
Yasmeen hurried away. He was thinking it might be Steven Bradford. Now it seemed that Yasmeen was
busy doing something else.

He didn't know what’s more important than him in Yasmeen’s opinion. But since she left in such a hurry,
Lucas was somewhat uneasy.

Thinking of that Julian, he was even more disturbed.

Lucas packed up the laptop and went out of the bathroom. There was no one outside when he came
out.

Edison and Michele both left.

Thinking of what they had just said, Lucas was indeed angry. But they were all his beloved brothers,
and he didn't want to get mad at them.

He then went to the nurse's station and called Morty directly.

“I want to apply for an early retirement.”

When Lucas said this, Morty was shocked.

“What did you say?”

“You heard me right.”

Lucas said firmly, “I am now being quarantined and investigated for hostage injuries. No matter what
the result is, it will take a while. But during this time, I have something personal to deal with and need to
leave for a while. The group still needs someone else to run it. I suggest promoting Edison to the



position of team leader. He is perfectly competent. With Michele's cooperation, they can handle
everything without me.”

“Wait, what did you just say? You are leaving for a while? Where are you going? Lucas, don’t you know
exactly what quarantine is? Don't even think about going abroad, it’s impossible for you to get out of the
Capital City. What on earth are you thinking? “

Morty was a bit annoyed by Lucas's words.

This soldier has always been well-disciplined. This is the first time he made a request that didn’t make
sense at all. But Morty didn’t want to agree.

Lucas didn't seem to hear Morty's words, and continued, “Lucas can stay in the Capital City for
quarantine, but the Sharks need to go abroad, and he needs to leave immediately.”

Shark is the code name of Lucas.

Morty was taken aback for a moment. He heard that Lucas was bound to do this.

Even if he doesn't allow it, Lucas had millions of methods to get out of the quarantine, and he didn’t
seem to care about anything now.

Apply for early retirement?

Morty couldn't believe this application came from Lucas.

He knows Lucas’s love for the army more than anyone, but now he has to take the initiative to retreat.
He could tell that what he was about to do was likely to have nothing to do with the military area, and
may even harm the army. That’s why he made such arrangements in advance.

“Lucas, what on earth are you going to do? Can't you even tell me?”



“Sorry, Mr. Morty. I only have this one request. I hope you can fulfill me.”

Hearing what Lucas said, Morty refused directly.

“Fuck off! Want to retreat earlier? I won’t allow it unless I die! Lucas, I don’t even want to ask what you
are going to do, but you have to know your beliefs and bottom line. If the national interest is
endangered, even if you are my son, I will be tough and send you to the military court without
hesitation. You better remember this!”

Morty hung up after speaking, but Lucas knew he had agreed.

His charming eyes narrowed slightly, fumbling for a hairpin in his hand. He already had a plan in his
mind.
