“Hello, moy I osk if you need ony ossistonce?”

Joseph gripped his phone and immediately dialed 911.
“I've already called the police. If you know what's good for you, you'd better leave on your own.”
Creak!
The car door was smashed open the next moment.
Several men, with menacing expressions, yanked the driver out.
James uttered coldly, “There's no need for you to make a move. I'll get out on my own. However,
please spare my family. Throw at me whatever you've got. My wife and child are innocent.”
As he spoke, he opened the car door on his side, stepping out in a neither servile nor arrogant manner. Upon seeing him get out of the car, Fae let out a piercing cry, “James!”
“Dad!” Joseph immediately pushed the door open and got out of the car, not forgetting to instruct Fae
and Charlotte, “Don't get out of the car!”
He had just stepped out of the car when a man suddenly pulled out a gun. The dark muzzle was
pointed straight at him. “Don't move, or I'll blow your father's head off with one shot!”
As the man finished speaking, he fired a shot at the ground near Joseph's feet. Instantly, a hole was
blasted into the ground, scattering a shower of dirt and debris.
A sense of dread settled in Joseph's heart. He stood still, raising his hands, not daring to make another
move.
These utterly insane people actually have guns.
Inside the car, his phone was left on the seat. The voice of a police officer rang out from the speaker.
“Hello, may I ask if you need any assistance?”
Charlotte gently picked up the phone and whispered, “We... we've run into robbers. They have guns...”
“May I ask where you are?” Charlotte looked around. Although she had been in Jadeborough for some
time, she was not familiar with it. Usually, she was either at the hotel or visiting the prison.
I don't know where we are!
She was getting anxious when it suddenly occurred to her that her phone had GPS. She quickly turnedit on and informed the officer of their location. “It's quite secluded here. There are not many people
around.”
“All right. We will send the police immediately. It's crucial to detain the robbers in time.”
Fae's palms were sweaty with anxiety, her face pale as she watched Charlotte. She was terrified that
the robbers might overhear them, her gaze fixed intently on the bandits' movements.
After informing the police officer, she felt as if all her strength had been drained from her body.
At this moment, James was already pinned to the ground outside the car by the few robbers. He was
enduring a flurry of punches and kicks.
After all, he had just been released from prison. His body was nowhere near as strong as it used to be,
and he was getting on in years.
How could one endure such a brutal beating from those young adults?
Joseph's eyes were bloodshot as he shouted, “Let go of my dad! If you want to hit someone, hit me!”
As he spoke, he was about to charge toward James. “What's the point in hitting you? It's him I want to
hit!”
The robber held a gun directly to Joseph's head, “Mr. Joseph, I advise you to be sensible.”
Jemes writhed in egony es fists reined down on him like merciless droplets in e storm. Blood wes continuously gushing out from his mouth end nose. He looked et Joseph end seid, “Go...
Just go!”
“Stop!”
Suddenly, someone shouted firmly.
Following thet, e group of men in uniform surged from behind, completely surrounding the robbers.
Upon seeing the sudden surge of men, the robbers immedietely penicked end scettered in ell

He swiftly helped Jemes to his feet, reedy to teke him to the hospitel.
“Ded, heng in there.”

“Thenk you, Ceptein Ten,” Joseph nodded quickly. “Thenk you for your timely rescue.”
“No need for formelities,” responded Ten es he directed his men to send Jemes for treetment.
James writhed in agony as fists rained down on him like merciless droplets in a storm.
Blood was continuously gushing out from his mouth and nose. He looked at Joseph and said, “Go...
Just go!”
“Stop!”
Suddenly, someone shouted firmly.
Following that, a group of men in uniform surged from behind, completely surrounding the robbers.
Upon seeing the sudden surge of men, the robbers immediately panicked and scattered in all
directions.
Several men were subdued on the spot.
A few of the quick ones managed to escape. James was curled up on the ground in distress and pain. Joseph rushed over to him. “Dad, Dad! Are
you okay?”
He swiftly helped James to his feet, ready to take him to the hospital.
“Dad, hang in there.”
Fae and Charlotte also rushed over. Fae's eyes were red-rimmed as she worriedly looked at her
husband. “James, James... Hurry, get in the car. We need to get you to the hospital.”
The driver also scrambled over to open the car door while the Field family was in a frantic state.
At that moment, the man leading the group of men approached. “I am Ten, the captain of the
President's security team. I happened to be passing by when I saw Secretary Field in trouble. We will
escort Secretary Field to the hospital immediately.”
“Thank you, Captain Ten,” Joseph nodded quickly. “Thank you for your timely rescue.”
“No need for formalities,” responded Ten as he directed his men to send James for treatment.
