It was at that exact moment, the bodyguards knew the girl was just an object for the enemy to pinpoint

their location. They held up their shields right away and stood around Elijah and Ren. They could hear

bullets flying through the air from all directions.

Elijah wiped the blood off his face and took the child away forcibly. Ren wobbled a little, and he held

Elijah’s shoulder. I’m fine.” He was breathing heavily. “Reinforcements are on their way, but it’ll take

them ten minutes.”

The fog was then blown away. They could hear the roar of a helicopter above them. The assassination

ended in failure, but the killers were long gone. The street was filled with shards of car parts. The car

was still burning even after almost fifteen minutes, but if someone was still in there, they would have

died of heat and suffocation.

This assassination must have been a plan long in the making. The fog and that girl were just tools for

the plan. A high-tech sensor had been stuck to the girl’s back. Her function was to tell the enemy where

Ren and his men were in the fog, then they would start firing.

They knew Ren would never stand by and watch a child die in front of him. He would save her, of

course, and that was the weakness they used against him.

The night was still going on, and Ren’s wound was still bleeding, drenching his suit in blood. Elijah and

the bodyguards took him to the hospital right away.

Ren was starting to get groggy on the way. The blood loss was robbing his consciousness. Right

before he blacked out, he told Elijah, “Do not tell Ruka about this.”

Elijah watched as he was taken into the operating room. He was still worried, and he called Scarlet.

“What? Ren was ambushed?” Scarlet and Walter rushed to the hospital right away.

Six of Ren’s trusted men had gathered outside the operating room. They were all powerful officials and

Ren’s most powerful allies.

Richard opened his eyes the moment he heard his phone vibrate. He picked up his mother’s call, and

once he heard what happened, he got out of bed quietly and swiftly made his way to the hospital.

About two hours later, the doctors emerged from the operating room looking exhausted, but they smiled

at the people waiting outside. “The bullet was extracted. It didn’t hit his vitals, but he needs to rest.”

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Scarlet was almost crying a moment ago. Now, she buried her head

in her husband’s arms and shed tears of relief. Her heart felt like it would burst from her chest.

The ambush happened out of the blue. It was harrowing, so to speak. Elijah was told to work on the

investigation. Everyone involved would be interrogated as well.

Ren was pushed out of the operating room on a bed a while later. He just had dinner with us last night,

and now he looks so pale. I hope he wakes up soon. Scarlet cried again.

Scarlet didn’t even tell their parents about it. This was too much of a shock for people their age.

All she wanted was for Ren to wake up so she could tell everyone he was fine.

Richard went straight to the ward and saw his mother on the couch. She was wiping her tears away. He

approached the bed and looked at his uncle, then he turned around. ‘What did the doctor say?” he

asked his father.

“Fortunately, the bullet hit his back, not his vitals. However, he lost too much blood on the way, so he’s

out for the count at the moment.”

Richard clenched his fists. Someone attacked Uncle Ren? I’ll make them pay for this. He sat down

beside his mother and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. He assured, ‘Uncle Ren’s gonna be

okay.”

“You have to look into this, Richard. I don’t want any of us to get hurt. The election’s getting near, so his

enemies are trying to take him out. He ran into the same thing last time, but he was lucky and the

incident didn’t threaten his life.”
