Chapter 1703 Rescue
Whalen family in the Capital City.
“Sir, someone from the government is at the door.”
Rayan was watching over his two grandchildren when a servant came to tell him about their guests. Rayan raised his head and inquired, “Someone from the government is here?”
“Yes, and they’re from the military.”
The servant was also perplexed. This was the first time that the military would come to their doorstep.
“What did they say?”
“They said they wanted to see you.”
Rayan flicked a glance at the two children and then looked at his beloved wife. “Take the children upstairs and don’t let them come down.”
“What about you? What’s going on? Is it because when you were outside, you…”
Hannah got a little worried when she heard that it was the military.
“Go, don’t let the children out.” Rayan reiterated. He was not worried about himself, but he was worried about the two children.
In this world, no one could predict what would happen.
Money was just a worldly possession, but children were their life’s legacy.
Rayan could give up everything around him, but his family was definitely not one of them.
The two children were just as kind as he was, with a good head on their shoulders.
No one was allowed to hurt a single hair on their heads.
What were these people doing here at this time?
The city was in chaos now. What did it have to do with Rayan?
Hannah turned around and brought the two children upstairs with her. She looked back at her husband and said softly, “Please be careful.”
“Go.”
Rayan waited until his wife and two grandsons were upstairs before he stood up and headed towards the outer area of the villa.
He saw a man outside the doorway with a military vehicle behind him. Another man stood by that vehicle with both hands behind his back, dressed in black armed forces gear and sunglasses on his face.
Rayan paused in his steps when he noted their figures, ‘Special forces?’ he thought in bewilderment.
When Rayan arrived at the door, he asked straight away, “Who are you? Why are you here?”
“This is our identification card. We have something to discuss with you.”
The person at the door took out a signed document and handed it over to Rayan. Rayan parsed through it and asked, “What business do you have with me?”
“We are going to infiltrate the Moore family. We want a blueprint of their residence, which I believe you could help us with. We also need the layout of their surrounding area as well as the infrastructure’s distribution maps.”
Rayan was very smart and as he listened to the demands made by the person who had stood by the vehicle, he had already thought of something. “What you need is not only these, but other items too. I, Rayan Whalen, promise to help you. You don’t need to test me. Just say it, what do you want me to do?”
The person in front of him took out a photo and showed it to Rayan. He lowered his head for a brief moment, then queried, “This is the Moore family’s child?”
“To be exact, it’s Colston Moore’s child.”
This was answered by the other individual, while the individual in front of Rayan remained silent.
“Are you looking for this child?” Rayan probed.
“We need two hours to find them, and what we just mentioned must also be found. It’s not a joke.”
“I see. Then I’ll ask someone to prepare those items for you. Please, come in.”
Rayan ordered for the doors to be opened and invited the military personnel in. However, the people outside had no intention of entering.
The man outside the door declined, “We won’t enter. We’ll wait outside.”
“In that case, I’ll prepare them right away. Give me a moment.”
Rayan turned and went back inside to make some arrangements. Soon, Rayan had the blueprints and photos delivered plus an address was given to these people.
…
It didn’t take long for the Moore Family residence to be surrounded. However, they didn’t stop the family members as they returned. At this time, any and all members of the family didn’t want to go back and those that were able to leave were not allowed to return.
It was impossible at this point in time, however, to think of returning.
In another location in the city, a helicopter landed on a high-rise building, where several people were waiting.
Several special forces agents with guns in their hands quickly got off the helicopter and ran downstairs. It didn’t take long for everyone to take their own positions.
At that time, one person stepped down from the helicopter.
Lenold followed along in his wake.
Austin strode over towards the front part of the roof. When he stopped, Lenold handed a pair of high-powered binoculars to Austin.
Austin looked through it and said, “Prepare to attack by force. After the child is safely rescued, kill them all.”
“Understood.”
…
The sky started to drizzle. Lenold stood upright beside Austin, unmoved by the rain and wind that attacked them. However, they stood as still and sturdy as large boulders, where neither men had budged from their positions.
After the snipers were ready, Lenold received the report. He disclosed to Austin, “Preparations are in order. The child is sleeping. It’s confirmed that there are six people.”
“Then let’s begin.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
As soon as Austin gave the word, the troops in the surrounding area began to take action. The snipers shot each person with one shot and they died on the spot.
The door to the detention room was kicked open, and an agent immediately wrapped Essie up in a special bulletproof vest. With the child in their arms, they turned around and left as quickly as they came.
The whole operation lasted for an hour. After an hour was up, Austin turned back to the helicopter and flew straight to the Moore Family residence. Soon after they landed, he gave the signal to storm the place.
The troops swiftly raided the residence. Flynt, who was inside and unaware of what was going one, was scared witless when an army of agents suddenly swarmed in.
“Who are you?” Flynt’s face turned pale. There were so many people, and all of them were from the special forces. What was going on?
Austin wore a pair of sunglasses, hence his face couldn’t clearly be seen, and took out an arrest warrant for Flynt.
With no questions asked, he was apprehended just like that.
“Why are you arresting me? Why?” Flynt shouted out and in his panic, disregarded everything else.
Austin only spared him a brief look before he turned on his heel and walked out. The rest of the Moore family were also given a terrible scare, but it was a good thing that no one else was apprehended.
Jepherson had returned to Capital City and was about to find Flynt when he received a call from Zorion. He told him that Flynt had got into hot water and had already been taken away by the Interpol.
Jepherson put down his phone and stared out of the car window. He narrowed his eyes and tilted his head to the side.
The driver looked at Jepherson. “Are we still going back, Mr. Richards?”
“No, we’re not. Let’s go.”
…
When Raeleigh saw the mute, he was at the entrance with a letter in hand. Raeleigh asked in confusion, “Didn’t you go to see your brother? He didn’t come with you?”
He shook his head and handed the letter to Raeleigh. She gave it a look, “You went to retrieve a letter?”
He did not answer. Then Raeleigh asked again, “Do you know how to read it? Do you want me to have a look?”
He still did not answer her, thus she did not help him in this regard.
Later that evening, a military vehicle arrived outside of the village. The person in the car got out with a child in their arms. Raeleigh received a call and came over with Colston and Louisa. At the sight of their child, it was as if a heavy weight had been lifted.
Louisa immediately took the child into her embrace and crouched to the ground as she cried out her relief.
Raeleigh looked towards Lenold who turned back to get back into the vehicle.
The person inside the aforementioned vehicle took a glance outside and gave the order to leave.
