Abigail had been anxiously waiting at home for a long time when a news report suddenly appeared on the television.
There had been a shootout at the airport, resulting in multiple casualties, including police officers who were mistakenly shot and over a dozen criminals who were executed.
Abigail's hands trembled with nervousness. She wanted to call Sean and Kevin, but she didn't dare to, afraid of interrupting their business.
Just then, she received a call from Simond.
Abigail quickly pressed the answer button and took a deep breath. "Mr. Simpson..."
"D*mn it, those people are cunning. They deliberately lured the state police here, and our people were all killed by the state police!" Simond growled furiously.
Abigail didn't know whether to blame herself or feel guilty for it.
"I'm sorry..." she whispered.
"I implore you. Can you please let me know next time you meet Sean?" Filled with frustration, Simond was no longer as easy to talk to as before.
Abigail remained silent, taking the scolding.
"Over a dozen people, all dead!" Simond continued.
"I'm truly sorry." Abigail apologized again.
Simond took a deep breath. He spoke in a deep voice, "These people followed me through life and death. Just now, in an instant, they were all killed. We have no way to seek justice for them because they were the ones who started it."
Abigail frowned, feeling a heavy heart. She tightly gripped her phone, not saying a word.
"You still want to ask me how Sean is, right? Who knows how he is? Even Kevin can't reach him. I mean, you two, can't you use your brains when you're in love? It's already late, and you still risk your lives to meet up?" Simond vented his biggest frustration so far.
"Say whatever you want to me. I'll accept it." Abigail couldn't argue back.
Simond took a deep breath and hung up the phone.
In the end, Abigail still sent a message to Sean.

Meanwhile, Sean and Kevin were hiding in a resident's house, but unfortunately, Sean was shot in the arm.
With a dagger between his teeth, Kevin bandaged his wound. He had just removed the bullet from Sean's arm, and the blood was still flowing.
"All of Simond's men are gone. He will definitely cause trouble for Abigail." Kevin mumbled to Sean, "You didn't make any preparations at all?"
"How could I not?" Sean's gaze was meaningful. "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cub?"
"You..." Kevin immediately caught onto his words.
Enduring the pain, Sean leaned against the wall and used his bloodied hand to take out a spare phone. He saw the message from Abigail, and a smile formed on his lips. "She messaged me."
