Love Contract novel Chapter 392

After Lucas and Jazlyn drove off, Archer escorted Aisha back to his car.

"Archer, wait! I have a secret mission tonight!" Aisha pushed Archer away immediately.

"A mission? What mission?" Archer smiled at her and said, "I thought you were suspended? If you get caught by your boss, he'll get even angrier at you. You'd be better off going back with me. The other policemen will take care of the bad guys."

Afterwards, Archer dragged her to the car. Thankfully, Aisha didn't resist anymore, but when she turned her head, she saw two groups of people stumbling out of the bar. The first group was led by an Asian man, and the other was led by a Caucasian. Both groups went to the alley next to the bar.

"That's them!" Aisha was so agitated that she shouted at Archer in Mandarin. "Let go of me," she said.

"Don't you see how many of them there are? You're outnumbered. Don't go! Do you want to die?" Archer held her arm firmly and said, "I just got off the plane. I'm tired, and I'm not here to chase some criminals with you! You're coming with me whether you like it or not!"

"Did I even force you to be here? Let me go!" Aisha stared at the receding figures of the criminals behind the alley. "As a police officer, it's my sworn duty to arrest criminals. If you can't understand that, then you can leave now!" After she said that, Aisha shook off Archer and followed the gangsters into the alley.

Archer clenched his fists and kicked the air in anger. He felt powerless as he watched her run away. Was it because of their rapid development? He was making a fool of himself, running around and worrying about her. Meanwhile, she didn't even seem to care about their relationship!

"Bang!'¹

While he was lost in thought, he heard a gunshot coming from the alley. The alarms of every car in the area were triggered, and women and children started screaming.

"Damn it!" Archer cursed as he bolted for the alley.

The light in the alley was dim. Aisha was already engaged in a shootout against the two gangs. She used a fat man as a human shield, so the bullets couldn't get to her. Within a blink of the eye, Aisha took out her pistol and managed to kill a number of gangsters with pinpoint accuracy. Unfortunately, she was almost out of ammo after that.

The two gang leaders exchanged glances and quickly made an escape. They hid behind their bodyguards as they retreated. They were afraid that Aisha would call for backup.

"Freeze!" She yelled, running after the two leaders and avoiding the bullet storm.

Archer rushed into the alley. Aisha's situation had made him furious and agitated. He quickly grabbed his gun and covered her. He shouted, "Are you insane? Get back here!"

The sound of Archer's voice warmed Aisha's heart. She glanced at the group of gangsters running away, and decided to retreat. She realized that she had been too reckless tonight. She took a look at the end of the alley and saw that the Caucasian man and the Asian man were gone. She kicked down one more gangster, turned, and ran towards Archer.

Archer breathed a sigh of relief, but before he felt fully relieved, he noticed a figure with his eagle eyes. The man was pointing a gun at Aisha under the dim light.

"Watch out!" He stepped forward to grab Aisha and pulled her into his arms. Then, he turned and blocked the bullet with his bare back.

"Bang!"

The bullet pierced his skin and dug deep into his flesh. He closed his eyes and bellowed. After a second, he opened his eyes and turned his head. With a shocked expression written all over his face, the shooter in the distance said nothing.

Aisha was mortified by what happened. She had carefully observed the surroundings before making a turn. How could she miss one of them? Archer had been shot!

"Archer! My God, are you all right? Let me see your wound!" Aisha immediately held Archer, accidentally touching the warm blood coming from the bullet wound on his back. She was overcame with fear, worry, anger, and heartache. She was blaming herself for what happened.

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine!" Archer groaned with gritted teeth.

Police car sirens resounded from the distance, looming closer and closer towards the alley.
