Chapter 174
More than a dozen doctors kept their heads low in silence.
Apart from those who were outside the villa, the lightly wounded bodyguards managed to scrape through with their lives.
The Lewises who were in the villa, however, had a large amount of toxins in their blood and were already suffering from severe poisoning on the way to the hospital.
Despite employing all sorts of resuscitation methods, they were unable to save their lives.
Governor Jade called for an emergency meeting using the hospital’s office.
Nash also attended this meeting.
Mr. Dean was the one reporting on the casualties of the Lewis family members.
“Hubert’s and Harrison’s families are all safe! Herman is in a coma from severe injuries, and it’s estimated he won’t survive until tomorrow morning!
“All other members of the Lewis family have died!
“29 of the Lewises’ hired bodyguards have also died!”
The faces of everyone in the meeting room were heavy.
Jade slammed the table in anger. “This is a premeditated vicious terrorist attack… We must bring these murderous devils to justice!”
Such a significant event happening under his jurisdiction had already severely affected his future.
If he did not handle this matter well, he would not be able to explain it to the entire Jonford and the Lewises.
Henderson nodded and said, “I’ll establish a special task force right away…”
Outside the meeting room, Angelica wanted to enter but was stopped by two patrollers.
“Angelica, the governor and chief are having a meeting!”
“I know, but I have important things to report…”
Angelica shook the sealed bag in her hand, which contained a metal tube as thick as a thumb. Her expression was dark.
“What is this?”
“This is a detonator I found at the site of the Lewis family’s estate…” Angelica explained without any expression. “Angelica… you take that thing away now… The governor is in the meeting room. What if this thing explodes?”
The two almost wet their pants. If she were not a fellow co-worker, they might have already taken action.
Angelica frowned. “This is a dud…”
One of the patrollers reprimanded seriously, “Even a dud is not acceptable… Go away, or don’t blame us for what we’ll do next!”
“Fine, I’ll wait for the chief outside!”
Angelica reluctantly turned around.
The two patrollers breathed a sigh of relief.
However, just as they let their guard down, Angelica suddenly made a quick turn and, in a few steps, crossed their defense line.
Before the two had time to react, Angelica had already barged into the meeting room.
“Angelica…”
“This is outrageous!”
