Chapter 340 Incident (I)
After hanging up the call, Ning quickly discarded the kit and fixed her appearance. She could say by Roger's tone that something wasn't right.
The thought of something going wrong scared her. She wasn't alone anymore, she had to be very careful.
"Ning—" Roger called her out while entering the ladies room.
"Roger, this is a ladies room—" she frowned.
Without saying anything, he grabbed her hand and walked out.
….
"What is going on?" Ning anxiously asked.
"We have to get out of here as quickly as possible."
"Why? What happened?"
Before Roger could explain the situation, he received a call from Yichan. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
He showed her the caller ID before receiving the call. "You see this? This is the tenth time he has called in the last ten minutes. If I don't drop you to your place safely, your husband is going to kill me."
"I found her." Giving Ning the phone, Roger said, "Talk to him."
Without wasting a second, she quickly took the phone. "Yi—"
"Why is your number not reachable? I tried calling you so many times." Without giving her a chance to explain anything, Yichan instructed, "Now listen to me very carefully Ning, I want you to go with Roger and no matter what happens don't leave his side. Did you understand?"
"What is going on?"
"I will tell you everything later but for now it's important you go home safely. And don't panic okay? I'll be home as soon as possible."
Taking the phone from her hand, Roger shoved it in his pocket. He then grabbed her hand and started walking towards the emergency exit.

[Parking lot]
"Will you tell me what is going on?" Ning snapped. She had asked him the same question several times but he refused to answer it.
"There are people following us—" he briefly explained before opening the car for her. "I will tell you the rest on the way, okay?"
Without questioning him any further, Ning quietly sat inside the car. The initial mild anxiousness she was feeling suddenly intensified.
Placing her hand on her stomach, she pursed her lips. She wasn't alone anymore, there was a little life growing inside her. She had to protect it no matter what happened.
"Hey don't worry, okay? I'll get you home safely." Placing his hand over hers, Roger assured her, "Trust me."
"Roger, we have to be very careful—"
"Hold on a sec," he interrupted her as he received a call from one of his men.
"What do you mean by a few of them are missing?" He yelled.
"There were a total of six cars, we managed to track down and take care of only four of them. Two cars are still loose. It is a well executed plan boss—we are speculating the two cars are still at the hospital. You have to be very careful. We are quite far from the area but we are already on the way," The man informed.
"Be alert—How many men did you leave behind?"
"They are all Mr. Mo's men."
"Alright, try to come here fast. We might need more backup," Roger instructed his men before hanging up the call.
When he was on his way to pick Ning up from the hospital, he felt something was off. Two black SUV's had been following him since he left home. After a few minutes, he received a call from Yichan who told him about the suspicious activities that were happening outside the hospital. Three of his men had suddenly disappeared.
Yichan told him to fetch Ning as soon as possible and take her home safely.
By the time he hung up the call, he noticed two more similar looking cars were following him. Roger somehow managed to lure them away. He then instructed his men to follow the cars.
He had a feeling that it had something to do with the anonymous warning email he had received the previous night from his father's right hand man, Markus.
"What happened?" Ning asked.
Roger was about to answer when he saw two similar looking SUV's pull up at the parking lot. And the very next moment, they heard loud gunshots.
"Damn it—" Roger cursed before taking out a gun from the glove compartment of the dashboard.
Giving the gun to Ning, he instructed, "Keep it with you." He then started the engine, all ready to drive out of the parking lot.
He knew that Yichan's men were right behind them and they were the ones cross firing. And even though his car was bullet proof, he didn't want to take the risk of keeping Ning in such a situation for a long time.
But before he could press the accelerator, Ning stopped him. "Don't—we cant drive through that. What if they crash into them or they start chasing us?"
"They will chase us…that is what they are here for. We can't stay here for long—" Roger explained. "Yichan's men are behind us, they will take care of things here. We have to leave—"
"What if it happens again?" Looking at him with teary eyes, she said, "The accident—what if it happens again?"
In a situation like this, all she could think about was the accident which happened a few months ago. Fortunately nothing happened to Suiyan and her unborn child at that time. But what if Ning is not that lucky? What if she ends up hurting the child?
"Hey—" Cupping her face, Roger remarked, "Nothing is going to happen, okay? Just trust me—"
Just then two more cars entered the parking lot and stopped right in front of Ning's and Rogers' car.
" Shit—" Roger cursed as he tried to reverse the car.
Just then he received a call from one of Yichan's men who was behind them. "We will cover, you have to take madam out of here."
"How are you gonna do that? They are clearly more in number. Where is the backup?" Roger snapped.
"Backup will be here any minute but we don't have time. We can't wait any longer and let them overpower us," the man exclaimed.
Roger frowned. "If we take any action now, they will do the same. We clearly lack manpower right now. We won't be able to keep up." He very well knew who these men were, they were his father's men. Even though Yichan's men were highly skilled, they were comparatively less in number which was a great disadvantage.
