However, before she could utter a single word, a deafening bang empted 

It felt as though something had exploded overhead, and the impart jolted Emelie. At the same time, the car veered out of control and crashed into a large tree on the side of the 

The erased by the collision threw Emelie, who was not wearing a seatbelt in the backseat, forward. She hit the front seat, and she felt excruciating pain in her ribs 

Wesley was also caught off guard, but his reflexes were quicker than Emelie’s. He grabbed the car door handle to prevent himself from being throw forward, and then swiftly glanced backward. 

The scene unfolding before his eyes seemed to be happening in slow motion. A brass bullet was hurtling toward them with unstoppable force 

In a split second, Wesley grabbed Emelie and pulled her into his embrace 

The bullet struck the rear window with a bang fortunately, the car was bulletproof, preventing the bullet from penetrating. 

Several cars accelerated as they trailed after them, forming a protective barrier around their vehicle. 

Emelie was stunned.

What was happening? 

She looked up and saur ‘Wesley’s tense jaw. It was the firsttime she had seen him so serioss, 

The driver shouted, “Mr. Crones The tires have exploded!” 

“Don’t be afraid, Wesley reassured Emelie. 

He pressed her head down, preventing her from getting up. He observed the situation outside with a somber expression. 

Jodie, Marcel, and the bodyguards had already gotten out of their cars. Drawing their guns and pressing their backs along Wesley’s car door, they said urgently, “Mr. Graham, it’s 

an ambush!* 

They were in the woods, surrounded by dense vegetation and devoid of any signs of human activity. It was indeed an ideal location for an ambush. 

The next second, rapid gunfirecould be heard. Continuous shots were directed at Wesley’s car. 

Emelie finally understood the granty of the situation was an assassination attempt, or rather, ablatant murder. 

She knew that owning a gun was legal in foreign countries, but witnessing a scene that typically only existed in movies caused her to clutch onto Wesley’s clothes tightly 

Three bullets struck the window on the right, causing it to crack 

Wesley shouted, “Jodie” 

The sniper had exposed his position. Jodie peered from behind the car, aimed at a specific direction, and fired a shot. They heard something heavy falling from the trees and hitting the ground 

However, there was more than one shooter, and they were firing at Wesley’s car from all directions. 

They couldn’t remain as stationary targets, but the tires were punctured. They couldn’t get out to switch whicks either, as it would undoubtedly expose them to gunfire

But Wesley pressed her down again. The car windows were already cracked, and the next shat could shatter them completely. 

His eyes glinted coldly as he shouted, “Marcel, the tow rope!” 

“Got it!” Marcel replied. 

After getting two thick and sturdy ropes from another car, he secured them to the front of Wesley’s car. The car in front began to move, pulling Wesley’s car away from the ambush area as quickly as possible. 

Emelle’s heart pounded as her mind raced. Who sent the killers? Who was their target? 

She still hadn’t headed from her last trauma. Had those four families discovered she was still alive, so they had come to finish her off? 

The car in front dragged them away while Jodie and the bodyguards provided cover as bullets pelted down like raindrops.

Emelle pursed her lips. “Who are they? Are they from Capebatt City? 

Wesleyreplied, “I don’t think so.”

Hearing his answer, Emelie relaxed momentarily. But the next moment, she figured out who it was. “Is it someone from the File family? 

Wesley looked down at her. Perhaps due to the lighting or the angle, his eyes appeared deeper than usual. It seemed like Emmelie had guessed correctly. 

He had just uttered the words, “They can attempt to take it from me.” And now, the File family has indeed taken action 

Emelle made an untimely joke. “What a jins.” 

Wesley had just begun to smile when the tire of the car in front of them burst after being hit by a bullet. The car skodded and veered to oneside. 

The driver instinctively yanked the steering wheel hard in the opposite direction. However, the car was traveling too quickly for the driver to regain control
