Chapter 561 The Hypocrite
'God! They've seen me!' Lucia got nervous instantly. She eagerly wished to find a crack in the ground at this time. But it was already too late.
The two men came around from the left and right sides. One of them had already seen her and shouted, "There she is!"
Feeling that both sides were shrouded in shadows and the light was completely blocked, Lucia took a deep breath. As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw the two men staring at her grimly.
"No wonder I can't find her, so the bitch is hiding here." One man cursed, reaching out and grabbing her by the collar. He then yanked her out from behind the trash can.
Lucia's leg moved and the wound on her leg was torn open. She felt unbearable pain. She gritted her teeth and said, "Let go of me!" "Hum! No way!" The two men held her arms left and right, pulling her toward Sunshine Plant. But at that moment, there was a bright light coming from behind, followed by the roar of the car. The two men were startled and looked behind them together. But the light was too bright, they could only faintly see the shadow of the car and the two shining headlights.
They unconsciously squinted their eyes, but the car was speeding towards them. The person driving the car had no intention of slowing down. The two men were startled. Seeing that the car was getting closer and closer and about to crash into them, they quickly ducked to the side and ignored Lucia.
With a sharp and harsh sound of tires scraping the ground, the car drifted on the ground, slowing down and sliding forward. It avoided the spot where Lucia was standing. Then the car turned and braked sharply, coming to a quick stop. Soon, someone opened the door, got out of it and quickly walked toward her.
Zane raised his chin at her and said, "Lucia, get in!" As he said that, he quickly stepped forward, walked around her, and caught up with one of the fleeing men. Zane knocked the man to the ground. The other man was controlled by Zane's men and pulled back.
Lucia took a deep breath. Thinking that Garnett was still in Sunshine Plant, she looked in a hurry in the direction of the car. After a moment's hesitation, she lifted her foot, walked over to the car and got into it directly.
August was sitting in the back of the car. When he saw her, his eyes narrowed and he asked, "Are you hurt?" As he spoke, his eyes quickly swept up and down her body. Finally, he looked at her injured calf. The cloth that Lucia had temporarily wrapped around the wound was already red with blood, which was striking
August frowned. Without waiting for her to speak, he had already instructed the driver to drive and said, "Go to the nearest hospital." "Wait!" Lucia took a deep breath and said, "Garnett is still under the control of those bad guys!"
After what happened today, she didn't know what those bad guys would do to a six-year-old child. She was very worried and could not be reassured at all.
August frowned and said, "I'll send Kylan and the others to look for the child."
"No! I want to look for Garnett myself!" Lucia was firm and said, "That's a child trafficking criminal gang with a lot of children inside.
Those children are being used as cash cows by the bad guys and are being forced to beg. If we catch those bad guys, the rest of the children can't be left alone."
On hearing that, August looked at her bleeding wound and said seriously, "Lucia, this is not the time to be charitable." August thought,
'Her wounds haven't been treated yet. How can she go back to dealing with the children?"
August said in a firm tone, "I will send Kylan to bring back the child you are looking for. The most important thing now is to go to the hospital first to treat your wounds."
Zane said in a natural way, "It's not important. Mr. Adams said nothing is as important as you."
"Really?" Lucia mocked. She had just wanted to bring Garnett over herself, but she didn't think he would give her no chance to do so. Zane wanted to say something else. Before he could say anything, the phone suddenly rang. He paused, put the words back, answered the phone and asked, "Hello? What's up Kylan?"
Hearing that the caller was Kylan, Lucia became much more serious. She knew that at this time, he should already be in Sunshine Plant. Zane picked up the phone and his face suddenly turned a little pale. He took a quick glance at Lucia, then asked, "Should we look for him again?"
Kylan with certainty, "It's true that the child is not there. We looked for him according to the picture!"
Zane paused and then said, "Let's report it to Mr. Adams first and see what he will order." He then hung up the phone and looked tentatively at Lucia.
Sensing something different, Lucia asked, "What's going on? What's wrong?"
Zane closed his lips tightly and whispered, "Kylan called and said he didn't find the child in the picture."
"What!" Lucia said in surprise, "How is that possible!"
In the next second, a terrible thought suddenly came to her mind. 'Could Garnett have been taken away by those bad guys?
