Chapter 1283


    Under the cover of the night, Chris stealthily climbed to a nearby building and set up his sniper gun. He


    communicated with hisrades through an earpiece.


    The authorities had also dispatched two snipers to assist him.


    “Zuko, I have a clear view of Grandma Janine from my position. She’s safe for now, with her head


    wound bandaged. Albert is by her side, armed with a gun and dagger. Desiree is standing nearby.”


    “Can we open fire now?” Zuko inquired.


    “Not yet,” Chris replied. “Albert is on high alert. We need to distract him. I can take the shot once he’s


    three steps away from Grandma Janine.”


    Meanwhile, Lina checked the time and realized over an hour had passed. Earlier, she had arranged for


    the food to be removed from the room as a solution for Janine’s safety.


    Taking a deep breath, she knocked on the door.


    “Who is it!?” Albert’s voice came from inside.


    “Mr. Harper, it’s time for Grandma Janine to take her medicine,” Lina replied.


    “Medicine? This olddy seems perfectly fine. She’s staring at me! Why would she need medicine?”


    Lina said, “Grandma Janine has certain ailments that aremon among elderly people. It’s crucial for


    her to take her medicine on time to avoid anyplications.”

    Lina added, “Also, my dad is working to gather the money. The Thompson Group has plenty of liquid


    capital. It won’t be difficult for him toe up with 750,000,000 in a short period.”Books Chapters Are

    Chris’ voice then came through Zuko’s earpiece. “Albert seems to be considering the offer.”


    Receiving Zuko’s signal, Lina continued her approach. “Mr. Harper, I know you must be hungry. Let me


    arrange for some food to be sent in. You and Grandma Janine should eat.”


    Albert was suspicious of her intentions. “You’re trying to trick me, aren’t you? I know the police have


    surrounded me. If I open the door, I won’t survive!”


    “Calm down. You’ve misunderstood.” Lina responded calmly. “We are the only ones out there. Will you


    turn on theputer in the room? It’s connected to the surveince outside. If you’re worried, you can


    watch us retreat from the fifth floor.”


    Albert remained suspicious, keeping his gun pointed at Janine’s head.


    He signaled Desiree to turn on theputer at the desk, and sheplied with Lina’s request. The


    events outside the room appeared on the screen.


    Lina led everyone to back off toward the stairs.


    Checking the surveince, Albert saw that the corridor was empty. The distance from the room to the


    stairs was considerable. Even if the attendant came to deliver food, they wouldn’t reach the door during


    the brief opening period.


    It seemed unlikely that even the police could arrive that quickly.


    Albert instructed Desiree to call Zuko.


    He said coldly, “Zuko, your fiancee mentioned sending us food, right?”


    Zuko replied tly, “Yes.”


    “Send a portion of the cash first to show me your sincerity!” Albert gnashed his teeth. “Have someone


    leave it at the door and then leave this floor immediately! If you try anything deceitful, I’ll kill this old


    lady!”


    After ending the call, Zuko contacted Chris and briefed him quickly.


    Chris adjusted himself and his gun, preparing to take action.
