Chapter 685


    The gate on one side of the vi slowly opened, revealing a deep ck hole.


    Everyone looked inside. The door on this side led to a basement, and the darkness inside was


    unfathomable.


    They all held their breaths.


    This seemed like one of Yadriel''s hiding spots, which had been carefully built a long time ago. At


    that time, he could not act rashly. Otherwise, he would not know how he died.


    "Chief, I''ll bandage your wound." Sergio stood at the door. One of his men came out from another


    door with a first aid kit.


    Jenna covered her mouth with one hand, with tears in her eyes.


    Her other hand slowly held Hansen''s. His warm palm was then so cold that sent chills down her


    spine.


    His arm was shot, and blood dripped from it from time to time.


    Both of them were precious to her.


    On one side was her husband, and on the other side was her mother. At that time, the fact that she


    had to make a decision tortured her so badly that she couldn''t breathe.


    If she were to ask Hansen to return, then he would never go. If this dragged on for too long, then


    not only would Hansen''s wound be infected, even her mother was in danger. After all, she was still a


    patient.


    At that time, she could imagine how pressured she felt.


    After his wound was bandaged, Sergio stood up with a sneer on his face.


    After the door was opened, the sound of a wheelchair slowly came from the dark basement below.


    Jenna held her breath and looked towards the direction of the source of the sound. She clenched


    her fists, and her palms were covered with sweat.


    Soon, Sara was pushed out of the basement by a dark and thin man with fierce eyes.


    The man had a gun aimed at Sara''s temple.


    Sara''s hair was messy, and her face was pale and haggard. Her hands were tied to the wheelchair.


    She blinked several times as she was wheeled out from the dark basement due to the bright light


    outside. Even though she had shut her eyes, she could guess what was going on.


    "Mom," Jenna shouted when she saw her mother''s miserable state, and she was about to rush


    forward.


    "Jenna." Hansen had expected her to be emotional. He immediately wrapped her tightly in his


    embrace so that she could not move. "Jenna, don''t be agitated. They have nowhere to go. Don''t


    rush over rashly. You''ll only fall for his trap. Just wait."


    "But, Hansen, I am so worried about Mom. She looks horrible. She is still a patient. She shouldn''t


    have to go through this," Jenna cried in his arms, choking with sobs.


    The rims of Hansen''s eyes reddened as his brows knitted tightly together. Jenna''s tears tore his


    heart into pieces.


    However, he just held her tightly in his arms, and his face was as dark as coal.


    As time went by, it was noon, and the sun made people feel unusually warm.


    "Sergio, what exactly do you want?" He gulped before saying in a stern and hoarse voice.


    Sergio''s smile was very frivolous, and he sounded very arrogant.


    "Hansen, if you want Sara to return safe and sound, then hand over the real Ocean Heart and send


    me away from the country safely." He tidied his hair, which was soaked with sweat, with a smile on


    his face.


    Hansen''s brows furrowed and his expression was calm. He had long expected such a request. His


    eyes darkened and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "You abducted an olddy and made


    shameless requests for wealth. You are really scum. But it doesn''t matter. I agree to your request."


    "No, Hansen, you can''t promise him." After Sara got used to the bright light outside, she heard her


    daughter crying. Her heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife. Suddenly, she opened her eyes


    and snapped at him.


    "Mom, this treasure is nothingpared to your life. Don''t worry, we will save you," Hansen gave


    her a reassuring smile.


    Sara''s tightly knitted brows rxed. She smiled and said, "Hansen, the Ocean Heart is a national


    treasure. It can''t be handed over to bad people who are escaping abroad. My life is not important. It


    doesn''t matter what he does to me. Take my daughter and leave here quickly. I gave my daughter to


    you. Promise me that you will make her happy for the rest of her life."


    Tears flowed down her cheeks and she looked fearless. She raised her head and looked at the blue


    sky and the white clouds in the distance. Her face was devoid of fear as she said coldly, "Sergio, I


    misjudged you. I deserve to die. Quick, shoot me. Don''t be a coward. I won''t let you have the Ocean


    Heart. I won''t allow them to submit to you either."


    After saying these words, she seemed to have used up all her strength and lowered her head as


    she panted.


    Panic flitted across Sergio''s eyes.


    "Don''t talk nonsense, old woman." Standing next to her, the man who was pointing at Sara''s temple


    with a pistol cursed. He pushed the pistol against Sara''s head hard, which pushed her head to the


    side. A strand of silver hair fell on her face, emitting a dazzling white light under the sun.


    "Mom!" Jenna cried out in pain, and tears rolled down her cheeks like beads of broken string.


    "Sergio, if you dare to hurt my mother, then I won''t let you get away with it." Hansen''s heart


    tightened as he gritted his teeth and swore harshly.


    Sergio burst outughing.


    "Hansen, this day next year will be the anniversary of your family''s funeral. Remember. These are


    the consequences of opposing the Xanthe family... death. I''m afraid you have no choice but to go to


    h*ll and learn this lesson."


    He spoke in such an arrogant and evil manner, and there was a gloomy chill radiating from him.


    These words made Hansen''s heart race. For a moment, he was confused. He could not understand


    the meaning behind his words.


    At that time, the phone in his hand rang urgently.


    "Hansen, where are you? Things are not looking good. Richards Manor has been surrounded by


    spies. They''ve buried a lot of bombs in the mansion. We''re in grave danger." Norton''s anxious voice


    travelled from the other end of the call.


    Hansen''s eyes widened and the expression on his face changed. His entire being was shaken into


    a daze.


    What was going on?


    It turned out that Sergio had tricked them toe here. This b*stard didn''t even want to let go of his


    family. He was crazy!


    "Sergio, you are so vicious. I hope you burn in h*ll." The blue veins on Hansen''s forehead bulged.


    He took out a pistol and pointed it at Sergio. Yet, he held back the urge to shoot.


    "Like your present? Mr. Richards, do you think today will be your family''s death day?" Sergio saw


    Hansen''s reaction and smiled proudly.


    It was all part of his n. He kidnapped Sara and forced Jenna to hand over the Ocean Heart. On


    the other side, he forced Richards Manor to hold Hansen back and seek revenge.


    After the terrorists from the war- torn country failed to trade weapons, they flew into a rage out of


    humiliation and followed them to A City, which was exactly what Sergio wanted. Hence, he cleverly


    made use of their anger.


    That time, he would settle everything with the Richards family once and for all.


    Hansen had never imagined that Yadriel would be so insidious. He was so crazy that he would do


    such a thing. Hansen''s heart was throbbing so hard that it might burst out of his ribcage anytime


    soon.


    At that time, the police led by Jordan hade.


    They were pressing for time. He did not have time to worry. He said to Alvin beside him, "Alvin, lead


    Grand Eagles and the police back to the mansion. Protect the mansion and everyone inside. Sergio


    has set bombs there. Some terrorists have also surrounded the mansion. The situation is extremely


    critical. We must go and rescue them as soon as possible."


    Alvin''s eyes widened.


    "Mr. Richards, but you''re in danger too," he retorted with concern as he was jolted from his daze.


    "Quick, go. I''ll take care of things on this end. The Ocean Heart is in my hands. He can''t do anything


    to me for the time being," Hansen roared anxiously.


    Jenna had already understood everything at present. She only saw ck spots in front of her, and


    her heart felt like it was going to stop beating.


    Hearing Hansen''s painful cry awakened her from her stupor. At that moment, she said firmly,


    "Hansen, go back to the mansion. There are hundreds of lives there. We can''t be sloppy with the


    Richards family''s legacy that has been passed down. They need you more. Leave this to me. Don''t


    worry, Sergio won''t do anything to us."


    A sorrowful smile appeared on Hansen''s face. He lowered his head and said in a gentle voice,


    "Jenna, I promise you that even if I were to risk my life to save our mother, I won''t let them hurt her.


    Don''t worry, Christopher and General Delia are in the mansion. They will know how to deal with it."


    "Christopher and General Delia didn''t bring their men there, and they don''t have any weapons. They


    have no way to deal with this. This is no ordinary matter." Jenna was so anxious that she begged


    him. "Hansen, go back. There are too many people there. Go and settle it. You also have to treat


    the gun wound on your arm. Otherwise, it will get infected."

    Hansen naturally understood Jenna''s thoughts. He smiled fearlessly. "Jenna, remember, you are


    everything to me. No one''s life canpare to yours. This time, I choose to stay by your side. Treat


    it as me being selfish."


    He held her tightly and spoke firmly. He didn''t allow her to deny it.


    Jenna was greatly moved by his words. This was the most beautiful speech she had ever heard in


    her life. It made her want to break down on the spot. It made her really feel blessed. Although the


    current situation was difficult and dangerous, she truly was loved by this man.


    However, she could not be selfish. Richards Manor was their everything, with hundreds of lives.


    Would she be so selfish and keep Hansen here?


    The rims of her eyes were bloodshot, and she felt unbearable pain in her heart.
