His Devious Rule

Chapter 574  The Perpetrator

Anya and Alvin weren't wearing seatbelts in the back seats. The sudden and harsh impact caused the couple to bounce front. Thanks to their quick reflexes, they used their hands to steady themselves. Alvin's other hand had reached Anya while the latter involuntarily shrieked his name, "Alvin…"

The middle-aged company chauffeur groaned at the sudden impact but he was in much better condition. Noticing the oddness of the truck again rushing towards the car, he slammed on the accelerator in pure fear.

Burying Anya in his arms, Alvin glanced at the truck. He was quick to deduce that the truck didn't lose control, instead, it was intentional. He turned back to the chauffeur who was driving in terror to escape.

Indeed, they needed to escape the truck but the situation was demanding and they had to be level-headed. The fear could put them in danger. And they weren't on the highway to depend on speed but the city traffic.

He gravely asked, "Could you drive?"

Warner who was on the call with Anya failed to hear the collision, thanks to the technology of noise cancellation on mobile. However, he did hear Anya's shriek. Nevertheless, his words barely reached the couple as the mobile that was lying in the legroom, [Office Owen, what's wrong? Are you in danger? Where are you? Hello!? Hello!?]

Anya struggled to get out of Alvin's protective arms. She wasn't the one to sit and be protected. She couldn't be at ease without knowing the situation and the developments.

She had just managed to sit when the chauffeur stuttered out of horror, "I-I d-don't know." He wasn't Alvin's regular chauffeur but Ean's work chauffeur from the company. It was his first time driving Alvin as Rob was always there with Alvin or else Alvin and Anya drove their cars a lot of times.

Anya immediately instructed when Alvin was ready to take the driver's seat. "Keep the car steady."

From the time of her mission to catch Miles and Arcane incident at the award ceremony, she was instructed to carry her handgun for her safety. Clicking the button to slide the sunroof of the car, Anya instructed Alvin, "You will have to pull me inside as soon as I give you a signal." She didn't have time to waste to get a steady grip or take the chance of slipping if the truck crashed them again.

Alvin was reluctant but the circumstances demanded quick actions instead of arguments. Looking at her determined eyes and confident voice, he agreed to follow her commands, "Be careful."

Helping Anya move to the stand, Alvin kept his eyes on the road ahead and the truck that was crashing into other cars, while chasing after them in the city traffic. "Take left." He chose the alleyway to avoid the truck causing more harm.

Anya easily stood up while Alvin supported her by holding her legs. She couldn't fire at the tire of the truck from the front but the truck driver who was probably doing the work for money.

She avoids shooting the hitmen in the head or heart while working. However, her priority was their lives over a man who was trying to kill her husband.   She opened fire when the chauffeur of their car cried out in horror, "It's a dead-end." It was a dead-end street.

'Snap… Snap…'

Alvin saw two hundred meters of road and instructed the chauffeur, "Unlock the doors."

'Click.' The chauffeur just followed the instructions with a shaky hand while the truck kept rushing towards them.

Alvin noticed Anya trying to get down as she called him, "Alvin…"

Alvin effortlessly pulled her to his arms in one swift move and instructed the chauffeur, "Jump out of the car." Because the truck was still headed towards them.

Anya didn't get to gather herself when Alvin opened the door and tried his best to jump far away, holding Anya. She instinctively rolled them to the corner. The chauffeur hesitated but there was less than fifty meters to the wall. He opened the door and jumped out. He barely managed to miss the truck.

'Bang…' "Ahh….." The chauffeur cried out in horror while a lot more witnessed the incident from a hundred to two hundred meters away.

Anya was the safest in Alvin's embrace when Alvin bore all the pain of fall. Yet he endured the pain and checked on Anya. Anya cried looking at his backhand bleeding and his clothes torn, "Alvin, you are hurt." The impact could tear his muscles and fracture his bones.

Alvin breathed only after seeing her unscathed. He held her shaking hands and cupped her face to take her eyes away from the blood and wound, "I'm fine."

Leaning him against the wall, "Please don't move." She pleaded with him. She rummaged through his pockets for a mobile to call the ambulance. Both had dropped their mobiles in the car. She stood up and saw their car squeezed between the truck and the huge wall. Her eyes fell on the chauffeur who was crawling at the corner.

She ran to the chauffeur and took his mobile. She dialed Senon to send her an ambulance, arrange the best doctors, keep an eye on social media, take control of security footage, and arrive at the scene with a team to take care of the mess.

Her priority was to make sure Alvin was doing good. If she leads the case, she might end up shoving all the bullets into Ricardo's head or whoever was the perpetrator.

She purposefully avoided Rob as she didn't believe anybody with Zane's safety. Zane was smart to catch Rob's reactions. In Zane's eyes, Alvin was the strongest man who could save them from anything and everything. So he will be agitated if he looks at Alvin's state.

Alvin was obedient, seeing her worried while holding back her tears. Anyway, he failed to coax her that he was fine. It took ten minutes for the ambulance to arrive. By that time, Alvin looked pale while Anya struggled to stop the bleeding. She rambled on to keep him awake. The ambulance staff notified Anya that the truck driver was dead with a bullet in the head and one in the chest.

Alvin and the chauffeur were shifted to the nearest hospital where Doctor Benson and the top surgeons rushed there to check on Alvin.
