Chapter 565: Chapter 576: I Am the First
The remaining thug saw that eight of his fellows had died and the boss had jumped into the sea to escape. At this point, he had no will to fight and wanted to jump into the sea to escape as well.
He and Helen Wilson were evenly matched. At first, he let Helen sneak attack him and suffered so injuries, always on the defensive. Now, without the will to fight, he was at a disadvantage. Just as he wanted to turn around and jump into the sea, Helen swept his thigh with a whip kick, making him fall onto the deck with a thud. Helen bent her right leg and knelt on John’s back, grabbing the thug’s right hand and twisting it hard, rendering him completely powerless to struggle.
Killing isn’t her thing, but doing sothing like this, Helen is quite adept.
“Hey, you go and bring back that boss quickly.” Helen had subdued the last thug on the ship but saw that Jas Brown was still standing on the ship, and she shouted loudly, almost blurting out Jas Brown’s na, but changed it just before speaking.
Jas Brown looked at the sea with his hands behind his back and said, “Are you ordering ?”
If it were Jas Brown, Helen wouldn’t mind ordering him because, after all, he’s her man. But now that Jas is under the guise of the Mysterious Figure, Helen didn’t want to break the illusion and naturally couldn’t command him, plus seeing Jas with his hands behind his back trying to look cool, Helen couldn’t help but find it amusing. That showoff!
Softening her tone, Helen said, “That escaping guy is the key figure among them, and you must catch him, otherwise he’ll keep causing harm.”
Jas Brown shook his head and said, “To go into the sea for trash like that, I definitely won’t do it.”
Helen glared fiercely at Jas Brown from behind and said, “What if I beg you, please catch that guy.”
“What’s in it for ?” Jas Brown asked calmly.
“Whatever you want, I’ll give you whatever benefit you want,” Helen blurted out.
“Alright, I want you to accompany tonight.”
“Okay!” Helen answered readily and without hesitation, feeling secretly pleased inside. “You want to accompany you tonight, don’t you? I’ll agree and see how you co find tonight.”
Jas Brown hadn’t expected Helen to agree so readily, and with so suspicion, he turned to look at Helen and said, “I’m not joking, are you really agreeing?”
eting Jas Brown’s gaze, Helen resolutely said, “Of course I agree, you’ve helped so many tis, you even saved my life, if you want to find , why would I disagree?”
Jas Brown actually felt a bit uneasy and, frowning, said, “Didn’t you say last ti you already have a boyfriend? Don’t you want to betray your boyfriend?”
Seeing that Jas Brown looked a bit displeased, Helen felt even more pleased and deliberately sulked, saying, “That bastard has won outside, so why can’t I have a man? Besides, I’ve always admired you deeply. I’m willing to do anything for you.”
Jas Brown still hadn’t realized that Helen had recognized him. Her attitude really made him uncomfortable. He and Helen hadn’t been together many tis, but he had taken her virginity. Even if he couldn’t marry Helen, he unconsciously regarded Helen as his woman. Now that his own woman wanted to sleep with another man, how could he not feel anything about it?
“Go catch him quickly! As long as you catch him, you can do whatever you want with tonight,” urged Helen once more.
Jas Brown rolled his eyes and snorted; he hadn’t really planned to catch that thug but didn’t feel like moving now.
“Bastard, if you don’t help catch him, I’ll make sure you regret it,” Helen shouted as she saw Jas Brown still unmoved, furious.
With Helen’s outburst, Jas Brown didn’t feel as bothered anymore. Guessing Helen was just saying that to catch the thug, he flicked his wrist and heard a scream from the sea, then turned to Helen and said, “Okay, I’ve injured him. How you pull him out is up to you.”
Helen had a mix of feelings for this guy Jas Brown. Strong enough to be unimaginable, but sotis his show-offing made her grit her teeth in hatred. Now she wondered how funny it might be if soday she busted his gimmick. She got the other hostages to bring a rope to tie up the thug she subdued and then drove a speedboat to the place where the boss had popped up. The guy was now floating on the surface of the sea, and it was unknown if Jas Brown had killed him—he was completely still.
After hooking this guy up, Helen Wilson drove the speedboat to the dock. John Brown said there were four more thugs in the cabin, then jumped off the speedboat, and said, “Wait for at ho tonight, I’m coming to find you.” Then he left.
Helen Wilson glared at John Brown’s back, then a proud smile appeared on her face. But there was no ti to think about it, and she quickly used the speedboat’s radio to contact the police.
In less than twenty minutes, a large group of police officers arrived. There were a total of fourteen thugs, with six alive and eight dead, but none of the hostages were hard, leaving everyone stunned.
Helen Wilson was called to the car by John Harris, who inquired in detail about the situation. Helen did not hide anything, as there were other hostages who witnessed it, and it was impossible to hide. Besides, she didn’t want to claim undeserved credit, so she explained everything, except she skipped the part about the Mysterious Figure coming to her place tonight.
John Harris, seeing the scene, already guessed that it must have been the Mysterious Figure helping Helen Wilson. He was incredibly curious about this Mysterious Figure, but since this person only helped and did not cause any trouble for the police, he didn’t intend to create problems for them. Besides, without the intervention of the Mysterious Figure, the police would have been in big trouble. The museum was robbed, hostages were killed, and if the thugs had escaped, his position as director would be in jeopardy.
“Little Lin, you’ve made a great contribution again this ti, but I don’t know how to promote you. You’re already the deputy director of a sub-bureau; promoting you further would be too fast. I plan to recomnd a comndation for you, get a first-class rit, and after accumulating a couple more years, then promote you further.”
Helen Wilson blushed and said, “Director N, I already feel uneasy holding the deputy director position. If I’m promoted further, I won’t be able to handle it; I don’t have that kind of capability.”
John Harris smiled slightly and said, “Capability is sothing that is cultivated. Not just in YODC City, but nationwide, there is no one who, like you, has repeatedly solved major cases just over a year into the job. No one would criticize your promotion.”
Having solved this case, John Harris felt much more relaxed. Catching these people was a major achievent, whereas not catching them would have been dereliction of duty, aning a potential promotion for him as well.
However, when taking statents from the hostages, they ntioned the Mysterious Figure’s demands to Helen Wilson, which made the police officers taking statents look at Helen with suggestive eyes. Helen then realized she hadn’t told the hostages to keep quiet. Now, everyone was talking about her relationship with the Mysterious Figure.
But John Harris didn’t want this matter spreading widely, so he imdiately instructed the officers taking statents not to disclose this, as it involved Helen’s image as a police officer.
As for the hostages, even if they talked, it wouldn’t be a big deal, mostly just gossip.
Despite eight deaths, John Harris chose to overlook it, reporting that Helen Wilson killed the thugs at the ti, which looked better on paper. Reporting a Mysterious Figure would lead to a troubleso investigation.
John Harris’s action was expected by John Brown, who was leisurely driving with Alice Brown on their way back.
Alice Brown’s curiosity burned intensely along the way, asking John Brown how he dealt with the thugs.
John Brown turned the car onto a small side road leading to a private villa, which was usually deserted and very quiet at this ti.
Stopping the car, John Brown turned to face Alice Brown and said, “Alice, I have sothing to tell you, and you must keep it a secret for .”
“Okay, okay, I will definitely keep it a secret for you,” Alice Brown nodded like a little bird pecking at rice.
Only then did John Brown slowly say, “I killed eight of the thugs, and the remaining two were captured with a policeman’s help. But at the ti, I wasn’t in my true appearance, so no one could recognize .”
Alice Brown’s eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, “Then… who else knows about your identity?”
“No one knows, you’re the first,” John Brown lit a cigarette and leisurely took a couple of puffs. Telling Alice directly was unavoidable. Since she ca with him, she knew he went to the boat to help, and as a TV host, she could find out what happened on the boat. With a little thought, she could deduce that he was the person, so it was better for him to just tell her.
“I’m… the first… I am actually the first…” Alice Brown repeated the words, her gaze towards John Brown growing increasingly fervent.
John Brown felt a bit unnerved by Alice Brown’s gaze and said, “Alice, what are you doing? Don’t look at like that.”
Alice Brown suddenly lunged at John Brown, excitedly saying, “I don’t care anymore, Big Brother Brown, I want you today, even if you call cheap, even if you say I’m shaless, I want you!” As she spoke, her lips moved to kiss John Brown’s face, and one hand grabbed directly at his vulnerable spot.
