Chapter 1085 - 1085

In the corner of his eye, a shadow leaped up, and two hands directly wrapped around Dirk Carter's neck.

With the momentum.

Dirk Carter was pulled down to the ground by this person.

Then.

He was pinned firmly to the ground by this person.

Just in that split second, Dirk Carter realized it wasn't anyone else pinning him down but the female traffic cop, Dulce Lewis, whom he had locked in the car.

He didn't know how she managed to escape.

But she suddenly appeared, saw the horrific scene on the ground, and with Dirk Carter holding a dagger just about to strike the person on the ground, she misunderstood the situation.

This is why she threw herself recklessly at him.

"Let me go!"

Dirk Carter shouted.

Dulce Lewis, with a face full of indignation, angrily said, "Bastard, I finally caught you."

With a click.

Dirk Carter was handcuffed.

And the other end was cuffed to Dulce's wrist.

At this moment.

She was still excited about capturing a criminal.

Little did she know she was aiding the enemy.

The man on the ground immediately broke free, grabbed the dagger from the ground, and stabbed it towards Dulce's back, thinking that since she wore a police uniform, she had to be silenced.

It must be known.

Dulce was pressing hard on Dirk Carter, unaware of the situation behind her.

But Dirk Carter saw it.

He couldn't care less about warning her.

Using all his strength, he rolled over from his position.

Dulce thought Dirk Carter was resisting, and shouted angrily, "Bastard."

With a dull thud.

The dagger pierced into Dirk Carter's back at the shoulder, leaving only the handle outside.

For that brief moment, Dulce was stunned.

"The police are coming, run!"

Astrid Giles shouted in the distance.

The remaining man could no longer concern himself with the two of them and started running.

He and Astrid grabbed two suitcases each and bolted in the direction of Ardmore City.

Intense pain spread from the shoulder.

Dirk Carter had no strength left.

He lifted his head, looking towards Astrid's direction, a wave of despair flooding his heart.

Just when he thought Astrid would make a clean escape.

A group of shadows appeared in the distance.

Heath Woods was the first to rush over. Seeing the knife handle in Dirk Carter's back, just as he was about to step forward to help, Dirk Carter, in a weak voice, pointed into the distance and said, "Chase... Chase... go after them!"

Heath Woods couldn't concern himself with Dirk Carter anymore.

Leading the SWAT officers behind him, they sprinted away.

More and more police officers appeared.

At this time, Lance Lane, the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, also rushed over.

Seeing Dirk Carter's state.

He was so frightened he didn't know what to do.

He quickly squatted down and asked, "Secretary General Carter, what's happened to you?"

In fact, Dirk Carter was in so much pain he was on the verge of passing out; he was holding on, just waiting for news of Astrid Giles' capture.

He waved to Lance Lane.

Then lifted his handcuffed wrist, and said to the dazed Dulce Lewis, "Can you uncuff me first?"

"Oh..."

Dulce Lewis hurriedly pulled out the key and clumsily unlocked the handcuffs.

"Didn't I throw away the key? Where did you get the key?"

Dirk Carter asked weakly.

Dulce Lewis, already in a dazed state, mechanically said, "I... I usually carry two... two keys..."

After being uncuffed.

With the help of a few SWAT officers, Dirk Carter stood up.

Watching as the injured Elbert Rivers was taken away.

The heavy stone in his heart finally settled.

"Secretary General Carter, we should hurry to the hospital."

Lance Lane said worriedly.

Dirk Carter waved his hand and said, "Wait a moment, let's wait and see..."

Wait for what? One doesn't need to be told; it's obviously for Astrid Giles.

"You... you... are you really... really the Discipline Inspector?"

At this time.

Dulce Lewis stammered.

The color on Dirk Carter's face faded more and more, his back completely soaked with blood.

He hadn't had the chance to answer.

Someone in the distance shouted, "Caught her, they caught Astrid Giles..."

Upon hearing those words.

It was like a burden of a thousand pounds was lifted, and Dirk Carter's energy and spirit instantly faded.

At the last moment, he still managed to show a smile to Dulce Lewis and asked, "Do I really lack the demeanor of a leader?"

After saying this, he lost consciousness.

...

When he woke up again.

He was already lying on a hospital bed.

He couldn't remember how many times he had been hospitalized.

Familiar ceiling, familiar smell of disinfectant.

A nurse, monitoring the instruments nearby, saw him open his eyes and exclaimed in delight, "He's awake, the patient is awake..."

A minute or two later.

Four or five doctors rushed into the ward.

After a thorough inspection up and down.

An older doctor removed his mask and asked Dirk Carter, "Secretary General Carter, is there anywhere else you feel uncomfortable?"

"I... my shoulder hurts."

Dirk Carter said.

The doctors chuckled softly.

The old doctor said, "Secretary General Carter, fortunately, no bones were injured, but you might end up with a scar."

Upon hearing this.

Dirk Carter also breathed a sigh of relief.

A few minutes later, after the examination ended, he was informed that he had been unconscious for 48 hours.

When he was brought in, he had lost too much blood, and the hospital urgently supplied blood from their bank to pull Dirk Carter back from the gates of death.

No matter what, it still sounded pretty precarious.

After an hour of rest.

At Dirk Carter's request.

The doctor agreed to let Dirk Carter see someone, but the time had to be controlled within half an hour.

At this moment.

Many people were gathered at the door.

There were leaders, friends, but the person Dirk Carter wanted to see most was Heath Woods.

When Heath Woods came in, he also anxiously asked how Dirk Carter was feeling. But Dirk Carter didn't want to hear anything and shouted, "Talk about the case, talk about the case, what happened with Astrid Giles?"

"Leader, I knew you wanted to hear news about her most; rest assured, Astrid Giles has been captured, and not only captured, the case has been solved, Polly Linden's body was excavated last night..."

Heath Woods' words were indeed the best remedy.

Dirk Carter immediately felt much more at ease.

Holding Heath Woods, he said, "Quick, tell me, what exactly happened?"

Heath Woods nodded.

In the next twenty minutes, he explained the entire process in detail.

First was the capture.

Astrid Giles and the other man carrying four suitcases did not run fast.

Heath Woods, leading the SWAT, quickly caught up.

At a critical moment, the man abandoned Astrid Giles and ran.

Just like that.

Astrid Giles was caught on the spot.

As for the man who ran away, he was also captured later by the SWAT.

Among the eight suitcases Astrid Giles carried, there was about two hundred thousand in cash, besides that, around two hundred thousand US Dollars, several gold bars, and forged ID cards and passports were also found.
