The Reunion After Seven Years

Jared saw Kerr approaching and immediately looked up to give him a report.

"Mr. Qin is fine. He was shot with a tranquilizer dart but doesn't seem to have any injuries."

He pulled the needle out of Ken's arm and handed it to Kerr.

"Bring him to the hospital, but don't inform the Qin family for the time being,"

Kerr instructed Jared. He took a look at the surroundings, his eyes sweeping the warehouse for every detail. The small sunroof diagonally above him caught his attention.

Before he could get nearer to examine the window, a tranquilizer gun appeared.

"Move away!"

Kerr yelled urgently. He twisted his body deftly and managed to dodge the tranquilizer dart that was shot out of the window.

Not too far away, Nicole was not so lucky.

She was glued to the spot, unable to see anything and exposed with nowhere to hide. She had never felt so scared in her entire life.

"Ah!"

She felt a sharp pain in her arm, as if something had stung her. Instinctively, she raised her hand to the spot to brush it away. Much to her surprise, it wasn't an insect but something that felt like a needle.

"Nicole!"

Kerr was about to rush to her side to pull her into his arms when a man clad in black suddenly appeared from behind her and held a dagger against her throat.

"Stay where you are, Mr Gu. Even if you accidentally get any closer, my hand will slip and accidentally cut open this young lady's artery too."

The man's voice was clear and menacing. He had never expected to meet Kerr there today, but it seemed to be a very good opportunity that was not to be wasted.

"What do you want?"

Judging from what the man had said, Kerr was sure the man knew him well.
