Getting My Ex-wife Back

Chapter 1405 A Conversation



At this time, there were a dozen of cars trying to intercept the ambulance that Jepherson and the rest were travelling in. However, Jepherson, too, was travelling in a convoy, but his convoy was constantly intercepted by the other cars. Every now and then, a loud bang could be heard outside, but Jepherson was unfazed. He sat in the ambulance reading the newspaper without even looking up once. He would occasionally smile at something he read. The rest of the occupants in the ambulance could not help but wonder how a young man like him could be so calm amid this road stunt.

As his calm was contagious, the fear that had once beset the rest in the ambulance gradually disappeared.

Outside of the ambulance, it was chaos. A couple of cars, part of Jepherson’s convoy, were hit by the cars that was chasing the ambulance. The ones that remained at their wheels did their best to protect the ambulance.

As the ambulance turned onto another road, suddenly a bus appeared out of nowhere and sped towards them. However, it suddenly screeched to a stop in front of the ambulance.

The driver slammed on the breaks and immediately said, “We’re blocked.”

“Find a way to get through.”

Jepherson said as he continued reading his newspaper. This was the first time Xanthus had seen anyone so calm and composed in the face of danger.

The driver tried to go around the bus but failed.

Suddenly, a group of people started climbing onto the ambulance. Traces of worry crept down the doctors’ spines, but Xanthus’s first instinct was to protect Stuart. He immediately took out a syringe and gave Stuart an injection.

Stuart stared at Jepherson without saying anything. He gradually fell asleep.

Jepherson continued to read the newspaper when suddenly, the ambulance door burst opened. Just then, two men dressed in black jumped into the ambulance, took out their guns and aimed it at Stuart.

Jepherson threw the newspaper at the two men, temporarily obstructing their view. At the same time, Jepherson got to his feet and kicked one of them and his shot missed. The other person managed to get rid of the newspaper from his face but his gun was soon snatched away by Jepherson. After that, Jepherson pressed him down on the ground, immobilizing him.

Jepherson was ruthless, but he had no intentions to kill. After that, he kicked those men out of the ambulance, before firing into the air the gun that was in his hands, emptying the bullets.

The doctors that were in the ambulance started to tremble with fear when they heard the gunshots. Their eyes widened as they stared at Jepherson. Once Jepherson was done, he wiped down the gun with a towel before tossing it out onto the ground.

The attackers were frightened down to the soles of their shoes when Jepherson glared at them. No one dared to approach him.

Suddenly, Jepherson’s men appeared from all directions. Not long after, the two groups began to fight. The driver quickly closed the door while Jepherson resumed his seat. Then, the driver started car and they continued on with their journey.

After Jepherson took his seat, Xanthus looked at him and said, “I can’t imagine what kind of life Raeleigh would be living if she followed you.”

“I am not a villain, but because of my position, I have be on guard at all times.

It just like how a baby girl was kidnapped because her parents had offended someone.

I don’t wish harm on anyone, but I have to be on guard of the harm that others might do to me.

Assuming that my child was in this ambulance, and those thugs earlier who somehow detest me and want to hurt my child. Hah, when hell freezes over, I’d say.

I’m not a sinner by any means but there’s still a long road ahead of me. I do not condone evil, but evil has sucked me into this. If the vengeance is mine, then it shall be mine to repay. I have no choice.

Since I have to deal with them, I will do it my way. This is ‘survival of the fittest’, though I will not resort to killing them.

There’s a lot of people under my wing. If I can’t handle those thugs, then I am not qualified to protect anyone.

I will take the matters of their survival into my own hands.”

“Is this the only way?” Xanthus asked as he leaned back in his seat. He thought about his family’s situation. Maybe it was really like what Jepherson said. If he had the ability, perhaps Raeleigh would not have been kidnapped.

“Should you kill others, it would be an eye for an eye. You might be able to protect this generation, but not the next.”

“There is only so much I can care. If this generation was eliminated, there would not be a next generation.

My father did not like dealing with officials because they were ruthless and unforgiving. They only care about their personal gain and are usually overpowered by greed. They are willing play dirty in order to get to the top. In the end, they become corrupted.

Everything they did was wrong.

My father felt that it is only doomsday waiting to happen if a businessman relied on any officials. Even their families would be affected.

Which is why he did not like interacting with officials.

But then again, if you did not have any political backing, you can’t go far either.

Officials are ruthless. They want money and are willing to kill. They are bloodsuckers if I’ve ever seen one.

Dare I say, those foreign women are no stranger to adultery. When they fall in love with another alpha man, they would then get together with him, all the while they were fully willing to.

In our country, people with power and influence have twisted hearts. Some are even perverts, especially those officials. A handful of them are already in their fifties and sixties. Some even even have grandchildren, yet they go around flirting with the wives and daughters of rich businessmen. They would spend a night with them and then offer them a government project in return. The officials would then use it to blackmail the businessmen. This means of power play is certainly beyond our imagination. Those wives and daughters of rich businessmen are their secret weapon.

Human were born kind-hearted. Say, a newborn baby would naturally greet another person with a smile. Adults play a major role in how their children turn out. It is from them that the children learn to worship the rich and discriminate against the poor.

That is why the officialdom is dangerous and my father despises it.”

Xanthus replied with a question, “You’re saying that you guys are wealthy merchants. The reason why your family is doing this now is that you’re all worried about being killed, so your family set up your own protection barrier. Your purpose is to protect yourself and not hurt anyone else.”

“Good people in business world are few and far in between. I’ve only seen a handful of people that are like my father. So, I admit-money is the root of all evil.

Men or women, they would still be unable to control themselves. After all, everyone had desires.

I can’t even guarantee what my future would look like.”

“It’s a high-sounding saying of using evil to fight evil.”

Xanthus was unmoved. Jepherson did not care either, but he still said, “My mother suffered a miscarriage when I was young. I was kidnapped and was nearly thrown down the cliff but my mother caught me. However, she was unable to save herself and eventually fell off the cliff. That’s how she miscarried. My sister was the most innocent person in an incident that should not have happened.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

This was a blow to my family.

Santiago and I were then sent for combat training.  We would always go home covered in bruises and cuts. My father would then ask us if we were willing to acquiesce, and we would say no. He would also ask us whether we wanted to give up, and we would shake our heads.

We might have been young, but we both knew that in this world, the weak are always the prey to the strong. If we aren’t able to protect ourselves and our family, then we are doomed.”
