Chapter 684 - A Help From A Stranger
Liam was offering Titania help. He realized that someone was targeting them. He wondered who sent the sniper to kill Titania. He saw it. The sniper was aiming at Titania, not Zu Wan.
Thinking about the safety of her daughter, Titania didn't hesitate to accept Liam's help.
"Yes, we will come with you. Please help us."
The moment Titania said that, Zu Wan arched his eyebrows. He didn't want to depend on this stranger. He wanted to protect the mother and daughter by himself.
However, since Titania already agreed, Zu Wan had no choice but to follow them.
Liam made a phone call, contacting the police again. Since their enemy was just an ordinary human, he should handle things according to the law. He would let the police handle this case for now.
But he would ensure to protect them. He got hit on his arm and he was already bleeding. He could heal himself but he couldn't do it now since he was still in front of Titania, Zu Wan, and Ella.
After reporting the current shooting incident to the police, Liam called Leo again, informing him that he would bring some visitors to his villa. Leo didn't complain. He just agreed with Liam.
Soon, they could hear the siren of the police patrol cars outside. The sniper stopped shooting at them. Since the police were already involved, the sniper took the chance to escape.
The police saw the hole inside the house, including the bullets scattered on the floor. The sniper was too reckless by shooting without a clear view of his target.
Liam explained the situation to the police before leaving the house together with Titania, Zu Wan, and Ella.
Just a few minutes after they left, Tristan arrived at the house and saw the police cordoning the area.
"Police Officers, what happened here?" Tristan asked them curiously.
"There was a shooting incident here. A sniper trying to kill someone who is living in this house," the police officer explained to Tristan.
"What? Where are they? Are they safe? Did someone get hurt?" Tristan asked them with a worried tone.
"A man got shot in his shoulder and they left right away to go to the hospital to treat his wound."
Tristan had complicated emotions on his face after hearing that. Who got shot?
Yesterday, he asked agent Phoenix to investigate the patient who looked like FaMo or his father-in-law. Phoenix got the hospital record of Zu Wan including his address. Titania used her residence as Zu Wan's address in the patient's profile.
Tristan was shocked when he saw the name of the patient in the medical record of the hospital. It was also Zu Wan. FaMo used that name when he was in his human form.
He didn't think that this was just a pure coincidence. So after hearing Agent Phoenix's report, Tristan decided to visit Zu Wan at his address.
Who would have thought that he would miss meeting him again today? They just left the house the moment he arrived. Since Liam was in a hurry, he forgot to give his contact to the police.
It was Titania who gave the police her statement about the threat she received the other night and today.
"Father-in-law, is that you? Where are you now? Why can't you recognize me?" Tristan mumbled to himself as he peered at the house one last time.
He decided to check the nearby hospital whether they went there for treatment. But Liam didn't go to the hospital. They went straight to Leo's Villa. He already stopped his bleeding.
When they arrived, Leo welcomed them right away. Leo and Liam exchanged meaningful glances with one another. Liam went to his room to treat his wound while Leo accommodated Titania, Ella, and Zu Wan.
"I heard your situation from Liam. You can stay here for the time being. I assure you that this villa is safe for you. No one will try to kill you here," Leo reassured them.
They were talking in the living room. He prepared tea for them. Titania needed it to calm down and relax. It was a traumatic event for her to be targeted twice without knowing the real reason.
She was suspecting CEO Miller. But she didn't have proof.
"Sorry for bothering you both. We have nowhere else to go. Though I am embarrassed, I have no choice but to accept this kindness since my daughter's safety is my priority," Titania said truthfully to Leo.
"Don't worry Titania. We are glad to help you. I will take you to the guest room. I prepared two rooms for you. A room for your daughter, and a room for you and your husband."
Titania was taken aback when she heard that. 'A room for me and Zu Wan? He mistook us as husband and wife since Ella is calling Zu Wan her father.'
She wanted to correct it but she didn't like to appear that she was taking advantage of their kindness by asking for another room for them. She would just ask Ella to sleep with her while Zu Wan would stay in the other room intended for Ella.
Titania felt comfortable with Liam and Leo as she felt that they were good men. They had pure intention in helping them so she didn't doubt them.
But it was Zu Wan who was not at ease being with Liam. He felt like something was gonna happen when he stayed with him.
*****
Meanwhile, in the Miller's Company Building, Mr. Miller received a call from his hired man. The other night, they failed to eliminate Titania so Mr. Miller hired another person to kill her in her house.
"So how did it go? Is the woman dead by now?" Mr. Miller asked the sniper.
"I'm sorry, Boss. The woman got away again today. The police arrived at her place so I had to pull out and escape. There was a man who helped her. I shot the wrong guy as he used his own body to shield the woman against my bullet."
"Damnit! That woman is so lucky to stay alive! You didn't do your job well! She is just a woman but you can't even kill her. Find her! Finish your mission!"
