Chapter 450 - Indirect

The driver didn't say anything although he was very scared. He had been shot once. As long as he could finish this task, Branden would never ill-treat him.

Ferne and "Joe" made gestures to each other and prepared to split up to search the villa. Noah frowned and said, "There should be alarms at the door and window. Be careful."

Ferne made a gesture. Then he bent over and got into the villa. Now even if Branden who was being watched by the police could rush over, they should have finished searching. If they didn't find anything, they would only be criticized. But what if ... they found something?

"Joe" failed to pry open the window. So, he climbed up along the wall and prepared to enter the villa through the window on the second floor. Ferne walked around the villa and vaguely saw a man standing under a tree not far away. It seemed like Noah.

Ferne was a little unhappy, "Damn it! Why did you go there?"

He had just walked a few steps towards the man when the man rushed over and kicked Ferne on the chest. Then, the man pressed his knee hard on Ferne’s abdomen.

Ferne was so painful that he lay on the ground and vomited. He coughed heavily and then shouted behind him, "Noa…"

Just then, he was knocked out.

Noah was asking the driver, but the driver would rather die than answer him. If Noah wasn't in a hurry to investigate the villa, he would have killed the driver.

He seemed to vaguely hear Ferne far away. He stood up and looked around, nothing but some reflective objects under the moon.

There came a light sound of footsteps. He put the dagger on the driver's neck, and the driver sat there obediently.

It was not Ferne's, nor Joe's. Noah saw "Joe" climb up the wall, so he should be inside the villa now.

Then ... who was this man?

Noah listened carefully with his back to the man and then escaped from the man’s sneak attack by turning aside. The man's hand was wrapped with iron. Noah could smell the rust.

He took a few steps back. The man didn't even give him time to react and quickly punched him. Noah lifted his leg to climb a few steps along the wall. Then, he rolled over and kicked the man on the head.

The man blocked it with his fist and staggered backward.

Noah finally saw him. The man in black was Branden's bodyguard. He looked ordinary but was good at fighting.

It was him who shot Christy.

Noah became angry. He took off his coat and threw it away, then he began to punch the man. The driver took the chance to run out with his hands behind his back. Being handcuffed, he couldn't drive. And he couldn't find the key to the handcuffs in Noah’s coat. He was just about to go to find the tools to open them when he saw Ferne lying on the ground under a tree. The driver hurried to search Ferne’s pockets.

Ferne really had the key in his pocket. But the driver couldn’t open the handcuffs because his hands were tied behind his back. So he walked to the bodyguard who was fighting with Noah and wanted to ask him for help when the fight was over.

At the same time, "Joe" had successfully reached the first floor of the villa and opened the door. As soon as he opened it, he vaguely saw a person lying on the ground. Then, he drew his gun and aimed at the man while looking around. Only then did he hear the sound of fighting.

He saw Noah and a man in black fighting. The driver stood aside with the key. "Joe" quickly stepped forward and kicked the driver to the ground. Then, he took out the handcuffs and wanted to handcuff the driver to the car, but the driver suddenly crashed towards "Joe" and used the handcuffs on his hands to ruthlessly hit "Joe's belly.

On the other side, Noah fought with his bodyguard for a while. The bodyguard realized that he had underestimated Noah, so he took out a gun from behind. Noah reacted quickly and kicked the gun away.

They started fighting over the gun, and "Joe" finally managed to subdue the driver. He was riding on the driver's body, and cuffed the driver's legs as well. The gun flew over, and he immediately reached out and tried to pick it up. The driver abruptly flipped over and kicked him.

At the same time, the bodyguard swiftly used his leg to sweep the gun in front of him. Then Noah and the bodyguard rolled on the ground and scrambled for the gun.

With a gunshot, the unconscious Ferne suddenly opened his eyes. He covered the back of his neck in pain and staggered towards the sound. Just as he arrived, he heard another gunshot.

"Noah ..." Ferne felt that something was wrong. Noah was staring at him while the bodyguard was standing opposite. The bodyguard punched Noah in the face when Noah was in a daze. Ferne shouted nervously, "Holy shit! What the hell are you doing! Punch him!"

Noah staggered back. He remembered that the bodyguard was holding a gun and immediately rolled over and grabbed the bodyguard's legs and threw him fiercely onto the ground. The bodyguard missed another shot. Just then, Noah kicked the gun away.

"Joe" shouted aside, "Ferne! You've been shot!"

Ferne looked down blankly, "No ... Ah." He touched his pure black T-shirt. Finally, he felt there was blood from his abdomen. "Shit, I wondered why it felt so warm."

The pain in the back of his neck abruptly disappeared, followed by burning pain in his abdomen. He gritted his teeth and moved a little. He was still dizzy, "Holy shit, why you shot me?" He shouted towards Noah, "Noah, did you do it on purpose?"

Noah's eyes had turned red. He thought that Ferne was fine because he could still stand and talk. After hearing what "Joe" shouted, he knew that Ferne had been shot. Suddenly, he violently leaned the bodyguard against the wall and smashed his head three times.

Afterward, he fiercely punched the bodyguard in the face and knocked him out.

"Joe" rushed over and cuffed the bodyguard to the driver's feet, and the driver's hands to the bodyguard's feet.

Anyway, these two wouldn’t be able to escape.

Noah quickly picked up the gun and walked to Ferne, "What do you think?"

Ferne leaned against the wall and clapped his hands, "The last punch was awesome."

Noah looked at his bleeding stomach and asked, "Ketchup?"

Ferne wanted to laugh, but he was too painful, "Damn, I would have worn a bulletproof vest. God damn it! Why does it hurt so much?"

Noah looked at him.

Ferne patted his lips gently, "Sorry about my language." He took a deep breath and said, "Noah, let me say it. Damn, it hurts. You guys search the house first. I'll sit here and have a rest."

He slowly slid down and sat on the ground. He searched his pockets and there was no cigarette case.

"Ferne, are you alright?" "Joe" ran over.

"I’m fine. Go and search the villa." Ferne waved to "Joe".

Noah was here, so "Joe" nodded and rushed in.

Ferne waved to Noah this time, "And you too. I'm here to watch these two guys. They can't run away." His face instantly turned much paler. It was really painful, but he still held onto it. He just wanted to smoke.

Noah took off his shirt and vest and pulled the vest into a long strip of cloth. Then, he wrapped it around Ferne's waist.

"Hey, give me a cigarette." Ferne raised his hand.

Noah went to pick up his coat and took out a cigarette and a lighter. Then, he covered Ferne with his coat. Instead of giving the cigarette to Ferne, he put one in his mouth and lit it. Then he handed it to Ferne.

Ferne lowered his head and mumbled, "What is the indirect kissing about? Kiss for real."

Probably Ferne had been shot in the brain, so he was crazy. Noah saw Randy's WeChat so he gave an indifferent response. He did not accept him, and that kiss was just acting.

Moreover...

Ferne lowered his head and saw the ring on his ring finger. He remembered Noah's cold smile before opening the door in the hotel room at the Forest Hot Springs.

Actually, Noah was very close to Ferne that he heard his mumbling clearly.

It was all dark. Only Ferne was breathing heavily. Noah's hand was not very steady, as if he was hesitating to throw the cigarette away, or kiss Ferne.

There came a car with two high beams. Noah immediately put on his shirt while standing up. The person in the car jumped off with the lights on. It was a .... woman.
