Chapter 1432 - Shooting On The Streets Of Capital (1/2)

At ten o’clock in the evening, in a hotel less than one kilometer from K Street, Jacob Wood carried a briefcase, walked out of the elevator hastily, and left the elegantly renovated lobby.

He looked haggard, and he had barely closed his eyes since yesterday. One call after another hit his phone, and each one of them was all from significant individuals. Out of helplessness and panic, he turned off his phone, ran away from his apartment, and hid in this hotel.

He didn’t understand why those people had to find him and not anyone else.

His work, career, family, and personal relationships were all ruined because of that one article. There was no doubt he got caught in a political turmoil. Based on his experience, occupations such as journalists, private investigators, and hackers would not have the besting ending once they get caught in a political turmoil.

He didn’t understand why these people are reacting so negatively just over one article.

Originally, he planned to stay here for a few more days, but after he went outside at lunch, he found that someone had been in his room, and he also found a bug on the bedside table. Obviously, he couldn’t stay here any longer. He decided to go to C State to stay with his brother until the limelight passed.

A Ford slowly stopped on the edge of the road.

The door of the driver’s seat opened, and a man in a suit with a buzz cut stepped down and walked straight to Wood.

“Hello, are you Mr. Jacob Wood?”

When Wood heard the polite question, he subconsciously wanted to answer yes, but he quickly recovered, slightly bowed down his head, and lowered his voice.

“No, you found the wrong person.”

“Really?” The man glanced around, took out a picture from his sleeve, and glanced at Wood with a sly smile.

The way that man looked at him made Wood quite uncomfortable, especially when he took out a photo to compare him. Just as Wood frowned and was about to get angry, two black men in suits stood behind him and blocked his path of escape.

A drop of cold sweat dripped down from his forehead, and at the same time, a lowered voice sounded behind him.

“I advise you to cooperate with us, we still can discuss this.”

When Wood heard the crackling noise from the fist behind him, Wood nervously swallowed the dry lump in his throat.

“What do you want?”

“Nothing, we just want to have a nice chat with you,” the man in the suit smiled as he said, “If you don’t want something unpleasant to happen, then you’d better follow us into the car—”

The man did not finish his sentence when a Hummer suddenly appeared from the corner.

The two fog lights were turned on, and with the deafening sound of friction, the Hummer rammed towards them.

Without any hesitation, the man in the suit dove to the side, while the other two men also ran with their eyes covered. As for Jacob Wood, who they previously surrounded, he was completely disregarded.

For them, it did not matter if Wood was dead or not.

Of course, it was preferred to control him and have him help them in the future, but if he did die, they could also use his death to their advantage.

However, the Hummer that seemed to be out of control didn’t hit Wood as the man in the suit thought, but suddenly turned around and hit one of the bodyguards.
