Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy by Inked Snow Chapter 1718
Hunter bit his lip, hesitating. However, the sound of the sirens appeared to be getting closer and closer, as though the police had already arrived at the hospital entrance.
Because of this, Hunter had no choice but to follow these two men.
The two men brought him into the toilet, where they changed into janitor’s uniforms and instructed him to squat inside a gigantic trash can. Then, they piled some garbage over him, put the lid on, and wheeled him out of the toilet.
Inside the trash can, Hunter cocked his head, listening for sounds outside as he inhaled the stench of rotting garbage.
After a few moments, he heard the sound of uniform footsteps, along with the voices of the police officers. ”We’ve received a tip that Hunter Quinn is inside this hospital right now, and he probably hasn’t left yet. We’ll go ahead with plan A: Jackie, you’ll knock on the door later and…”
The sound of these police officers’ voices made Hunter break out in cold sweat.
Soon, the two men dressed as janitors wheeled the trash can to the hospital’s back door.
Just as Hunter thought he was safe—
”Wait.” A man’s voice rang out all of a sudden, followed by the sound of footsteps.
The chief of police and his men sprinted towards the trash can. ”What’s inside this?”
”It’s trash.”
”Trash?” The chief of police, Officer Wilson, sneered. ”Someone must be hiding inside this trash can, isn’t it?”
With that, he pulled open the lid of the trash can, revealing Hunter’s shocked face.
”Let’s go, quick!” Before Hunter could even fathom what was going on, the two men pulled him out of the trash can and into the car quicker than the speed of light.
Officer Wilson narrowed his eyes. ”Go after them!”
With that, a few police cars began zipping down the city roads, chasing after a car.
”Thank you.” In the backseat of the car, Hunter could not stop thanking the two men that had saved him as he wiped himself clean of all the debris. ”If it weren’t for you, I would’ve been captured by the police by now.”
The two men exchanged glances, then chuckled. ” There’s no need to thank us; we’ve been paid to do this, after all. If anything, you should thank Mr. Lynch.
”Even though he has always been enemies with the Quinn family, he was still willing to pay us a hefty amount of money to rescue you.”
Hunter bit his lip.
He knew that the reason Joshua had sent these men to save him was not that he truly wanted to save him but because Luna would be released from jail if he were to get arrested by the police.
Joshua Lynch would rather let Luna take the fall and be imprisoned indefinitely than let her become the new CEO of Landry Group.
Even though Hunter was unsure of Joshua’s motives, this man had still rescued him, as opposed to his cousin brother Malcolm, his grandmother, and the rest of the Quinn family…
Hunter let out a sigh. ”I can’t possibly let Joshua Lynch rescue me for no reason, can I?
”Please help me tell him that he and Luna’s child hasn’t died at all, and instead, Malcolm had ordered me to switch out the child when she was born, so his daughter is actually still alive.”
The two men murmured in approval, frowning, and finally managed to get rid of the police cars that were hot on their trail.
They brought Hunter to a basement and ordered, ” It’s very safe here, so don’t worry; wait here while we go out to buy you some necessities.”
Hunter nodded, and after the two men left, he waited patiently in the room and could not help lamenting why considerate people Joshua’s men were.
A short while later, someone knocked on the basement door.
Thinking that the men had returned, Hunter quickly went to get the door. To his surprise, the person standing outside was…
