Chapter 3 Sudden Rescue

"Take him away!"

The captain snapped his fingers as two policemen came forward and put Randall in handcuffs.

They were so ruthless. They gagged Randall and put a black bag over his head. Afterward, they dragged him out of the hospital.

Randall was shoved into a police car.

When the black bag was removed, the light from a table lamp stung Randall's eyes.

With time, he got used to it. He looked around and found himself in a narrow interrogation room.

Augustus Griffin, the police captain who had arrested him, was sitting opposite him.

He eyed Randall with a sinister smirk.

All of a sudden, he slammed a document with a red seal on the table.

"Boy, serious allegations have been leveled against you. And the evidence is damning. If you know what's good for you, sign this paper quickly. Behave yourself. Otherwise, you will suffer more!"

Augustus took out his pistol and placed it on the table. The threat was obvious.

Randall picked up the document and looked through it.

The document contained a detailed report of how he attempted to rape Tonya and kill Perry.

Randall's eyes glistened with sadness after he read the report. He sighed deeply.

"Officer, I'm actually the victim in this case. How come I'm being labeled as the suspect? Is this because Perry is rich? Since when have rich people become above the law?"

Randall had held out hope that the law would come to his aid. But it seemed that was impossible now.

Augustus snorted. "You shouldn't have stepped on Perry's toes. You deserve what is coming at you. Cut the crap and sign it now! If you don't sign it, I'll blow off your brains!"

Augustus picked up his pistol and pointed it at Randall's forehead.

Unfazed by that threat, Randall yelled, "You are so corrupt! As an officer of the law, it's your duty to make sure people get justice. But you want to frame me and kill me. Don't you have any conscience?"

Augustus sneered. "Shut up, you rapist! I can just kill you here and say that you tried to attack me. Who do you think people will believe, you or me?"

Randall closed his eyes and took a deep breath, pretending to be helpless now.

"Yes, people will take your word for it. No one will seek justice for me. But..."

Randall picked up the document and smiled.

"I won't own up to what I didn't do!"

His fingers tightened around the paper.

In the blink of an eye, the document was torn into pieces.

"Bastard, do you want to die?" Augustus roared, staring daggers at him.

With a look of boldness, Randall stared back at him. He pointed at his forehead. "Go on. Kill me," he said slowly.

Randall's parents had vanished into thin air. His girlfriend, who was his source of joy, dumped him for someone else.

His dream to become a successful doctor was dashed since he was now disabled.

Randall had nothing now, so he didn't see the point of living. He wanted to end it all.

Augustus grinned wickedly when he heard that statement. "Fine, I'll grant your wish!"

He then cocked the gun and placed his index finger on the trigger.

"Don't you dare!"

Suddenly, the door of the interrogation room was kicked open.

A tall and busty woman dressed in a black suit strode in.

Behind her were the sheriff of the police station and a dozen policemen.

Augustus stood upright and saluted the sheriff. "Sir, I'm currently interrogating this hardened criminal. To what do I owe your visit?"

"Humph!"

The sheriff snatched the pistol from Augustus' hand.

He then aimed it at Augustus' legs.

The next second, he pulled the trigger.

"Ah!" Augustus let out a shrill cry after he was shot twice in a row. He collapsed to the floor.

With a fiery fire in his eyes, the sheriff shouted, "Let it be known that Augustus Griffin was caught embezzling police funds and collecting bribes. He even attempted to hurt me with his gun. He's stripped of his title. Lock him up as he awaits trial!"

The sheriff gestured at the policemen, who rushed in and dragged Augustus away.

Afterward, he personally unlocked the handcuffs on Randall's wrists and said respectfully, "Mr. Carter, I'm sorry for what happened. I take the blame for it. I should have trained my subordinate well."

At this moment, the sheriff was nothing like how he was when he punished Augustus.

Humility mixed with a tinge of fear was written all over his face.

Randall was too stunned to speak. His eyes fell on the woman who stood out in the crowd.

He had a hunch in his guts. He suspected that she had a hand in turning the tide.

Sure enough, he was right.

The sheriff bowed respectfully to the woman and uttered, "Miss Vance, sorry for the hassle. You can take Mr. Carter away."

"Okay." Amari pulled Randall and walked out of the police station. He followed her like a puppet.

Only when they got to the parking lot did Randall summon the courage to ask, "Who are you?"

Amari stopped dead in her tracks. She turned to look at him with her eyebrows raised. "My identity is not important now. Follow me, and I will make everything clear to you. Now, you need to answer one question. Do you want to get back at Perry?"
