CH 25 ~ Protect

Rennie lets out a heavy sigh before she gets away from Alex's embrace, as it's not the time for her to get scared.

They need to face the situation.

"My bodyguards should be behind us, i will call for help-"

Rennie pauses on her words as her eyes fall on the pistol in Alex's hands and their gaze meets each others.

"Instead of going around with a group of bodyguards like CEO Millicent, i prefer to lay low and carry a pistol; for safety matters."

Alex lied as he didn't wanted her to know about the undercover government army yet.

He still had a ongoing big project and didn't wanted to put her in danger by revealing everything.

As a lot of underground organisations are going after this project, which involve weapon technology and they want to get it before the government.

Alex had been carefully laid low by avoid events which would make him the focus of the attention, specially by not taking over the CEO position yet.

He wants to secure the project first, before telling Rennie about his identity.

So that even if someone digs up informations about him and tries to harm her, they will get nothing as she doesn't know about it.

Rennie choose to stay silent, even if she wasn't convince by the reason Alex gave her and her eyes glued to the pistol on his hands.

'9mm Caliber, 3.35 inch barrel length and 5.1 inch overall length- Bond Arms Bullpup9... Which innovative personal-defense pistol that operates using a unique bullpup-style operating system.'

'Unlike traditional semi-automatic pistols that strip rounds to the front of the magazine, This gun actually extracts rounds from the rear.'

'This allows for a much longer barrel to be used in a smaller platform suitable for pocket carry..'

'But the proprietary design of the magazines, and only certain kinds of ammunition can be used in the this gun.'

'If bullets aren't crimped tightly enough, the extraction of the round from the magazine can mechanically disassemble the round inside the gun.'

'Also, only a limited number of guns are produced by Bond Arms each month... This gun isn't easy to get or use, unless it's a professional user;'

Rennie felt a heavy in her heart for a moment but then she recalled how she is hiding her own shady past from him.

So, even if he hides something from him; she can't blame him as she is also doing the same.

'Let's focus on the ongoing situation first...'

"Neil, Try to break through."

Rennie said to Neil, who was trying his best to get rid of the cars behind them.

"I don't think it's a good idea to breakthrough them, they are everywhere and came prepared!"

Neil spoke as he gritted his teeth, sensing that they will soon be surrounded by the enemy.

"2 infront on the right, 1 on the left, There are at least 2 people behind... Move on the 4 o'clock direction then!"

Aex, who was aiming at the cars behind them paused for a moment as he heard Rennie's words, who gasped the situation in a short moment.

"...But there's cliff at least 10 meters high in that direction, We will die!"

Neil spoke as he started to panic more because of the situation.

No matter what, he just couldn't calm down as they have never meet such high professional killers.

Moreover, there is no reason for them to aim at Alex, who is still a President of a Corporation; which has nothing to do with the army.

'Unless... There target isn't Sir, but-'

"Move, let me do it."

Rennie spoke as she bent over and tapped on Neil's shoulder to exchange theit seats.

Without thinking much Neil moved to the passenger seat, while Rennie controlled the steering wheel before moving to the driving seat.

Alex wanted to refuse as it was dangerous, but the situation was worse. He couldn't refute her and just let her drive the car.

"Be careful... Don't hurt yourself;"

"Mnn.."

Rennie hummed in reply as Alex told her to be careful, observing his hands which was loading the magazines fast and professionally.

Both of them was dealing with the situation like they are used to it; unlike a normal secretary and boss, where they would normally panic if they face a situation like this.

A car behind them blasted as Alex finally succeeded to aim at all the tires and oil tank continually.

Rennie's grip over the steering wheel tightened as she couldn't suppress the rising suspension in her heart, which came from her sixth sense that her husband isn't as simple as he seems.

Till now, she didn't cared much about his identity but now she can't help but get curious.

"Sit tight!"

Rennie's light brown eyes narrowed as she spoke to the other two people with her voice filled of coldness.

She step on the accelerator as she broke the through the mountain road's safety barriers in full spread.

The car went off from the ground as it flipped a few times before it landed under the mountain ground.

"Rennieeh!"

Alex scream her name as soon as the car was on the ground again and bent over to check on her.

"A-Am fine..."

Rennie replied as she touched her bleeding forehead and Alex frowned.

Compared to how she drove the car, her wound was really nothing; proving her professionalism on how expert she is.

Others would already be dead if they were at her place to fly a car off a mountain.

But all she got was a minor head injury as she accidentally hit her head hard during the flip.

Thus, she was falling unconscious slowly because of feeling dizzy.

Alex wanted to check on her wound but Rennieeh stopped him from touching her as they had to hurriedly get out from the car.

No matter how strong the car protection was, it's a normal car afterall.

It was already at it's limit after taking over so many bullets; not to mention her flying it down with so many flips.

But Alex misunderstood it as she didn't wanted him to touch her, as she had made it clear since the incident of that day.

'I only wanted to check her wound,'

'Does she hate my touch that much..?'

"Sir, the car might get blasted. Perhaps, Madame is telling you to come down first and then take her out..."

Neil spoke as he got that the Alex misunderstood Rennie's gesture, who couldn't talk because of the wound on her forehead.

Alex didn't spoke anything and get off the car first, before he carried her out.

'Why do i always reach a conclusion so fast?'

'I became so tensed after seeing her injured that i totally forgot about the chances of the car explosion...'

He put her down in a shielded place on the ground carefully, so that she doesn't gets hurt anymore.

"Sir, i have called the helicopter... But it will take time-"

"Then bring out them from the car, we can only take care of those people by it."

"But, Madame-"

Neil hesitated as he wondered how they will answer Rennie for having sniper guns in the car.

"She is unconscious... Won't notice,"

Alex spoke before he looked at Rennie with concern filled his blue eyes, and wiped her wound with his handkerchief carefully to stop the bleeding.

'It's my turn to protect you now, Ren!'
