Falling For My Ex's Uncle - Chapter 296: Chapter 296

Just as I was about to push open the door and walk out of the restaurant, a figure suddenly stood behind me. There was a cold dagger at the back of my waist. The coldness instantly penetrated my clothes and reached my skin.
My body suddenly stiffened, and my heart skipped a beat. At the same time, my brain was working rapidly.
There were many people coming and going in the restaurant. The appointed time was arranged by Kailyn. The man who could appear here could not be the killer who kidnapped me last time. If the other party really wanted to kill me, he could have killed me when I was off guard.
There was no way he would go through so much trouble to hold me hostage with a dagger.
"Don't make a sound and follow us obediently." The man's low voice came from behind with a hint of fierceness and nervousness.
I nodded obediently. From the corner of my eye, I saw someone else beside me, watching my every move covetously.
Just as the two of them were about to drag me to the back door of the restaurant where a black van was parked, I suddenly turned sideways and quickly grabbed the man's wrist with my left hand. I twisted it hard.
The man hissed and almost dropped the dagger in pain.
I took the opportunity to snatch the dagger and stabbed him three times in the thigh and arm without hesitation. I was fast and accurate, deliberately avoiding vital parts. Every stab was accompanied by his scream.
At this moment, the surrounding crowd erupted into screams. The two bodyguards who had been following me rushed over from afar.
When Sophina and Lawrence couldn't see me, they got out of the car immediately and followed the bodyguards in.
The staff in the restaurant and a few bold customers widened their eyes and looked at the two men lying on the ground with extremely shocked expressions.
A person asked, "What's going on with these two? Are they fighting?"
Another said, "The way I see it, they are fighting over a woman."
I frowned slightly and blinked at the guests who were discussing excitedly. It's surprising that no one cared if I was hurt.
When Kailyn and Austin saw Sophina running over, they followed closely behind.
When Sophina saw that I was covered in blood, his face instantly turned as pale as paper, and his body swayed. If Lawrence hadn't caught her in time, she would have collapsed to the ground.
At this moment, I looked at the man who was moaning on the ground and said calmly, "Call an ambulance, or he will die."
"What... What's going on?" Kailyn asked in a trembling voice. Her eyes were filled with panic as she stared at the blood on the ground. She could not look away as if she was nailed.
I threw the blood-stained dagger to the side and took a deep breath to calm my heart. I looked up at her and said coldly, "Kailyn, stop pretending."
Panic flashed in her eyes as she mumbled, "I... I really don't know how this happened."
She grabbed the hem of her dress with both hands, her knuckles white. She looked at me weakly and helplessly, as if she had suffered a great grievance.
I snorted and walked straight toward her, my every step scrutinizing.
When I got closer, I leaned over slightly and stared into her eyes. "You asked me to come here," I said, enunciating each word clearly, "They wanted to kidnap me, so I took care of them. If you don't know anything, I can find out the information from them."
Kailyn averted her gaze and subconsciously took a step back. She bit her lower lip, and her eyes turned red. She said with a sobbing tone, "I really didn't do anything. How could you accuse me like this?"
Not long after, the sirens of ambulances and police cars approached. The medical staff rushed over and carried the injured kidnapper into the car on a stretcher.
The police quickly gathered around and began to investigate the scene and ask about the situation.
A capable-looking police officer walked up to me with a serious expression. "Miss Parks, please follow us back to the police station to make a statement."
I nodded slightly, but my gaze was still fixed on Kailyn. My lips curled into a chilling smile.
When we arrived at the police station, the incandescent lights were dazzling.
I sat in a chair in the interrogation room and tapped my fingers on the table, replaying every detail of what had happened.
After a while, the door was pushed open. The police officer from before came in with a notebook and sat opposite me.
"Tell me in detail about the situation at that time, starting from before you got into the car." His gaze was focused, and the pen in his hand was already prepared.
I leaned against the back of the chair and slowly said, "I was about to get into the car when a dagger was suddenly pressed against my waist. Those two people clearly came prepared and wanted to get me into the car. However, I took the opportunity to snatch the knife and counterattack."
The police officer took notes and asked, "You suspect that Miss Shepherd was the one who instigated it. Do you have any evidence?"
I crossed my arms and thought for a moment. "After she asked me to meet her, the kidnapper appeared just as I was about to leave. Isn't it too much of a coincidence? Who else could it be?"
Just as I walked out of the interrogation room, I saw Alex striding toward me.
He suppressed his anger and walked to my side. "Are you injured? Why did you come out? Don't you know that it's dangerous outside?"
At this moment, Officer Alfie Watts, who was standing at the side, coughed awkwardly.
I remembered him. He was Marvin Adams's classmate when he was in the police academy. He was also the one who dealt with the last kidnapping case.
Although he wanted to say that Newton City was actually quite safe, since I had been kidnapped several times, he did not have the courage to speak up even if he wanted to.
"I'm fine." I beamed at Alex.
I knew very well that this kind of thing would happen if I wanted to return to the Parks family.
However, I did not expect Kailyn to be so stupid that she would do it herself.
However, for me, it was something worth celebrating that I had dirt on someone from the Parks family.
"I'm hungry." I raised my head and smiled brightly at Alex, as if I didn't care about what had just happened.
Alex frowned slightly and asked in a strange voice, "Do you still have an appetite?"
I gave him a sidelong glance and nodded unceremoniously. "It took me a lot of energy!"
No one could believe that the person who had knocked down the two burly men and almost killed them was this seemingly weak woman in front of them.
When I got into Alex's car, the scene in the restaurant and my conversation with Kailyn were posted online.
At this moment, the Internet was filled with curses.
A person commented: [I've never seen such a shameless person. She said that she wanted to compensate her daughter, but she actually wants to eliminate her.]
Another person wrote: [Is this still the modern place we are living? I thought there were no laws anymore.]
Someone else said, [Fuck! People these days are getting worse and worse.]
