Chapter 588 This is so annoying!
Right now, at the entrance of the old, abandoned palace, on the grassy field.
Four or five guys were lying there, stripped down to nothing.
They were writhing around like worms.
Each one was bruised and battered, their skin covered in nasty contusions.
It was clear—they'd been beaten up!
Rex! Ryder was sure of it.
But his unease was growing and he rushed inside.
There he saw Rex, along with Barbara and Anna.
Barbara was lying in Rex's arms, eyes closed, completely still.
Her clothes were a mess, her hair all tangled and damp, while Rex's chest was soaked in blood!
Anna staggered over to Ryder.
Her tear-filled eyes were full of blame and dissatisfaction towards him.
She raised her hand and slapped Ryder hard across the face.
She wanted to say something, but her voice was so hoarse it was unintelligible.
But Ryder seemed to get it.
Anna was probably saying, "Barbara trusted you so much, why did you come so late?"
Ryder said nothing and took the slap.
He deserved it. He had let Sarah down, and he had failed Barbara's trust!
If he had known they were coming to the park for photos, he would have had Rex accompany them for safety, not just a few random security guards.
Anna got even more upset, crying louder.
Ryder tried to comfort her, "Don't worry, I will make everyone who harmed Barbara pay!"
Anna shook her head.
She was so anxious she stomped her foot.
She bit her finger until it bled and then wrote a message on her clothes: [hospital].
Ryder's eyes lit up. Anna was a medical student and pretty skilled.
"Rex, quick, take Barbara to the hospital! There's still hope!" Ryder said to Rex excitedly.
"Ryder, really?" Rex's eyes lit up too.
Ryder nodded.
In the next second, Rex picked up Barbara and ran out.
Ryder and Anna followed closely behind.
But just as they reached the entrance, Anna stopped.
Ryder frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Anna pointed to the men lying on the ground, anxiously making several muffled sounds.
Ryder nodded, indicating he understood.
He then took out his phone and dialed 911.
"Hello, yes! I'm reporting a case! This is the entrance of the abandoned palace in Rainbow Valley Park, there's a kidnapping case here."
After reporting to the police, Ryder looked at Anna again, "Alright, the bad guys have been punished, let's go! You need to see a doctor for your throat too."
Anna's response was another slap to Ryder's face.
Ryder looked at Anna in disbelief.
This Anna, still as stubborn and willful as when she was a kid?
But then Anna did something even more outrageous.
She walked directly towards the men lying on the grass, even though they were completely naked.
Ryder quickly grabbed Anna's wrist. "What are you doing? They're kidnappers! Doctors saving lives is one thing, but these scum of society aren't worth it!"
Anna hesitated. Then she stomped her foot hard.
She shook off Ryder's grip, and ran towards the men. Yet she stumbled halfway, falling to the ground, her ankle clearly twisted.
Her ankle was completely twisted!
However, she got up, limping, still heading towards the men!
Ryder saw this and helplessly held his forehead.
Was Anna so obsessed with medicine that she had lost her mind?
Or had Ken's actions driven her crazy?
Among those men, if he wasn't mistaken, were Ken and Tyler!
These heartless bastards should be punished by the law.
Tired of watching Anna's antics, Ryder stepped forward and delivered a karate chop.
Anna turned, glaring at Ryder with fierce eyes, then rolled her eyes and fainted.
Ryder caught Anna and carried her in a princess hold, heading down the mountain.
The next day in the hospital.
Regarding last night's park kidnapping case, based on Anna's statement, Ken, Brady, and others were arrested, while Tyler and his group were released without charges. Rex, who had injured Tyler's group without understanding the situation, was fined ten thousand dollars.
When Ryder learned of this outcome, he was incredulous.
So what exactly happened last night?
The police told Ryder, "Mr. Clark, based on surveillance footage, Anna's statement, and our investigation into Ken and Brady's case, the evidence shows that Mr. Young acted heroically! But your bodyguard Rex attack them without understanding the situation. Fortunately, the Young family didn't press charges for intentional injury and defamation, otherwise, it wouldn't just be a ten thousand dollar fine."
He couldn't believe Tyler was so kind.
But the compensation had to be paid in full.
After paying the money, Ryder went to Anna's hospital room.
Some things needed to be clarified.
However, when Anna saw Ryder, her previously calm face instantly turned ugly.
Ryder sighed inwardly and handed over a phone.
"I know you can't speak right now. I'll ask, and you type your answers."
Anna angrily took the phone. She started typing, looking like she wanted to smash the phone.
Ryder didn't speak first, waiting for Anna.
When Anna finished typing, Ryder saw a long message:
[Are you guys idiots? Can't even tell good from bad! Last night, Barbara resisted and Ken hit her hard on the back of the head. If Tyler hadn't arrived in time, Ken would have killed Barbara! And you and Rex beat Tyler and his men half to death and stripped them!]
[And you, Ryder, Barbara really misplaced her trust in you! For a lifesaver like Tyler, even if you have business conflicts, work is work, life is life. You knocked me out just because I couldn't speak to stop you. You're terrifying! I'll make sure Barbara stays away from you!]
[Alright, I've said everything I needed to. If there's nothing else, get lost! I'm so fed up! Every day is full of annoying things!]
Tyler became a hero?
After handing the phone back to Ryder, Anna covered her face with the blanket.
Clearly, she didn't want to say another word to Ryder.
Last night, she was really on the verge of a breakdown. Rex had been like an idiot, beating people indiscriminately.
And because she had screamed so much earlier, her vocal cords were damaged, leaving her helpless.
Ryder did "better"—he knocked her out, thinking she was crazy just because she couldn't speak.
