You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1710: Getting News in Advance

The shooting incident was a big deal, so Darrin proactively contacted the Police Headquarters while on the road.

After arriving at the Police Headquarters, they were met by an officer specially assigned to handle their case and make a record of

the incident.

The officer's last nwas Booth, and upon seeing Joyce, his first words were, "Are you the General? I've heard so much about

you. Please have a seat inside. Mr. Gregory has already informed us to keep the record simple."

Joyce was taken aback. "Mr. Gregory? Karl?"

The internal information within the police department spread quickly. It had reached Karl's ears so soon, especially considering it

was already late at night.

"Yes," the sergeant nodded.

"It's quite late, and it's just a minor matter. Do you really have to bother Mr. Gregory?" Darrin exclaimed in astonishment.

"Oh, no, that's not it. Mr. Gregory informed each substation a few days ago. If any matters concerning the General arise, each

substation has been assigned an officer specifically for reception. After we finish recording, we will also inform Mr. Gregory," Officer

Zhang explained.

Joyce and Darrin exchanged glances.

Darrin coughed lightly. "So, Mr. Gregory is indeed Mr. Gregory. He plans everything so thoughtfully." He had often heard people

mention Karl's meticulousness and attention to detail, and now he had witnessed it firsthand. Even though Karl wasn't in Khebury,

his jurisdiction was still in place.

Joyce rubbed her temples, realizing that Karl must have known about the shooting incident at the ice cream shop, which was why

he made these arrangements. She didn't want to bother him with her own issues and wanted him to focus on taking care of

Juanita. However, it seemed she had still managed to trouble him.

"Alright, let's finish the record as soon as possible. | want to get hearly," Joyce said.

Joyce sat down in the VIP reception room.

The sergeant brought a laptop to record their statements and even made coffee for them.

Darrin recounted the incident, and the sergeant was responsible for recording. In the middle of the recording, the sergeant

suddenly received a phone call.

After answering the call, the sergeant said to Joyce, "General, our officers have just arrived at the location you mentioned. There

are indeed signs of tire friction on the ground, and we found a few shell casings at the scene. They have been collected for

comparison with your handgun. However, the vehicles that were shot at have already been moved, and the surveillance cameras

around the entrances and exits have been destroyed. At the moment, we have yet to identify the mastermind behind this

incident."

"Heh heh, they're fast," Darrin commented, clicking his tongue. "The other party is definitely a large-scale organization. They're

handling the aftermath very systematically."

"Yes," Joyce agreed. Whoever they were, they were certainly not ordinary.

She looked at the sergeant. "That's alright. Let's continue with the record."

"Alright, General," the sergeant continued to record their statements.

In the second half of the record, Joyce personally narrated. After finishing, Joyce stood up, signed the document, and left with

Darrin.

Darrin checked his watch. "It's getting late. Anderson is probably already asleep."

After Joyce got into the car and fastened her seatbelt, she said, "Yes, let's go back. We'll take the car for maintenance and tire

replacement tomorrow."

Darrin drove, carrying Joyce back to the Warner residence.

Upon returning home, Joyce was surprised to find that Anderson hadn't gone to bed yet.

"Anderson, it's already half past ten. Why aren't you asleep? Aren't you tired?" Joyce quickly took off her coat and handed it to

Darrin, then walked over and picked Anderson up from the couch.

"Mummy, | took a bath, but | can't fall asleep," Anderson rubbed his eyes. "Why did you cback so late? | was a little worried

about you."

Anderson, who had experienced the shooting incident, was sensitive. It wasn't that he was afraid of the ice cream shop assailant.

Rather, it reminded him of the terrifying memory on the rooftop of the harbor parking lot. That evil woman had almost thrown him

off the roof. Whenever he thought about it, he felt scared.

Joyce gently stroked the back of Anderson's head. "Mummy had something happen tonight, which delayed me. Don't worry, Uncle

Darrin has been with Mummy the whole time, and he will protect Mummy."

Anderson reached out and hugged Joyce. "Mummy, let's sleep together tonight."

Darrin put away Joyce's belongings and said to them, "General, you should rest early. I'll go back to my room first."

After speaking, Darrin waved at Anderson and turned toleave.

"Mummy, why hasn't Daddy chthese past few days? Did you two have a fight?" Anderson raised his little face and asked.

"| feel like something's not right. Daddy doesn't usually act like this. No matter what happens, he would at least call me. But

recently, he's been acting strange.”

Joyce was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

She tapped Anderson's temple. "What's going on in that little head of yours? Why would we have a fight?"

Anderson pouted. "Nothing, | just feel like something's off. Daddy is my Daddy, after all. No matter what happens, he would

definitely call me. But lately, he's been acting weird."

Joyce's brow twitched. Anderson was indeed very sensitive. It wasn't easy to hide things from him.

She decided to be direct. "Anderson, | think Daddy must have encountered something difficult. He doesn't want us to worry. We

won't bother him, which is the best support we can give him. If he needs our help, | believe he will ask for it. What do you think?"

Anderson yawned. "Of course. He's my Daddy, after all. Mummy, I'm sleepy. | want to go to sleep."

"Alright. Mummy will tuck you in," Joyce carried Anderson to the bed, placed him down, turned off the lights, and comforted him to

sleep.

Cuddled in his mother's arms, Anderson soon felt drowsy and fell asleep within minutes.

After Anderson fell asleep, Joyce went to the bathroom and took a bath.

Her phone sat on the side, and she stared at the silent screen, lost in thought. It was already past eleven at night, and Luther still

hadn't cback or called or texted her.

She couldn't help but ponder, what could he be doing?

Pushing the thought aside, she finished her bath and immediately lay down next to Anderson. She planned to meet Christian in the

afternoon, and after a busy night, she was tired. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep.

She slept until midnight.

Suddenly, her phone began ringing in the quiet room. One after another, the urgent sounds made her heart pound. The screen

suddenly lit up, radiating an unusual light in the dark.

She opened her eyes wide, sitting up alertly.

Her first thought was, did Luther contact her?

She quickly picked up her phone from the bedside table and, in the darkness, saw the caller ID, causing her to pause.

It was someone she never expected.

Kane. Why would he call her in the middle of the night? What could be so urgent?

Her immediate reaction was, did Kane dial the wrong number? Or did something happen at JK Intelligence?

She quickly pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Kane, why are you callingso late? Is there something urgent?" Joyce said.

At the other end of the line, Kane's voice sounded anxious, his emotions completely out of control as he exclaimed loudly.
