Chapter 277: Emergency Rescue
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lucas had just finished negotiating with Preston and sent him away, so he was still in the private room of the Ocean Bathhouse and discussing the following plans with Joe.
After Lucas received Cheyenne’s call for help, his expression changed, and he suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice, “How are you? Are you in danger?”
When Lucas heard that such a thing had happened, the first thing he was worried about was Cheyenne’s safety.
“I’m fine. My dad locked me in the apartment, and I can’t get out. But they’re beating my dad up badly at the door, and I’m really scared that something might happen to him…”
“Don’t be afraid. I’ll be right there! Stay in the aparment, and don’t come out!” Then Lucas hurriedly strode out of the private room.
Seeing that something was wrong, Joe hurried to catch up with Lucas. He asked concernedly, “Mr. Gray, what happened? Is there anything I can do to help?”
Lucas immediately thought about Golden Garden Estate, which was more than ten kilometers away from the Ocean Bathhouse. It was now the morning rush hour, so there was definitely traffic congestion. Even if he drove at the fastest speed possible, it would take him at least twenty minutes.
“Do you have any subordinates near Golden Garden Estate?” Lucas asked while walking.
Joe immediately replied, “I run a cyber cafe outside Golden Garden Estate.”
Lucas immediately ordered without turning around, “Hurry up and get someone to rush to Block 26, unit #501 of Golden Garden Estate to help my father-in-law. He’s being beaten up!”
Joe was astonished. He hurriedly took out his phone to make a call and give an explanation about the matter. “Zach, take the security guards and managers of the cyber cafe with you and rush to Block 26, unit #501 of Golden Garden Estate to stop a fight. Rescue a middle-aged man who’s about fifty years old! Go now, immediately!”

By the time Joe hung up and rushed out of the Ocean Bathhouse, Lucas had already gotten into his black Jaguar and left.
Seeing Lucas leaving in a hurry, Joe naturally didn’t dare to slow down. He quickly ordered his bodyguards, took a few security guards of the Ocean Bathhouse with him as well, and drove to Golden Garden Estate.
At this moment, William had already been beaten up into a pulp at the entrance of his apartment in Block 26 of Golden Garden Estate. His face was battered with bruises, and the blood from his nose had flowed down his chin all the way to his chest, staining his lapel. He had taken numerous punches and kicks to his body, and he was almost unable to get up anymore.
If not for the fact that one of the men was still holding William by his collar and hitting him, William would have probably long fallen onto the ground immobile.
Seeing how miserable William was, Sharon felt that she had finally vented all her anger. To Sharon, getting insulted by William was extremely shameful!
“There are two more bitches in there! You two, don’t think I can’t do anything just because you’re hiding in there! Immediately find the key from this old good-for-nothing and open the door!”
Listening to the commotion outside while leaning close against the door, Karen had her heart skip a beat. Afraid that Sharon would rush in from outside with her subordinates and beat her up, she paced back and forth around the room. “What should we do? What should we do? They’re about to rush in! Cheyenne, you… just stand here and don’t tell them that I’m here!”
Then Karen turned around and dashed into a bedroom. She quickly locked the door and looked around anxiously before finally cursing softly and curling up into the closet.
Cheyenne wasn’t at all surprised that Karen chose to flee when there was danger because she had already gotten used to it. She stood nervously by the door and gripped her phone tightly while praying that Lucas would arrive sooner.

But she also knew that Lucas couldn’t possibly arrive in such a short period of time since she had just called him.
After hearing Sharon’s instructions, the few burly men at the door immediately reached out to frisk William to find his keys.
William was currently so seriously injured that he was about to be unable to open his eyes anymore. But at this moment, he suddenly felt a burst of strength, and he suddenly broke free from the burly man holding his collar. He then tossed the key he had been holding tightly in his hand out of the ventilation window in the middle of the stairwell.
“Damn it! This old bastard threw the key away!” The burly man immediately flew into a rage and slapped William’s face twice.
“Two of you, go downstairs and find the key. I don’t believe that we can’t catch those two bitches!” Sharon barked menacingly.
The two burly men agreed immediately. Just as they were about to go downstairs, another man suddenly yelled at him in shock.
“Shit, this old man passed out. He looks like he’s about to die. Something might happen!”
Sharon and the three remaining burly men were frightened when they saw that William’s eyes had already rolled back into his head, and he had passed out. His body was covered in bruises and blood. He seemed to be in an extremely terrible condition.
The few burly men were getting a little scared because they were just teaching William a lesson under Sharon’s orders. But they weren’t planning to kill him.
When Sharon saw the miserable state William was in, her heart skipped a beat, but she soon humphed coldly and said nonchalantly, “Hmph, he’s indeed an old fogy. He can’t take a beating at all. Let’s spare them this time. Let’s go!”
With that, she took the four burly men with her and left in the elevator.
“Dad, how are you doing? Dad! Say something! Can you hear me?”
Cheyenne was in the apartment, and when she saw William lying in the doorway covered in blood through the peephole, she was so flustered that she anxiously slapped the door and yelled while crying incessantly.
Shortly after Sharon and the others left, the door of the elevator on the fifth floor opened again, and eight equally strong and burly young men rushed out from inside. They were the security guards and managers of the cyber cafe outside Golden Garden Estate, who had come over under Joe’s order.
“Huh?” To their surprise, they didn’t see the brawl that they had expected. Instead, it was rather peaceful because there wasn’t a fight but a person lying motionlessly on the ground, covered in blood.
“Damn it! We’re too late!” yelled the leader of the young men, who had tattooed arms and was wearing ear studs.
Judging from the appearance of the middle-aged man on the ground, they reckoned that he should be the person Joe had told them to save. But the perpetrators had already fled, and William was the only one lying on the ground. They were unsure if he was dead or alive, and the floor was covered in bloodstains. The scene was extremely terrifying.
One of the men rushed to William’s side and tried to feel his breathing and his pulse. “Boss, he’s still breathing!”
“Quick, hurry up and send him to the hospital! He needs treatment immediately!” the man with the ear studs hurriedly exclaimed.
The other young men didn’t dare to be slow. They immediately picked William up to carry him to the elevator and then headed downstairs.
Seeing that a group of people had arrived and carried William away, Cheyenne banged the door harder while yelling, “Can you hear me outside? Hello! How is my father? Who are you people?”
