Untamed Charming Wife

Oliver quietly leaned against Ethaniel and whispered, “Dad…”

The sniper’s target wasn’t just his dad; it was him too.

The only ones who would want to kill both his dad and him could only be those people.

Ethaniel turned his head, smiling faintly, and patted his head, “It’s okay, I’m here.”

“… Okay,” Oliver nodded.

Kayla, hearing Ethaniel speak, also turned her head to silently stare at him.

Since he wouldn’t tell her the truth, she would investigate it herself!

As soon as the helicopter landed at the RosenBay villa, Kayla took Ethaniel’s car keys and drove off in his sports car.

“Mr. Han, she-” Linda was very displeased with Kayla’s actions.

“Let her be,” Ethaniel said calmly, heading upstairs to change his clothes. “Connect me with Tandoria. I need to see Ian.”

“Yes,” Linda promptly prepared the computer and connected to Tandoria.

…

Kayla sped in Ethaniel’s car all the way to Viola’s food stall.

Viola raised her eyebrows, “Just a few days, and you’ve already changed cars. Tsk tsk, the life of the wealthy.”

“Cut the crap, come with me.” Kayla shoved Viola into the sports car.

“Hey, it’s the weekend! Shouldn’t you be at home enjoying Mr. Han’s tenderness? Where are you taking me?” Viola rolled her eyes.

This is too urgent. Something must be wrong.

“I need your help.” Kayla pulled a metal shell casing from her pocket and handed it to Viola. “This is the shell casing of a smoke grenade.”

Viola didn’t pay much attention at first, casually examining the casing. But when she saw a series of numbers, her expression turned serious. “This is… a smoke grenade?”

“Yes, it’s the first time I’ve seen a smoke grenade made so small,” Kayla said. That was the main reason she picked it up-its rarity narrowed down the suspects.

“It’s my first time seeing it too,” Viola said, squinting her eyes. Creating such a compact smoke grenade would be difficult even for a major weapon manufacturer like New Avalon.

“Not only this smoke grenade but also an ice bullet and a high-powered sniper rifle modified to fire it,” Kayla’s eyes were cold and severe as she spoke. “If Ethaniel hadn’t been so alert, that ice bullet would have killed him.”

“Ice bullets!” Viola mused, twirling the casing between her fingers. “Though they’re rumored to be developed by New Avalon, they’re actually created by the Dragon Alliance.”

She turned to Kayla, “You’ve heard of the Dragon Alliance, right?”

“Yes,” Kayla said quietly. “A massive underground organization operating in the gray areas between the law and crime.”

Viola handed the smoke grenade casing back to Kayla. “Whether the ice bullet and smoke grenade used in this assassination attempt were supplied by the Dragon Alliance, or if the Dragon Alliance is targeting Ethaniel, this is beyond your control. The best thing to do is to stay away.”

Some people, although not explicitly breaking the law, possess significant influence and weapons. Normally, the police and these individuals do not interfere with each other, existing in what’s known as the gray area.

For instance, Jack’s Obsidian Club is a typical example of this gray area.

Kayla knew there were illegal transactions going on, but she didn’t have the authority to shut it down, especially since the club’s owner, Jack, was the uncrowned king of Seatowne.

If it were before, Kayla wouldn’t have messed with the Dragon Alliance, but now things were different!

The thought of Ethaniel almost losing his life made Kayla unable to stay calm; she had to ensure his safety!

“… You’re not really planning to investigate the Dragon Alliance, are you?” Viola looked at Kayla, decisively opening the car door to escape.

Kayla pressed the central lock, trapping Viola inside, who angrily turned to Kayla, “Are you risking your life for Ethaniel? I won’t help you investigate the Dragon Alliance. I’m afraid of dying!”

Kayla said calmly. “I just need you to find out where the Dragon Alliance’s headquarters is.”

“… I’m a good citizen now, not an informant. How can I help you investigate?” Viola refused outright.

Kayla gave her a sidelong glance. “I don’t care how you do it. You can find out.”

Although Viola no longer relied on obtaining information for a living, her connections and channels were still intact, and Kayla knew it. As long as it wasn’t too serious, she wouldn’t crack down on them.

“… Alright, you win,” Viola gritted her teeth. “Give me three days.”

Kayla smiled. “Okay.”

With Viola’s promise of “three days,” Kayla drove to the Seatowne West District Police Department.

When Kayla appeared at the West District Police Department, everyone’s faces changed!Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Because in the last annual fighting competition, everyone who had faced Kayla ended up injured…

That’s how Kayla earned her reputation as a violent machine.

Ignoring the strange looks from the people around her, Kayla grabbed a passing colleague, “Where’s the chief?”

“In… in the third-floor office.”

Kayla released the person and went straight to the third-floor office.

“Kayla?” The middle-aged man in the room was surprised to see her. “What’s going on? Why are you here?”

“I’m here to report a crime,” Kayla said naturally. “This morning at 10:17, there was a shooting in the West District. I was a witness.”

“A shooting?” Mr. Speed looked at her. “Where’s the perpetrator? Are they still alive?”

If Kayla witnessed the shooting, the perpetrator was likely already beaten to death by her.

“The perpetrator is gone. It’s a cross-border criminal, and their whereabouts are currently unknown. I hope you can order the area to be cordoned off, search for suspicious individuals, and issue a wanted notice at all the district’s transportation hubs,” Kayla calmly suggested.

“Alright, I’ll arrange it, but…” Mr. Speed looked at her, puzzled, “How did you encounter an armed criminal? Does your mother know about this?”

Kayla rolled her eyes. “How I encountered the criminal and who their target was, I’ll report to the officer in charge of the case. As for my mother… thanks for your concern, Chief. She’s doing well and is currently receiving treatment at the hospital.”

“Really?” Mr. Speed’s face lit up with joy.

Back in police school, he was the dean of the Criminal Investigation Academy and also Kayla’s teacher. Knowing Kayla’s family situation, he had met Essem.

He dedicated his life to the police force, remaining unmarried and childless.

Originally, he didn’t believe in love at first sight, but Essem, when not ill, was indeed special to him.

Over the years, he had treated Kayla like his own child and was very concerned about Essem’s illness. He had wanted to send Essem for treatment long ago, but Kayla’s refusal to accept his help delayed the matter.

After Kayla graduated, he hoped she would join the West District Police Department under his management, but she chose the North District Police Department instead.

“Are you still working under Mick?”

“Yes, he’s my direct superior.”

Mr. Speed suddenly leaned closer and whispered, “If you really like Mick, I can help you.”
