Chapter 402 Saving People Is Not Out of Kindness, It Is Because They Are Still Useful
"You..."
Aiden turned around in disbelief, looking at Bianca who was holding a vase and smashing it toward his head.
In his eyes—shock, then disappointment, then agonizing despair.
Finally, his eyes lost their light and closed completely.
His whole body tilted to one side, then was pushed by Ronnie who was pinned beneath him.
He collapsed to the floor.
Bianca screamed and threw down the vase, looking frightened.
"Bianca, thank you." Ronnie didn't think she was cruel at all.
Instead, he felt that for her to go this far for him, she must love him to death.
He wanted to step forward and hold Bianca to comfort her.
But Bianca excitedly pushed him away, speaking in a panic, "I just hit Aiden. Was I too vicious? I'm not a good girl. I didn't want to..."
"Bianca, calm down. It's not your fault. It's Aiden—he pushed us too hard. We had no way out. It's not your fault. We don't have much time now. We need to get the evidence from him first, and his phone. We need to find a way to erase the location data and everything. But don't worry, I know how to do this stuff. I'll handle it. Just stay over there and wait quietly for me."
Ronnie comforted her gently.
Bianca let him help her to the side, looking completely dazed.
Ronnie quickly went to get the USB drive from Aiden's hand.
The moment he turned around, Bianca's dazed eyes flashed with a sharp light.
She had done plenty of bad things since childhood.
How could she really be that scared?
However, she didn't want to be involved in what came next.
This would leave her a way out.
So playing dumb was best.
Just as Ronnie got the USB drive and was about to search Aiden's bag to find his phone—
The door was suddenly opened from outside.
Ronnie froze, his eyes meeting the person who entered.
Because he was squatting on the ground, when their eyes met, it was more like the newcomer looking down at him from above.
"Why are you here? What are you doing here?"
For a moment, a cold gleam flashed in Ronnie's eyes.
He had a grudge against Emily anyway, and now that Emily had seen this scene, today Emily would have to stay and not think about leaving.
Emily's gaze also met his for a moment, then shifted to Aiden lying on the floor.
She wasn't surprised by this scene.
Because Emily had long ago used her technical skills to hack into the surveillance here and detected the danger Aiden was in.
Aiden was useful to her now, so she considered stepping in.
"You want to kill and silence him? Ronnie, your methods are getting more and more ruthless."
Emily said while walking into the room.
Ronnie sneered coldly, having already decided to keep Emily here too.
He stood up, sneering as he approached Emily, "Since you've seen it all, looks like you'll have to stay here with Aiden. After all, he defended you several times today!"
Ronnie raised his hand to attack Emily.
Emily easily dodged by stepping aside.
Then with a series of quick moves, she subdued Ronnie.
Hearing the commotion, Bianca came out and saw Emily. Her first reaction was to run away.
She had always been pampered growing up, plus she had been seriously ill as a child, so her body was somewhat weak. Compared to someone like Emily who knew combat skills and had worked hard for years, there was no comparison.
Even though Bianca didn't know Emily could fight, she had enough self-awareness to know she couldn't beat Emily.
But Emily, having subdued Ronnie, didn't plan to let Bianca go either.
"Want to leave now? Too late! In a bit, you can explain to the police how you and Ronnie plotted to kill Aiden! Although I don't like Aiden either, he was sincere to you, but instead he got such vicious scheming from you."
Emily had a new understanding of Bianca's cruelty.
Bianca shook her head, "I don't know what you're talking about. How could I scheme against Aiden? I just saw Aiden hitting Ronnie and tried to stop him from hurting someone. After that I was so scared, I couldn't recover. By the time I came to my senses, you were already here. If you don't believe me, ask Ronnie."
She continued to make excuses.
And completely cleared herself of blame.
These words seemed to be clearing herself, but were also essentially coordinating her story with Ronnie's.
Ronnie also took Bianca's hint, first protecting Bianca, "Bianca was trying to save me, acting bravely. Mr. Johnson was taking out his anger on me because someone beat him to market with an AI app. I was just defending myself. If you want to frame me and Bianca, that's impossible."
Emily had no interest in listening to their nonsense excuses here. "Save your words. The police will be here soon. You can tell them. I'm taking him to the hospital for treatment first."
Actually, she could help treat Aiden herself.
But she didn't want to waste the energy.
As long as she confirmed Aiden wasn't in serious danger, taking him to the hospital was already her being generous.
Bianca's expression changed.
Then she looked at Emily with tears in her eyes, "Emily, if you have a grudge and want to get revenge on me and frame me, I accept it. I won't complain. Can you please not drag innocent Ronnie into this?"
Emily naturally knew what Bianca was up to.
Bianca must know that she couldn't possibly soften and let them go just because of a few words from her.
She was saying this for Ronnie to hear, to let Ronnie know how great she was, so that Ronnie would take all the blame later.
Just as Emily was smiling at Bianca, as if she had seen through to her soul, making Bianca almost unable to keep up the act—
The police arrived.
Although Emily was saving someone, because she had used special means to open the door and there were questions about the timing of her appearance, she also went to the police station to give a statement.
After finishing, she went to the hospital.
Just after she arrived at the hospital, Aiden woke up.
Other members of the Johnson family were keeping watch by his side.
Emily raised an eyebrow, guessing that the Johnson family probably didn't know yet that Bianca had returned to the country and been arrested.
"Emily, you came! Quick, come here."
Aiden looked past his family members and immediately spotted Emily at the door.
He changed from his usual distant coldness, smiling exceptionally warmly as he called Emily over.
"No thanks. You being this enthusiastic actually scares me a bit. I feel like you want something from me."
Emily spoke bluntly.
Eli and Cleo were somewhat surprised to see Emily come, as they didn't yet know that Emily had saved Aiden.
However, her coming to see Aiden showed she cared about him.
Eli was even secretly pleased, thinking that ultimately Emily couldn't let go of these relatives, couldn't abandon the fact that they all shared the same blood.
But she still spoke so harshly, which made Cleo very angry.
"Emily, if you came, it means you still care about Aiden. Why do you have to say such hurtful things when that's not what you really think? Come here quickly and apologize to Aiden."
