Ella nodded. She started drawing back the tattoo she had seen on Jack's wrist. David was silent, watching Ella. He didn't say or do anything that bothered her.
After she finished drawing, she handed the paper to Officer Vic. He stared at the paper and asked Ella. "Are you sure this is the tattoo you see?"
"Yes. I remember clearly." Ella nodded, affirming again.
Officer Vic looked at the tattoo on the paper again and said. "It's very similar to the tattoo on Jack's wrist."
"So, Jack and the culprit are the same person?" David asked.
"I think the same as you. Or Jack's accomplices." Officer Vic nodded.
Ella suddenly remembered something and continued. "There may be someone standing behind Jack, guiding him. I heard him call that person boss."
"Do you know who that person is?" Vic looked at her and asked.
Ella shook her head. "I do not know."
"This is simple. We've caught the culprit, so it's not difficult to find out who's behind it." David said.
Officer Vic sighed, shaking his head. "Unfortunately, Jack escaped."
"What? Jailbreak?" Both David and Ella were taken aback, so they answered at the same time.
"Jack is a dangerous criminal. Despite our strict guard, he escaped." Vic said.
"Officer Vic, what's that tattoo? Why is Jack a dangerous criminal?" David asked the officer when he noticed his stunned expression.
"This tattoo belongs to members of the 'Black Dragon' gang."
David and Ella frowned, eyeing each other.
"This gang is the most dangerous in the country. They smuggle guns, gems, and drugs, and rape women. They are not afraid of murder, nor are they afraid of the police. But their gang has ceased to function. two years before encountering the police. All members of the gang were arrested, except for one. It was Jack, he was also the leader of the gang. Jack hid very well. And the name Jack, not his real name. His name is Paul Vincent. Because he changed his name we couldn't find him for years We thought he had plastic surgery and fled to a foreign country. Now, we have caught Jack, but carelessly let him escape." Officer Vic explained to them.
David was dismayed. He didn't do enough research before recruiting Jack into the company. Because he's pretty good at camouflage.
Ella's face paled. She clasped her fingers together.
Why would a member of such a dangerous gang attack her? What did she do wrong that she doesn't know?
David turned and saw Ella's pale face. He took her hand. He held onto her hand as if telling her 'Don't worry, I will always be by your side, protecting you'.
Ella looked down at her hand and then up at David.
David smiled at her. His grip gave her a sense of security. She took a deep breath and calmed down.
She smiled back at him. Right. As long as David is with her, she won't be afraid anymore. She knew she would be safe with him. David squeezed her hand tighter.
Ella's pale face slowly changed to its normal color.
"Do you feel better?" David asked softly.
Ella nodded and smiled. "Thank you."
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let anyone harm you." He said softly.
Ella felt touched by his words. She didn't know what to say. She just smiled at him.
Officer Vic cleared his throat to get their attention. "Anyway, thank you for providing some information. We have issued an arrest warrant for Jack. Hope to catch him as soon as possible."
"Yes, if you have any news, please let us know," David said and stood up from his seat.
Ella and David said goodbye to Officer Vic and then they left the police station.
"I think I have to increase security at the company and hire more bodyguards," David said while they were walking to the parking lot.
"I think so, too," Ella said.
***
In a secret place, in a room.
Jack was standing while Maria sat in front of them, shouting. "You failed your mission. It's useless. But fortunately, you escaped from prison."
"I'm sorry boss, she's very lucky. There's always someone to save her." Jack said.
"It's because you acted carelessly. Why are you acting in the company? You should lure her out and then carry out your plot." Maria got angry and said.
"Boss. Give me a chance. I will complete the mission and I will eliminate that woman. This time I guarantee that I will not fail." Jack said.
Maria glanced at Jack with sharp eyes. "Really?" She asked coldly.
"Yes. But, David always protects her." Jack said.
"Don't hurt him again. Just kill that woman. Which way you use, I don't care. All I want is for Ella to leave David." Maria's hatred for Ella runs even deeper.
Initially, Raymon agrees to work with Maria to split David and Ella together. But then, Maria realizes that Raymon doesn't have the heart to harm Ella. He is too slow in action. Maria didn't want to keep waiting, so she teamed up with Jack. It was she who recruited him into the company.

Maria knocks on David's office door. From inside the room came a voice. "Come in."
Maria pushed open the door and entered. She smiled. "You call me?"
"Jack was recruited by you, right?" David raised his head, looked at her, and asked.
"Yes. What happened?" Maria pretended to ask.
"He's the leader of the gang. Why don't you do your research before accepting him into your company?" David got a little angry when Maria acted negligently.
Maria pretended to be surprised. "Really? I made the mistake of not finding out about this man, I'm sorry."
David calmed his anger. "Okay, I hope you'll pay more attention next time."
"I know."
"Did you know the news that Jack broke out of prison?"
Maria looked as if she was surprised by that. "I've been busy lately, so I haven't read the news."
"He's also a criminal who raped women, be careful." David reminded her.
Maria smiled as she heard him speak. "Are you taking care of me?"
"You're like my little sister Rika, of course, I have to take care of you."
Maria stopped the smile on her lips. She doesn't want to be David's sister or friend. She wants her to be his woman.
