Matthew was well aware of that. Letting that man take Lucy away might be dangerous, but stopping him was even more dangerous. Matthew found himself in a difficult position.

"Of course, I know that. Listen to me. We only have one chance now. Do you see that? He's heading toward a car parked by the road."

Matthew squinted his eyes, already formulating a plan in his mind. Kent noticed it too, and his eyes lit up as he said, "I understand. Mr. Leon, are you saying..."

"Yes, he's going to get into the car to escape. There'll be a short window of vulnerability then. As soon as that happens, knock the knife out of his hand and rescue Lulu. Take her away immediately. I'll deal with him."

This was their only chance. If they missed it, it would be impossible to catch up to him after he got into the car.

Based on this and previous assassination attempts, Charlotte seemed determined to have Lucy killed.

"But Mr. Leon, we're too far from him. What if..."

The assistant wanted to express his concerns. What if they failed to knock the knife out of his hand or if they missed? Would that not put Lucy in greater danger?

However, Matthew's expression was stern, and he growled. "There is no 'what if'. We must succeed!"

He could not imagine any other outcome. He was determined to rescue his wife and ensure her safety. That was his promise to her.
