James was sitting on the chair in the study, and his eyes were still staring at the seat where Adele had just sat. His mouth tightened into a thin line, and his eyes were deep and gloomy. He was not in a good mood. It was not until his cell phone rang that he came to sense. He pinched the place between his eyebrows which was a little painful because he had knitted his eyebrows so tightly, and then picked up the phone. "Hello?" "Mr. Lu!" Samuel said in a serious tone, "Well..." "How about the thing I asked you to investigate? Do you find any clues?" "I found something indeed..." Samuel coughed lightly and said, "I've transferred the surveillance videos in the South Lake, but the surveillance camera on the street you mentioned was damaged." "Okay." James answered softly, "Anything else?" "What's more, the registration number of the car is fake. The real owner of the registration number is a van, not the sports car you mentioned. The sports
In Grand Dynasty Hotel. James didn't went to the room Benjamin gave him as a gift, but Benjamin's office. "Ben, what do you think I should do now?" James held a cigarette in one hand and a glass of wine in the other. He did not drink, but looked at the glass with an irritated face. Benjamin sat on the sofa with his back straight. He looked noble and relaxed, which was much different from James's current appearance. He was smoking elegantly and did not speak for a long time. James sighed and said, "Ben, I don't want the police to help me. If I ask for their help now, they will only say that I have too many people to help me. Even if they promise to help me for the sake of me or John, they will only investigate it perfunctorily and can't make much progress." "You're right." Benjamin nodded in agreement. "Well, let some of your assistants help me." James, Isaac, and Benjamin grew up together, so they had a deep friendship with each other. However,
"Have you really made up your mind?" Elizabeth looked at James who was standing in front of the window and asked softly. He didn't come back until she had a sleep. She was not in a very deep sleep. Although he walked very lightly, she woke up when he opened the door. She just wanted to ask him about Adele. But his decision surprised her a little, because he said that he would send away Adele! "Yes." James nodded, "This is the best way to help her." Adele asked him to help her, and he had hesitated, because he had no reason to do that. However, he felt that he should help her when he saw her crying sadly. "Is there no other way?" Elizabeth pursed her lips. "Since Adele asked you to help her, she should love Doctor Bai very much. Can... you talk with Doctor Bai? It's better for them to be together." "How can I not know this?" James said and sighed lightly, "There is something that you don't know very well. Even if you talk to him, the result will be th
When Elizabeth heard this, she directly shook her head and said, "No!" "No. Honey, don't be so excited..." "I'm obviously very calm, okay? Didn't you promise me last time? You said you wouldn't do that anymore." "It was my fault last time, but it's different this time. I can't be with you all the time. What if someone wants to hurt you? It's better to have bodyguards to protect you, isn't it?" On the way back, he thought a lot. He must send someone to protect her. But in order not to put more pressure on her and not let her worry about him, he felt that it was better not to tell her the truth first. But he wanted to know her opinion first. If she agreed, it would be great to let Ben's bodyguards protect her. Elizabeth's face eased a little. She shrugged and said, "You have already dealt with those who disliked me. So, don't do that. I will feel uneasy." James frowned slightly. As expected, she was unwilling. "Let them follow you from a di
"Mr. Lu..." Samuel stood in front of James's desk, looking at James who was concentrating on reading the documents without even raising his head. He was very nervous and uneasy. "Mn." James glanced at him and then lowered his head to read the documents again. "Well... " Samuel scratched his head, "I only found the second buyer of the car, and there is no other information..." He only slept for an hour last night, but the information he got disappointed him a lot. D*mn it, according to such a slow speed, when could he find the person James was looking for? That person was really cunning! "Okay." James nodded. Samuel carefully observed James's expression and movements, and he was a little confused in heart. What did James mean? If James was angry, he didn't even frown. But if James was not angry, according to the conclusion he had in the past, James would deride him with all the sarcastic words in this world even if he didn't blame him. Alas! Working
James came back very early that day. When he arrived home, it was only four o'clock in the afternoon. He got the certificates that Adele needed for going abroad, so he came back early. The plane was at half past seven in the evening. As soon as he walked to the living room, he saw Elizabeth sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking at her phone in a trance. "Why are you sitting here?" Hearing this, Elizabeth immediately stood up, "You're back?" "Yes." James nodded and walked to her, "Where's Adele? Is she till upstairs?" "No." Elizabeth shook her head, "She went out." She had been waiting here since Adele went out, hoping that Adele would come back soon. It was not good to her to stay outside for a long time, even if she was in the housing estate. "Did she go out?" James frowned and asked, "What did she go out for?" "She went out for a walk. I went to look for her once, but I didn't find her." "Okay." James let out a sigh of r
"Isaac, you son of b*tch!" "Jimmy! Calm down!" Benjamin said. "D*mn it! He's too cruel! Who does he think he is? I won't be able to calm down even if I beat him to death!" "Beat me! Just beat me to death!" A light but desperate voice sounded, which made Elizabeth, who had been standing still because of fear and sorrow, shiver and rush to the operating room. As soon as she entered the operating room, she gulped. What she had seen made her heart can't stop trembling. Isaac sat on the ground weakly with his head lowered, allowing James to punch him fiercely. James beat him crazily, kicking and cursing him from time to time. Benjamin tried to separate them, but finally he gave up. He just stood aside and looked at them with a frown. The operating room was not big, but it was full of a fishy smell. The ground was covered by bloodstains, which looked shocking. The curtain in front of the surgical bed was half pulled up. She could see half of th
"Isaac..." Benjamin looked over and frowned. Isaac, who had been lying on the ground, had stood up unsteadily, looking upset and desperate. His nose was still bleeding, but he didn't wipe the blood and staggered to the bed. He walked very slowly with his back hunched. He was pressing his chest with one hand, and he was very firm. It was only a distance of five or six steps, but he walked more than a dozen steps. When he reached the head of the bed, he stopped and slowly squatted down. He stared at the small bear-shaped drum on the ground for a long time before he held it with his hand trembling. After a long while, he didn't care whether the ground was clean or not, nor did he care about the eyes of the people in the room. He directly sat on the floor and looked at the small drum. He held it more and more tightly, as if he wanted to grab something. Suddenly, he spat out a large mouthful of blood, and lots of blood was sprayed on the small drum.
