After hearing this, Matthew suddenly realized that Charlie's reasoning ability was stronger. Charlie's words were credible, and his logic was flawless. It appeared that Linus had to be Mr. Zimmer's adopted son. He was neither a biological son nor a subordinate, but there was a unique bond between them that drove Linus to devote himself to Mr. Zimmer."Should we go find Linus now and have a talk with him? Linus and Lucy were childhood companions. Linus once mentioned meeting a girl who almost pulled him out of the darkness when he was young. It might be Lucy. "It seems Linus has feelings for Lucy, and they're really profound. I can't believe it's been over 20 years and Linus still remembers her. It's truly remarkable," Koven said, stealing a glance at Matthew after finishing his words, wanting to see Matthew's expression.As soon as he looked over, Matthew's expression was completely cold. He looked like he wanted to tear Linus apart."I suggest we go find Linus first. Considerin
Daniel nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this and then said to her, "Alright, you can go back for now. Avoid any unnecessary accidents, and make sure to persevere. The surveillance device you placed on Koven must not be discovered. Most importantly, you must not let them find any flaws, do you understand?"After nodding, Selena then withdrew.The room suddenly fell silent, leaving only Linus and Daniel in the vast space of the villa. Daniel tapped his cane sternly and said to Linus, "Linus Gusman! I see you're utterly useless to Spades now. As a grown man, you can't even do what Selena did well. "I sent you to get close to Lucy Quinn, but you were discovered so soon. What are you doing? Have you lost all that vigor from before? Could it be... Have you fallen for Lucy? Let me tell you, stop daydreaming. "Lucy already has someone as reliable as Matthew supporting her. And you have nothing now. All you need to do get close to them and achieve our goals. You shouldn't always think
Selena pondered upon hearing this statement, unsure how to respond. After all, she understood deep down that both she and Linus were just pawns of Daniel. Even after years of serving Daniel, he still regarded them with indifference.However, the story Selena fabricated for Lucy and the others did contain some truth. One day seven years ago, she ran into Linus on the street and was immediately attracted to him. Later, she began disrupting Linus' life in various ways. Until one day, she suddenly overheard Linus' conversation and realized he was part of Spades.Selena had heard of Spades before but had never been in contact with them. Later, she forced Linus to tell her everything to understand the situation. It was then that she knew what kind of person Linus was and what he had been through over the years.Later, she and Linus started dating, and their life together was really wonderful at that time. Until one day, Daniel discovered her existence and wanted Linus to kill her. Linus f
"She has Matthew..."Linus chuckled bitterly as he said this."It's okay. If you win her over, everything will turn out fine in the end, no?" Selena suppressed her heartache and said to him.Linus shook his head and looked at her. "That's probably impossible now. If there's a chance, I'll tell Lucy myself.""In that case, you must do your best. Don't hesitate this time. If you hesitate again, you might never have a chance again." Selena looked at Linus through the corners of her eyes.Linus' expression at this moment was extremely complex, causing a pang in Selena's heart. She truly loved Linus, so she did not want to see him sad. For the sake of his happiness, she was willing to sacrifice everything to protect him.She did not know if this kind of love was considered twisted, but she just wanted Linus to be safe for a lifetime. As long as Linus was well, she would be fine. If he was sad, she would feel sad too. Maybe she really did not have any ambitions of her own."Do you sti
"I understand what you mean. Thank you, Linus, for helping me realize so much. These past two years, because of my work with Spades, my heart has gone numb. There's no need to even mention these things." Selena finished speaking and looked at Linus.Linus shook his head and said, "Actually, you're doing quite well. I just don't want you to follow the same old path I did." How he wished he could have a child with Lucy and live a happy life together! However, he was being ambushed by Spades now. He definitely could not abandon other matters to pursue the things he liked, as well as the person he liked. They were merely ideals and dreams in the long stretch of his future life."Don't think too much. Look at the sunset! It's only during this time that we truly have some time to ourselves. All other moments are spent living for others. Let's use this little bit of time to live for ourselves!" Selena said. She then turned to look at Linus before looking up at the sky.A gentle breeze ru
"Alright, alright. Let's stop overthinking for now. Let's first figure out how to resolve this issue!"They must have something important to discuss with you. If you don't want to see them, then just refuse. If you do want to see them, follow my instructions, and there'll be no problem!" Daniel looked at Linus and said to him.Linus pondered for a long time. Thinking that he would have the opportunity to see Lucy, he nodded to signal Daniel to continue. "Mr. Zimmer, go ahead. I'm all ears."Upon hearing this, Daniel laughed twice and said to Linus, "Since you're willing to listen to me, you must remember everything I say next!"Linus nodded in agreement."When they ask you questions, you must deny everything as this concerns the secrets of Spades. I don't want you to accidentally reveal too much information!"Moreover, the first thing they'll ask about is definitely about Spades. If they ask what mission you're currently on, you must tell them that Spades is simply collaborating
"But the main problem now is how to find Linus. After all, this is no small matter," Koven said, looking at the others for an answer.Matthew thought for a long time and then said to the four of them, "Linus almost always appears near my house. I think if the five of us stake out around my place, we should be able to track him down. Alternatively, we might need to ask for help."Charlie looked at Matthew and asked, "Who would we ask for help?""Of course, we'd ask Cingen."Charlie then realized and said, "You mean that police officer, Cingen?""Yes, who else? We don't have any other leads right now, so we need his help. Besides, staking out might not yield results. We haven't seen Linus for a while since that incident in the hospital. I'm afraid he might have moved or done something, but everyone leaves traces. We might as well investigate further. We could uncover something unexpected." Matthew finished speaking and looked at the four of them. He came to this decision after car
"You should know how to explain things to Lucy," Daniel looked at Selena."Understood. I'll go meet up with Lucy immediately and explain everything. I won't let them suspect anything," Selena replied, nodding at Daniel before leaving and heading toward Lucy.Linus waited in the villa for Daniel to continue speaking. He did not dare leave without being dismissed."Alright, why are you still standing here? Are you waiting for me to escort you out?" Daniel said irritably, glaring at him.Linus nodded and walked out expressionlessly.Daniel watched Linus' back and snorted disdainfully....Meanwhile, Hudson, Hugh, and Koven had arrived at DS Group after following Hugh's directions.The three of them got out of the car, preparing to gather some intel by checking the place out."Hugh, are you sure it's here? Why is this place so luxurious? If Spades set up camp here, it's unlikely they'd make it this lavish. It's like a palace. If I owned such a big company, why would I do anything
