After he finished speaking, Chris paused for a moment. "For now, we better believe it. After all, the time for the banquet is near. Let's see what surprises he can give us in the future!"
The man plays with his unlit cigarette. After returning it to him, he said, "I can't smoke, I want to go home and meet her."
Chris held two cigarettes in his hands, looked at the figure of the man in the car, then took a quiet sip.
'Is that how you want to meet her? Aren't you meeting her every day?'
He glared at the taillights of the car, and when he turned his gaze behind him, he glanced at the restaurant lobby. He immediately threw the cigarette butts in his hands on the ground, and smashed them twice with the sole of his shoes.
Chris walked to his parking lot, pulled out his cell phone, and made another overseas call.
The little girl had just started school. According to his intelligence, she worked really hard. In about two years, she should be able to finish her studies.
'Two years, huh? What a long time!'
...
On the way home, the man closed his eyes as he leaned back on his seat to rest.
As the fluorescent light outside the window alternated across his handsome face, he opened his eyelids and pulled out his cell phone to check the time.
The time already showed 7:50,? he wonders if his wife has eaten on time.
Before going to the restaurant, he had told his maid to cook for his wife.
At this time, the man turned on the phone and subconsciously looked at the message on the screen. The message she sent him arrived at four o'clock and he has not yet responded to it.
He accidentally touched the screen with his thumb, furrowed his brows, and sent her a reply.
Jean: Have you eaten yet?
The message has been sent, and as time goes by, there is still no reply.
The man's face darkened, and he raised his eyes to look at Clifford on the driving seat. "Who looks after the Lakeside Villas?"
Clifford took the wheel and glanced into the rearview mirror. "Dina, Rini, there are also some people from the second team."
"No strange movements?" The man asked in return, making Clifford tense a little.
He took out his cell phone from his pocket. "Currently, nothing!"
There is no news on his cell phone.
If anything had happened at Villa Lakeside, Dina, Rini and the second team would surely let him know as soon as possible.
"Faster!" The man's eyes were dark. Just now, he called Lilia's cell phone while Clifford was talking, but it wasn't answered.
Clifford saw that something was wrong, so he suddenly stepped on the gas pedal, and at the same time asked, "Madam doesn't pick up?"
The man didn't answer, but he whispered, "Hurry up and contact them! Guard all the exits!"
"Yes sir!" Clifford sends encrypted messages to Dina and the others using a unique method of communication. He looked in the rearview mirror again, "Should I let Dina and the others come in to have a look?"
"No!"
He was worried, and started to get nervous. Nearly three hours had passed, and if something did happen, it would be too late now.
During this time, he thought of many possibilities, and the outline of his facial features was covered in a fierce frost.
Clifford pressed his lips tightly, his speed accelerating.
If the young master's wife really experienced something bad under the watch of the security team, then everyone could say goodbye to their lives.
Clifford had cut his twenty-minute journey in eight minutes.
In front of the Lakeside Villa, everyone was waiting.
The second team has eight bodyguards, including Dina and Rini.
Everyone wore serious expressions, standing inconspicuously in the corner of the villa.
The sky grew darker, and they could see car lights illuminating the road in front of the villa from a distance.
When Jean's car came to a steady stop, Dina stepped forward. She watched Clifford and the man get out of the car with grim faces, and groaned in her heart.
"Young master, Captain, what's wrong?"
Her tone was full of anxiety. She swept the villa's window with the light from the corner of the house, seeing that nothing was strange.
Could it be ...
She didn't dare to think anything strange, she could only look at the face of her young master and suppress the uneasiness that arose in her heart.
"Who came here tonight?"
The man's eyes were sharp and his tone outspoken. His deep, gloomy pupils stared out at the window in the not far away living room.
From his point of view, there was not a single person in sight.
However, even though the lights were on, Lilia never picked up her phone and there was no response.
This is not normal!
At this moment, when she heard that question, Dina's face suddenly changed. She looked back at the bodyguards of the second team. "Did anyone come earlier?"
Shit!
At 4:30 PM, she and Rini were gone for a bit!
But only for about an hour.
When the words were finished, Clifford stepped forward blankly, squinting at Dina. "Did you leave earlier?"
Dina nodded indistinctly. "At 4:30 pm, the auto shop called and let us retrieve the Madam's car that was being repaired. Rini and I left together. "
Clifford reached out and grabbed Dina by the collar, pulled her forward and asked coldly. "Did you really need two people to get the car?"
Dina didn't speak, she could only surrender. She stood on tiptoe and held her anger at being held back by the? neckline.
At this time, the guardian of the second team rushed forward and bowed his head in respect. "Young Master, Captain, Mrs. Mei had been here since this afternoon."
The man's eyes are as deep as the sea. "Just her?"
"There was a young girl who was following Mrs. Mei, she seemed to know each other, so..."
At this moment, everyone realized that things might be out of control.
However, time did not allow them to continue to be questioned one by one and held accountable.
Jean turned his gaze and winked at Clifford. He nodded attentively, loosened Dina's collar, and adjusted his eyes. Then he said with a deep voice, "Block all the exits!"
The situation seemed very serious. The second team along with Dina and Rini surrounded the entire villa with the fastest speed.
From the first floor to the second floor, all doors and windows were closed.
A minute later, the whole building was safe.
The man opened the gate and walked towards the entrance of the room.
At the entrance, he unlocked the door with his fingerprint. When he entered, his steps slowed down and the surroundings calmed down.
The smell of food was still faintly floating in the air.
However, the bright? living room housed nobody.
The man walked slowly, everything in the room was the same as before, there was no abnormality.
He glanced at the spiral staircase on the second floor and nodded slightly at Clifford behind him. When their eyes met, he saw that Clifford had pulled a Swiss Army knife out of his jacket pocket.
In an instant, the two of them made their way to the second floor.
The carpet in the hallway cleverly dampened the sound of their footsteps.
The two of them approached the master bedroom, and the silence in the air seemed to get tighter.
Then...
"Hahaha! Lilia, look, this eyeshadow looks really good! You've never tried this color before, right!"
Bursts of laughter came from the next room.
Hearing this voice, Jean's handsome face immediately sank.
He no longer suppressed the sound of footsteps, and walked quickly, pushing open the door in a rush.
Inside, the three people were stunned.
Lilia was holding the eyeshadow case and brush in her hand. When she saw Jean's figure, she said in surprise. "You're back?"
She thought Jean was coming home late because he was drinking with Chris, but why did he come now?
Oh! What time is it now?
Lilia then realized that her cellphone wasn't there.
