“I don’t know.” Baird Lane put down his glass of water, “We’ll find out when Gates checks it out, besides, I’m thinking that since that guy is giving face to The Lane Family, it means he’s not very powerful, maybe similar to The Lane Family, just in the shadows.”
“So will he target The Lane Family, then?” Christine White subconsciously speculated.
Baird Lane rubbed her hair, “I don’t think so, if it was against The Lane Family, they wouldn’t have given The Lane Family face time in the first place.”
“Also.” Christine White nodded and stopped talking.
Baird Lane suddenly poured her a glass of water, “Don’t worry, I won’t let Leo Bort out.”
Christine White hmmmed, “I believe you.”
“Come on, dinner.” Baird Lane pulled her to her feet.
The two of them walked together toward the restaurant.
The next day, Baird Lane left early in the morning again, listening to Aunt Lucy, as if he was going to personally pick up a real estate tycoon from abroad to discuss a resort partnership.
Specifically, Christine White didn’t ask much, and presumably Aunt Lucy wouldn’t know if she asked.
After breakfast, Christine White said goodbye to Aunt Lucy and got ready for work.
When she had just stepped out of the gate of the villa, she was greeted by two men in black suits.
Christine White sized up the two men without much thought and sidestepped back, intending to let them go first.
However, those two men suddenly stopped in front of her, which made her wary and her feet subconsciously stepped back.
After taking two steps back, she immediately turned around and tried to run.
Those two men didn’t expect Christine White to be so alert, and after glancing at each other, they separated left and right, tackled her by the arm, and racked her towards the gate of the villa area.
Christine White’s heart was terrified and her face was flustered, she couldn’t help but cry out for help, “Let go of me, you guys let go of me, come on people, Aunt Lucy, Song uh …”
Before she could finish her cry for help, she suddenly felt a pain in her neck, after which she knew nothing.
“This woman is so noisy!”
“All right, hurry up, someone’s coming later.”
As the words fell, the two men set up the fainted Christine White and moved quickly to leave the place.
By the time Christine White woke up again, she had no idea how much time had passed.
She opened her eyes and realized that she was lying on the floor of a room that was so dark and lighted that she couldn’t see anything in the room.
“Where the hell is this?” Christine White muttered suspiciously, bracing her arms to get up, only to have the back of her neck tug and hurt as she moved her body.
She couldn’t help but let out a cold breath and reached out to touch it, only to find that she couldn’t touch it at all, and when she did, it hurt so badly that tears came out of her eyes.
It shows how hard the man who knocked her out hit her!
Squeak!
The sound of a door opening.
Christine White hastily lowered her hand from her neck and craned her head to where the doorway was, only to see three figures walk in against the light of the hallway.
The two next to her were dressed in black suits, and Christine White instantly recognized them as the same two men who had knocked her out and brought her here.
As for the man in the center, Christine White narrowed her eyes; the man was about her height, dressed in a dong suit, hunched over, and had a cane, obviously an old man.
Of course, this wasn’t the most amazing thing, the amazing thing was that this old man actually had a mask on his face.
Playing coy, is it because you don’t want her to know the identity?
“Who are you?” Christine White held back her inner panic and fear, her gaze fixed on the old man.
She knew that the old man was the one in charge.
The old man was a little surprised at Christine White’s composure and couldn’t help but look at her a few more times before walking over to the couch in front of her and sitting down, not answering the question, “You’re not afraid of me?”
His voice was so hoarse that it wasn’t just hard to hear, it was also a little scary
Christine White took a deep breath and pressed her frantically beating heart back, “Afraid, but afraid you’ll let me go?”
“No way!” The old man placed his cane on the sofa coffee table and faintly spat out two words.
Christine White pursed her lips, “Since it won’t, is it useful for me to be afraid?”
“Huh.” The old man laughed conspiratorially, “You are clever.”
“Can’t afford your compliments, may I ask a few questions?” Christine White said, and without waiting for the old man to agree, she took the initiative to ask the questions she was going to ask, and asked them, “What exactly do you want to do by tying me up here, I don’t think I know you, do I?”
This word, tie, was bitten very hard by her, with a few hints of anger mixed in.
The old man did not answer immediately and waved his hand slightly.
Christine White had assumed that he had made the gesture to get a lesson out of her, and her body immediately tightened.
But it turned out she was overthinking it, it was the old man who was thirsty and asked the man in the suit behind him to pour water.
“Ahem, you don’t know me, but you should know Leo Bort, right?” The old man finished his water and finally spoke.
Christine White heard this and instantly thought of something and opened her mouth in surprise, “You’re the one who helped Leo Bort get his appeal?”
“Not bad.” The old man nodded.
Christine White narrowed her eyes, “Yesterday the police department called me and told me that Leo Bort wanted to see me and I didn’t say yes, so you kidnapped me specifically today?”
“Yes.” The old man admitted again.
Anger rose high in Christine White’s heart and her fists were clenched tightly, “What the hell do you want?”
“Sign this!” The old man took out a document from nowhere and threw it directly in front of her.
Christine White glanced down and even without opening it, she could about guess what was in the document, “No sign!”
She stubbornly turned her head away.
The old man’s eyes went cold, and even the temperature in the room was lowered, “Girl, don’t drink to the cause!”
Christine White doesn’t speak, pretends not to hear, and silently ponders in her mind how to contact the outside world.
Escaping is definitely not an option!
With these two men in suits here, they would surely subdue her immediately once she got the idea of trying to escape.
So she could only think of ways to save herself or wait for someone to come to her rescue, Baird Lane was her only hope, she was taken from the villa area, I’m sure someone must have seen her, so he should know about it by now and be looking for her everywhere, right?
Thinking about this, Christine White’s terrified heart suddenly has a glimmer of anticipation that Baird Lane will find her soon.
When the old man saw Christine White playing dumb and refusing to sign the letter of understanding, instead he was still walking around, he was furious and his old eyes behind the mask narrowed grimly.
“Good, very good, no one has ever dared to ignore my old man’s words, girl, I’d like to see if you’re a newborn calf, or if you have any other backbone, you guys go, since she refuses to sign, put her handprint on it!” The old man waved his hand and ordered.
The two men in suits responded and headed toward Christine White.
“Stay back, you guys!” Christine White’s pupils constricted suddenly and she hid her hands behind her back and began to duck around the room to keep them from catching her.
But how could she, a weak woman, hide from two tall men.
So within moments, she was caught by two men.
One of the men picks up the papers on the floor and takes out a copy of the sealing clay and opens it, while the other man then deadlifts Christine White, breaks her hand, and then squeezes her thumb and presses it into the clay.
Christine White struggled violently and screamed from her mouth, “No, let go, you guys let go of me!”
However, both men are not compassionate people, no matter how much she shouted, not moved, directly pinched her thumb stained with sealing clay and pressed it to the document, the document immediately more than a red fingerprints.
Seeing that fingerprint, Christine White’s heart went cold and her whole head went blank, nothing else but two words.
Done!
