Although confused, Eddie Peterson nodded.
After he left, Allen Peterson lay on the sofa alone, but in his mind, he reflected on the scene that had happened earlier.
Almost all the evidence pointed to Uncle Patrick Peterson, but somehow, Allen Peterson felt something strange about it.
Patrick Peterson was very good to Allen before. Although Allen was not sensible at that time, he was able to feel that Patrick cared about him.
If Patrick is naive to kill Allen Peterson for the sake of the head of this family, then send someone to kill him directly. Why would he have to watch him die with his own eyes?
Patrick Peterson also let Allen die with the long knife he once gave him, which Allen finds hard to accept. All of these are weird, and Allen Peterson can’t even think about it. While thinking about it, Allen Peterson gradually sleeps.
After a long time, he felt someone covered him with a quilt and woke up immediately. Sure enough, there was someone nearby who helped him with a blanket.
Seeing Allen Peterson woke up, Ava Smith said softly, “Allen, if you are tired, you can continue to rest.”
Allen Peterson shook his head and sat up. “I have almost rested! How are you doing? I am sorry for all the previous events that you have been suffering because of me!”
“It’s ok!” Ava Smith shook her head and hesitated to say another word but did not know what she should say to Allen Peterson.
Aware of her expression, Allen sighed. “I know what you want to ask, but I can’t say anything just yet. I can only say that there are enemies who wanted to kill me, and they are also holding you for this matter! But rest assured that I would let people protect you, and I will send you somewhere safe tomorrow.”
Unexpectedly Ava Smith refused. “I won’t go. I’ll stay here right beside you no matter what.”
Allen Peterson was surprised. “Ava, you don’t think I’m joking with you, do you? I’m serious! And as you can see, several people died today.”
Ava Smith shook her head. “I don’t care, and no matter who your enemies are in the various places before, I will accompany you, where ever you go. I will not leave you this time.”
Allen Peterson looked up at Ava Smith. Ava Smith used to think of Allen Peterson as a former wanderer, so he has enemies from various places now. It made Allen Paterson cry and laugh, but he cannot explain it to Ava Smith just yet.
So he could only sigh. “Ava, you know, these people in various places are cruel. I have already retired, but someone had found me. It’s dangerous for you to follow me. You should go!”
“No! I’ll stay beside you, and I’m going to follow you!” Ava Smith insisted.
Allen Peterson can only let Ava go to rest first and have the escort team protect her. After all of this, Allen went to the bathroom. When he went to the bathroom, he still felt the words that the masked man told him.
At that time, the masked man said Allen Peterson was excellent. What does that mean? At this time, suddenly Allen Peterson’s mobile phone rang, the caller was Zach Peterson! Allen Peterson hurriedly cleaned up, went out of the bathroom to answer the phone.
“Dad, what’s up?” Allen Peterson asked.
“Allen, if Eddie did not report to me, I didn’t find out about what happened to you. The person who wanted to kill you, it’s the second Patrick Peterson, right?” Zach Peterson said in a cold voice.
Allen Peterson was surprised. He did not expect Eddie Peterson to report to his dad, yet he insisted on telling Zach Peterson about this matter. However, he understood Zach Peterson’s intention, and he estimated that Eddie Peterson thought Allen was sentimental and reported to Zach privately.
Thinking of this, Allen Peterson smiled bitterly. “Dad, I didn’t report to you about this because I’m not sure whether it’s done by Uncle Patrick Peterson or not. Although it seems to be like this on the surface, I always feel that there is something wrong with it.”
“No, right? Hum! He had asked to send you to West Coast City. I investigated it. The sniper was his second man! Then it happened again, it is almost certain that it is him.” Zach Peterson said in a cold voice.
“Where is the second uncle now?” Allen Peterson asked Zach Peterson.
“He is not in Washington now. If he is in Washington, I have taken him out already!” In the way he speaks, Zach Peterson is ruthless.
Zach Peterson is also a person who pays great attention to his family. It is very good to treat Patrick Peterson in ordinary days. But the more so, when he learned that the behind-the-scenes of Allen Peterson’s murder attempt was Patrick Peterson, the angrier he is. And being betrayed by his most trusted person is the most outrageous.
Allen Peterson hesitated. “Dad, I suggest you don’t take this out on your hands. I’ve got a little eyebrow about the real evil.”
“What? Who is the real culprit?” Zach Peterson was shocked.
“It’s not easy to say for the moment. I need time to collect some more evidence, so Dad, you stay still for a while. Give me two days.” Allen Peterson said.
“Well, Allen, I cannot do it for a while, but you should understand that this matter is about your life and the future of our family!” Zach Peterson replied in a deep voice, “I hope you don’t feel sentimental.”
“Rest assured, Dad, I understand.” Allen Peterson nodded.
Waiting for the phone to hang up, he went to the window, looking out of the window, outside is the steel city one by one with the tall buildings.
Looking at the buildings, Allen Peterson took out his cell phone, typed a line of words on it, and then sent it out. When he finished all this, he went back to the living room. Eddie Peterson was waiting for him, and he had an apologetic face.
Seeing Eddie Peterson, Allen could not help but smile. “Eddie, you don’t have to wait to ask for my forgiveness! I understand, and I don’t blame you. You are thinking about my safety in any way.”
Hearing Allen Peterson’s words, Eddie is in a daze, and then looked at Allen with a smile on his face. “Thank you! I’m glad young master can understand my good intentions, I am moved!”
“Well, you go down and check our men! And we’re both in the same hotel today!” Allen Peterson laughs. “Remember to strengthen the security!”
Upon Eddie’s departure, Allen went back to sleep on the sofa. He hasn’t slept well these two days, and he just took advantage of that opportunity to make up for a nap. That night, Allen and Ava Smith stayed in the hotel for another night. When the next morning came, Allen suddenly received a message. After reading the message, he could not help shaking all over, and then immediately deleted it, and his facial expression recovered to calm.
“Master, the news came from the head of the family. Today, we will send a special plane to take the young master to Washington! There will be other special planes to protect” Eddie Peterson came in from the door, with joy on his face.
As long as Allen Peterson returns to Washington, the security problem won’t be an issue. In Washington, no one would dare to assassinate a Peterson’s family member!
Allen Peterson nodded with satisfaction. “Very good, Eddie! Go and prepare, remember to leave a few people to protect Ava!”
At noon, after lunch, Allen Peterson set out. Ava Smith didn’t know the truth, but he told her he wanted to find a friend to help him out and will return soon.
