William came to the police station. Now he could only talk through a transparent piece of glass with Andrew. Looking at the handcuffs, William felt inexplicably dazzling.
After not seeing him for a while, Andrew had a beard and a haggard face. He was completely different from the high-spirited appearance he had when he had just returned.
If it wasn’t for William’s good eyesight, he even suspected that Andrew was replaced.
“I want to talk to Mr. Andrew alone. Is it convenient?”
Both they remained silent.
Andrew had just met Daisy and was gnashing his teeth in hatred. For him, the most shameful thing was to be played tricks on by a woman.
Daisy came here to sneer at him, right?
Andrew regretted that she suddenly left at that time. He should have killed Daisy.
“William, you are here.”
Andrew sneered, “Are you here to laugh at me?”
“Didn’t you want to see me?”
William sat on the chair with a cold face, without any posture that a winner should be proud of.
“Yes, I want to see you.”
Andrew fell silent again after hearing what William said.
“Did you call me here to ask me for help?”
If Andrew didn’t tell the truth, he would never take the initiative. It was a normal communication mode.
However, William was in a hurry, so he asked first, which surprised Andrew.
“How long has it been since you found out?”
Andrew smiled bitterly. He had been played tricks on by a woman. Perhaps his best friend did not treat him as his best friend. He helped William trace the whereabouts of the email and trace the news of Nelson’s son abroad. William did not think highly of it at all.
It was the most hateful. Why did they play tricks on him? His true heart was being betrayed. How ridiculous!
Andrew had once thought that William was his best friend for the rest of his life, and Sophia was his most beloved woman.
They had deceived him.
William was silent. He indeed had another identity that even Jane did not know.
He joined an organization that was more high-end than Interpol and had been investigating the Underground Network.
It was not that he deliberately deceived Andrew and concealed it from him, but that he could not say it.
“How long ago? I have no idea about what you said.”
Because of his other identity, it was naturally convenient for him to search for some secret information. William found that although the Floyd family shared the Duncan Group, they had hidden motives. They were secretly playing tricks.
Originally, he didn’t pay attention to what they did. Everything started when his grandfather fell unconscious.
The Floyds’ abnormality made him suspicious.
“William, are you looking down on me?”
Andrew asked seriously.
All the truth was revealed. Andrew found himself stupid. If he had not been ignorant and incompetent, his Grandpa would not have gone astray when he had hope.
It was all because of him, who was vain, sensitive about his reputation, and felt good about himself despite not being able to do anything, which made his family worried much.
Yesterday, he saw his grandfather. His grandfather took all the blame and said that he had just returned to the country and knew nothing about what the Floyds did.
Andrew suddenly realized that he had been free abroad for several years.
His family didn’t restrain him, and his grandfather didn’t look for him. In fact, they were all protecting him.
But what had he done?
He resisted his grandfather because of a woman. His grandfather had said at that time that Sophia was scheming and he needs to be careful.
Why couldn’t he realize her true character with such shallow methods?
Andrew scratched his hair. He regretted William coming here because he did not want to get a more cruel answer.
William was careful about his surroundings. If the Floyd family did not make a move, he naturally would not set a trap for them.
Not to mention business issues, the Floyd family did drug trafficking, added to the Underground Network. What they did was enough to be sentenced to death several times.
“Andrew, I know that you are not involved. I can help you hire the best lawyer.”
William did not answer his question.
At least, Andrew was an upright person before. He did not know what his family did.
It was no longer important.
No one was sorry to another. If one made a mistake, he would be punished. Since ancient times, it was the true principle.
In the past, the expansion of business had caused Nelson to commit suicide. William did not think that he was wrong. But he paid the price for it.
“Thank you.”
Andrew smiled. He knew Randy’s identity, but he didn’t tell William. He had selfish motives.
The Floyd family was the most important to him.
Andrew clearly recognized what his grandfather had said. Once the Floyds had fallen, he was nothing.
Even if he went out, he would be under the point of the world for the rest of his life.
It was too heavy for him. How good would it be if life could be reborn? He admitted that his family had made big mistakes.
“William, do you remember when we were young?”
Andrew suddenly laughed. William didn’t have any toys when he was a child. On the contrary, he possessed all he wanted.
With different personalities, they unexpectedly became best friends.
They sneaked out and were taught a lesson later.
Andrew was usually only taught a lesson, while William was in a miserable state, being punished not to go out and having endless lessons.
“You tell me to bury what I like and dig it out twenty years later.”
Andrew learned from William and buried his favorite things.
A few days ago, he really dug it.
Andrew raised his hand. It was a jade pendant with a red string.
On the jade pendant were two fishes. The red string had long been corroded. It was black. The jade pendant was crystal clear and intact.
William quickly recognized that it was his.
In the past, he sent it to Andrew as a gift.
“Yes, this is my favorite back then. I didn’t expect that it was still there.”
Where Andrew buried it had been developed several times over the years, but the tree had never been moved.
He found the jade pendant and held it in his hand, deciding to return it to William.
“Take it. No matter what happened, we used to be best friends.”
Andrew closed his eyes and stopped talking.
William took the jade pendant from the round hole in the glass. He held it in his hand and nodded.
The jade pendant was held by Andrew for a long time. His temperature was left on it.
That was their childhood memory. Although many years had passed, it was still clear.
William was in a heavy mood, but he did not be good at expressing himself. He did not say anything, standing up and leaving.
He thought that if Andrew begged him, as long as it was within his ability, he would agree to him.
William got the news that Andrew committed suicide that night.
“He committed suicide? Isn’t he in the police station?”
Jane was shocked. Thought Andrew was a little stupid, he was not so bad. She always believed that people had a kind side.
The Floyd family did many bad things, but they had always been very protective of Andrew. Therefore, he must not be allowed to participate in what they did.
“It was said that he cut his throat with a piece of a porcelain bowl. It was too late to rescue him when he was discovered.”
William’s voice was flat, without any ups and downs, but Jane knew that he was very sad at this time.
They grew up together from childhood. They used to be best friends.
Even if Andrew made a mistake, William would forgive him.
However, Andrew could not take it easy. He had not suffered such a great setback. He could not endure being ridiculed. He was fragile.
“Let’s take a last look at him.”
After a moment of silence, Jane suggested.
“I won’t go.”
There was no point in looking at him since he already died.
William didn’t say that he met Andrew in the afternoon. He didn’t say anything. However, he didn’t sleep that night. He smoked on the rooftop all night.
