Chapter 430
James glanced at the leader and knew what to do.
He directly extracted the call recording from the leader’s phone.
The conversation between Jared and the leader was heard on the computer.
“Is this Krim?” “Who’s talking?” The leader asked.
“A friend introduced me.” Jared said.
“Why are you looking for me?” “To buy someone’s life.” “Whose life?” “The new president of Blake Corporation, Preston Blake.”
The conversation went on.
“...4.5 million dollars, I can pay you in one go, but I have a request.
If the matter is exposed, you can’t sell me out even if you die.” “Don’t worry, we are professionals.” “4.5 million dollars is not a
small sum.
I have another request.
I want to know where your family members live.
Don’t worry, I won’t disturb them.
If things go smoothly, everyone will be fine.
If things don’t go smoothly, I still hope that you guys can take responsibility.” The conversation went on.
“...Go to the guest rooms at 11:55 in the morning.
Everyone is attending the wedding.
There would be no one in the guest rooms at that time...” “Do it quickly.
Drag the guy to the changing room and kill him quickly.
Remember, you only have five minutes.
You have to complete the job before Annalise goes to the changing room.” The conversation went on.
James tapped the pause button and looked up.
His bloodthirsty eyes glared coldly at the leader.
“What else do you have to say?” From the looks of it, it was indeed planned by Jared.
“Sir, we got blinded by money.
Please give us a chance.
It won’t happen again.” The leader knew that everything was over.
His underlings immediately begged for mercy.
“Sir, please have mercy on us.” James picked up the computer and stood up.
He looked down at them.
“Have mercy? When you killed people and set things on fire, have you ever thought of having mercy and letting them live?” It
was Anna’s wedding now, so he thought that he would let them live for a few more days.
Three days later, when the cruise ship docked, he would hand them over to the police immediately along with the evidence.
As for the culprit, Jared, he was given three more days of freedom.
James thought that there would be handcuffs waiting for him on the shore.
On the other side.
After the effects of the drug wore off, Preston slowly woke up.
The moment he opened his eyes and turned around, he saw a huge face.
He was shocked and immediately shirked.
Mina was speechless.
“So I’m a monster and I eat people?” “What’s going on?” Preston looked around.
He was lying on a bed, but it was not his bed.
He even subconsciously lifted the blanket and looked under it.
Mina was speechless, knowing Preston figured that Mina might have done something to him.
When she thought about how she had fallen while helping him up and they ended up sharing a kiss, her ears turned red and her
eyes flashed guiltily.
“What’s wrong with me?” Preston asked.
Then he said doubtfully, “I remember.
I was in the elevator.
The elevator malfunctioned.
I don’t remember what happened after that.” “You’ve been drugged,” Mina said.
Preston frowned and had an extremely bad feeling.
“Where’s Eric?” Eric was a personal bodyguard that Trevor assigned to him.
Mina fell silent.
James came over and took Preston’s phone before finding out what happened.
She casually asked if the person who was taken.
away by the waiters was Adam.
James said that the ones who were taken away was Preston’s bodyguard.
She asked James if the person who was injured, the person that she asked Joseph to save, was Preston’s bodyguard.
She received an affirmative answer.
Although she did not go to take a look, she knew that the man was seriously injured.
“What’s wrong with him?” Seeing that Mina’s expression was not right, Preston had a bad feeling.
“He’s hurt,” Mina said.
“Where is he?” Preston was in a hurry to get out of bed.
“My grandmaster is treating his injuries.
Don’t be anxious.
I’ll bring you over to take a look now.” Mina said.
Preston was already out of bed.
Mina brought Preston to James’ room.
Joseph was removing the needles from Eric.
The bleeding had already stopped.
He also retreated the man’s wound.
Joseph called his eldest disciple, Jonathan, over to help.
Jonathan had the habit of carrying elixir pills with him.
As soon as he came over, he hurriedly opened Eric’s mouth and stuffed two pills in.
Eric suffered two stabs, one was about an inch away from his heart, and the other was in his abdomen.
There was a lot of blood loss, but it was not fatal.
His injuries were serious and would take a long time to recover.
Mina brought Preston over.
Preston’s heart ached when he saw Eric’s pale face.
The person who was still alive and well just now was lying motionless on the bed.
On the ground was the gauze that had been changed.
The gauze was covered in blood, and he felt a lump in his throat.
“Uh...” The effect of the medicine had worn off, and Eric was starting to feel pain.
He slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing he saw was Preston.
The moment he saw Preston, he heaved a sigh of relief and lay down again.
This was the ethics of being a bodyguard.
As long as he was still breathing, he would immediately confirm that the person he protected was safe.
Preston’s eyes were completely red.
He tried his best not to cry.
He had always told himself that men shouldn’t cry easily..
However, his heart ached when he saw the bodyguard like this.
“I’m sorry!” he said.
“I’m glad you’re okay,” The bodyguard said.
He felt that something was wrong with him and hissed in pain.
W, wondering why did he feel pain in his stomach and heart.
He reached out to touch it.
Joseph stopped him.
“Don’t move!” “Hiss, what’s wrong with me?” The bodyguard was conscious now.
The pain was too obvious.
He must have been injured.
“You got injured,” Joseph confirmed his thoughts.
The bodyguard immediately looked at Preston.
He was relieved to see that Preston was not injured.
It hurt too much.
He hissed again and said, “I’m still dizzy.
I might have to sleep.” “Okay, come on, sleep!” Preston immediately said.
He hoped that after sleeping, Eric’s pain would lessen a little.
Mina looked at this scene and was moved to tears.
He also silently vowed in her heart that she would learn medicine well from her mentor.
She would work hard to treat illnesses and save lives.
Preston came out of the room with a cold expression.
Now that he thought about the process of entering the elevator, almost every step was premeditated.
Elevator malfunction, blackout, roofie... “What about my assistant and Mr.
Johada? Did they collude too?” He wondered.
Today was the wedding of Julian and Annalise.
Those who came to attend the wedding on the cruise ship were all famous people.
Eric was just a bodyguard.
If he really had enemies, he wouldn’t have sneaked onto the cruise ship.
He figured that the target would only be him.
“Jared Blake again? “That guy just couldn’t bear to see me alive?” He wondered.
Mina looked at Preston’s ugly expression and comforted him.
“Mr. Blake, don’t think too much..
It’s already very good that you remain like this.
They said that if you survive a great disaster, you will definitely have good fortune in the future.
Both of you will be fine in the future.” “Thank you!” Preston looked at Mina.
Fragments suddenly flashed across his mind.
It seemed that after he and Eric were helped out of the elevator, Mina appeared.
He wondered if it was Mina who saved him at that time.
