Chapter 1223 – If you say, I believe
The location software had just been installed when Benjamin knocked on the bedroom door.
“Knock-knock-”
“What for?” I yelled at the door without good grace.
“It’s time to send Jamie back, Leo is not comfortable with him being with us for so long.” Benjamin was not angry, his tone was light.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
On the surface Leo and I have not repaired our relationship, so it makes sense to say that.
Maybe Leo also knows that I specifically specified to find Jamie, must have a message to pass out, so deliberately found such an excuse.
I thought about it and said to the door, “Got it, I’ll get dressed for him, you wait downstairs.”
Soon, footsteps sounded outside the door, then gradually became smaller and finally fell completely silent.
While dressing Jamie, he carefully instructed in a voice that only the two of us could hear, “Honey, if you have a way to get to Daddy, tell him to try to stir up some confusion about the situation, understand?”
Jamie looked at me with two grape-like eyes, seemingly understanding, but agreeing with certainty, “Mm-hmm, Mommy trusts me, naturally I won’t let you down.”
Maybe mother and son together is the source of security, looking at Jamie so well behaved, suddenly I feel that suffering so much is nothing.
I hugged Jamie again before leading him downstairs.
Benjamin has been waiting for a long time, but showed a lot of patience, raised his hand to indicate Jamie to walk over, “Uncle Benjamin to take you home.”
Jamie looked up at me, then at him, and walked straight toward the door.
Benjamin’s hand hangs awkwardly in mid-air, frozen for a moment, before retracting wordlessly.
In fact, children are the most resourceful, even if nothing is clear, but also understand what people should be close to, what people should be distant.
Of course I didn’t say this in front of Benjamin, after all, Jamie and he had to stay in the car together for half an hour.
After dropping off their car, I went back to my room.
Try texting the number on the previous note while Benjamin is away for an hour.
[Mr. Felton? I’m Clara.]
The other side replied quickly and concisely, “Go ahead.”
Probably this is the nature of the military, focusing only on the most important information, with little pleasantries.
[Next I will find an opportunity to approach the core of the crime syndicate, and I hope that you will track my positioning throughout, is it feasible?]
“Positioning is fine, approaching the core is too risky and not recommended for now.”
[I’ll keep myself safe, until then, I hope you’ll cooperate with Dennis and give Benjamin a wake-up call].
Jamie, after all, is still young, alone he will always have an accident, since Dennis nuclear Fidel before the joint rescue from Shirley under me, there must be a connection between the two, from his side to pass the message is not impossible.
“Don’t worry.”
After getting the affirmation from the other party, I deleted all the records.
Dennis moved faster than I thought, only the next morning, Benjamin’s men brought news against them.
“Mr. Jane, Uncle KevinUncle John was arrested and the lodge was seized by the police.”
The imprisonment of the two core figures means that the entire group has been completely exposed to the police, not only the retailer’s field, but also they and Boss Kim, are in a precarious position.
It’s just that Boss Kim has been overseas and not subject to the Hungas police, and Benjamin, who is the secondary leader of the group, has clearly become a target.
When my hand finished, I dropped my gaze on me with a look of hatred to kill.
Of course I know what he was thinking, not sooner or later, but after Benjamin took me, so that I want to have freedom of communication, the lodge was exposed, which is such a coincidence?
Unfortunately, I was aiming for much more than this one hill, and his suspicions were right, but unfortunately it was too soon.
This makes me have the hardness of not doing anything wrong at this point, and take the initiative to open my mouth to question, “What do you mean by looking at me like that? You suspect me?”
“Am I wrong to suspect that!” The handlers gritted their teeth, completely ignoring the fact that Benjamin was there.
Than the man in the suit, the scars across the entire face make his poor and vicious more oppressive.
Such a person is no sense of absolute obedience, once the madness, no one can stop.
I didn’t have the confidence to fight against such a person and pointed the finger at Benjamin, “You feel the same way, don’t you?”
Benjamin put the half-burned cigar to his mouth and took a sip, exhaling all the smoke before slowly turning his face again, squinting at me in a haze, “I think it doesn’t matter if it is or not, I want to hear you say, have you ever done it?”
“No.” I blurted out, frankly.
“Okay, I believe it.” Benjamin looked at me calmly and didn’t seem surprised at all.
After the ring was thrown away, he seemed to have changed a lot, but no matter what, the answer, in the end, was to tell him to centrifuge from his men.
“Mr. Jin, this woman is clearly-”
Benjamin did not give him a chance to finish, “All right, you go out, no more coming into the house, if there is anything to say in the courtyard.”
“But–”
The next man wanted to say something else, and Benjamin an eye knife over, and had to swallow it all, resentful left.
“You don’t doubt it at all?” I deliberately teased.
“You’d love for me to suspect you?” Benjamin asked rhetorically.
I didn’t expect him to ask that, and I didn’t know what to say for a while.
Benjamin took another puff of his cigar, and in a nicotine intoxication, spoke again to himself, “Clara, I’m not the same person I used to be, and then as long as it’s something you say, I’ll believe it and never ask.”
What is this?
The devil with blood on his hands comes to his senses?
What can be changed?
Can those innocent people who died come back from the dead?
It won’t.
“But.” Benjamin suddenly said, “Everything that happened today will be counted on Dennis’ head, one by one, and soon there will be a result.”
Sure enough, the blackness in the bones cannot be changed.
A sneer, I sarcastically said, “Then you might as well just count on my head, anyway, in the end Dennis accident, I will not live alone, why go in such a big circle.”
“You’re wrong.” Benjamin didn’t even look at me, just stared vacantly directly in front of himself and said out of breath, “I’m not going to kill him, but I have ways of making his life worse than his death.”
“What gives you the right!” I stood up in anger.
Still unfazed, Benjamin reached down and put out his cigar in the ashtray, “That’s only fair.”
“Fair? All this time it was you who wouldn’t leave us alone, you were the one who was looking for trouble with Dennis, when did he ever tell you that life was worse than death?”
Benjamin finally looked up slowly, looked at me with a wandering gaze, and said in a deep voice, “You have.”
“Ridiculous, I simply …” subconsciously want to deny, but halfway through the words, and then fiercely understand what he meant by that, suddenly silenced.
