Chloe wept bitterly. Annalise calmed down instead. She comforted Chloe instead. âChloe, Iâm fine.
Donât worry. Donât cry. Julian left because something happened to Samuel.â How could Chloe believe that? âDonât absolve him. His grandfatherâs at home. What can happen to him? Heâs an old man. If something really happens, itâs a physical matter. Heâs not a doctor. Whatâs the use of him rushing over?
If itâs really about Samuel, he should at least bring you along. Anna, I really donât want you to go through what happened to me. Boohooâ¦â âChloe, donât cry. Iâll get to the bottom of this,â Annalise said.
âYes, get to the bottom of this. Donât be fooled by him. Heâll have to make a choice between you and his first love. If he chooses her, weâll kick him out.â Chloe was furious. âYeah.â âCall him and make it clear now,â Chloe said. âOkay.â âThen Iâll hang up. Anna, where are you now? Iâll come over and keep you company.â Chloe was worried about Annalise. âIâm fine. Weâve found the culprit. The medicine exchange thing will be resolved soon. You donât have to worry,â Annalise said.
âIâm not worried about the company. Iâm worried about you.â There was concern in Chloeâs tone. Her tone made Annalise feel bad. The concern of her friends and loved ones made her vulnerable. But she would be more powerful. Annalise said with a smile, âChloe, Iâm really fine. Donât worry. Iâll be back soon.â âAlright, I gotta go. Weâll always love you!â âLove you too!â Annalise then ended the call. As soon as she hung up, Annalise saw Henry and Trevorâs gazes fall on her. Seeing her look over, Henry and Trevor said in unison, âJulian will never lie to you! Itâs indeed because something happened to Old Mr.
Parks!â
âWhat happened to Samuel?â Annalise asked. Henry said, shaking his head, âJulian left in a hurry. He didnât say.â Trevor said, âJulian asked me to rush over immediately to protect you. He just said something happened to Old Mr. Parks.â Annalise nodded and replied, âOkay.â She stood up and said to Herman, âHello, Mr. Herman, weâve made it clear. Weâll hand the responsible ones bver to the police, and we will bear the responsibility of poor management. In addition, weâre willing to accept administrative punishments. At the same time, we will be interviewed by the media and treat the patients.â
Upon hearing Annaliseâs words, Herman immediately said politely, âAlright, alright. Leave them to the police. Theyâll be punished according to the law. You can sue them. Since youâve investigated it thoroughly, there wonât be any punishment for the company. Well, this is also a result of your poor management, so make sure you tighten up.â âAlright, thank you for pointing it out,â Annalise said politely. âAlright, alright. Annalise, right? Why donât we add each other friends on Whatsapp? Itâs more convenient for us to talk if thereâs anything related to work,â Herman said. âAlright, Iâd love to, Youâre welcome to guide our work at any time,â Annalise said.
Henry stood at the side and smiled meaningfully. Annalise was so smooth in dealing with Herman at such a young age, Henry found her very cute. Trevor felt the same way. It was rare that Annalise showed a smile on her face. âThen, Mr. Herman, I still have other things to deal with. Iâll go first,â
Annalise said politely to Herman after friending each other. âOkay, okay,â Herman immediately replied.
Looking at Henry and Trevor, Annalise said, âHenry, why donât you accompany Mr. Herman and deal with the companyâs case later? Trevor, come with me to see the situation on Samuelâs side.â
âOkay!â Henry immediately responded and made an okay gesture. He sighed that Annaliseâs style of doing things was more and more like Julianâs. The group split into two teams. Annalise and Trevor drove back. Annalise called Julian, whose line was busy, Annalise turned on the computer and typed on the keyboard, trying to locate Julianâs phone. This was the first time she had used the positioning function on him. The firewall on his phone was very powerful, making it hard for Annalise to crack it.
It wasnât that Annalise was checking on his first love, but she suddenly realized that the situation was severe. Something big might have happened to Samuel. Otherwise, his phone wouldnât have been busy. The phone suddenly rang. There was an unfamiliar message accompanied by a beep. Julian is in danger. In the western suburbs.] Annaliseâs heart skipped a beat at the sight of the message, then she found this message suspicious. She felt that she had fallen into a huge trap. Phew! Annalise took a deep breath and told herself to calm down so that she wouldnât be misled. She said to Trevor, âTrevor, keep calling Julian. If you get through, ask where he is now and if he is safe. Ask how Samuelâs doing.â
âOkay,â Trevor replied. He turned to look at Annalise and saw that she was still typing on the keyboard.
He said, âTry not to look at the computer. Youâll feel dizzy and uncomfortable later.â âIâll be fine. Donât worry,â Annalise said. Trevor called Julian. The line was still busy. Annalise continued to crack the firewall of Julianâs phone. At this moment, Julian was driving on the road at a furious pace. He had located Samuel in an unfinished building in the western suburbs. However, just as he was 20 minutes away from the location of Samuelâs phone, Samuelâs location suddenly moved.
Julian immediately called Samuelâs phone again but there was still no answer. He stopped the car and sent a message. [The cash is ready. Where are we meeting?] After about two minutes, the other man replied, [Send me a photo first.] Julian immediately asked Simon to take a photo of the cash. The trunks of several cars were filled with cash. He sent the photo to Samuelâs Whatsapp. The other man replied, [There are so many cars. Are you here to arrest me under the pretext of giving me cash?]
Julian had no choice but to reply, [7.5 million dollars in cash. Thatâs indeed a lot. Donât worry. I only want Samuel to be safe. I donât care about money.]
The other man replied, [Exchange it for foreign currency.] Julian replied, [Okay.] Julian then called his assistant Simon to exchange the money. He then drove to the location. Samuelâs position was constantly moving from the original unfinished building to the eastern suburbs. They were in opposite directions. Julian quietly followed closely. At this moment, in a dilapidated- building in the southern suburbs, a woman wearing a black butterfly-shaped mask was staring at her phone. It had been five minutes since she sent Annalise a message, but there was still no reply. Annalise was so composed!
The woman changed to another mobile card and sent a message to Annalise. It was a photo of Samuel tied up. She had someone send it over just now. Beep⦠Annaliseâs phone rang again. When she saw the photo of Samuel tied up, her pupils constricted and her heart tightened. Annalise immediately logged out of the hacker program and tried to locate the unfamiliar number instead of Julianâs phone.
This location was found in only a minute. After confirming it was in the southern suburbs, Annalise instructed Trevor, âLetâs go to the southern suburbs. Hurry! Samuel is over there!â
