A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 68

She knows that Winson is trying to help her, but Sunny is not very hot about meeting him alone today, maybe it is because of Kevin’s visit, but maybe there is another reason.

He is still her boss though, and she called him her teacher, so she has no choice but to listen to him and stay after work.

Finally everyone has left to go home, and Sunny has the chance to go to Winson’s office, “Sir, what do you need from me?”

Winson points at the chair opposite to the desk, and says, “Sit down.”

Sunny does as she is told, if she guessed it right, Winson is going to ask her about Kevin.

And she is right, Winson doesn’t even talk around the topic and gets straight to it, “That guy, you know him right?”

Sunny nods carefully.

“Don’t let him come here anymore in the future, it makes a bad impression.”

“Okay... what?” Sunny doesn’t expect him say something like that to her, she got so stunned that she sits up straight in her chair.

“What does you think?” Winson taps on the table, as if he can see what she is thinking about.

“Yeah, I will take care in the future.”

“Alright then, that’s it, you can go.”

Sunny immediately gets up from her chair, and is just about to leave, when Winson asks her another question, “That guy, is he a Quinn?”

Sunny nods, and waits for him to ask more, but he just says, “It’s alright, you can go.”

She finally leaves the office, goes to her desk to take her bag and gets out of the building.

Just when she is out, her cell rings, it is Lora calling her.

She is a little annoyed by that, and she also doesn’t really want to pick this call.

But then Sunny thinks that she probably needs something, so she answers, “What’s up.”

“Sunny, you need to help Zola, someone took her!”

Lora sounds horrified, as if she just went through something terrible.

But Sunny is very annoyed by her, “I haven’t done anything, stop calling me, your daughter is your own business, solve it yourself.”

“Sunny, you cannot be so heartless, yes, we have done things to you, but we are still family!”

“Shut it. Where is she?”

Sunny has no immunity to this “family” thing, so she agrees to help her.

“I saw that that guy has a tattooed arm, it looked frightening, I ...”

“does they say anything to you?”

“Nothing, only that this is a cycle, and this is the payback to something, I ... Sunny... you have to save Zola!”

“Let’s see. I can’t do that by myself, and you have given me nothing to start the search with.”

“There... there is something. They said they are the Ping’s Mafia.”

Ping’s? That is the biggest mafia group in the city, what did Zola do to offend these people?

Sunny struggles a little and says, “You should call the police.”

“They said they do not want the police involved, if we call them, they will...”

A cycle, why does this sound so wrong? What did Zola do?

“Try to remember, has Zola has contact with some weird people these days? I will hang up now, and call the police.”

“Okay, if I remember anything I will call you.”

“Okay.”

When Sunny hags up the call, she stands there for a long time, and then calls Kevin.

Kevin is still angry at her, and when he sees that Sunny is calling him, he is convinced that she is calling to apologize, he is staring at the screen for a while before he picks up.

“Yea?”

“You...” Sunny doesn’t know what to say, but she couldn’t say nothing either, “Are you busy?”

“No, what’s up?” Kevin lies, he is leaning on his desk, his hand playing with a pen.

“Zola got is kidnapped, by the Ping’s.”

Kevin let the pen fall on the table and says in shock, “Say that again?!”

“Zola is kidnapped, by the Ping’s.”

“How do you know it’s them?”

“I only know they has tatted arms, nothing more.”

This is already enough for Kevin to make sure they are the Ping’s, it is like a rule in their mafia, that everyone needs to get their arms tatted before joining.

“How does Zola get involved with these people?”

“I have no idea, Lora just said something about what goes around comes back around.”

The cycle... When Kevin hears these words, it is running down cold his back. When that fire happened all those years ago, he has heard the same words...

“I ... I will call the police first, and there is something I need to think about, I will call you later.”

Sunny hangs up the phone, if she doesn’t hear it wrong, then something is different in Kevin’s voice.

“Hello, is this the police?”

At the same moment, Lora gets a phone call with a voice changer, “I told you not to call the police, but you doesn’t want to listen. Do you want your daughter dead?”

“No, not me, I doesn’t call the police! If you don’t believe me you can hack my phone!”

“I don’t care who called them.” Just when that person finishes talking, she hears Zola’s scream in the background.

“What do you want! If you want to hurt someone, take me and give me my daughter back!”

“Easy, I want 20 million, I am sure this is a small amount for you.”

“Yes!”

“Prepare the money, I will arrange someone to contact you.”

When the person finishes talking, he hangs up the phone.

Lora stands there, she is horrified, she definitively believes that these people are able to do anything to her daughter.

Her daughter, she is pregnant.

This moment, Sunny gets a phone call from Lora, “does you call the police?”

“Of course, this is kidnapping, you need to contact them.”

“You are going to get my child killed!!!”

When Sunny hears Lora blame her, she knits her eyebrows, “Aren’t you the one who asked me to call the police?! And what are you talking about, getting your child killed?”

“They... they are listening to our calls!” Lora sounds very emotional, as if she is going to break down any minute.

“Try to calm down first, I will think of something.”

“What can you think of, go and ask Kevin to help you, beg him please, and I ... I will ask Gerry.”

Sunny rolls her eyes, shouldn’t she have asked Gerry first anyways?

Lora quickly called Gerry, her favorite son-in-law.

“What do you need?”

Gerry picks up the phone, but his voice sounds very annoyed, and there is a woman’s voice in the background, “Gerry Sir, what is wrong?”

Lora tries to hide her anger, and says, “Zola got kidnapped!”

No matter how childish Gerry is, but he has to take care of his wife. He sits up straight and asks, “When is that?”

“Just now, you, where are you? I will come to you.”

“Go to my house and wait there for me, I am coming now.”

On the other side, Kevin has finally sorted out his thoughts, and calls Sunny again.

“Where are you? Come to my place, I will pick you up.”

Sunny tells him her current address, and waits patiently on the side of the street for him.

When she is waiting for him, she sees a crowd of tattooed people on the corner of the street, who are acting strange, they went into a building.

“Kevin, I just saw a bunch of tatted people go into a building, just across the street from the address I told you, I will go and check it out, when you get here come after me please.”

Sunny sends him a voice message, and goes after the tatted crowd.

When Kevin listens to the voice message in his car, he got so scared that his phone almost fell out of his hand, Sunny got nerves. He has to rush to her, so he steps on the gas and hit so many red lights on his way, but he needs to get there as soon as possible.

In that moment, Sunny has already followed them into the building, to keep herself covered, she always stays one floor behind.

According to the sound she hears, they must have stopped going up, someone takes out keys to open a door.

“That girl really does not listen at all, I wish we could just...”

Another guy says, “No we cannot do that. Big Boss already said it, before she’s here, no one is allowed to even touch her.”

“She looks pretty, it’s sad that...” The guy says, and laughs, but it is a very obscene laugh. When Sunny hears it she feels sick.

Sunny actually wants to go to them, but suddenly there is a person behind her who grabs her by the collar, and before she can scream, a hand covers her mouth.

Then the voice says into her ears, “Quiet, or they will know we are here.”

It is Kevin.

Sunny is relieved, “You are here.”

Sunny’s lips are moving under Kevin’s hand, wetting his hand, and warm breath hitting it, Kevin starts to feel a little uncomfortable.

“Quiet!” Sunny nods, and Kevin takes his hand down.

“How many are there?”

Sunny shows 3 with her fingers.

“Three, that’s easy, but I am just not sure if there might be more in the room.”

Kevin just finished talking when they hear above them, “What took you so long, I thought you fell in the lake.”

“Hahaha, why are you so anxious, it’s not like we aren’t coming back.”

“Yeah.”

Kevin frowns, in that room is another person, and it is a woman.

In that moment, Sunny shows “phone” with her hands. Kevin takes his cell out and looks at it. Sunny has sent him a message saying, “Let’s get out of here first, they are in majority, we won’t be able to take them down, they won’t get away from here anyways.”

Kevin thinks about it, “Are you sure Zola is in there?”

Sunny shakes her head, “They said they took a woman, but who the woman is, I don’t know.”
