A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 73

In this way, he can feel free to spend his time.

Sunny feels that the car has stopped and she doesn’t completely wake up. She hears a voice seems to be from her dream telling that they arrive.

So she struggles to wake up and opens her eyes.

Looking at the strange scenery outside the window, she pushes Kevin, “Wake up. We seem to have arrived.”

Kevin is sleeping soundly and is awakened by a push. Why doesn't the bodyguard drive slowly? I will deduct his salary. He thinks.

So the bodyguard cannot help shivering.

“Is it here?” He can only sit up, and then rub his eyes, “This is L Mountain?”

What a mess!

Sunny shakes her head, “I don’t know. I haven’t come here before. We could ask the bodyguard.”

The bodyguard hears his name, so he looks back and flatters, “President, Miss Sunny, this is the only place where people can live in the mountains around L Mountain.”

“Why the only one?”

“Although L Mountain is in the south, its altitude is actually very high, so other places are not suitable for living, and the climate is strange. Although it looks desolate here, it is the place with the largest number of scattered residents.”

Sunny nods, “Let’s get out of the car and have a look?”

Kevin, who is about to get off the bus, seems to think of something and asks, “Did you take that diary with you?”

Sunny nods and takes it out from her bag, “Do you want it now?”

Kevin shakes his head, “Not for the time being. It is for identity proving later.”

Sunny nods again and follows Kevin.

After getting off the car, she finds that the air here is really fresh, just like the air in autumn, with a few cool, but very refreshing.

“Wow…” Sunny enjoys her stretch after waking up.

Kevin doesn’t dare to see, because Sunny's stomach exposed for her short clothes.

So he can only urges, “Let’s go. We'd better get this done before sunset.”

Sunny agrees. She also wants to figure it out as soon as possible.

But just then, the mobile phone rings, it is Lora.

“Hello, what's the matter?”

“Where are you now?”

“I'm not at home now. Can I help you?”

“I'm ok. There is something happen to your younger sister…”

“What happened to Zola?”

“She was almost raped…” Sunny who also experienced before understands how afflictive it is and cannot think of any words to comfort her.

She just can say, “I'll find out where she is as soon as possible. Don't worry...”

After hanging up the phone, Sunny finds out that Lora’s voice was really dumb. She might also be anxious with Zola.

“Let's hurry up. Where are we going now?”

Kevin looks at the surrounding terrain and sees a small house nearby.

“Why don't we go there first?”

Sunny also has a look and finds that there is only a house around, “OK.”

So two of them start their exploration and the safeguard stays in the car waiting for them.

“You have to be careful. If it's hard, we’ll leave as soon as possible, OK?”

On the way, Kevin exhorts Sunny. It seems that they will face a big boss.

Sunny finds it funny, “OK. I know.”

Disappointingly, they find that there is no one live in the house when they arrive.

Sunny knocks at the door, “Hello, is anybody there?”

No one answers.

She can only knock again and again, and there is still silent.

She even puts her ear to the door, “It is strange. All here shows that there must be someone live here.”

She points to the cup of hot tea at the door.

Just then, a voice comes from behind them, “What are you doing at my door?”

Sunny is frightened that she almost immediately turns around and looks at the place where the voice comes from.

Kevin is relatively calm. He turns around slowly with a smile, “We're looking for a woman called Jessie.”

Hearing the name, the gray haired old man becomes unnatural, “Who are you? How can you find here?”

Kevin and Sunny look at each other and day nothing. But make way for the old man.

Kevin says with a polite smile, “I think we are abrupt. Maybe we find a wrong place for our impatience. So sorry.”

Sunny takes a look at Kevin, who is actually quite pleasant when talking with people.

The old man nods, doesn’t say anything, just walk into the house on crutches.

Seeing the old man is about to close the door, Kevin shouts, “Greg Reed.”

The old man pauses after hearing the name and looks at them complexly, “Who are you?”

Kevin suggests Sunny with his looks. Sunny gets what he means and takes out the dairy from her bag, and steps forward.

“Hello, master. I'm Sunny Ellen, the daughter of Steven Ellen and Jessie Reyes.”

Greg takes a look at the familiar cover of the diary, which is the one he gave to his apprentice.

He hands out and takes it.

Then he casually looks through few pages and determines the identity of these two people.

“You... you’re Sunny, right? You have grown much taller.”

Sunny looks at the old man in front of her whose eyes are full of tears, “How are you? Mr. Greg?”

Greg nods, “Good girl. You and your mother are both good girls.”

Kevin interrupts, “If you don’t mind, shall we come in and have a sit?”

Greg nods and makes them a way, “Come in quickly.”

After two of them walking in the house, they find that the layout here is very similar to that of the Ellen family. They look at each other with suspicions.

“Have a sit. The condition here is not good. I only have a simple meal here. Do you have your lunch?”

Sunny touches her stomach embarrassedly, “Thank you.”

Greg smiles and shakes his head, “You are the same as your mother.”

Speaking of this, Sunny turns gloomy, “My mother left when I was young. I have no impression of her...”

Greg looks at her and sighs, “Yes, it’s a pity. Miss Misery.”

Sunny continues, “So could you tell me something about my mother so that when I remember her later, I won't have a blank in my mind...”

Greg doesn’t doubt and he sighs. He seems to fall into his memory.

“Your mother. The name fits.”

“I used to be a famous person in the headhunting company. I have received two apprentices in my life, one is your father, the other is your mother. Your father and I like a father and son get along with each other. He respects me. But sometimes he likes to play trick and pretend to be aggrieved.”

“Your mother is different. She is a very gentle person and easy to be shy. She will be shy for a long time when your father said to her.”

Something that is witnessed and heard by oneself is different from being told by the party.

Time flies while Sunny is listening to the stories Greg told, she continues to eat.

But they don’t hear what they want to know after Greg talks for a long time.

So Kevin has to interrupt him, “To be honest, Mr. Greg, we are here for another purpose.”

Hearing this, Greg is not surprised and just replies, “I know.”

After hearing what Greg said, Kevin and Sunny are so surprised. They think he is Jack of all trades.

“What you want to know is the PY Gangster, which recently come back to make trouble?”

“Do you know that?”

“I know,” Greg says, “Because I am one of them.”

What he says makes them frightened.

Then Greg continues, “What I said is the former PY Gangster. Now this one is a rubbish.”

Kevin 's intuition is that Greg must know something, so he goes on asking, “Why do you say so? what's wrong with this PY Gangster now?”

Greg starts to say slowly after pondering.

“You must have learned something about the PY Gangster in the past. It was organized by a group of powerful people to facilitate their work. The original intention was good. But gradually, the people below began to disobey the discipline and deceive superiors and subordinates. So The differences were revealed.”

“Some people suggest dissolving it to prevent more troubles. The suggests were given by the powerful people. But some of them were not willing to. So they broke up in disorder.”

“Until something happened later, the people at the bottom swaggered around in the name of the people in the upper, which finally attracted the attention of the police and prosecutors. Therefore, the PY Gangster was in danger at that time.”

“The original intention of many people to set up PY Gangster was to facilitate their own affairs. As you know, something they did was illegal. Many of them were afraid and even absent in the weekly meeting after being monitored.”

“At that time, there was already a police undercover in the gangster, so the leader had to say something carefully before the police undercover was found. Then many people seceded and only some underlings create a disturbance.”
