A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 78

“How can you guys be like that, at least take your responsibility?”

The police waves his hand impatiently, “The patient should just go to bed and don’t come to meddle, do you know that a case without much clues eventually will only become an unsolved case?”

“But how can you just close the case even without trying to solve it?”

“Then why don’t you show me how to solve the case?”

Sunny is so angry that she can’t say a word and goes back to her room.

Kevin who has just come in from outside sees Sunny pouting in anger, and so he asks, “What’s wrong?”

“That cop, he was really irresponsible, I’m pissed off.”

“What’s wrong with the cop?”

“They didn’t even investigate and directly closed the case as an accident, that’s way too sloppy!”

Kevin smiles helplessly, “Baby, you need to understand that some things won’t just go as you wish. For the cops, this kind of case is just wasting of time, so normally they will directly close it unless someone keeps pestering.”

“But…that’s Greg…I haven’t even asked him about my parents and he’s just gone…”

Kevin can only try his best to appease her, “We’ll still have other clues, we’ll go back and study your father’s diary and account book again, and look for other clues.”

“The most important thing right now is for you to recuperate your body, okay? Don’t forget that we have a baby now.”

Speaking of which, Sunny subconsciously touches her belly and nods, “I know…”

Kevin pats her head and says,” I’ll protect you, since Greg has told us to beware of Bella, we’ll have to keep our distance from her from now on.”

Sunny has a headache when Kevin mentioned about Bella, she looks up at him, “Can you bear to hurt her?”

Kevin wonders, “Why not?”

“She’s your saviour, but you may become the one who send her to jail, can you really bear with that?”

Kevin stays silent when he thinks of this problem, he subconsciously chooses to ignore this question.

“I…I also don’t know…” Kevin’s throat suddenly becomes astringent, he can hardly make a voice.

“Forget about it, don’t dwell on it, I’m feeling much better now, why don’t we go back first?”

However, Kevin is worried and calls the doctor, “It’s better to have a thorough examination.”

Sunny has no choice but to do as he says.

After being thoroughly checked by the doctor, the doctor signs her discharge permit.

“When you go back, you still have to control your emotion, don’t let it fluctuate too much, understand?”

“Yes, I understand.”

Kevin held onto Sunny carefully, he still hasn’t unravelled the knot in his heart, so he still subconsciously wants to make it clear.

“Sunny, listen to me.”

Sunny stops and sighs, “Say it.”

“Just now I said I don’t know because no matter what I’m still alive and standing right now because of her, so I can’t guarantee what I’ll do at critical moment, but you have to believe that you’re the only one in my heart.”

She actually understands even Kevin doesn’t tell her those words, so she pats on Kevin’s shoulder. “I understand.”

“Really? You really don’t mind?”

Sunny pouts and says, “There’s nothing to mind, as long as I know you love me, that’s enough.”

Upon hearing her words, Kevin suddenly feels like the weather outside is unusually good and the sky is extremely bright.

“Come, be careful.”

Kevin helps Sunny to get into the car, a light flashed out suddenly.

“Take care of yourself.” After Kevin gets Sunny into the car, he shuts the car door, then follows the direction of the flashing light.

It’s a young man holding a SLR camera in a car, looking at him in panic.

“Open the car window.” Kevin knocks the car door impatiently, signalling him not to challenge his patience.

The man shudders and rolls down the window, “What can I do for you?”

Kevin says peevishly, “Hand over your camera.”

The man may looks like a coward but he isn’t easy to fool, “Sir, this is my personal property, you can’t just take it from me.”

Kevin is apparently not so good-tempered when it comes to others, “Do you want to hand it over to me yourself? Or you want me to grab it and throw it in the trash?”

The young man in front of him clearly doesn’t expect him to be so fearless, and he shakily hands him his camera from the car window.

Kevin checks the photos inside the camera, and he sees a few photos of him together with Sunny as expected.

He sneers, and raises the camera in front of the man, “What else do you have to say about this?”

That man knows that he is caught red handed, so he can only bow his head, “I’m sorry, sir, I was wrong.”

“I don’t know what you’re up to, but…” Kevin slowly pulls out the SD card inside, “I can’t let you have this.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” The man seems to be really frightened and keeps apologizing.

Only then Kevin throws the camera back to him, “Keep it properly, and don’t look at it.”

When Kevin leaves, the cowering expression on the man’s face suddenly changes, and he looks at the car they are in with a devious face, then immediately turns the steering wheel and drives off.

Kevin thinks that he has solved a big problem and is humming with a song while walking back, but he suddenly realizes that something is a little off.

He quickly returns to where the car was parked, the car door that he has shut is now widely opened, and Sunny has disappeared.

“The driver, yes, where’s the driver?” Kevin is panicked and looks at the driver seat, but he finds out the driver’s chest is bleeding.

But he obviously didn’t hear the gunshot, did he use a silencer?

He knows that the police haven’t left yet so he immediately dials 999.

“Hello, my wife, my girlfriend has been kidnapped, yes, the driver was shot. I…I’m in front of the hospital now, the city hospital.”

After Kevin calls the police, he looks around the car, trying to find out some clues about the suspect.

But he finds nothing, nothing at all, the suspect seems to be skilful, without leaving behind any trace.

Kevin suddenly remembers the young man who has just snapped their photos, can it be a partner in crime?

Kevin is a man of action and will do whatever comes to his mind immediately.

But when he returns to the original place, the man is long gone.

Now only he knows that he was set up.

“Damn it!” Kevin kicks the car in anger several times, only he calms down and recalls the whole incident.

It is undeniably that they are being stalked, and based on the current situation, and it is obvious that they have been followed since they left home.

Who’s it…Bella?

Kevin is puzzled, and the police from the hospital come to the parking lot at this moment.

As soon as Kevin sees people in police uniforms, he doesn’t care who they are, he walks over.

“My girlfriend is missing.”

The one who deals with him is an older policeman who looks kind but with a strong aura.

Kevin takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, “I just got her into the car but because I saw someone taking photos of us, and in fact he was, so I went over to negotiate with him and deleted the photos. When I returned, my driver was shot to death and my girlfriend had disappeared.”

“From what you narrated, it seems like someone took your girlfriend away.”

“Yes, please believe me, and let me have a look at the surveillance cameras in the parking lot, I promise I can help you identify the suspect!”

The old policeman glances at Kevin, and then he receives a phone call from the police department.

“Got it, I’m working on the case now.”

After the old policeman hangs up the phone, he takes out a small notebook, “What’s your name, sir?”

“Kevin Quinn, this is my ID card.”

“Just call me Barney, did you hear anything when your girlfriend disappeared?”

“No…”

Kevin really doesn’t lie though, he really didn’t hear a single sound!

Barney frowns when he hears this, “Hayden, go negotiate with the hospital, we need to check the surveillance camera.”

Hayden receives his order and heads to the hospital with his police ID.

“Mr. Kevin, don’t worry first, can you describe your girlfriend’s appearance to me carefully?”

“Okay…”

Kevin is in a panic over here but Sunny isn’t much better.

She wakes up and finds herself in a place that’s pitch black all around her.

Her hands are tied up, and her phone is thrown somewhere.

“Is there anyone…help…”

As she is screaming for help, a creaking sound is heard, it sounds like a door that hasn’t been used for a long time is opened.

Seeing the door being opened bit by bit, a person walks in against the light.

Sunny narrows her eyes in discomfort when she suddenly sees the light, that person walks in front of her in just a short moment.

“Sunny Ellen?” Upon hearing the strange voice, Sunny’s first reaction is that she is using a voice changer.

“Who are you?”
