A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 80

Kevin nods, then the cop gets in the boy’s car and they disappear at the end of the stakeout.

“Everybody, all efforts are made to search for Monty. We must not spare this humiliation of the police force.”

And those policemen are very angry. Their honor has been ruined by this man

“Well, Mr. Quinn, now you can go back and wait for the news. We’ll let you know when we track down the last address of this car.”

Kevin nods. He pulls out his cell phone, calls someone, and keeps talking.

“Mr. Quinn,” Barney says sternly, “We must punish Monty severely, so you may rest assured.”

Kevin says yes and then leaves.

On the other hand, Ellison hangs up and looks serious.

Kelly asks curiously, “What’s wrong?”

Ellison says laconically, pointing his fingers at the table, “Sunny is missing.”

Kelly says, “What do you say? You mean that Sunny is missing.”

“Yes, Your sister in law.”

...

“I’ve told her yesterday to be more careful. How could she be missing so quick...”

“It looks like someone can’t wait.”

“Ellison, you have to save her...” Kelly grabs Ellison’s arm and begs.

And Ellison, seems to be used to the current state. He hugs Kelly and then nods.

“Don’t worry, I’ll get her back.” And his younger brother, who has never been willing to ask for help, pleads with him this time. There is no reason for him to let it go.

Kelly leans into his arms, nods, and closes her eyes

Kevin goes back to gather all his partners together and teaches them one by one.

“Our purpose is to get Miss Ellen out, so we have to cooperate with anyone, and if the police get the news and ask us to do something, we have to cooperate with them."

Kevin knows these people. In their opinions, everything is bullshit, except for his orders, so he says it over and over again until everyone nods.

“Good, that’s it. Go back and wait for the police’s news, understand?"

"Yes!"

That night, he returned to the house in the western suburbs. Just two days ago, Sunny made sex with him in the bed and he understood her heart here, but now...

Kevin shakes his head, forces himself to calm down, and begins running through the clue.

They kidnap Zola at the beginning, and ask Zola to tell Sunny to be careful. But they are tracking down the clue about PY Gangster at that time.

So does someone want them to check it out, or doesn’t someone want them to check it out?

Kevin thinks for a long time before he realizes that there should be two groups of people. One group wants them to go on and find out the reason why PY Gangster breaks up, but the other group wants to cover up the truth.

But does Bella belong to which group?

He tries to control himself, but he can’t help thinking.

Kevin keeps busy with his business, and gradually, after the company goes public, other people invest in it, which helps make his company bigger and bigger.

When his career is successful, he sometimes feels a sense of emptiness and begins to wonder what he really wants.

He also looks for various types of women, but always feels like a lack of something. Sometimes he dreams of a woman with a blurred face, wakes up and looks helplessly at his wet pajama pants.

He is in a restaurant waiting for someone to talk about things, but the person who does not come on time.

Kevin has no choice but to order a cup of tea and wait.

What he doesn’t expect is that he would be Bella’s ex-boyfriend, Jonathan.

When they see each other, they are a little unnatural.

Kevin is generous and reaches out his hand, “Kevin.”

Then, Jonathan also reaches out his hand, “I am Jonathan.”|

He should have gotten straight to the point, but Kevin wants to know more about Bella.

“Do you know Bella comes back home?”

“Bella?” Jonathan asks.

Then he comes up with an affirmative answer, “You like her.”

Kevin doesn’t expect Jonathan to make such a statement. He sprays the table with a mouthful of tea.

“Sorry, I am sorry.” Kevin takes a tissue to him and Jonathan says it does not matter.

“If you like her, you should have pursued her, instead of saying anything to me.” Jonathan says.

But Kevin replies, “I don’t like her. I just care about her. She was good to me before.”

Jonathan smiles with indifference, “It’s ok. Because we break up.”

Then Kevin finds that there’s a fire burning all around me, but I can’t smell it.

Kevin is a little flustered, but he takes a look at Jonathan in front of him and notices that he’s still calm.

“Hurry up, or we won’t be able to get out.” Jonathan looks at Kevin thoughtfully, nods and is about to stand up. But at his moment, a beam falls off and hits between them.

Kevin looks up and finds that this restaurant is all made of mahogany. If it starts a fire, it’ll burn into a piece.

Vaguely, Kevin sees Bella, who is looking anxiously at him and trying to pick him up or get out.

“Bella, I like you...”Kevin thinks that he can not survive so he decides to express his love to her.

But Kevin does not find Bella’s complicated look as he utters these words.

She says in spoken English, “I’m sorry.”

Kevin is a little confused as Bella drags him outside. Then she looks down and thinks for a moment, as if she has made up her mind. she turns to Kevin and gives him a big, bright smile, “I am sorry. I can only return for your love in the next life.”

Before Kevin can figure out what she is going to do, Bella runs into the restaurant crazily, and the surrounding firefighters can’t stop her.

Kevin, on the other hand, can only watch Bella emerging into the flames, whose back is devoured by flames.

“No,”

Jonathan nods, “I’m sorry, but I use some dirty tricks to bring you here.”

Then, Kevin thinks that he is clearly at home to recall the past, how now in a strange environment.

“Do you have a nightmare?” Jonathan says as he passes Kevin a glass of water.

Kevin looks at the glass of water and hesitates.

“Take it easy, it’s not poisonous”

Jonathan seldom seems to make a joke.

“Well,” Kevin says suddenly after a sip, “I am dreaming about what happened before.”

Jonathan’s expression is not clear in the dark, “It’s been so long since the past.”

“It can’t be. As long as Bella comes back alive, this thing will always be uncovered again.”

Jonathan can’t refute him, so he just nods and says, “That’s right.”

“So, do you want to hear a story now? My version.”

Kevin skeptically looks at him, “Why all of a sudden tell me a story?”

“Maybe I feel sorry for Sunny.”

When Jonathan mentions Sunny, Kevin is still a little slow to react, but he soon understands, “Well.”

“Well, my version of the story might be a little different from yours.”

Kevin nods, “Tell me.”

“Bella and I met on a beach in America for reasons that are a little tricky. I mistake her for someone else.”

“I thought Bella was one of my friend. Anyone would be thrilled to meet someone in abroad. It was only after I greeted her that I realized I had mistaken her for someone else.”

“I was a little embarrassed, so I invited her to dinner, but she didn’t refuse. It was our first meeting.”

“As I got to know her better, I realized how wrong I had been to think she was pure.”

“Well, I break up with her because we have different ideas, but it isn’t quite true. She does anything to get what she wants, and I’m sure you know that. But I only find out afterwards, including our meeting at the seaside, that she has arranged it beforehand.”

Jonathan tells him too much and Kevin keeps silent.

Jonathan looks at him and then continues, “I am shocked when I learn something. And I asked her if she was using me all the time. She did not answer me, but I know her. If she doesn’t want to explain, it means that those things are true.”
