A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 87

Baron quite agrees with that, especially when he has the chance to see the child of that person again after long years, and the child has even grown up.

“You’re right. Cheers! I’ll empty it, please enjoy yourselves.” Baron is sort of demotivated suddenly, he takes up his goblet in his hand, finishing his wine.

At this moment, a girl who is dressed so weirdly walks over. “Sir, Ms., I’m here to freshen the drink for you.”

A few people give her a glance, with saying nothing, they hand out their goblets obediently, and everything seems to show that they have broken free from Kevin successfully.

On the other hand, Kevin who is swearing at the door of Troy receives a short message and an attachment of photo is found from its content.

Kevin’s pupils shrink suddenly as he clicks on the photo.

Surprisingly, there is a woman with her hands tied behind her back in the photo, Bella!

“You’re not dead.” Hurriedly, Kevin calls Ellison. “Ellison, she’s not dead, she’s still alive!”

Ellison wakes up in the morning, he doesn’t even have time to understand what’s going on, and then he hears his younger brother shouting on the other end of the line. “Bella’s still alive!”

If so, there is something funny about the matter. Kevin rubs his temples, having a look at Kelly who is still sleeping on the bed peacefully, then he walks to the balcony with his phone in hand. “How do you know?”

Kevin replies, “Someone has sent a photo to me, it can be seen from the photo that Bella has been kidnapped.”

Ellison analyzes, “Is it possible that the photo was shot the other day?”

However, he soon negates this answer, it just takes less than a single day since she ran away and being kidnapped afterward, how could the photo have been shot a few days ago?

“Where’re you now?”

“I’m at Troy’s house.”

“You go home first. I will go meet up with Jonathan first, then we’ll come to you together. Now, let’s see if you can track the location of that phone.”

“It won’t work. That man sent the message to me with an anonymous phone number, it can’t be tracked.”

“Then you just wait for him. He will send the photo to you for the first time, he sure will have the second time. I’m coming now.”

“Well.” Kevin hangs up the phone despondently, looking up to the overcast sky, he feels a bit out of breath.

Ellison kisses Kelly, who is drowsy on the forehead and says to her, “I’m going out to run an errand.”

Then he calls Jonathan directly, telling him Bella might not die.

When he is on the way, he receives a report from his subordinates, whom he has sent to investigate the news.

“Boss, I’ve checked the corpse as you said. There are no traces of burns on her body, except that they look the same, so we’re sure it’s fake.”

“Have you checked their DNA?”

“Yeah, but the result is still pending.”

“Alright, inform me when the result comes out.”

Speaking of which, he turns the steering wheel, parking his car outside a mansion in the western suburbs.

“Irene, are you there? Can you open the door for me?”

Irene greets him as she hears his voice. “Young master, how do you come here early in the morning? Master Kevin has gone out not long ago…”

“Yeah, I know. I’m waiting for him here, you just open the door for me.”

Irene opens the door and asks Ellison solicitously, “Young master, have you had breakfast yet?”

At this moment, he only finds out that he was so hurried this morning and his stomach is still empty.

“Give me some breakfast, there’s another man coming later, I don’t think he has his breakfast too.”

Irene goes to prepare breakfast as he said.

It doesn’t take long for him to sit down, and Jonathan arrives. “You said you have news about Bella?”

Ellison nods, “Kevin has called me just now, he said that someone has sent him an anonymous message.”

“Where’s he?”

“I think he’s on his way.”

After a while, Irene appears from the kitchen with the prepared breakfast. “Young Master, he is?”

“I’m Jonathan, I came here yesterday.”

Irene nods, “Yes, I’ve got some impression on you.”

Jonathan put a smile on his face. “Irene, you’re such a good cook, the food smells good.”

“Haha, please enjoy yourself, I’ll go first.”

After Irene has left, Ellison only says, “The subordinates I sent for investigation told me that despite their same face, there’s not a scar on her.”

Jonathan says, “That’s impossible, I remember Bella has scars on her body, these scars can’t even be wiped out through a plastic surgery.”

“So?” Ellison spreads out his hands.

“But the result of DNA testing hasn’t come out yet, but I’m sure we’ll get the result soon, what we can do now is wait.”

“Wait?”

“Wait for Kevin, or wait for the masterminds coming for us themselves.”

Jonathan says, “There’s a problem I don’t quite understand. If the masterminds are on PY Gangster’s side, then they must be having an objective specifically from the beginning and what they’ve done now is to achieve that goal. But it’s been so long, we still can’t figure out their intention.”

“About this question, only the people in those days might be able to answer.”

“Would the Hawkins family like to…”

“They won’t.”

Kevin arrives in the midst of their conversation. As he sees two cars at the door, he knows that they are both here. He gets off of the car immediately, shutting the car door, and walking into the mansion.

“Ellison, Jonathan!”

“You’re back.”

Ellison is not surprised that he comes back alone, but Jonathan keeps looking behind him. “Where’s my apprentice?”

“He has run away.” Kevin sits down with a straight face, taking out his phone, showing the message to both of them.

“Her scars look fresh.”

Jonathan says confidently.

But Kevin is surprised at his words, “I thought you’re working at the Department of Design in the HL group.”

Jonathan gives him a glance. “Does no one tell you that I’ve change my career? I actually have the doctor license.”

“It certainly is! If not, you’re committing an illegal medical practice.” Silently, he makes a complaint in the depth of his heart, then retreats to silence.

Ellison and Jonathan then continue their conversation.

“The abrasions are fresh and look like they’ve just added, moreover, there’s not a scar on the corpse, the news of Bella’s death must be fake and she is most probably still alive.”

After the words, Ellison’s phone rings, it is the call from 

“Boss, something is wrong…” He is sort of tongue-tied.

Ellison has a bad vibe, “What’s wrong? You just say.”

“The result of DNA testing has verified that the decedent is the eldest daughter of the Hawkins family indeed.”

Since Ellison put him on speaker, , everyone lapses into silence as soon as he makes the comment.

Ten thousand question marks emerge and float in their hearts.

This matter is getting trickier and more difficult. 

At this moment, Kevin also receives a phone call, he answers the call.

“Hello?”

“You’re going to lose your most precious thing.”

His voice has been transformed with a voice changer, therefore, Kevin fails to identify the owner of this voice.

As he hears he is about to lose his most precious thing, Kevin’s face suddenly changes color. “Sunny!”

In the meantime, an airplane explodes in midair, the sparks flash at every bound while the fuselage is blown to pieces.

Now five years have passed and it’s the time for them to meet each other again.

When Sunny takes a flight back again, she gazes at the familiar scenery outside the window, overwhelming with a mixed emotion. “Unconsciously, it all happened so long ago.”

A little girl in the side hears the words and chimes in, “Mummy, have you been here before?”

Hearing this, Troy and Baron can’t help to laugh.

“What’re you laughing at?”

They are so laid back, but to the contrary, Kevin is tied up in his office as usual. He has been so busy with the non-stop cycle of meetings and business trips.

He has just, for one thing, become different. There is a female personal assistant beside him, although she does not look the same with his former personal assistant, their facial features are rather similar to each other. 

It occasions a great deal of talk in the company.

“Five years ago, do you still remember Sunny? It’s tragic that she has passed away in a plane explosion…”

“Really? You don’t lie to me, do you?”

“Why should I lie to you? I still remember that time when Boss’s behavior was totally out of his character.”

At this moment, a shrill high-pitched voice comes from behind. “Are you idle now?”

Everyone looks back, unexpectedly, the speaker is the personal assistant of their boss.

Someone ticks her off, “Lettie Clarke, don’t give yourself airs, what else will you do other than to seduce our boss?”

“That’s it.” The other one takes over the words. “She doesn’t look at what she looks like, how dare she be a temptress to seduce our boss!”

Lettie can’t outargue them, then rolls her eyes and says, “You guys speak ill of people behind their back, aren’t you worried that I might tell the boss on you?

But no one takes it seriously. “Just go and tell us on, we feel like seeing what you can tell the boss.”

Lettie smiles, but in the blink of an eye, she changes the smile to a pitiful look, saying to the man behind them, “Boss, they’re bullying me!”

Now they’ve just hit the panic button, slowly, they swivel round to face Kevin who is standing behind them with an empurpled face.

Instantly, the colors drain from their faces. “Boss, we go do our work first.”

Under the triumphant eyes of Lettie, the crowd go off with their tails between their legs, but they silently despise her at the bottom of their heart.

Nonetheless, Lettie doesn’t give a hoot about them. She is going to be the wife of the CEO, she doesn’t have to make a fuss over such a trifle with these people.

When Kevin turns around, she follows behind him directly. “Boss, is there anything I need to do today?”

Kevin falls into a trance when looking at her face, he seems to have seen his former...

But Kevin retracts the idea soon. “Let’s visit Snail Shell today to see how it is now under the management of Watson.”

“Alright, boss. Are we going together, or am I going alone?”

“I still have things to do, you can go by yourself.”

After the words, Kevin goes to his office packing up his stuff, then he heads for a place where he has never absented himself under any circumstance every year of today. However, today’s trip seems rather unpleasant, the moment he drives out of the underground garage, a little girl runs into the street.

She wears her hair in two braids, rolling her big round eyes, a trace of panic flashes in her eyes as the car is about to hit her.

As Kevin sees that she doesn’t try to dodge him, he slams the brake on.

The little girl is frightened to fall over on the ground.

“Are you okay?”

Kevin quickly gets out of the car to check it out, that little girl looks about four years old. He can’t help to fall into a melancholy thought, if she’s still alive, their kid should’ve grown this big as well.
