The more Andrea spoke, the more agitated she became, causing team leader Gavin’s scalp to tingle. Fortunately, at that moment, a middle-aged man with the rank of colonel on his shoulder entered swiftly from outside. He barely glanced at Benjamin and his people, then focused on Andrea.“Comrade Andrea, your family just called and asked you to come home for a while. Your superiors have approved a month’s leave for you. If you have no matters to hand over, you can finish work now.”Seeing the colonel approaching, Andrea’s expression did not soften. On the contrary, she became even more furious, slamming her hand on the table and shouting.“Why? Why do you have to do this? Those bastards truly deserve to die. I want them all to pay for the mistakes they’ve made. I want an investigation, and I want those wretches brought to justice.”At this point, the city’s public security bureau chief couldn’t help but frown. However, his attitude towards Andrea remained gentle.“Andrea, the chief has d
The following day, Benjamin woke up early. After a deep sleep the night before, he felt refreshed. However, as he left his room and planned to head downstairs, he suddenly overheard a conversation between the Taylor family members.“Isabella, how is Winston doing? I heard he got beaten up a few days ago. Is it true?”Upon hearing the question, Isabella responded: “Yes, it’s true.”Hearing this, Raelynn’s demeanor instantly turned furious, and her voice grew louder.“Those despicable people! How dare they lay a hand on my son-in-law! No, Isabella, you must go with me to the hospital today to visit Winston.”At this point, Isabella’s movements hesitated slightly, and her eyebrows furrowed somewhat. However, after a moment, she nodded in agreement.“Okay, later, I’ll go with Mom to visit him.”Hearing Isabella’s consent, Raelynn’s face became delighted. However, as the sound of Benjamin’s footsteps approached, her expression changed 180 degrees, revealing extreme disdain. Moreover, she e
Seeing Benjamin’s gaze, Isabella’s face momentarily turned red. However, she quickly regained her composure and glared at him.“What are you thinking? I want to treat you to breakfast as a way of thanking you for your help these past few days!”Upon hearing Isabella’s words, Benjamin’s expression became even more puzzled. He hadn’t been thinking anything. He just felt surprised, wondering if Isabella had taken some strange medicine. This was the first time Isabella invited him to a meal, even if it was just breakfast.However, after a while, Benjamin’s face turned sour. Suddenly, Olivia called him, leaving him unsure how to respond.“What’s going on? Who’s calling you at this hour? If you’re busy, you can take me to the office first. Afterward, you can go about your business.”Seemingly noticing Benjamin’s discomfort, Isabella’s voice sounded from behind him. However, her tone conveyed a hint of unfamiliarity. Through the rearview mirror, Benjamin could even see Isabella’s eyebrows sl
"Olivia, where do you want to go now? Do you want to take a walk around the city with me? It's been a long time since I've had the chance to explore the city, and I wonder if anything has changed?!"After finishing breakfast, the two went down to the parking lot. Suddenly, Benjamin made a suggestion that caught Olivia a bit off-guard. However, after briefly pondering, she nodded in agreement."Of course, I don't have anything else to do.""Alright, then get in the car. I'll take you to some interesting places. I can guarantee you've never been to places like these before."As he spoke, Benjamin quickly opened the car door, allowing Olivia to sit in the passenger seat while he took his place behind the wheel. Hearing Benjamin's words, Olivia's eyes showed a hint of curiosity.Olivia was not a native of the city. She had come here to work and stayed in the town for more than ten years. Though this was a considerable amount of time, Olivia hardly ventured out except for work and had few f
Olivia had never encountered a situation like this before, so her expression became extremely awkward. However, before Benjamin could respond, the group inside the car had already gotten out. There were about four of them, each carrying a large bag. Furthermore, as Benjamin observed, they all seemed to be armed.“Damn it, how unlucky can we be? This stupid car loses its brakes at such a crucial moment?!”“Boss, what should we do now? The police are chasing us from behind. If we don’t find a way to escape, they’ll catch us soon.”At that moment, a young man appeared somewhat frightened, his eyes constantly glancing toward the far end of the road. Although he couldn’t hear the police sirens, he still felt a sense of unease in his heart.However, the others did not have time to pay much attention. One of them, who seemed vicious, turned his eyes toward Benjamin’s car parked opposite them.“Boss, there’s a car over there. Why don’t we go steal it and continue our escape?”The boss was a m
"A..."Blood instantly stained the middle-aged man's face. The pain quickly overwhelmed him, making him feel even more frightened. But things were far from over. The head robber, still furious, raised his foot and kicked the man in the chest once more."Please... stop hitting me! I beg you, don't hit me anymore!"The middle-aged man felt increasingly terrified from the pain of the beating and the robbers' angry expressions. Meanwhile, the two other robbers had already taken control of the young woman and began forcing her into the car's back seat."Please... please, don't do this. I... I beg you!"Inside the car, the young woman's voice grew increasingly frightened. Additionally, the sound of rustling clothes was continuous, making the middle-aged man's face turn even paler. However, he didn't dare to say a word at this moment, as the boss's gun was pointed at his head, accompanied by a highly menacing grin."Don't worry. Wait until my two guys finish with your girlfriend, and they'll
A short while later, the city police arrived on the scene. They found all four robbers lying on the ground and the hijacked car wrecked. In that instant, none of the officers could understand what had just happened.After a while, when they obtained information from the young woman's testimony, they learned that someone had taken action against the robbers. At this point, all the police were utterly astonished...."Benjamin, are you alright?"As he drove back to the old road, Benjamin had just stepped out of the car when he saw Olivia's anxious expression, her eyes questioning his well-being.He shook his head slightly and smiled at Olivia, saying: “I'm fine. Now, do you want me to take you home?"Seeing Benjamin was genuinely unharmed, Olivia finally breathed a small sigh of relief. However, upon hearing his question, she hesitated a bit. In truth, she hadn't been injured at all. She was worried that Benjamin had been hurt during the fight with the robbers, so she wanted him to go t
By now, Benjamin no longer wished to threaten Edwyn. He slowly stood up and walked over to Edwyn, smiling."I don't want anything. I want to ask, what is the nature of your relationship with Secretary Clara?"At this point, Edwyn's expression became even stranger. However, upon seeing the knife in Benjamin's hand approaching his face, he couldn't help but quickly confess."There's... there's no relationship. I... I just wanted to use her to steal some confidential documents from On The Peak Corporation. But that hasn't happened yet. So, can you let me go this time?"By now, Edwyn dared not confront Benjamin and could only bow down, begging for mercy. However, Benjamin did not immediately respond. His eyes scanned Edwyn's body.Then, he suddenly raised his hand and gently patted Edwyn's face."I didn't want to ask you about this. You told me yourself. So, if something happens in the future, you can't blame me, right?"As he spoke, Benjamin pulled out his phone and waved it before Edwyn
