A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 68

She knows that Winson is trying to help her, but Sunny is not very hot about meeting him alone today, maybe it is because of Kevin’s visit, but maybe there is another reason.

He is still her boss though, and she called him her teacher, so she has no choice but to listen to him and stay after work.

Finally everyone has left to go home, and Sunny has the chance to go to Winson’s office, “Sir, what do you need from me?”

Winson points at the chair opposite to the desk, and says, “Sit down.”

Sunny does as she is told, if she guessed it right, Winson is going to ask her about Kevin.

And she is right, Winson doesn’t even talk around the topic and gets straight to it, “That guy, you know him right?”

Sunny nods carefully.

“Don’t let him come here anymore in the future, it makes a bad impression.”

“Okay... what?” Sunny doesn’t expect him say something like that to her, she got so stunned that she sits up straight in her chair.

“What does you think?” Winson taps on the table, as if he can see what she is thinking about.

“Yeah, I will take care in the future.”

“Alright then, that’s it, you can go.”

Sunny immediately gets up from her chair, and is just about to leave, when Winson asks her another question, “That guy, is he a Quinn?”

Sunny nods, and waits for him to ask more, but he just says, “It’s alright, you can go.”

She finally leaves the office, goes to her desk to take her bag and gets out of the building.

Just when she is out, her cell rings, it is Lora calling her.

She is a little annoyed by that, and she also doesn’t really want to pick this call.

But then Sunny thinks that she probably needs something, so she answers, “What’s up.”

“Sunny, you need to help Zola, someone took her!”

Lora sounds horrified, as if she just went through something terrible.

But Sunny is very annoyed by her, “I haven’t done anything, stop calling me, your daughter is your own business, solve it yourself.”

“Sunny, you cannot be so heartless, yes, we have done things to you, but we are still family!”

“Shut it. Where is she?”

Sunny has no immunity to this “family” thing, so she agrees to help her.

“I saw that that guy has a tattooed arm, it looked frightening, I ...”

“does they say anything to you?”

“Nothing, only that this is a cycle, and this is the payback to something, I ... Sunny... you have to save Zola!”

“Let’s see. I can’t do that by myself, and you have given me nothing to start the search with.”

“There... there is something. They said they are the Ping’s Mafia.”

Ping’s? That is the biggest mafia group in the city, what did Zola do to offend these people?

Sunny struggles a little and says, “You should call the police.”

“They said they do not want the police involved, if we call them, they will...”

A cycle, why does this sound so wrong? What did Zola do?

“Try to remember, has Zola has contact with some weird people these days? I will hang up now, and call the police.”

“Okay, if I remember anything I will call you.”

“Okay.”

When Sunny hags up the call, she stands there for a long time, and then calls Kevin.

Kevin is still angry at her, and when he sees that Sunny is calling him, he is convinced that she is calling to apologize, he is staring at the screen for a while before he picks up.

“Yea?”

“You...” Sunny doesn’t know what to say, but she couldn’t say nothing either, “Are you busy?”

“No, what’s up?” Kevin lies, he is leaning on his desk, his hand playing with a pen.

“Zola got is kidnapped, by the Ping’s.”

Kevin let the pen fall on the table and says in shock, “Say that again?!”

“Zola is kidnapped, by the Ping’s.”

“How do you know it’s them?”

“I only know they has tatted arms, nothing more.”

This is already enough for Kevin to make sure they are the Ping’s, it is like a rule in their mafia, that everyone needs to get their arms tatted before joining.

“How does Zola get involved with these people?”

“I have no idea, Lora just said something about what goes around comes back around.”

The cycle... When Kevin hears these words, it is running down cold his back. When that fire happened all those years ago, he has heard the same words...

“I ... I will call the police first, and there is something I need to think about, I will call you later.”

Sunny hangs up the phone, if she doesn’t hear it wrong, then something is different in Kevin’s voice.

“Hello, is this the police?”
