On the way to the gate, She met Avril and Hal who were rushing over.
As soon as she saw Polly, Avril's worried face immediately eased a lot. She ran over to hold her hand and said, "Dear Polly, why do you come so late? Hal and I are coming to you! Did they do anything to you? "
"No, nothing," said Polly Han, shaking her head
She wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Hal, "let's go. Talk on the way!"
Avril kept asking for a long time, but Polly just answered. Jean, she ordered in a condescending tone that she should break up with Bruce.
She didn't tell Avril that Jean had threatened her with the video. On that day, Avril had called Owen here. What should she say?
Avril had good intentions and done bad things, she would definitely blame herself to death.
As they passed a gas station, their car passed an oncoming taxi. At that time, Polly was looking around restlessly and she saw the man on the passenger seat of a taxi at a glance.
Although he dressed in a different style and wore sunglasses, she recognized at a glance that he was her stepfather, Jared Zhou.
"Hal, pull over the car!"
"What's wrong?" Despite his confusion, he made a turn and pulled over his car.
During the process, Polly kept fixing his eyes on that car. When Hal stopped the car, the taxi stopped at the gas station.
At first, they thought the taxi was going to get gas, but then the passenger door was pushed open and Jared walked out. But the taxi had not left yet. It was at noon in the remote area. There were no pedestrians except cars that were constantly speeding past.
It should be Jared who had instructed him to wait. This was the most reasonable explanation.
After getting off the car, Jared looked around. Polly was afraid of being seen, she lowered her head.
"Dear Polly? Who is he?" Avril asked.
"He is my stepfather, Jared Zhou." Polly lowered her voice, though there was still a long distance between them.
"What? Didn't you just say that he... " She took a look at her watch and asked, "why is he here? Why do he come to the gas station now? "
"I don't know."
"He looks normal, and he doesn't look like..." Avril found it inappropriate to continue so she turned to another topic. "Polly? Are you sure he's your stepfather? To be honest, I can't see his face clearly. It's a little far. "
"Yes, I'm sure."
Hal interjected a word, his look some anxiety, "so, I now drive the car past, look closer. Since the car is out of gas, I got out of the car to refuel the car. You can watch out he is or not. "
He used to be a psychotic patient, but now he suddenly rushed out like a normal person, which would make everyone doubt him. Could there be something else behind his father's disappearance?
As if he didn't see the target, Jared stood where he was. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and was about to light it. At a glance, he saw the sign forbidding the cigarette, and then took the cigarette back.
At that moment, a black Bentley car stopped beside him. The window was rolled down slowly, revealing a beautiful face. Jared walked over to the woman. He took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and handed it to her.
At the same time, Hal sped up and almost ran to him. Just as Jared took back his hand, he bumped into Jared's face, making the sunglasses on his face fall onto the floor.
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" While apologizing, he picked up his sunglasses and handed them to him.
Jared Zhou took over the sunglasses, and after casting a glance at Hal, he turned around and left.
"Do you see it clearly, Polly? Is that man your father? " Avril couldn't wait to ask when he turned around.
"Look at him carefully. He is my stepfather."
"He is your stepfather, which means that your stepfather is not..." Avril thought over the words, "he should be a normal person! Do you think that your father will have twin brothers who look exactly like him? "
"I've never heard of it."
"Then give him a call and ask him."
Thinking of something, Polly asked casually, "who do you want to call?"
"Who else can you call? you can call your mother or Owen!" "I'm sorry," Avril immediately apologized, as she saw the dejected look on Polly's face! Don't mind it! "
"I know." Her heart was in pain.
"Polly, Lily seems to be calling me. I have to go and see her! You and your sister are the same. How can she kicked the quilt when she sleep! "
She was so anxious just now that she didn't even notice it. Now she realized that her mother and Lily were in the night. But she didn't care about it.
"Mom! Please wait a moment! " The phone was hung up before she could finish her words.
Apparently, her mother didn't want to tell her, which made her feel more that something was wrong with that year. There were some other reasons for Owen's leaving, maybe because of his father's disappearance right now.
She must make it clear, or else she would be restless.
She couldn't help but dial Owen's number. When she was about to dial, she suddenly remembered something and deleted the number one by one.
She was afraid of the truth all of a sudden!
After they finished, they got in the car. When Hal came back, he asked, "how's it going? Are you sure?"
"Yes! He is my father, Jared Zhou! "
"If that man is your father, how could he..."
The atmosphere in the car was depressed.
After a long while, Hal breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Dear Polly, I think it's better for you to ask Bruce about it."
Why did he pretend to be insane? It was not easy for him to get rid of the doctor's notice if he wanted to pretend to be sick. Unless someone helped him.
His father's affairs, including the negative news online, his debts to be paid, his hospitalization in the psychiatric hospital and so on, were all handled by Bruce.
He must have known the truth.
Her heart seemed to drop as if she was placed in a very high place. The more she thought about it, the more empty she felt. It seemed that everyone around her was different from what they looked like. It was a bad feeling and she hated this kind of feeling very much.
She tried to calm herself down and said to Hal calmly, "Hal, I need you to help me find someone to investigate my father!"
