Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 227

The sun shone surprisingly warm and bright, making most people feel uncomfortable. The light was strong enough to pierce through the windows and every little crevice of buildings. Only when the curtains were closed could the dazzling light be kept outside.

Eddy occasionally cried and screamed until he finally fell asleep. At this time, Anne could finally heave a sigh of relief.

She was going to contact Mark and take Eddy with her. Selma hadn’t been here for three days, which she thought was the best opportunity for her.

Mark suddenly called and when she answered the phone, only bad news came.

"Ian is currently abroad, apparently he met an enemy. And I don't know where he is now exactly. Anne, looks like we need to do it ourselves," said Mark.

There was, quite naturally, a hint of hesitation in his voice.

When Anne heard about this, her heart sank and she began to worry about Ian’s safety.

"Is he okay?" Anne asked as a frown on her face deepened further.

Unfortunately, the answer was also uncertain. "I don’t know. His subordinates said that they’d last seen him in France. But don’t worry, Ian is a legend. Once he was able to avoid a whole team of assassins all by himself."

"I hope he’ll be fine," Anne said with a heavy heart.

"Well, for now, you take Eddy out. I’ve already booked a ticket to France. When we arrive, you should go to Ian’s place first. Things will be easier from then on."

She couldn’t help but feel that it was out of place, but she eventually agreed to do what he said.

Meanwhile, in K Country…

In the darkness of the night, there were constant gunshot sounds from an abandoned residence. The moon was strangely dim, making it difficult for one to see clearly what was happening. People could only feel the cold wind blow through their whole being.

With his back against an old oil drum, Ian tried his absolute best to avoid making any noise.

He didn’t know where these people came from, but he had a definite idea who ordered them.

It was the plot of the XY Group. They wanted to maximize the benefits, and if they couldn’t make him cooperate with them, they decided to try and bring him down.

However, what they didn't expect was that he reacted quickly and saw right through their tricks.

As long as he could survive tonight, his men would find him and these people would eventually be caught.

His eyes were gloomy, and his expression stoic. His breath was cold that it almost faded into the night.

Feeling the tremor of the approaching footsteps, he kept his composure and didn't make even a slight move. There were too many people coming one after another, so he couldn't guarantee what would happen the moment his hideout was exposed. He resembled that of a hungry wolf waiting patiently in the dark to grab its prey.

A small bottle rolled over. The man who rushed over was immediately alerted to the noise and shouted, "Shit!"

His greedy eyes reflected in the darkness of the night.

Killing Ian would guarantee him a handful of riches, as stated in the secret contract. This was his one and only chance, if he succeeded, he wouldn't have to go to work a day in his life.

He tried to run over to the bottle, but someone grabbed his neck from behind.

Ian was quick and ruthless. In a little less than ten seconds, the man could only struggle for a brief moment and died almost immediately.

Considering that someone would be alerted of his presence if they saw a corpse, he grabbed the body and hid it into a corner and covered it with whatever object he could find.

At this point, his eyes were filled with crimson light of fury.

He didn’t choose to be their enemy, but he also didn’t expect that there would always be someone out there who wanted to bring him down this badly.

After all, he wasn’t just a regular businessman. He had been cleaning up after his father’s mess all these years, and so his reputation was only known to those who knew how to keep it a secret. So people who were reckless enough to challenge his authority kept appearing.

The night was gradually getting bright and the surroundings could be seen much easier.

He continued to hide in a dark corner and smiled with contempt when he saw that the people searching for him had a joyful expression on their faces. What they didn’t know was that the situation just turned to his favor and they ran out of luck.

Sure enough, the sound of gunshots suddenly came bursting out one wave after another.

His enemies fell to the ground one after another like dominoes. It all happened in an instant, and not one of them ever had a chance to utter their last words.

"Boss, are you okay?" The man bringing the people to help him asked with such worry in his tone.

"I’m fine. Let’s move!" Ian could only maintain a serious look on his face.

The fact is that he didn’t want to kill anyone. It didn’t have to come into this if only he wasn’t in such a position. But it happened anyway, and it had to be done.

"Boss, someone back home called and said that someone was going to France last night, but you weren’t there."

Ian’s face suddenly darkened.

"Back home? Are you talking about Mark?"

All the people who were very close to Ian knew he had a good relationship with Mark, so most of his subordinates knew him.

"Yes."

"Damn it!"

Ian immediately tried to contact his friend. But it was too late.

As soon as Mark arrived in France yesterday, Kevin got to him first and detained him.

"Shit!"
