What mattered was what had been in the necklace. In fact, it didn't matter who gave it to Anne.
Kim slowly opened it and saw that it was bugged. It had been wiretapped all along. In his frustration, he threw it on the ground and crushed it with his foot.
Inside, Anne was panic stricken, but she pretended to be surprised as she asked, "What the hell was that? And why was it in the necklace?"
He looked up at her and then lowered his head. When he saw the confusion on her face, he slightly raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Anne, even though Eddy was the one who gave this gift, Kevin must have been the one who really arranged it. Perhaps the gift actually came from him because, you see, he still hasn't given up on you!
I've already noticed the necklace ever since you came here. I originally just wanted to see what tricks he could play, but now, I can no longer keep this thing!"
As he spoke, he put the necklace, now with the wiretap removed, on her neck again and said, "Now, without the bug, this is the necklace you should think about as a gift from your son."
She frowned, pulled the necklace off her neck, and threw it quickly on the ground. She said with angry eyes and a cold voice, "I thought it was simply just a gift from Eddy. I didn't expect that, all along, they would just use it for something like this!
If this is what represents my child's love for me, then I would rather not have this love!"
Looking irritated, she turned around and left.
Kim looked down at the necklace on the ground. He frowned slightly as he squatted down and picked it up.
"I didn't expect Kevin to be so good at a fistfight. Heck, it hurt so much when he punched me," Peter said, rubbing his face and shaking his head helplessly.
Kim was the one who fought for Anne, so what did it have to do with him? Why was he the one who was punched by Kevin?
Kim raised his head, squinted at Peter, and told him as he sneered, "It seems that I should leave this place at once."
Peter raised his eyebrows at him and stood up at once. "Then I'll arrange it for you right away!"
Kim's eyes turned cold as he watched him walk away. It seemed to him that the guy had been looking forward to this for a long time, as though all he had been waiting for was for him to leave.
On the other side, as soon as Kevin went back, he immediately heard the news that the bug which they had planted in Anne's necklace was no longer functioning.
As soon as he got to hear the last voice that came from it, his face suddenly turned pale. He sat on the chair wearily.
"Kim must have found out about the bug in the necklace and destroyed it," he said with a worried voice as he helplessly shook his head.
They all looked at each other, thinking of the same thing: if the bug had been destroyed, then they wouldn't be able to know where Anne would be from now on. Now, what should they do?
Suddenly, Kevin received a call from his assistant. "Mr. Kevin, you asked me to watch over the CEO of the AS Group, and just now I got an update that he is preparing a car for travel."
Preparing a car? For travel?
His face turned cold, and then a sinister smile appeared on his face. The truth was, the reason why he went to the AS Group today was to compel Kim to leave A City at once, and it worked. Now, he finally couldn't sit still, wanting to leave as soon as possible.
Kim was a cunning, despicable, and shameless man, but he always hid behind the AS Group company. Although he had threatened Kevin a countless times, he had never dared to make a move. But, why? What was the reason? Ha! Kevin knew it clearly.
He wouldn't dare, because they were not in M City nor H City, but rather A City. And this place was Kevin's territory!
Indeed, he did seem to be passive when he confronted Kim in Peter's office, but Kim and Peter both knew what he was capable of. A single order from him and there would be countless people rushing in to back him up. When that happened, both of them would be no match to him!
It was also because of this that Kim had a sense of urgency in leaving the city, not knowing that this was exactly the move that would satisfy Kevin. After all, his purpose was to find his base camp outside of A City and then take it in one fell swoop!
"Have our men follow them secretly!" he ordered at once.
After hanging up the phone, he immediately called the director of the police station. He knew that it was not enough that he was the only one to take part in this problem so he must cooperate with the police. When he talked to the police director about the issue at hand, they immediately promised that they would send their best armed men!
Kim was an unpardonable person in the law. He had a complicated background and was involved in several homicides. Therefore, once he had been caught, it would be a great credit for them!
It had been peaceful for a while and so there were very few chances to be of meritorious service to the police. So now that they have this opportunity, they would not let it go.
More than that, of course, they could get the gratitude of such a powerful man like Kevin.
It was also because of this that he let the police get involved. Then, after he got their support, he immediately got in the car.
On the other side, he ordered his men to follow the car that Kim was driving inconspicuously, keeping in touch with him and the others all the way.
Sitting on Kim's car, Anne turned around and looked at the scenery outside, absent-minded and unaware of what was happening.
The wiretap had been broken by Kim, so she could no longer contact Kevin and others. From then on, she had no idea if they got the news that they would be getting away from the city.
"What's wrong, dear? Are you still in a bad mood?" Kim looked back at her and asked as he drove.
Turning to look at him, she shook her head and sighed helplessly. She replied, "Nothing. It's just that... this was the first time I left the children on my own."
He curled his lips and thought, 'Oh really?'
"Anne. You know, I'm stronger and more cunning than you think. There are things that you think might have been arranged well, but in my opinion, that is not necessarily the case. Moreover, there are some things that I already know since the beginning, but until the end I still haven't exposed them!"
These sudden words from Kim surprised her, but more than that, it made her confused. She looked at Kim with a bewildered face and asked, "What do you mean?"
