Mack’s deal with Nash was simple. He promised Nash five million to kidnap some professor from the D City University Mathematics Department.
The professor was 35 years old and about to make assistant dean. He apparently had some great gift in the software field. Mack seemed to need that man’s help for something. Naturally, Nash wasn’t going to ask why. He just had to catch the man.
Still, because of how much of a genius this professor was, there were plenty of people who targeted him. He had bodyguards on the regular, and he’d already been hired by one of D City’s leading software companies to lead his own team on a research project. Mack was taking this man clearly in an act of opposition against this company, maybe to advance his own company’s technology. Robert had gotten all that from Nash’s sources.
He and Sarah sat in the car.
Boss Nash’s car was stopped before theirs. It wouldn’t do for them to get out right now. They were just waiting for Mack to get here.
“Mr. Simpson, Mack’s sent us news. His convoy is coming soon. Are we sticking with the plan?”
Boss Nash messaged from the other car, and Robert replied with a yes.
Sarah spoke up at the side.
“Are Mack’s people coming? Do we have enough men? Can we corner him?”
“The plans’ all ready. Unless anything irregular happens, don’t worry. So long as he comes here today, our side will definitely capture him.”
As Robert said that, he heard several cars driving over.
Looking out the car window, he saw three cars coming. The car stopped a dozen meters or so away opposite them.
He and Sarah waited in the back. Boss Nash had gotten out in front already.
The dozen bodyguards beside him had stuck with him, and several large bodyguards also got out from the opposite side.
Soon, the man called back came down wearing shades. Robert’s side was further away and they couldn’t see his features, only his silhouette.
Both sides approached the other.
Finally, with two or three meters between them, Mack’s side and Nash’s side stopped. A man behind Mack set three black briefcases in the middle and opened them. They were full of cash.
“The money’s all here. I’ve held up my part of the bargain. Where’s the man you brought over? At least show me. Give and take, right?”
Mack asked Nash mildly. Boss Nash chuckled, waved, and soon, two bodyguards carried an unconscious man over.
That was the professor Mack wanted.
“The guy’s here. Now we need to check if the money’s real, don’t we?”
Nash said. Mack nodded and slid the briefcases over.
Nash’s men stooped and began to verify the money. It took several minutes, and Robert and Sarah stayed in the car, looking at the situation ahead. Sarah grew frantic.
“Do we have the wrong person? That Mack really seems like he just wants the professor and has no other intentions. He doesn’t seem to have much to do with Eric.”
“Keep on observing. Don’t panic.”
