Dottie's voice pulled back Ruby's thoughts that had drifted to nowhere.
Her delicate face was filled with a stiff expression, and it took a moment before she pursed her lips and looked at Tom again, questioning in a cold voice, "Can you be sure? You didn't make a mistake?"
Tom was wondering how the man who had only appeared in the video had coincidentally appeared in the backyard of his house.
"Of course I'm sure! I've just looked at him carefully several times!"
Seeing Ruby's suspicion of himself, Tom stomped his foot and pointed impatiently at the back door.
"If you don't believe me, you can come in with me to see the surveillance, won't everything be clear after you've seen it?"
Seeing his words, Ruby actually believed it in her heart.
But the matter was so important and she was always cautious, so she tilted her head to look at Dottie and gave her a wink.
Dottie immediately got up, saying to Tom, "I'll go in with you."
Naturally, Tom had no objection and led her into the back door.
But five minutes later, the two turned back.
Dottie's face was grave as she nodded at Ruby.
This time, Ruby completely dispelled all doubts and her mood became even more complicated.
"BOSS, so what are we going to do with him now ......"
Seeing that her BOSS did not say a word, Dottie could not pinpoint her mind for a moment, so she could only ask the question with careful deliberation.
She knew well the influence that the man from five years ago had on BOSS, and how much BOSS hated him.
But now this situation was really unexpected.
On the side, Ruby still did not say anything, her clear eyes were covered with complications as she stared unblinkingly at the man with his eyes tightly closed.
At this point, Tom, who had been watching from the side, couldn't help but ask curiously.
"What's going on here? Why has this man suddenly appeared in my backyard? And what's up with the injuries he's got?"
He was bewildered, his eyes hovering back and forth between the three men.
This time, Ruby finally opened her mouth, her voice was as calm as ever.
"From now on, forget everything you saw today, don't mention this to anyone, and if anyone comes to you or asks about this man's whereabouts, you must pretend that you don't know anything about it, do you understand?"
She gave the order so coldly that Tom didn't react for a moment.
"Why? What the hell is going on? This man ....
.."
However, before he could finish his words, he was swept over by Ruby's cold, stern eye, and was instantly scared into silence, not daring to say another word.
"Just do what you're told, no why!"
Next to him, Dottie scolded impatiently and threatened, "If you dare to say a word, you'll be in trouble!"
Tom was so frightened that he remembered the scene before when Ruby threw the knife at him, so he dared not say a word.
He nodded his head and promised that he would not say anything.
Seeing that, Ruby said, "Don't worry, you've done me such a big favour, I have to thank you, someone will come and deliver the cheque to you afterwards, just wait in peace."
At the end, she added nonchalantly, "As long as you don't talk nonsense, that cheque will be enough to support your family for three generations."
