The video displayed a house in the village, and in it, five men in black suits were simultaneously being tied and beaten up. All their faces were swollen by the time Gerald’s subordinates stopped and began standing guard over the captives.
There was no doubt about it. Those tied up men could only be Mr. Long’s subordinates.
“Mr. Leach, Yunus is an extremely wicked man. Since he was afraid that you’d go back on your words, he ordered for some of his subordinates to capture your daughter this afternoon! You’re lucky that our men got there first!” replied Zack with a smile.
After hearing his explanation, Mr. Leach was now able to piece together the entire incident.
“That Yunus! How wicked that man is! I was almost fooled by him! Mr. Crawford, I’ve severely wronged you this time!” said Mr. Leach as he apologetically bowed repeatedly in front of Gerald.
His apology was sincere. After all, it was Gerald’s indirect involvement that saved his daughter. Mr. Leach knew now that Yunus was the kind of person who would use all kinds of underhanded schemes and means just to achieve his goals.
If Yunus had actually been able to capture his daughter, bad things would definitely have happened to her if Mr. Leach had chosen to go against him.
Thinking about it alone made Mr. Leach shiver with both regret and fear. Simultaneously, he was also feeling guilty and thankful toward Mr. Crawford.
After a while, he lowered his voice before saying, “…Mr. Crawford, I have a recording here with me that I’m certain you’ll be extremely interested in!”
Hearing that, Gerald and Zack looked at each other silently for a moment. Gerald then nodded his head and Mr. Leach slid out a recording.
It seemed that Gerald no longer needed to worry about the news issue anymore. Mr. Leach himself seemed to know what he needed to do to handle the rest of the mess.
All that was left to do, was for Gerald to properly deal with Yunus.
At that moment, Gerald’s phone suddenly started ringing. To his surprise, it was a call from Tammy. As he thought about it, he realized that he hadn’t met her in a while, even though she was Giya’s best friend.
He guessed that she must be calling because of what had happened today between him and Giya. Giya had definitely misunderstood the situation.
As soon as he picked the phone up, he could immediately hear Tammy’s dissatisfied voice saying, “What is the meaning of this, Gerald?”
That was the reason why she snuck out to give Gerald a call in the first place.
“I refuse to go,” said Gerald in a soft voice.
‘There’s no need for me to get further entangled within this mess. I’ve already stood against the Longs for Xavia’s sake. Now there’s Giya. ’
Gerald felt uneasy being in the midst of this issue, mostly because Giya was involved in the equation
“What do you mean you’re not coming? Look, I know you have Mila, but please! Even if you don’t want to continue being her friend, you need to explain the situation to her properly! After all, all of this started because of misunderstandings, no? She had fallen in love with you back then because you randomly gave her that jade bracelet! I know now that you’re Mr. Crawford and that you’re amazing and all, but don’t you think it’s a bit imprudent for you to just play with a girl’s heart like that?” replied Tammy, her voice anxious.
“I didn’t play with anyone’s heart!” said Gerald.
However, what Tammy said was enough to make Gerald reconsider. It was true that his entire relationship with Giya has started just because of some misunderstandings.
Nothing he had done at the time was on purpose.
