There was a dead silence in the private plane.
And the roar of the warplanes was deafening as if a deadly curse.
“Grandpa…”
Vinna Vaughn was holding tightly on the Old Master Vaughn’s arm as she was afraid of the situation.
And the Old Master Vaughn who was puzzled about the circumstance, and he showed a torn expression on his face.
As the head of the Vaughn family, they had never experienced such a ridiculous treatment even though the status of their Vaughn family in the capital city was not the most prominent.
Looking at the ammunition landing gear of the warplane outside the window.
Undoubtedly, it was like an abyss which was able to swallow the whole aircraft.
After taking a deep breath, the Old Master Vaughn clenched his fists tightly while lowering his head and said in a deep voice, “Return and land!”
The two warplanes escorted the private plane to land safely before both of the warplanes roared again and disappeared in the sky.
It was only within a few minutes.
But the back of the Old Master Vaughn was completely soaked in sweat.
Laughing at himself, “I have never thought that in my lifetime, I will still be able to enjoy the experience of being escorted by warplanes.”
Vinna said in panic, “Grandpa, what will happen to us?”
“It is not done by us, we will be able to leave once the truth comes out.”
The Old Master Vaughn’s expression turned colder, “Don’t worry, Vinna. The push you have done will only make the Vaughn family lose the chance to get close to Jack Hughes and pay some of the prices, what matters this time is the assassination!”
Upon hearing this, Vinna’s heart calmed.
But when she thought of her performance last night, she felt guilty, “I’m sorry, grandpa, it is my fault.”
After the accident of the Burton family in the capital city.
The Vaughn family was the first of all the capital city gentries who made the decision to come to find Jack.
However, Vinna had ruined all the plan.
Although the Old Master Vaughn was cared about the matter, he still shook his head to indicate that it was alright.
The plane’s hatch then opened.
“Let’s go.”
The Old Master Vaughn got up.
When the Old Master Vaughn and Vinna got off the plane.
Mr. Ward had already been alone standing there and waiting for them.
“Welcome back to the city.”
Mr. Ward joked at them by making a bow while stepping forward.
The Old Master Vaughn smiled bitterly, “Mr. Ward, it will be sufficient enough to greet us if you want to keep us, but why do you need to use the warplanes?”
The smile on Mr. Ward’s face disappeared, “If it wasn’t escorted by the warplanes, I’m afraid the plane would have already flied towards the capital city, right?”
Being shocked by his words.
“Before things come to light, I hope that the Old Master Vaughn, together with your good granddaughter can stay at the Jade Spring Villa obediently.”
Mr. Ward’s voice lowered, “Otherwise, the warplanes which escorted you all just now are a rite of passage, and I will not dare to guarantee if any force will be used behind.”
The tone of his voice was so cold that it scared all of the people.
“No matter how, I am still the head of the Vaughn family, why should I do this?” His face turned colder.
Mr. Ward, however, laughed disdainfully, “What a Vaughn family in the capital city? What kind of fame of do you all have? You all are just a family that thrives on actors!”
“You…” The Old Master Vaughn became furious.
In the ancient times, actor was the most inferior job.
Mr. Ward’s words were just like despising the whole Vaughn family.
“Go back to the villa!”
Mr. Ward shouted in a deep voice.
Despite The Old Master Vaughn was desperate, still, he finally bowed his head helplessly, “Thank you for taking the trouble, Mr. Ward.”
He then watched the whole Vaughn family leaving the airport.
Mr. Ward’s expression turned colder, “Everyone thinks that the young master who is a stray heir is inferior than other heirs in his family. If there is no one to repay the young master for this slash, then we will cleanse it with blood!”
The intention of killing was raging.
In Mr. Ward’s opinion, even though Jack’s assassination this time was a narrow escape, it was also a rare chance to rectify his name.
By the way, it was right to use this time to show to the world that Jack was the heir to the Hughes family and his position was not inferior to anyone else.
The Burton family’s fuss had made Jack appear in the sights of most of the gentries in the capital city.
Aiden’s expression eased a little and said, “Miss Wattson, please come in.”
Ciara pushed the door open and entered.
“Have you found anything yet?”
Aiden pointed to the information report on the floor, “All the dead soldier had cut off the clues and what my intelligence network investigate is only not important matter that is impossible for us to detect the mastermind.”
Ciara frowned and sighed, “Don’t worry, I have already informed my family to activate the Wattson family’s intelligence network to investigate this matter together.”
“I’m afraid it is a bit difficult.”
Aiden sighed helplessly, “The other side simply don’t give us the opportunity to investigate clearly. Do you believe that for those deadly soldiers, regardless of final success or failure of the assassination, they will surely swallow the poison hidden in their teeth into their stomach to kill themselves.”
Ciara nodded and suddenly smiled, “You are right, Mr. Lott. However for our Wattson family, we don’t have such a great force that can gather a dozen deadly soldiers who can pay the price for provoking the Hughes family, who are they?”
Aiden froze and then awaked as he had a clue suddenly.
“Thanks for Miss Wattson’s reminder, now that we have the direction and it is much easier for the investigation.”
Ciara nodded, “Now that we are all in the same boat and the Vaughn family should have activated their intelligence network as well.”
Aiden was excited.
…
In the afternoon.
Jack finally woke up.
Looking at Amber Knight besides him, Jack was a bit blurred, “Have you known it?”
“How could I not know such a big matter?”
Amber’s expression was full of worry and he angrily pinched Jack’s arm, “You big fool, why do you get yourself into such a big mess? Don’t you know that your mother isn’t the only one who worried about you?”
I was fucking confused too!
Jack was helpless for a while, who knew that he would encounter an assassination when he attended the banquet?
But when he looked at Amber who was worried about him, he suddenly recalled a scene last night before he fell into coma.
In an instant, he was blurred.
Last night with Ciara…was it?
Jack suddenly felt some guilty.
