That probably won’t happen so long as Gwenny doesn’t leave the lab.
Seeing the gradual change in Cedrick’s expression, Joe added, “Don’t waste your energy. Do you really think the lab’s security is flawless? I’ll be honest with you. I planted a mole in the lab a long time ago. All the lab equipment is completely under my control now, including your wife and child. Do you still dare to kill me?”
Joe burst into a maniacal laugh while Cedrick stayed silent and continued making the phone calls.
Despite making numerous calls to Gwendolyn, they all went unanswered. If Gwenny and the two kids are indeed in his hands…
He put away his phone, pointed his gun, and questioned, “What do you want?”
“Let go of my men and follow me.”
Just then, Swain braved the rain and ran over with a group of men after dealing with the situation at the cottage.
Hearing Joe’s words, Swain quickly intervened, “Boss, you can’t do that!”
Joe is an incredibly cunning man. He’s crazy. Who knows what tricks he has up his sleeve?
However, Joe didn’t mind at all. He lifted his lips into a smirk and said, “Cedrick, you decide for yourself whether the lives of your wife and child’ are more important or your life is more important. I’ll only give you a minute to think about it.”
He held on to the trump card. He was clearly in a pathetic state, yet he acted as if his strategy was going well under his control.
After a considerable pause, Cedrick finally put away his gun with a solemn face. He then turned to Swain and instructed, “Ensure Megan’s safety. Release his people, and you guys stay put in the mountains.”
Swain was shocked. “Boss!”
“Just do as I say,” Cedrick grimly snapped.
His dark orbs had an unfathomable glint, and he was exuding an icy aura, leaving Swain unable to comprehend what he was trying to do.
Obedience to orders was the foremost rule. Hence, Swain had no choice but to release the people he captured.
After Joe’s man helped him up, he made another request. “Prepare a car for me. Your men aren’t allowed to follow.”
“Give him a car.”
While Swain was reluctant, he dared not defy Cedrick’s orders. All he could do was watch Cedrick’s hands. being bound on his back by Joe’s men and taken away on the rainy night..
The technical sped through the swampy track, causing muddy water to splash everywhere.
Swain couldn’t help but stomp his feet in frustration.
Has something gotten into Boss today?
Watching Joe’s vehicle sped away and eventually disappear within his sight, Swain could only call Nico immediately.
Meanwhile, Joe grabbed the basic medical kit in the technical and got his men to treat the wound on his thigh.
Cedrick sat opposite him in silence. The atmosphere was so dead quiet that it felt a little terrifying. Even though his hands were tied, he still posed a significant threat to everyone in the vehicle.
The mere sight of the Cedrick’s perpetual calm-looking face p*ssed Joe off greatly. He grabbed the former’s collar and, in a frosty tone, fumed, “Cedrick, do you know how much I hate you? If it weren’t for you, Eryn wouldn’t have died. Why do you get to live a happy life while I have to hide and live in darkness every day? And I won’t get to see Eryn ever again. It’s all because of you!”
Cedrick stared at him coldly without uttering a word.
He knew Joe was not in the state to listen to anything, so he had no intention of defending himself either.
Seeing his lack of reaction, Joe grew even more furious, “Cedrick, I will make you suffer a thousand times more than the pain I’ve gone through! I want to take you to Eryn’s grave to repent!”
Cedrick knew Joe would not harm him. However, it was beyond his expectation that the latter had done so much just so that he could take him to Eryn’s grave.
The rain gradually ceased, and the technical eventually came to a halt.
Joe limped his way into the cemetery and halted in his steps before a tombstone without a name..
