Chapter 33 Flynn Was Taken Away
The old lady tried to recall and replied, “Her wife was in some sort of trouble. I saw him getting into a scuffle with some guys. They used his wife to extort him, and he followed them into their car.”
Flynn didn’t ask the old lady to tell Alex about this. However, Flynn and his wife cared for her and treated her very well, even better than her own son. Hence, she clearly remembered all the things they did for her.
Since Alex was Flynn’s good friend, she hoped that Alex could help Flynn and his wife.
Alex’s heart thumped and hurriedly asked, “Madam, do you know the guys that took Flynn away?”
She shook her head and answered, “I’m not aware. However, I heard that someone mentioning ‘Brother Fleming’ a few times. He should be the one responsible.”
“Alright. That’s good enough. Thank you,” Alex nodded and passed a thousand to the old lady and said, “This is a little token of appreciation from me, so please accept them.”
She waved in protest, “I don’t want your money. If you are Flynn’s friend, then please help him. I don’t think the ones that took him away are good people.”
Alex wanted to persuade her further, but school was just dismissed. With a smile, he left as he had to go pick up his son.
The old lady misunderstood him and thought that he didn’t want to help Flynn. Seeing Alex leave, she shook her head in frustration, “Flynn, it’s a shame that you have a friend like this.”
She felt indignant for Flynn. He even gifted the shop away to Alex.
However, after Alex knew that Flynn was in trouble, he was unaffected by the bad news. Even worse, he actually smiled!
She was displeased with Alex. However, she chose to keep quiet and left.
After Alex picked up Stanley, he reached for his phone and called Jack.
“Investigate all details about Derek Fleming. You have half an hour,” Alex put down the phone without waiting for any reply.
As one of the richest men in Nebula City, Jack had ample resources. Thus, Alex believed that small matters like this would not be a problem for Jack.
Ten minutes later, he received the email from Jack.
However, he did not open the email immediately.
His driving skill was impeccable, and he was even a famous racer when he was young.
However, with his son in the car, he didn’t dare to be reckless.
After he sent his son safely back home, he was relieved when he saw Carmen there as well. Otherwise, he would need to wait for Heather to come back from work before he could go and save Flynn.
“Mom, I have some matters to attend to, so please take care of Stanley for me,” Alex requested.
“Hmph, what a piece of trash. You’re always occupied with useless matters. Come back home early to cook!” Carmen was watching the television while she scolded Alex.
Alex did not reply to her, but only patted Stanley’s head and said, “Be a good boy and watch television with Grandma. I’ll come back home soon.”
Stanley nodded obediently and sat beside Carmen.
“Grandma, I want to watch Ultraman,” he asked with his puppy eyes.
Carmen was enjoying variety shows and couldn’t care less about Stanley. She replied impatiently, “Go and do your homework.”
“I want to watch Ultraman,” Stanley insisted.
“If you don’t stop yapping, I’ll give you a good whipping later!” Carmen threatened.
“Mom, why are you picking on Stanley? If he wants to watch Ultraman, then let him be,” Alex frowned as he passed Stanley a cup of milk.
“Shut up. Who are you to speak? You’re just an undignified man who lived off a woman. Who do you think you are to educate me?” Carmen was infuriated and stared at him. She was boiling with rage and wanted to give him a tight slap.
