Chapter 1932 The Race For The Evidence Part 1
“What’s going on now? Don’t you know the rules of the trade? What are you trying to prove by disappearing on me?” Larry glared at the man on the floor.
“I’m so sorry, Mr. Norton. I’ve my reasons, so please let me off.” The addict abruptly got on his knees and begged, appearing quite aggrieved.
Larry walked steadily and squatted down in front of the man.
“What reasons could you possibly have?” He lifted the latter’s chin and asked expectantly in a low voice.
“Whatever it is, you should not have played me out!” With a powerful strike, he sent the man hurtling towards the side of the room.
The man touched his bloodied lips and evoked a look of piteousness.
“Mr. Norton, I told you everything about the traffic accident. I was just passing through by chance that day. I really know nothing about the driver who was responsible.”
Larry snorted at his hasty explanation and said, “Hand him over to the cops and let them deal with him.”
“No, please don’t do this, Mr. Norton!” The man panicked.
Larry walked off without looking back. He was not in the habit of giving second chances.
Twice! Gabriella, oh Gabriella. Who the h*ll embolden you?
Thump!
Larry furiously drove a fist into the wall.
“How’s the search going?”
“We’ve looked everywhere, but there’s no sign of that white USB drive he mentioned. Could someone else have taken it, or did Lonnie remember it wrong?” Caspian asked, quite concerned.
“I don’t believe so,” Larry replied.
He knew that Gabriella, too, was on the lookout for the USB drive. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people actively searching for it apart from Caspian.
“Why don’t we take him along?” the bodyguard asked.
It is not a bad idea, but…
Larry furrowed, somewhat hesitant. I can’t risk his life for the evidence!
“In that case, increase the manpower. You’ve to ensure his safety.” He regarded Caspian intently.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
“Mr. Norton.”
For some reason, Larry felt uneasy when he saw Lonnie.
When his intention was explained to him, Lonnie readily agreed.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Norton. Rest assured that I’ll do my best.”
“Remember. Your safety is the most important thing, no matter what happens. Even if the evidence is lost, we’re good, so long as you are safe. Do you understand?”
Lonnie was touched.
Apart from Hubert, Larry was the only other person who cared about him.
The very next day, Caspian escorted Lonnie to the house as planned.
“We should be good. I’ve brought along more men this time,” the bodyguard said as he placed a comforting hand on the latter’s shoulders.
Lonnie merely smiled.
“There’s a vehicle on our tail,” a middle-aged man suddenly said.
Caspian turned and saw that they were indeed being followed. He was curious to see what would happen next.
“In that case, we shan’t go there. Circle the area.”
“Here they come,” Lonnie said grimly with his head lowered.
“Who are these people?”
“Some boys who served under me.”
Caspian was astounded.
Are they going to kill their own second-in-command?
“Why?” he regarded Lonnie quizzically.
“They’re manipulated into believing that I’m after Mr. Newman’s position. But I’m not.”
That woman must be responsible for this!How many more people does she want to ruin before she’ll stop?
“Gabriella’s behind this,” Lonnie continued.
Gabriella again!
There was a murderous glint in Caspian’s eyes.
