Chapter 221 Clues

Lara spoke solemnly as she turned to look at the stinky ditch behind her.

It was filled with decayed garbage, mixed with the wastewater discharged from the factory, dirty andsmelly.

Eww–

She felt a bit nauseous.

“Do you hear me? If you don’t tell me who made you do it, I’ll throw you all into the stinky ditch, noexception.

I’m serious.”

The woman’s hands akimbo, her tone arrogant.

Jaxton remained motionless as if he had not heard the woman.

His fellows behind kept silent as well. It was understanding not to dare to move as the head of themheld his tongue. They kept sullen, showing no fear at all.

“Are you not scared of so stinky the ditch? Lara’s beautiful eyes glared at the boss with an incredulous

expression.

If she heard someone trying to throw herself into such a dirty ditch, she would have to be scared todeath.

Jaxton and his mates knelt in place without any reaction.

This made it difficult for Lara.

She had never faced so many kidnappers, let alone hurt anyone.

What she just said was all to scare these despicable kidnappers, but she didn’t expect her words to beof no

use. What should she do?

Lara couldn’t help but look back at Niki in the car.

Niki sat in the car, calm on the surface, but very uneasy in her heart.

Jaxton had been following Roger for donkeys’ years so naturally he wouldn’t give Roger away.

She was frightened that Jaxton, that fool, would accidentally spill the beans and confess her.

When Lara was going to get off the car and teach these people a lesson, she wanted to follow thewoman out of the car at first thought.

If Jaxton told something like that, she could cope with it.

But having a look at her injured leg, Lara insisted on not letting her get off the car.

Seeing Lara turn round to look at herself, Niki skillfully put on a pitiful and kind expression for herself,

In this situation, she could only remain silent and use a smile to conceal her uneasiness.

Larà peeped at the woman in the car who was dragging an injured leg and looking at herself with pitifuleyes,

Get Bog

and her heart softened again.

To deal with these people, even if it was tough, she must come up with a way!

She had no choice but to call for someone to help.

Lara immediately turned her head and glanced at Uncle Terry, who was standing by all the way.

The man frowned tightly and looked unhappy.

Seeing the young lady looking at him, he immediately understood her meaning and sighed, “Miss, doyou

have to do with this matter?”

Seeing that Uncle Terry was unwilling to help her, Lara pursed her lips.

“Father has always taught me to be kind and have a sense of justice in life. Now that such a cruel thingis

happening in front of me, how can I not help?”

“Do you want me to just stand idly by? Is what Father said wrong?”

As soon as the woman spoke, the man’s face immediately changed. He quickly spoke up, “Miss, watchyour language. Your father is correct.”

He was just a butler, so he naturally dared not say that his master’s words were wrong.

“So if I don’t help this young girl today, isn’t it just proving that Father’s words are wrong?” Lara lookedat Uncle Terry, clearly using the chairman to press him.

Uncle Terry stopped speaking. After a while, he finally compromised and said, “Okay. I’ll do it.”

Lara walked aside to share the space.

Uncle Terry stood in front of Jaxton, nodded and glanced at him, then turned to the other peoplekneeling.

behind Jaxton.

It is said that to deal with a mob, it’s the best fashion to capture the head of it first. However, based onUncle Terry’s years of experience, it was evident that these kidnappers were acting on behalf of others.They were organized and disciplined, and would not easily reveal the information of the big boss.

Especially the head of the mission. It would be even more difficult to extract words from him than toreach

the heavens.

So starting from others was a better option.

He could tell at a glance that one person of them was the least daring and least determined among thekneeling kidnappers.

The young lad kneeling on the ground already had a flickering expression and had been secretlytrembling. As soon as he looked up, he saw a man standing in front of him, with a muscular figure andan unusually

oppressive expression.

He could only pretend to be calm and stick his neck in silence.

Get Bo

Uncle Terry was too lazy to talk nonsense. He directly raised his arm and waved to the bodyguardbehind

him, “Come on, do as Miss Lara just said. Since they don’t want to talk, they’ll all be thrown into theditch

behind them.”

“Start with this guy,” Uncle Terry pointed to the man kneeling in front of him.

“Yes, sir.” The bodyguard’s face remained expressionless and without any hesitation, they pulled up theman

on the ground and dragged him in the direction of the ditch.

Without any signs, the man was picked up and pulled step by step towards the stinky ditch.

“No! Jaxton, help me!” The man shouted as he struggled in the air.

Jaxton couldn’t help but look back, but he gritted his teeth, didn’t speak, didn’t get up, and didn’t payattention to the man.

Although the ditch smelled foul, being thrown into it would be a bit unbearable but it wouldn’t killanyone. Jaxton comforted himself in his heart.

In this way, without any resistance, the man was thrown into the ditch.

Huge splashes of water covered the man’s cries for help.

The stench suddenly struck; he struggled inside, trying to escape this unpleasant place.

But there was some substance he didn’t know in this ditch, the more he struggled, the deeper he sank.

Lara instinctively frowned.

Soon, the water in the ditch was about to submerge the man’s neck, down to his chin, mouth, andnose, until he was completely deflated.

A huge fear struck, and the man couldn’t care about anything. All he was longing for was to quickly getout of this ditch and escape from the shadow of death.

“I’ll say it! I say it! I’ll tell you everything!”

The man struggled slightly while shouting.

Jaxton’s face suddenly changed, and he turned back and gritted his teeth.

Upon hearing the answer he wanted, Uncle Terry raised his eyebrows and waved his hand, “Pull himup.”

The man was pulled up and escaped from the grip of Death, breathing in fresh air.

“Go ahead,” said Uncle Terry in a serious tone, looking at the man breathing heavily.

The man was about to speak, but Jaxton pounced on him and pressed him to the ground, “Who let yousay that?!”

Uncle Terry furrowed his brows. This prick was so stubborn. It should be a warning to these people andgive them a challenge!

He immediately winked and signalled the bodyguards to take action against Jaxton.

But before the bodyguard’s fist fell on the man, he suddenly turned around and said, “I’ll say it! I say it!”

“Hmm?”

Uncle Terry was a bit surprised.

“We were indeed hired by someone, but the employer is too mysterious. We haven’t even seen theemployer’s face, we only know it’s a woman.”

“And we only saw a talisman on the woman’s body, which seemed to be ki or something else, so wedon’t know anything else,” Jaxton spoke seriously.

He wouldn’t reveal Roger’s identity, but he could still uncover that woman.

“We do this for a living. Please, Miss Turner, you’re smart, kind and full of mercy. Please let go of us.”Jaxton

begged.

He was very intelligent, knowing who was the softest and who spoke the most effectively at themoment.

These men with him were all his relatives and he couldn’t bear to watch them all die there.

Sure enough, when Lara heard the answer she wanted, she immediately spoke up and said, “Okay, aslong ast you ensure that what you said is not fake, you can go.”

She didn’t want to hurt anyone.

Jaxton immediately assured, “It’s the truth, a hundred per cent true.

A talisman with the characters ‘ki’?

Lara recalled Jaxton’s words, looking thoughtful.
