265 Midnight Bell
“There is nothing going on between you and Stella right now, but that does not mean that there will be nothing in the future.”
“Actually, Isabella did the right thing. If I were her, I would also be angry at you. Where is Stella now? What is going on this time?” Cedric tried to persuade him.
“Stella lives in the psychological treatment center because she was scared when she was kidnapped. She needs to be treated by the psychologist for a period of time, so she needs to rest domestically for a while.”
Joseph suddenly became serious with his eyes sinking, “Right, Cedric, I went to save her this time, the ransom was three hundred million.”
Cedric was stunned. “Wasn’t it said that the kidnapper was a crazy movie fan? Did he say that Stella would be killed if he couldn’t get the money? So he was willing to let her go after giving him the money?”
...
Joseph smiled coldly, “Don’t you know me? How could I give this kind of person money? I wouldn’t let this kind of person get away with it even if I spend three hundred million yuan in vain, right?”
“It seemed to be quite smooth this time.”
“Nonetheless, cheers for your success in rescuing Stella!” Cedric raised his wine glass.
.....
Joseph raised his wine glass and clinked it with Cedric’s. He said in a low voice, “Cedric, did you watch the video that the criminal released? It was the video where Stella was threatened.”
“I have seen it.”
“I have been to the scene and contacted him, but I thought that the kidnapper was not the man in the video.”
“You suspect that the real beast was not brought to justice? Will Stella be in danger?”
Cedric paused for a moment. A hint of darkness and shrewdness flashed across his gentle eyes. “How about letting me think of a way to deal with this problem. I will let the kidnapper confess who was behind the kidnapping, making Stella have nothing to worry about.”
Joseph looked at Cedric with his darkened eyes. “Cedric, that criminal was very crazy at that time, like an abnormal mental patient, and he was holding a knife in his hand, so the police considered that he was dangerous and directly shot him to death. His head was directly exploded by the sniper, without any useful words left.”
Cedric narrowed his eyes. “Joseph, what are you suspecting?”
“I’ve seen the hands of this kidnapper’s corpse. It’s rough, short, and full of calluses. At first glance, I could tell that he is a person who has done heavy work at the bottom of the society. The man in the video has slender fingers. Although there was only a black silhouette, his movements were very calm and confident. He is definitely a person with good psychological quality.”
Joseph tapped his finger on the table and analyzed, “I don’t think a normal worker can ask for 300 million. He doesn’t even know how to receive the 300 million yuan. Moreover, do you think this ignorant and uncultured person really had the ability to play horror videos on the website widely and completely made the police technicians unable to find the IP address and the starting location?”
Cedric was silent for a while. “Are you suspecting that this matter isn’t over yet?”
Joseph pursed his lips and said coldly. “This matter is not over. Moreover, the target might not be Stella at all, but me.”
Cedric was shocked. “Kason Ward!”
Joseph shook his head and said, “It’s impossible. Kason is not so childish. When he wanted to kill me, when did he hide himself from us? Besides, there has been no big conflict between us in the past few years. It couldn’t be him.”
“Have you asked Stella? She is the only witness who has seen the person in the video.”
“She is now emotionally unstable, like a frightened child. Before, she only stuck to me and did not dare to leave. She did not believe anyone.”
Joseph shook his head, “Let’s wait, the psychologist said it’s not suitable for her to recall the details of the kidnapping.”
“Well, don’t think so much. Drink.”
Cedric smiled and raised his wine glass, “I suggest that you find Isabella earlier to explain the matter clearly. She is so charming that I want to have sex with her.”
At the same time.
In America,
In the dark room, the TV kept broadcasting news reports that “Stella was rescued, returning home.”
The faint light of the screen covered the room with a faint layer of darkness.
In the room, there are thick carpets, luxurious ancient sofas, and twisted post-modern oil paintings on the wall.
...
A dart passed through the darkness and shot into the center of the target hanging on the wall in the distance from the sofa... As a man chuckled, the moonlight shone into the room, and a picture on the target gradually became clear.
Joseph got out of the car in a black windbreaker. He was surrounded by bodyguards and assistants. He looked at the camera with a pair of cold and sharp eyes on his handsome face, as if looking at someone through the photo...
...
After Joseph and Cedric finished drinking, it was about two in the morning.
Gerry helped him sit in the car and drove to the Wilson Manor.
“Call Isabella to cook some hangover soup for me, which is handed down from her ancestors.”
Joseph covered his chest and said vaguely, “I drank too much, and it’s a bit disgusting.”
Gerry was stunned and said honestly, “Miss Isabella has already been away from home.”
“...”
Joseph suddenly remembered that he had been drinking tonight because of Isabella. She pulled his tie irritably. “Where did she go?”
“... Probably she went to the school. Miss Isabella goes home rarely.”
“Let’s go to Richmond Arts University!”
“Yes!”
Isabella’s phone rang.
Isabella was sleeping when she was suddenly awakened by the vibration of his phone.
She took out her phone while drooling. When she saw the caller ID, she was instantly stunned.
It was called from the Devil.
Isabella thought for a long time. She thought that she was not very depressed now, so she picked up the phone and whispered, “What’s up? It’s 2 o’clock now.”
“Where are you?” Joseph said drunkenly. Isabella had an intuition that he had drunk.
“I’m sleeping in the dormitory.”
“Come downstairs in five minutes.”
“What’s up?”
“You want me to go downstairs now? Can why don’t you talk with me tomorrow? Our dormitory keeper won’t permit!”
“I’ll call your school leaders and ask them to let you out.”
“No! What time is it now? Are you trying to make me well-known in the school?”
“I don’t care. Are you going to go downstairs or not?” Joseph started to become arrogant and unreasonable.
“No! I want to sleep!”
Isabella was annoyed. Joseph was not apologizing or asking for reconciliation. He was simply going crazy in the midnight!
“Gerry!”
Joseph didn’t want to talk to her anymore, and his voice became a bit lower, “Go and buy me two loudspeakers, the kind of stage shouting on the street. I want the best and the loudest loudspeakers! “”
“Wait! Wait! Wait!” Isabella screamed.
Isabella immediately sat up on the bed and rubbed her head helplessly. “I’ll go down. You crazy drunkard!”
“What did you say” Joseph said louder.
“I said that you are such a bothersome little demon!”
