Late at night, the VIP floor of the Hopevale General Hospital inpatient department was unprecedentedly quiet.
The lights in the ward were dim, and suddenly, the power supply flickered a few times, and all of a sudden it fell into darkness.
There was scommotion on the floor, and power was restored a moment later.
Several nurses rushed over at this tand entered different rooms.
The guard at the door of the ward coincided with a shift change. Before leaving the post, he saw this situation and conducted a routine inquiry, "Is there anything wrong? Why do you go in at this time?" A young female nurse said anxiously, "Please, didn't you notice the power outage just now? There are many instruments in the ward needed to be recalibrated, so letin quickly. Otherwise you won't be able to take responsibility for anything wrong!" When the incident happened suddenly, the police had to allow her in.
There was no one in the ward, and the out-of-order monitoring equipment was screaming indiscriminately. The nurse closed the door with a clear goal and went straight to the crib.
Picking up the quilt, she quickly ran through the window, but stopped.
Her alert eyes patrolled around the room, and she suddenly found out why it was different from the previous rehearsal? It went unattended...and it went too smoothly.
Suddenly, alarms sounded everywhere in the hospital, "Catch the thief! The power has just been cut off. Someone took the opportunity to steal! Everyone is on alert!" The lights were bright.
Before she had tto think, the nurse quickly landed along the wall and hid the child in an alley.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere were people outside the wall, and as soon as the car door opened, she jumped into the car and the car sped away.
Villa in the forest.
There was movement at the door, and everyone stood up in unison with different expressions.
Jude, wearing sunglasses, walked over quickly, with a smile on his face, "Successful?" The woman dressed as a nurse nodded and held the baby in both hands.
"That's right... Mr. Price, more than half of your subordinates are useless but you don't believe it. Look, you have to rely on my people for the last step.” Saying that, he slowly took the child into his arms, with a very deliberately gentle smile on his face, "Baby, do you know how anxious your father is now? His expression must be wonderful.” As he just finished his words, the moment he opened the swaddling clothes, all his smirks froze.
In just a few seconds, he was furious. He raised his foot and kicked the woman fiercely, "What is this? Are you out of your mind when you perform your mission?" The woman fell to the ground unexpectedly. She was waiting for the credit, but now she looked terrified, "I... | did nothing wrong." "Look at it, what is this!" The bedding was scattered, and a fake silicone doll rolled out of it.
No wonder, she always felt that something was wrong. It turned out to be an empty plan.
"The person we arranged in advance did see the man transferred the child to this ward..." "Don't quibble.” Jude's face looked terrifying. She didn't dare to raise her head, and desperately knelt down to beg for mercy, but he waved his hand fiercely, "Pull her away." The woman screamed and was dragged away.
Lennie stood by, rubbed the beads on her hands, and said the first sentence of the night, "I have said, my people just help you break into the ward. | don't care about the rest." His face was expressionless, but his tone sounded like it was as expected.
He yawned slowly and tut-tutted, "You dislike my people. You're played in the sway. If Mr. Griffiths know it, you probably wouldn't survive this." Jude turned his head suddenly, and his sharp eyes almost pierced the sunglasses, "Oh, what are you afraid of? We still have a card in our hand." He adjusted his clothes and slowly twisted his neck, "Our beautiful Mrs. White should still be in the basement. Letsee her." Levi stopped in front of him. His voice was cold and hard, "Jude, letremind you. She was caught by Mr. Price. It has nothing to do with you. You are incompetent but want to do something to her. " Jude frowned and thought he was really annoying, "Mr. Price, we've already alerted the enemy. If we don't use her, and her value, you and | may have no chance." Lennie shook his head, "I'm sorry. | have completely lost trust in you this time. If you want to continue to cooperate, please ask Mr. Griffiths to cforward." If the action failed, it would be unreasonable for Mr. Griffiths not to show up again.
Jude stared at him silently for a long time, then nodded.
"Okay." Mr. Griffiths’ phone was quickly connected. He was a rough man. After only two or three sentences, he spat fiercely, "A bunch of trash!" "Contact Malcolm White. His wife is in my hands. | don't believe he can sleep peacefully!" Lennie dialed the phone and turned on the speakerphone.
A calm male voice cthrough the phone, "Who are you?" "Mr. Malcolm, your wife has disappeared for so long. You are afraid you can't sleep through the night?" Malcolm pretended to be nervous, "Let her go. We can talk about it." "It's boring to ask for her. Mr. Malcolm, do you miss your wife? Do you want her arms or legs? Why don't | send it to you tonight?" Griffiths laughed evilly.
Knowing that Griffiths was just threatening, and Lyra was perfectly safe, Malcolm was still angry.
If he can catch him, he will definitely cut him into pieces.
For now, it was still necessary to hold steady, and then let him fall into the trap first.
"What do you want?" Griffiths tut-tutted, "Mr. Malcolm, you're generous. You and your wife are worth hundreds of billions. | only need 30 billion in cash, plus your resignation from NIB. Isn't it too much?" Malcolm didn't answer.
Griffiths continued, "We should meet personally. Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock in Mulland Mountain. Remember, calone." At the end, his tone was cold and gloomy, "Otherwise, Lyra Lloyd will lose more than arms and legs..." The phone was hung up.
There was a beeping sound, and the car was quiet.
Ted and Brad looked at each other, both were eager to catch him, "Boss, this viper finally shows up. We'll catch him alive tomorrow morning!" Malcolm didn't answer, and was slightly relieved. If he could find out the real mastermind behind the baby formula case, he would be able to solve the serious problem.
He glanced at the two, "It's not that easy. The condition is 30 billion in cash. Will you prepare it for me?" Brad was dumbfounded, "No way, boss. You give all your salary to your wife? Are you already so poor?" Ted rolled his eyes at these words, "Stupid ass, it's tomorrow morning! Now that banks are closed. It's hard to get ready in such a short time. I'm afraid he needs to go to the headquarters overnight.” Malcolm looked at the dark sky in the distance, and was thinking about another stuff.
After a long investigation, only Griffiths had the deepest connection with the poisoned formula case, not to mention that Griffiths instigated Lennie to kidnap Spencer tonight, which was even more suspected.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust didn't succeed, but turned around and traded with cash.
Was he really for the money? But he always felt that these things were too easy and not superficially simple.
Thinking of this, Malcolm gave an order, "You two lead the team in the operation tomorrow morning. In addition, arrange people to increase the defense of Hopevale General Hospital and Lyre Spiti." Griffiths had no plan so he cannot let him take advantage of the situation and hurt the baby.
The dark basement of the villa.
There were several erratic footsteps.
Lennie approached with his phone in hand, ordering coldly, "Open the door." The chains tinkled a few times, and the heavy door was opened.
Squeak- A gust of dust rushed to the face, causing several people to cough violently.
Lennie held the phone, which showed a video call.
The screen was aimed at the basement, and he glanced at the situation inside. Lyra, who was lying on the bed, was lifeless and dirty, like a corpse abandoned in a dark corner.
However, even if she was covered with dust, it couldn't stop her bright facial features.
"Died?" On the other end of the phone, Griffiths’ question cout.
"No, it's worthless when she's dead. How could she ruin my good deal?" Lennie said, raised her chin, motioned to Levi, and said maliciously, "Go and see!" Lyra's neck, fell limply by the bed, was picked up.
Her eyes opened slowly, which looked extremely weak.
The person on the other side of the screen didn't speak for a long time, as if he had carefully watched Lyra's state for a long tbefore he was satisfied, "Good job. Remember to feed her swater, and don't let her die." The phone hung up.
Lennie immediately put on an embarrassed face, not at all domineering, "Mrs. White, sorry to let you suffer this."
