Exposing the Charade of Deep Affection - Season 2 Episode 10

After speaking, he hung up the phone, looked at me and smiled, saying, “I’ve asked your sister-in-law to come and watch over Walter, let’s go!”

I nodded, following him out of the hospital.

Headed straight for the southern casino.

William was driving, seeing several newly erected buildings in the south along the way, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “River City has really developed rapidly in the past two years, the city construction is quite fast.”

I nodded, somewhat absent-minded.

Rachel had an accident last night, and I don’t know how she is now.

“Little sister, I heard that the Conner Group is currently facing some problems,” William, who was driving, glanced at me and said.

I still nodded, afraid he would think I was perfunctory, I opened my mouth and uttered a “hmm”.

Seeing this, he didn’t say anything more either.

I sped up all the way and drove the car directly to the suburbs.

Watching the car leave the city, I was full of doubts. Just as I was about to speak, my phone in my pocket rang. It was Lucas calling,

As soon as the call connected, I quickly spoke into the phone, “Lucas, do we have any leads?”

Lucas on the other end of the phone grunted in acknowledgment, saying into the phone, “The police station has been tracking Henry’s movements for several days, and we suspect he might be in a casino in the south. However, we’re not certain, as the situation in that casino is unique. The police station can’t blatantly go in to look for people, we can only try to blend in and see. I’ve arranged for police to stake out other locations. Ms. Conner, rest assured, if your person is indeed with Henry, we will definitely help you get them back.”

I nodded, facing the phone, repeatedly expressing my thanks.

After hanging up the phone, I was momentarily puzzled. From what Lucas had said, it seemed that the station had no immediate plans to take action against Henry. But why?

A political fugitive who had been on the run, has now returned to his country, yet no one plans to take action against him. It’s unreasonable!

Couldn’t figure out the reason behind this.

I sighed deeply.

Seeing me sigh, William glanced at me and comforted, “Don’t worry, I’ve dealt with Henry a few times. Although he’s ruthless, we’re still in our own country, and he knows his limits. He wouldn’t dare to mess around.”

I nodded, but my heart was still filled with worry.

Seeing the car continue to drive forward, I couldn’t help but ask, “Why is this casino in such a remote place?” I estimated that we had already traveled quite a distance from the city.

William nodded, saying, “Although it’s called a casino, it’s actually just a place where some of the wealthy people in River City gather for fun. It’s located in a remote area, mainly for the sake of tranquility.”

After passing several mountains, I vaguely saw a few castles. William drove very fast, and when we reached a fork in the road, he turned the car onto a side road.

Subsequently, the car arrived in front of a villa. After he rolled down. the car window, a handsome man in a suit and leather shoes ran out from the villa. He bent over and greeted William, “Hello sir, is there anything I can assist you with?”

Williamn grunted, handing the man a business card and several red banknotes, saying, “I need to go to the Heart Island.”

The well-dressed man in a suit didn’t rush to take the money. Instead, he took the gold-rimmed business card handed over by William, looked at it carefully, and showed a bit of surprise on his face. He said to William, “Oh, it’s Mr. Hinton. Please wait a moment, I’ll go to the front desk to register, and I’ll be right back.”

He then jogged into the villa, and about three to five minutes later, the man in the suit and leather shoes came out, respectfully looking at William and said, “Mr. Hinton, you can drive straight down.”

William nodded, his face still wearing a gentle smile. He handed the money in his hand to the man and said, “You’ve worked hard.”

The car was then started, and the man was directing by the side of the car. A door opened in a place like a garage next to the villa. William drove the car in. I thought it was time to park and was preparing to get out of the car, but William said, “No rush!”

After seeing him drive the car into the garage, the man in the suit and leather shoes waved at my door to say goodbye, and then the garage door was closed again.

Before I could figure out what was happening, I felt the car seemed to be slowly descending, and I looked at William with some anxiety

William glanced at me and said with a faint smile, “Don’t worry, after getting off, we still have to drive. This is an elevator.”

I was somewhat taken aback, the fact that this elevator could accommodate a car was truly surprising.

About four or five minutes later, I finally felt it come to a complete

stop. Then, with a swoosh, a door in front of the car opened.
