Mia stares at the gang leader.Richard Ryan only repeats that one line: “I’ll talk...I’ll, talk...”Tightening her hand around the landshade, Mia is washed over by exhaustion when she suddenly got what she wanted. It was like a string that was stretched to its tightest point and then suddenly broke.Turns out it’s not just the person being interrogated who is under pressure.But it's not over yet. She has to wrap it up properly.Haste makes waste.She taks a deep breath, lets go of her hand, and smiles lightly. Then, she moved the bucket at her feet, taks out a pack of tissues from her pocket, and places it on the steps next to Ryan.After doing this, she leans over and looks down at him: "Talk, and our game will be put on hold so long as you behave.""I... there is a transfer in my bank statement called cleaning fee. It was made by the employer that day." Ryan gets her promise and quickly says.Mia nods: "Not bad, continue."Ryan looks at her face and swallows: "You can check bank st
When Mia went upstairs, she turns on the lights along the way and feels that her path is getting clearer with each step.However, this clarity did not last long before it is suddenly interrupted.Just as she stepped onto the last flight of stairs, the roar of a car engine and then the sound of brakes screams right out of the door. Immediately, there was a knock that scares her into a jump."Bang bang bang"."Bang bang bang".The knocking on the door continued. The person outside the door isn’t ring the doorbell or declare why he is there, but he sounds as fierce as if the Secret Service has come to handle a case.Could it be that the gangster downstairs got into trouble and was being investigated? Maybe it’s just bad luck that happened to him, right?Mia's heart tightens, and she runs into the study room that Ryan mentioned. She hides behind the curtains to peek through the window.On the street, three cars are parked vertically in a row. Bruce stands beside the car with one hand in h
Mia closes her eyes, finally settled down in the taxi.The fading shadow on the roof drained her.She gathered all her energy and spent the whole night dealing with Richard Ryan, but even that didn’t drain her. She didn't feel tired at all when she climbed the stairs to her fruit of the day. But now, she seems to have lost all her energy.She slumps her shoulders and lowers her head, huddled in the car seat, becoming a weak ghost.Her hand was scratched by Ryan's lampshade, and now it’s starting to throb, but even the pain feels meek.The driver glances at her several times in the rear view mirror, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Miss, are you OK?"He is an older Latino with a gentle look. Mia raises her eyes and looks at him through the rearview mirror. She purses her lips, and tries to smile, but fails. In the end, she could only shake her head slightly: "Not really.""Then today is not your day. But everything will be fine. Don't worry too much."A light comfort, yet it suddenl
"It's okay, we will bring her back." Bruce says softly, his eyes lost afar.His words are like a decision, but also like a promise to himself.His tone worries Sophia.Something not too pleasant would happen to this mighty Alpha if he can’t solve this one, Sophia could tell.He has always been calm, sharp and wise. But when it comes to Luna, his just completely lose his ration. If she is being honest, Sophia would prefer the latter because only in those moments she feels the Alpha is also a living person, with a soul and all.But now she would rather that he doesn’t. His anxiety and despair have reached their limit, and the man looks like he would lose it at any moment.The Alpha is too important to the pack. There are all the pack affairs that needs him to manage, thousands of people's lives depend on his leadership, and countless things are waiting for his decisions. He has to hang on, even if he is on the verge of collapse, he has to stick there without making any mistakes.Therefo
"Scott, the scumbag is yours."Bruce is much calmer after his outburst. He strides out of the house in a together composure, and the driver runs over to open the door for him.He gets into the car and asks Sophia what’s going on on Robert’s side."The Luna has been silent," Sophia replied, "Robert is very cooperative and everything is under control."Next to her, two men are observing Robert's entire house, looking for suitable locations to install surveillance. And Robert sits like a quail, huddles in his chair.His computer has been searched through by Sophia, and the remote control toolbox has been installed. Right now she's fixing his cell phone."Okay," Bruce nods and signals the driver to set off, "I'm coming back now. Keep a close eye on him, any interaction with Mia I want to know.""Yes, Alpha.""I have some questions for him," Bruce loosens his tie and says in a deep voice.Cold sweat breaks out on Robert’s forehead. He heard Bruce, but it sounded like Bruce isn’t coming for
"Shit!" Mia curses in a low voice, "I missed the cell phone he mentioned.""Huh?" Robert already knew about this from the Alpha, but he has to pretend to be surprised, "The one that holds the client's information? That phone?""Which other can it be?!" Mia is very frustrated.After the whole night of work, she got only two leads, with half of them left in that safe...For a moment, she doesn’t know whether to blame Bruce for messing up her mission, or herself for being too sloppy.Obviously the gang leader said that the mobile phone was hidden in the uppermost part of the safe."Then...without that, can we still continue the investigation?""Who knows." Mia leans back in the car seat, feeling even more tired. "There is the other party's bank account in the bank statement. But no one would be stupid enough to use their own account to pay a killer, right?""Well... the possibility is indeed... not very high."Robert agrees hesitantly, glancing at Sophia, who is sitting across to him.So
The moment Robert sees Bruce standing in the living room of his home, the happiness of succeeding in chasing his most worshiped star surges in his heart, making his brain dizzy.The Alpha is his age! But they have never been in the same circle, of course.Bruce has excelled in sports and grades ever since he was a child. He even skipped grades in middle school twice and entered college early. After entering college, he began to participate in the affairs of the pack and his family, and was praised by everyone as the most reliable new generation leader of the pack.Robert has always been the loser of the family. His abilities are limited and his will is even more limited. His ideal life is to lie under the care of their family and be a happy dandy.But being a dandy doesn't mean that he won't envy those who excellent, especially this person who is only a few years older than him and has a halo all over his body. Who is so much more better than him in every way.Therefore, he has always
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the streets of Maple Wood were very quiet.In a dark gray casual clothes, Mia has a big hoodie covering her head and face. She steps on a skateboard and slides lightly into the community street.She disguises herself as a leisurely pedestrian, skateboarding and looking at the scenery, as if she just came out of the neighborhood next door to play for a while and accidentally wandered here.But in fact, she had a clear goal - turning right from the second fork in the main street, and the penultimate house was Clint Wood's home.After that extremely tiring night, Mia had a good sleep, woke up and thought for a long while, then decided to go to the gym and use a set of high-intensity equipment to force herself to regain her energy.Exercise is good medicine. Sweating not only gets you pretty muscles, but also makes you forget what you should forget and regain your perseverance.When doing pull-ups, presses, and squats, she strengthened her determ
