Chapter 1425
When Quinn stepped out, Alexander was already gone.
He'd taken her phone, leaving her clueless about where to go. With Sprout by her side, she was stuck.
Quinn sighed, holding Sprout, and glanced around Alexander's room. It was spotless, with nothing extra lying around.
Made sense; Alexander wouldn't leave anything important here, so there wasn't much to see.
After Alexander left, he tracked the signal and called Kyle.
"Mrs. Kennedy, we're almost there," Kyle reported, thinking it was Quinn on the line.
"Hold up. Don't follow them," Alexander ordered.
Kyle was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, "Mr. Kennedy!"
"Yeah," Alexander replied coolly.
Kyle almost cried with joy.
Following Alexander's instructions, Kyle held back. The place was too remote, hardly any cars around. If they followed too closely, they might get spotted. Sean asked excitedly, "Is Mr. Kennedy coming?"
"Yeah, he's here," Kyle replied.
Sean was thrilled. "That's awesome."
"Don't get too excited yet. We don't know if this is the right place. If it's wrong, all our efforts are wasted."
Sean said, "Since Luke came personally, it can't be wrong."
Kyle was still a bit skeptical. Alexander had been here for so long, how could he not know this place?
Quinn found this place with a simple tracker, so how could Alexander not find it?
Full of doubts, Kyle decided to wait for Alexander before making any move.
They watched the tracker, and the red dot was already far from them, but luckily, it was moving slower and seemed to have stopped.
After ten minutes, Alexander arrived, and the red dot still hadn't moved, confirming that Luke had arrived.
Kyle and Sean got out of the car and walked towards Alexander's car.
Alexander also got out.
"Mr. Kennedy," Kyle and Sean called out.
"What are you doing here? Who told you to come?" Alexander questioned, looking grim.
Faced with his questioning, Kyle and Sean exchanged glances, sensing things might not be as they thought.
Kyle awkwardly said, "Well, we've found the place. Shouldn't we go in?"
"What's the point? All you've found is one device. Do you know how many devices there are?" Alexander questioned. Kyle scratched his head. "Well..."
That made sense. He hesitated and looked at Alexander. "Do you know this place?"
"Of course I do. If breaking in and destroying the device was useful, do I need to wait for you?" Alexander pressed. "So what do we do now?" Kyle asked.
Alexander turned to look at the dark road in the distance, his gaze deepening. "Since we're here, get in the car."
Alexander had already gotten into the car, leaving Kyle no choice but to get in and lead the way.
The two cars drove through the pitch-black night. The rain fell, making the road harder to see.
After about ten minutes, they finally arrived at the place where Luke's car was parked.
It was a small village with only about a dozen houses, and Luke's car was parked under one of them.
Luke was checking today's recordings, and there was no sound at all, probably because Alexander was already asleep. He didn't think much of it.
He opened the folder and started listening to the recordings from last night to today.
Wearing headphones, he found that many of the recordings were silent. Alexander spoke very little and didn't chat with anyone.
Most of what he heard was Alexander communicating with the servants, with no useful information.
However, he caught a few lines of conversation between Alexander and Quinn during dinner, where Quinn mentioned she was lost.
Just as he was about to continue listening, there was a knock on the door.
Luke was stunned, thinking it was an illusion. No one should be knocking at this hour.
But the next second, the knocking came again, very urgent.
Luke became alert, took off his headphones, went to the door, and asked, "Who is it?"
Kyle said from outside, "Hello, we're the police. There's been a murder in the building, and we need your cooperation for an investigation." Frowning, Luke hesitated for a moment and opened the door.
Before he could see who was at the door, a hand grabbed his neck, pushed him inside, and pinned him against the wall, pressing a knife to his throat. His head hit the wall, making his mind buzz.
Hearing the door close, he opened his eyes and saw who was standing in front of him. His pupils shrank sharply.
"It's you!" he exclaimed.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Alexander walked up to him, looking at him indifferently. "Surprised?"
Luke's expression said it all; his eyes were full of shock. How could he not be surprised?
Apart from the bug, he kept an eye on Alexander. If Alexander did anything suspicious or contacted anyone, he would know.
So why was Alexander suddenly here?
Luke quickly thought of something. "Did you regain your memory?"
"Is it possible that I never lost it?" Alexander sneered.
Luke's eyes widened in shock and fear. Why did Alexander dare say such words to him? Did it mean something would happen to him tonight?
Thinking of this, Luke hurriedly said, "You still have something in your body. Even if you destroy this place, there are other places. Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Alexander's lips curled into a smile, a stark contrast to his usual calm demeanor.
He finally showed his true self, making Luke even more uneasy.
When he was Lance, he seemed harmless and easy to bully, but now he was Alexander, a ruthless man.
Alexander took the knife from Sean and patted Luke's cheek with the cold blade.
"So what? I've been playing along with you for a year, and you actually believed it. How ridiculous," Alexander sneered.
Luke was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"I've been waiting for you all to finish fighting. Don't you get it? Who said you're an outstanding youth in the Lynch family?" Alexander sneered, suddenly remembering something. "Oh, you said you got a new girlfriend today?" Luke was stunned, then laughed. "So you came for that?"
"If you want to think that, it's not wrong." Alexander played with the knife, the blade flashing under the light, making Luke's heart race.
"What do you want?" Luke asked.
As soon as Luke said this, Sean grabbed his hand and pinned it to the wall. Luke's pupils shrank, and he struggled frantically.
Alexander pressed the knife tip to his palm and said softly, "You already know so much. Guess what will happen to you?"
