Chapter 2245: Ripper Duo
Editor:Atlas Studios
What happened? Why are you so angry? Alan asked.
The people we sent out are all dead and Fang Chen is still unharmed, Daniel said, feeling ashamed.
Alan was a little surprised. He did not expect Xia Zhe to be so skilled in combat. After all, most of his subordinates were professionally trained.
Its time to send them, Alan said solemnly.
Do we really have to do this? Once they make a move, it will definitely cause a commotion, Daniel said.
Do you have any other ideas? Alan raised his eyebrows and asked.
Daniel did not say anything. He nodded and left with the bodyguards. When Alan said them, he was referring to the Ripper Duo who was very famous 10 years ago, Ella and Paul.
Back then, when the police were searching for them everywhere, the two of them were really at their wits end. After Alan found out about this, he decided to help them escape the police and to give them new ident.i.ties and a new life. The condition was that they had to help Alan with one thing in the future. No matter what that future request was, they had to do it, even if it was for Ella and Paul to commit suicide on the spot.
To Alan, the a.s.sets in Xia Zhes possession were extremely important. If he could get his hands on those a.s.sets, he would be able to enjoy boundless wealth!
Daniel quietly took a boat to a small island. The scenery there was beautiful and it was a nice place to live. Alan sent supplies to the island at fixed intervals. Ella farmed and raised livestock on the island, and Paul went out to sea during the day to fish. The two of them had a happy life there.
Auntie Ella, long time no see, Daniel said to Ella with a smile, holding up the gift in his hand.
Ella did not look happy to have guests. She knew Daniel very well. After no contact for so many years, he must have something to ask of them now.
Paul is out at sea. You can tell me what you want, Ella said expressionlessly.
Aunt Ella, why are you so serious? Why dont you invite me into the house? Its a long story, Daniel said.
Ella considered for a moment and brought Daniel into the house. After all, Alan was the one who saved them back then, so Ella still wanted to show some respect for that fact.
Daniel carefully sized up the furnis.h.i.+ngs in the house. It seemed that Alan had privately given the couple a lot of money. The furniture in the house was brand new. However, he was more interested in a photo frame with a photo of a cute little girl inside.
This must be your daughter, Daniel said, holding up the photo frame.
Ella immediately s.n.a.t.c.hed the photo frame away and hid it behind her back, saying, What exactly are you here for? Or rather, what do you want us to do?
Looking at Ellas defensive stance, Daniels patience had also run out. He sat on the sofa impolitely and said, I want you to help me kidnap someone.
Youre saying that theres actually someone whom the famous Alan family cant deal with, Ella said.
Even for us, there will be times when our abilities are limited. If its not an emergency, I wont need to activate the two of you, Daniel said.
Ella looked at the photo frame in her hand and felt that she was in a difficult position. She had thought that they would be able to live a peaceful life till the end, but this day had still arrived. The one thing they did not change was their appearances. The moment they were spotted in public, they would definitely lose their lives.
I can introduce you to our friend. Hes also very capable and is able to meet your requirements. Besides, he lives and dies for money. As long as you give him enough money, I believe hell go through h.e.l.l and high water for you, Ella said.
I dont trust outsiders, Daniel said bluntly.
Then tell me about who you want us to attack, Ella said.
Daniel handed Xia Zhes information and photo to Ella, who took it and then frowned after reading it. Even though they lived on the island, they continued to pay attention to the world outside. Xia Zhe had become very famous in the past few years, so they knew what this person was capable of.
People who were not in their line of work might not be able to tell, but based on the photos published in the newspapers, they knew very well that based on Xia Zhes posture and physique, he was definitely not just someone who went to the gym. One look and they could tell that he was a martial arts pract.i.tioner and one not to be trifled with.
Ill give you an answer in two days, Ella said.
No, you have no right to bargain with me. Im here to order you to capture Fang Chen alive. If you cant do it, Ill hand you over to the police, Daniel said.
Ella narrowed her eyes and stared at Daniel as she said, Do you think Im afraid of you? Even your father doesnt dare to talk to us like that. It would be so easy for me to kill you.
Daniel believed what Ella said, but he still said very confidently, Theres no benefit for you to kill me. My father will make sure that you wont be able to survive in this world. Even if you dont want to live anymore, you still have a daughter. Do you want to drag her down and cause her to die too? She looks to be only six years old. It will be such a pity.
