Wes stared at Connor with a puzzled expression.
Because Wes had no idea what Connor meant!
Connor smiled at Wes and said, “I know that the two of you are just doing things for others, so there is no need for me to kill the two of you. Killing the two of you won’t do me any good, right?”
Wes looked at Connor and took a deep breath. Then, he asked in a low voice, “Then what do you want?”
“It’s very simple. You only need to tell me the person behind you and I will let the two of you off…”
Connor said lightly.
When Wes heard Connor’s words, he sneered disdainfully and said in a low voice, “You want me to betray my employer?”
“That’s right. As long as you tell me who hired you, I’ll let you leave!”
Connor nodded lightly.
“I’m sorry, we’re professional assassins. There are rules in our line of work. No matter what, I won’t betray my employer!”
Wes looked at Connor and shook his head.
“But if you don’t tell me who hired you now, I’ll kill you. Is that okay?” Connor frowned.
“Young man, you might not understand the rules of our line of work. The biggest taboo in our line of work is to expose the identity of the employer. Once I betray the employer, my family will also suffer…”
Wes said in a low voice.
A hint of helplessness flashed across Nicole’s eyes.
In fact, Nicole had some understanding of such assassins.
She knew that these assassins had always been very professional. At this time, Connor would not be able to get anything out of the kidnapper’s mouth.
Connor turned to look at Nicole and asked Wes softly, “Do you know who you kidnapped?”
“Of course I know. She’s the general manager of the Cooper Group!” Wes replied.
“That’s right. This person is the general manager of the Cooper Group. The Cooper Group is still very famous in Porthampton. Now, as long as you tell us who your employer is, not only will Miss Cooper let you go, but she will also give you a large sum of money. She can even arrange for your family to go abroad. The money will be enough for you to live abroad for the rest of your life. So you’d better consider carefully whether you want to die here or cooperate with us…”
Connor said clearly.
When Wes heard Connor’s words, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Nicole’s and asked Nicole in a low voice, “Miss Cooper, is what this person said true?”
“Yes, of course.” Nicole nodded lightly without any hesitation.
Wes looked at Nicole and Connor with a hesitant expression.
Seeing that, Nicole added softly, “Since you can make a move on me, it means that you should know my situation very well. Sending your entire family abroad and giving you a large sum of money is not a difficult task for the Cooper family, so you can consider the conditions we have given you!”
Wes looked at Connor and hesitated for two seconds. Then, he asked in a low voice, “Can I have a cigarette?”
“I don’t smoke…”
Connor replied indifferently.
“There’s a cigarette in my clothes…”
When Connor heard this, a hint of helplessness flashed across his eyes. Then, he reached out and fumbled inside Wes’s clothes. He found a cigarette and a lighter, and then helped Wes light the cigarette.
After lighting up the cigarette, Wes took two puffs and began to smoke.
Meanwhile, Connor and Nicole had been waiting quietly. They were not in a hurry.
A few minutes later, Wes finally finished smoking.
“Can you tell me now?”
Connor asked Wes softly.
“Miss Cooper, the most important reason as to why the two of us were asked to kidnap you is to make the Cooper Group give up on Porthampton’s Metro Line 9 project…”
Wes said expressionlessly.
“You want me to give up on the Metro Line 9 project?”
A trace of shock flashed across Nicole’s eyes.
“That’s right.” Wes nodded lightly.
Nicole’s expression was very incredulous at this moment. She shouted at Wes, “Who is the person who asked you to do this?”
Wes looked up at Connor and asked in a low voice, “If I say it, will you really let me go?”
“Don’t worry, I’ve always kept my word!” Connor nodded lightly.
Wes knew that this was his last chance. If he didn’t cooperate with Connor now, Connor would definitely kill him. However, if he told him now, he might still have a chance to live.
“Miss Cooper, actually, we don’t have the right to contact the employer at all. We received the mission from someone else. This is also to protect the employer’s information…”
“You mean to say that you don’t know who attacked me?” Nicole narrowed her eyes and asked Wes softly.
“Normally, we wouldn’t know about it, but there was one time when I accidentally overheard a conversation between my boss and my employer…”
Wes paused for a moment before continuing, “I heard my boss calling someone called Miss Schroder…”
“Miss Schroder?”
When Nicole heard this, she was stunned on the spot. The expression on her face was very incredulous.
“Miss Cooper, this is all the information I know. I’ve already told you everything I know…”
Wes muttered.
Meanwhile, Nicole stood rooted to the ground in a daze. There was only shock in her eyes. At this moment, Nicole did not know how to describe her feelings.
“…”
Connor could tell from the expression on Nicole’s face that the Miss Schroder in question must be someone Nicole knew, otherwise she wouldn’t be so shocked.
“Miss Cooper?”
Wes shouted at Nicole nervously.
Nicole took a deep breath and said expressionlessly, “Alright, that’s all. You can go now. Tomorrow, go to our company and look for someone called Whitney Labelle. She will give you the money and send you and your family abroad…”
“Thank you, Miss Cooper!”
When Wes heard Nicole’s words, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. Then, he directly helped Wesser up and turned to run out of the room.
