Chapter 880 I’ll Be Waiting
Zeke smiled knowingly. “I will be waiting for your good news, Alec.” “However, it’s been so long. I’m afraid I won’t be able to find anything out,’ Alec said. He felt that Zeke was giving him this impossible task on purpose, so he would have a reason to attack him later.
As if prepared for his answer, Zeke said, “Don’t worry. I already caught two of the killers. I’ll let you be the interrogator. You can’t let me down!”
In truth, he had already interrogated them. Finding nothing, he had gone to see Alec. He felt it had something to do with Alec, and those two killers would get upset when they saw him. If Alec were the one to interrogate them, they’d be unable to deal with the betrayal and blabber about everything.
Alec could guess most of what Zeke was thinking.
It was a pity that Evan’s henchmen had never seen Alec before. They had no idea why they had to kill Xavier. Even if he were the one to interrogate them, nothing would be found.
After Zeke left, Alec called Evan to ask why his men were caught.
Evan was stressing over it. He had indeed underestimated the power of the Fausts.
He didn’t expect them to have people situated at the borders. His men were ambushed and hurt badly. Only a few escaped, and two were taken as hostages.
“I don’t care what you do, Alec. You have to get them back, or I will tell the Fausts that this was all your idea.” Evan was infuriated. How would his henchmen work for him if he failed to rescue the two of them?
Alec laughed. “Don’t be so naive, Evan. Do you think they’d leave the Fausts ‘ house alive? You should focus on lessening their suffering and let them leave as soon as possible.” Of course, what Alec meant by leaving was letting them leave this world, not the Fausts.
Evan was quiet. He knew that, too, but it infuriated him very much.
After a while, Evan sighed. “They were helping you, Alec. Let them go happily..”
“Alright,” Alec agreed. He had called Evan just to hear that from him.
Although he would have done it anyway without his permission, Alec had to avoid Evan using it against him in the future.
He hung up and got down from his bed, packing his things. He couldn’t stay in the room any longer.
When Jenny came back, Alec had already packed up his belongings. She was stunned but reacted quickly. “Do you want to be discharged now?”
“Yes.” He nodded. He looked at her. “Let’s have lunch together. Think of it as a celebration.”
“Alright.” For once, Jenny didn’t refuse. Alec had survived death once more. It was worthy of a celebration.
She did not expect the celebration to take place in the hospital cafeteria, however.
Jenny was speechless. “If you’re broke, you can ask me to treat you to something. You don’t have to lower yourself to the cafeteria.”
“I don’t mind at all. Whenever I ask you out, you say you’ve already eaten in the cafeteria. So I thought, maybe the food here is delicious. Why else would you always come here to eat? So, I’m here to try it out,” Alec said.
