Derek was preparing dinner in the kitchen when suddenly he heard a familiar bird chirping, it was Liam.
Tyrone has gone out with Bertha, and Casey is still in the villa.
Liam noticed his boss' cold eyes so he quickly waved his hand. “Boss, don't misunderstand, I didn't rush in on my own, this time I went straight in.”
Derek laughed. “Last time you beat him, did you two reconcile so quickly?”
Liam smiled stupidly.
Suddenly, his expression stiffened, and he realized that there was something wrong with Derek's words.
“Boss, I'm not gay.”
Derek changed the subject. “Let's talk about the main thing.”
Liam immediately got serious, he leaned close to Derek's ear and whispered. “I asked Aran to monitor Laura and Aran sent a signal saying that that side had moved Laura to two places, after that they didn't change anymore, no one came, and it seemed like they had abandoned Laura?”
They gave up so quickly, how could this happen?
“If you have found her location, there is no one next to her…”
Derek stopped, he looked at his watch, it was forty minutes before Bertha got off work. “Let's go take a look.”
The two of them quickly went out.
While riding in the car to the suburbs, Derek was so tired that he took a nap but unexpectedly fell asleep.
He didn't sleep well and even had a strange dream.
In the dream, he was in a small, empty, and simple room.
Suddenly, gunshots rang out outside the door.
His heart ached, he lowered his head to look and saw that a bullet had penetrated his heart.
Blood immediately dyed his whole body red.
The pain in his heart spread throughout his limbs and bones.
He turned his head in surprise.
In the dim light, Bertha was standing at the door, she coldly pointed her gun at him.
On her face was a cold look, in those eyes there was no warmth at all, only cruelty and cold blood.
Why?
His eyes were red, he wanted to get closer to her to see clearly and ask clearly.
But he had only taken two steps when his vision became blurry. His eyes were filled with bright red blood, and in the end, he couldn't see the person standing across from him.
“Boss? Boss?”
Liam called him, and Derek's consciousness gradually awakened.
"Boss, we're here. There's a small road above. To avoid being discovered by Laura, we have to walk there."
Derek blinked his dark eyes, then reflexively looked down at his chest.
His heart wrapped in a suit and shirt was still beating strongly.
But the extreme pain in the dream just now was so real that he couldn't tell which was real and which was a dream.
Bertha's cruelty appeared in his mind, and his heart also ached fiercely.
Liam feels like there's something wrong with Derek. His face was pale, and Liam used his hand to touch Derek's forehead.
He doesn't have a fever.
“Boss, what's wrong with you? Do you have any discomfort? Boss!”
Liam's voice kept ringing, waking Derek from his strange nightmare memories.
His face gradually returned to normal, his long legs stepped out of the car. “It's okay, let's go.”
Derek and Liam had just gone out of town when someone broke the news from Bruno.
After learning of Derek's move, Bruno frowned at his blue phoenix eyes. “What is he going out of town for?”
The person who came to announce the news bowed his head in response. “It looks like he went to meet a woman.”
Women?
The corner of Bruno's mouth curled up, remembering how Derek intentionally paid Bertha's attention at the police station and then deliberately looked pitiful at the gate.
His eyes were filled with affection, it seemed like there was only one person in his eyes, Bertha.
But this man secretly went to meet another woman behind Bertha's back.
It's interesting.
“You should investigate who he met, I want to see all the documents as quickly as possible.”
"Yes."
He squinted his blue eyes thoughtfully, stood up, and went to Angel's company.
—
At this time, Bertha was sitting in the general manager's office, cleaning her desk and preparing to end work hours.
Because she had previously announced that she was Angel's owner, after two free days, she told her third brother to move out of the general manager's office, and he also came back to take care of his company's business in city X.
Bertha had just finished cleaning her desk when Anne knocked on the door and entered.
“Miss. Bertha, outside there is a man in military uniform who wants to meet you, he says his name is Bruno."
Why did Bruno come here?
“I know, you tell him to come in.”
"Yes."
Anne answered softly. After two steps, she turned back to look at Bertha and whispered: "That man is also very handsome, Miss. Bertha, you really… that…”
She gave Bertha a thumbs up and looked at Bertha with admiration.
Bertha had no expression, she just gently waved her hand to signal her to go out.
When Bruno entered, Bertha was already sitting on the sofa receiving guests, politely pouring him tea.
“I'm getting ready to go home, what's wrong with you?”
Bruno smiled, he took a cup of tea and took a small sip before speaking. “It's not a big deal, I'm just curious why you interrupted my thoughts so clearly at noon, is it because of that maid in the villa?”
Bertha poured herself a cup of tea, her expression turning serious. “It's because I know very well that you and I are the same type of person, so we're not capable.”
The Bruno she knew was a domineering, stubborn person, and he seemed to have a disease of excessive cleanliness and a very strong desire to possess.
But she didn't know how powerful it was.
"If so, then you and he have no relationship?"
Bertha thought.
She wants to cut off his thoughts emotionally, she must find an uncontrollable factor for him to completely cut off.
“As you can see, it's not like we don't have a relationship. To me, he is the beautiful canary that I raise in the villa."
Hearing that, Bruno frowned. “Am I not as beautiful as him?”
Bertha didn't speak, she picked up the teacup and drank.
Bruno thought of something so a smile appeared in his eyes. “It seems you still don't understand your canary very well. You don't know what he's doing behind your back."
"What do you mean?"
Bruno stood up and adjusted his uniform.
“Come on, I'll take you to see what kind of person he is behind your back.”
