Chapter 354 Let Me See Susie


    An aircraftnded by the airport hangar.


    Julian Shaw turned on his phone, only to see numerous missed calls and unread text messages


    pop out instantaneously.


    He screened through the text messages swiftly and his expression turned green with rage abruptly.


    He took a nce at his watch rapidly and saw that it had already been two hours since Susie had


    gone aboard the ship.


    In other words, Susan Shelby had boarded the ship less than an hour after the ne had taken off.


    The ship had already sailed out of Ningcheng Port by now. The police had been monitoring the ship


    all this time but had yet to take any action recklessly.


    Amid therge number of text messages, Julian noticed a text message from an unknown number.


    "If you want Susan to live, call this number."


    Julian dialed the number without the slightest hesitation.


    On the deck, Joseph Shaw was watching the vast blue sea with a rxed expression when he got a


    call. He noticed the caller ID and cracked a faint smile.


    Julian had finally arrived in Ningcheng City.


    The game had officially begun.


    He picked up the call.


    "Joseph, tell me how Susie is. If you have the audacity to touch even a single hair on her, I will


    make sure you pay a price 1,000 times higher." Julian''s voice betrayed the fact that he was


    suppressing his anger.


    Josephughed at once. "My dear cousin, have you misunderstood something? I have the upper


    hand now. How dare you try to threaten me? Besides, whether Susan gets to live or die is not within


    my control. That will be decided by you."


    Julian’s pupils constricted abruptly. However, he said with the same expression, “Speak. Tell me


    what you want."


    His palms had already been clenched into fists.


    "I won''t tell you what I want so soon." Julianughed." Wait until I''ve left Canada with Susan. Then, I


    will naturally begin to negotiate with you. There’s no need for you to panic too much before I contact


    you to negotiate. Susan is a very important hostage, so how can I possibly kill her just like that?


    However, it would be best if you had the customs let us through. Otherwise, although I may not be


    able to kill Susan, I can''t guarantee what kind of torment she might endure."


    "Joseph!" Julian''s voice sounded dangerous at once." This enmity is just between us. Come at me if


    you have the capability. What kind of man are you? Why are you seeking revenge through my wife


    and child?"


    Joseph smiled. "Julian, have you mistaken me for someone else? I''ve never been a respectable


    gentleman. What wouldn''t I do just to be able to triumph over you? Thus, it''s best if you follow my


    instructions obediently and do as I say."


    Julian’s grip on the phone tightened for a moment." How''s Susie now? I want to see her."


    Joseph narrowed his eyes. "Sure, don''t worry. I haven’t done anything to her as of now. However,


    we are almost approaching customs. If we are stopped by customs, I can''t guarantee that I won''t do


    anything to her. You know me very well so you know that I''ve always been a ruthless person. If you


    want to kill me, I can guarantee that your woman will die before me."


    "I will call up my connection at customs, but let me see Susie now!" said Julian through clenched


    teeth.


    "Cool." Joseph smiled. "You have three minutes to talk to your wife."


    Joseph took the phone and walked into the cabin.


    Two crew members were guarding attentively the door of the room where Susan and Serenity


    Wright were kept.


    "Open the door," said Joseph.


    "Yes, sir." The two burly men opened the door.


    Susan and Serenity looked over at the door vigntly upon hearing the sound.


    Serenity shielded Susan subconsciously.


    "Joseph, what do you want?" Susan looked at him furiously.


    "Susie, it''s me!" A familiar voice was suddenly heard.


    Susan was stunned ever so slightly for a moment.


    Joseph had already ced the phone in front of her." Tsk tsk tsk tsk... I''m kind enough to let you


    speak to Julian, yet you''re actually being ungrateful.”


    Susan disregarded him and looked at Julian through the phone''s camera with red eyes.


    Julian did not look so good. He had been constantly busy over the past few days and hade


    rushing back to Ningcheng City now, so it was impossible for him not to be tired.

    "Julian." Susan felt her eyes drying up when she saw him. In the past, perhaps she would have


    already started crying. However, she cracked a smile this time. "I’m fine. Don''t worry, Joseph won''t


    do anything t o me."


    If Julian had been right by her side, she could have expressed her weakness and depended on him


    as much as she wanted. Unfortunately, Julian was not with her now. The only thing she could do


    was ensure that she was strong enough so Julian would not worry.


    "Don''t be afraid, Susie." Julian’s eyes were filled with pity. "I will do my best to rescue you as soon


    as possible."


    Susan shook her head. "Julian, there''s nothing serious going on over here. You should immediately


    head home to check on Chessie. She has been fed alcohol and sleeping pills, so I''m afraid that her


    health is at stake now. I believe that she has already been taken to the hospital by now. Go and


    check on her quickly."


    Chessie had been fed alcohol and sleeping pills?


    A look of surprise and rage shed past Julian''s eyes involuntarily.


    His adorable daughter had always been taken care of with utmost love by the entire family! How


    dare Joseph do this to her?


    "Alright, time''s up.” Susan still wanted to say something, but Joseph removed the phone right away.


    "Joseph, how dare you endanger the life of a baby!" Julian looked at him furiously.


    "You can''t me me for that. She was too noisy. What else could I do other than feed her some


    sleeping pills?” Joseph chuckled with an innocent expression." Julian, now that you''ve seen the


    hostage, you should call up your connections and get us cleared by the customs. I will contact you


    again when I reach my destination."


    Julian''s veins were bulging on his hand because he was gripping the phone too tightly. After a long


    time, h e said coldly, "Sure!” "Goodbye then. I won''t be using this phone number anymore. I will


    send you the new number when I arrive at the designated location." As Joseph was speaking, he


    hung up the phone.


    He made his way to the window and tossed the phone into the sea.


    Susan watched his actions coldly and asked after a long time, "Joseph, what do you actually want?"


    "This is a game between men. A woman is not allowed toment." Joseph took a nce at


    Susan nonchntly.


    "Heh... A game between men my *ss. You are nothing but a miserable b*stard who doesn’t have the


    courage t o confront Julian head-on," said Serenity while sneering.


    Joseph took a nce at Serenity with an extremely intrigued expression.


    Serenity could not help frowning.


    Was that a delusion? She could feel Joseph looking at her with a gaze that seemed particrly


    tolerant. In fact, it felt as if there was even... a little pity in his eyes?


    When she watched him closely again, Joseph’s gaze had already be calm andposed.


    He smiled and said, "Ms. Wright, there''s no need for you to be concerned about whether I''m a


    miserable b* stard or not. I know that both of you are even more miserable than I am now. It would


    be best if you started praying that Julian can follow my instructions properly. Otherwise, what''s in


    line for you is definitely not good.”
