Chapter 682
"Cough cough..."
As soon as Jimmy finished, Kobi started to cough loudly. His face turned red, and there was even
blood seeping out of his abdomen.
Instantly, Ariah was shocked by his reaction. Was he angry about what happened, or because they
found out what he did that he reacted this way?
"I kidnapped her?" Kobi stopped coughing. Panting, he continued, "Why would I kidnap her?"
Jimmy raised his eyebrows. "It''s not like you''ve never done this before."
Kobi''s expression froze. "What do you mean?"
"You were the one who tied her up yourself when she went missing, weren''t you?"
Kobi pursed his lips. It looked like Emily had really regained her memories, and she had indeed told
Ariah about it.
And Ariah must have told Jimmy about it...
He looked past Jimmy''s shoulder indignantly.
Receiving his gaze, Ariah shrunk sheepishly at first, but then she red up. "Why are you staring at
me? He''s right! You did kidnap Emily once and even did those despicable things to her! What?
You can do bad things on her, but she isn''t allowed to tell me about it?"
Her sarcasm made Kobi turn pale,plicated feelings shing across his face. Eventually, he
pursed his lips andy down, gasping violently with his eyes closed.
Ariah could tell that Kobi was furious based on his expression, and she wondered if she was being
too harsh to him.
But on second thought, she realized that she did not do anything wrong nor tell any lies.
She cursed inside her, "Stop feeling sorry for him! He did do something wrong and he should count
his blessing that I didn''t beat the crap out of him. Why did he get pissed off when I simply insulted
him a little?"
"I didn''t kidnap her. I have nothing to do with her kidnapping this time."
After a long while, Kobi slowly opened his mouth to speak.
Ariah curled her lips. "I don''t believe you..."
"Then what you want me to do for you to believe me?" Kobi suddenly turned his head and stared at
her. "We don''t know how is Emily now. You won''t get anything by interrogating me here. Hurry and
go find her now!" "Ariah, leave us," Jimmy, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said.
Ariah nodded. "David and I will be waiting outside. Call us when you need anything."
After that, she made an expression that said, "If Kobi touches you, I''ll rush into the room to protect
you." Jimmy chuckled and nodded with a nonchnt hum.

Only then did Ariah walk out at ease.
When there were only the two of them in the room, Jimmy pulled over a chair, sat down in front of
the bed, and recounted, Tve seen the surveince. This is a nned abduction."
Kobi grimaced. "Do you think I did it?"
"I did suspect you. After all, it''s not like you''ve never done something like this before."
Kobi slowly calmed down. "You did? So now you don''t find me suspicious?"
"Originally, I was suspicious of you, but judging from your intense attitude, it doesn''t seem like
you''re lying, so I don''t suspect you as much as I did before."
Kobi frowned at him.
Then, Jimmy leaned back in his chair casually. "I don''t think I have to exin to you how powerful
andwless Emily''s kidnappers are."
It showed how arrogant and bold they were for kidnapping someone in a crowded hospital in broad
daylight.
If they dared tomit such a heinous act, they were certainly not afraid of being investigated.
Jimmy started his analysis, "You haven''t been in the country for the past few years, and you don''t
have any connections in Beachmarsh City. It''s impossible for you to find Emily by yourself."
"But I can help you."
Jimmy slowly finished hisst sentence.
Kobi pursed his thin lips. "What is your condition?"
There must a reason why Jimmy asked Ariah to go out, wanted to talk to him alone, and presented
his findings to him. He must have something he wanted from him.
"My dear brother, even if you''re injured, you''re still able to think quickly," Jimmyplimented.
Kobi sneered, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don''t keep me guessing."
Clearing his throat, Jimmy went straight to the point, "I know what you want to do, and I know why
you return to Beachmarsh City this time. I''ll help you investigate Emily''s case, but I want you to stop
whatever you''re nning to do."
Kobi was genuinely startled but it was soon reced by tranquility. Jimmy was a keen and
meticulous man. How could he not investigate it after knowing that he was hypnotized?
He probably didn''t have any trust on him now.
However, Kobi was not worried even if Jimmy insisted on investigating his case. It happened so
long ago that he probably couldn''t find anything useful.
Thinking of this, Kobi curled his lips slightly as he said, "I don''t understand what you''re saying. Look
at me, I''m an injured patient lying helplessly in the hospital. What do you mean? What should I stop
doing?"
"Do you think it''s funny?" Jimmy squinted. "Do you want me to throw the evidence on your face?"
At this moment, Kobi was certain that even if Jimmy knew, he would only know a little about it, so he
wasn''t worried. "Emily is missing. As a police officer, don''t you think it''s your duty to search for her?
Fine if you don''t look for Emily because of me, but do you think Ariah will let you be? It seems that
they are quite close to each other. Ariah must be very anxious if Emily remains missing."
Jimmy chuckled at his teasing. "Kobi Hudson, do you think I''m still that reckless boy? Do you think
I''lle to you so confidently without any solid proof?"
Kobi looked at him with a smile, but didn''t say anything.
Knowing that Kobi would not buy anything he said without giving him any solid fact, Jimmy nced
at him and blurted Josiah''s name faintly.
Sure enough, when Jimmy blurted the name, Kobi suddenly stiffened that he even stopped
breathing for a moment, his eyes full of disbelief. He slowly turned his head to look at Jimmy, and
huffed word by word in his awfully hoarse voice, "What did you say?"
Calmly, Jimmymented, "As I said, I know what you want to do. I even know more than you think."
Aplicated expression painted Kobi''s face. He moved his lips, but nothing came out of it.
No way...
He didn''t expect that Jimmy would be able to find out about Josiah.
He assumed that Jimmy knew only the surface of the matter, but never did he expect that he knew
so much more than he had imagined.
"Stop what your''re doing, and I''ll help you find Emily. After I found her, you''ll take her away from
Beachmarsh City."
Jimmy red at him straight in the eyes, his gaze as sharp as a sword. "There is no room for
negotiation. I''m just giving you a brief warning to stop what you n to do. Turn around before it''s
toote."
