    Chapter 136 The Price


    “Mr. Barnwell! Wee, wee. I am really relieved that you havee to visit me.” He Pingru was


    as vain as the rumors said. When he faced Hank, he was full of smiles and almost knelt down to wipe


    his shoes. As usual, Hank’s expression was still indifferent. He only nced at He Pingru, and then


    Keith behind him said, “Mr. Barnwell’s time is limited. It is best to end it in twenty minutes.” “I see.


    Good, good. No problem!” He suddenly looked behind him, his eyes fixed on Lyra, and then waved his


    hand to signal Lyra toe over. Lyra was now representing ck Horse’s team. Originally, there were


    not many female drivers in this group. In addition, almost everyone knew her rtionship with Hank.


    She walked over, and there were already some whispers and discussions around her.


    “Mr. Barnwell, this is the representative of ck Horse’s motorcade. I invited you toe here today to


    exin something. The results of our investigation are here, but I hope this matter will end here.” Lyra


    raised her eyebrows and did not express her opinion. Hank nced at her and pressed his eyebrows


    down. “Reason?” “Well… Mr. Barnwell, take a look first and you’ll know.” He Pingruughed dryly, and


    there was a hint of ttery in his tone. Just as Hank reached out to take it, Lyra took a step forward and


    said, “I was at the scene at the time of the ident. It’s more appropriate for me to look at it.”


    Her fingertips swept across Hank’s hand.


    The man’s wrist paused, and there was no displeasure on his face. His gaze then fell on Lyra, and he


    watched quietly. Lyra opened the results of the investigation in public, and her brows knitted tighter and


    tighter. “Have you finished reading it?” He Pingru coughed.


    He reached out to take it, but Lyra dodged it.


    She stood up immediately. “With this result, you still think it was an ident? How shameless!”


    Then, she threw the report in front of Hank. “Mr. Barnwell, I want to hear what you have to say.” All of a


    sudden, the atmosphere became very anxious. He Pingru did not expect that Lyra, who looked gentle


    and weak, would be so difficult


    to control when she was angry. Moreover, she actually dared to get so mad in front of Hank…


    No wonder they would divorce.


    If he had known earlier, he would have met Hank alone.


    Great. He originally wanted to sell a favor to Hank and strive for the investment for the next


    Immediately, his attitude towards Lyra became a little unhappy.


    “Miss Jones, this is the racing association. It is not a ce where you can act recklessly. If you


    continue to do this, I will ask you to go out.”


    “Heh…”


    Lyra sneered and took out a recording pen from her pocket. “I uploaded it in real time. What we said


    has already been transmitted to myputer. If you chase me out now, I will release the recording on


    the Inte.” “You!” He Pingru had not expected that Lyra would do this. He gritted his teeth in anger.


    At this time, Hank had also finished reading the report. For a moment, his face was extremely gloomy.


    Previously, he had only asked Keith to find out that Alma had bribed two staff members to tamper with


    the brakes. However, it was only a witness and testimony. He could still suppress it with his own


    strength. But… The situation was different now. After a week of investigation, the Racing Association


    had already grasped conclusive evidence and the timeline was very clear. Based on the evidence they


    had now, not to mention sending Alma to prison, it was also easy to convict her of murder. If this


    continued, this matter could not be suppressed. And it was very likely to involve the entire Barnwell


    group. Hank pressed down on his forehead. He never made a loss. “President He, please go out first. I


    want to talk to Lyra alone.” Hank emphasized the word alone.


    “Okay, okay, no problem. The two of you can talk slowly.”


    He Pingru cast a look and the people from the racing association immediately cleared the area.


    “I just talked to the people from ck Horse’s team. They won’t ept any bribes or


    Hank smiled carelessly. Moreover, it was possible to throw Nore’s racing career into it.


    After all, nopetition would hope for a tainted racer to participate. Even though Lyra was already


    mentally prepared, when facing Hank alone, she still felt that her momentum was suppressed by him.


    In this world, only with capital could one have the right to speak. In front of him, Lyra was just struggling


    to survive. Hank threw the report in front of Lyra. “State your conditions,” he said. His eyes looked as if


    he was sure that Lyra would relent.


    The countermeasure that Lyra hade up with great difficulty was shattered at that moment. He


    knew too well how to grasp the weakness of his opponent. Lyra could grit her teeth and disagree. What


    about the others in the convoy? What about Nore?


    They needed to keep this team alive. Fighting Hank head-on was no different from striking a stone with


    an egg.


    Losing just like that?


    Lyra was unwilling. She clearly knew what the truth was and Hank also knew!


    She bit the corner of her lips, unable to squeeze out a single word for a long time. Hank took in all of


    her reactions. Looking at her hesitant expression, he only thought that she was feeling sorry for Nore.


    For a moment, his tone sank. “Even if it was made public, I still have the resources to suppress this


    matter. Right now, you all still have the qualifications to negotiate. If this continues, even this little bit of


    benefit will be lost.”


    His words stabbed into Lyra’s heart. She lowered her head, her eyes full of loneliness. “Hank, do you


    really think that everyone is controlled by you and will live ording to your wishes?” she asked. She


    looked up again and said stubbornly, “I believe in Nore. He will notpromise.” “Lyra, I am giving you


    a chance.” Hank clenched his fists. Was she so considerate of Nore? She had to go against him! He


    had too much tolerance and care for her, so much so that this woman thought she could fight with him.


    Just as the man was about to get angry, Lyra suddenly smiled. Then, in front of Hank, she threw the


    report into the trash can. “Thank you for the opportunity, Mr. Barnwell. We don’t need it. Just now, I


    asked the manager of Nore’s motorcade to contact thewyer. From now on, we will no longer listen to


    the


    one-sided words of the racing association.”


    “We will let thewyer take charge of this matter. Since the racing association can’t give a fair


    judgment, then we will wait for the judge.”

    “Lyra, don’t go overboard.” Hank’s eyes turned cold. He didn’t want to waste so much time on this


    matter.


    Meeting his gaze, Lyra’s smile deepened, “Hank, you forced me to do this. That day at the hospital, you


    knew that this matter was rted to Alma, but you chose to protect her.”


    “She is killing people, do you understand?”
