Chapter 146


    Chapter 146 Safe and Sound


    At 7:30 that night, Hank and Jasper came to Creek Club together. As soon as they entered the hall, a


    manager came to wee them.


    “Mr. Barnwell, this way.”


    “Mr. Barnwell hasn’t been here for a while. Mr. Lubi has prepared a few special dishes for you tonight.


    You must have a taste.” The manager led Hank inside. If not for Hanming calling him several times to


    invite him, Hank really wouldn’t have made the time toe today.


    Behind them, someone whispered, “That’s Hank, right? Did you see the news? He and Alma are


    talking about that kind of thing at the entrance of the hospital delivery room. Geez!”


    “The wedding was held twice, but it didn’t seed. It’s really… really a disgrace.”


    Hank didn’t look pleased.


    “Someone must hate you so much that she would use such a method to make you look bad.” Jasper


    held back hisughter.


    “Who else could it be?” Hank suppressed the anger in his temples and said in a low voice.


    Apart from Lyra, who else would do such a boring thing? Hank never bothered to exin, so those


    rumors would be more and more outrageous. Some even said that he couldn’t help himself and


    did it with Alma in public…


    Vulgar!


    The man took out his phone and looked at the message from Keith. “Mr. Barnwell, the news has been


    suppressed, but…”


    Listening to the voice over there, the man’s eyes became colder and colder. “Keep looking.” “Yes, Mr.


    Barnwell.” Jasper saw that he was obviously angry and whispered, “What’s wrong?”. “Lyra is missing.”.


    In the private room, Hanming greeted the two of them with a smile and kept saying good things to


    Hank, “Mr. Barnwell is really young and promising. At your age, I never had the ability to manage such


    a bigpany.”. He kept fawning on Hank and even personally cut meat and poured wine for him.


    However, Hank kept looking at his phone with a cold face. His attitude was neither


    warm nor cold. “Don’t mind him, Mr. Lubi. He has something to deal with. Let’s eat first.”


    On the other side, Hanming could only smile. He did not dare to provoke Hank. His phone rang. It was


    Lucy. He apologized and picked up the phone.


    “Maybe her phone is out of battery. What’s there to make a fuss about? Nore is going to have an


    operation tomorrow. The operation is important. You should apany your son. What are you looking


    her for? Seriously!”


    Hanming hung up the phone and saw that Hank’s eyes were even colder. His body froze, not


    understanding what he had done wrong. “I appreciate your kindness but I really have to leave now.”


    After Hank finished speaking, he stood up and left the table. In his eyes, the luxurious dishes on the


    table were not worth the time. Especially when he heard that Lubi family treated Lyra like this, Hank


    really could not stay for a minute.


    “What? Mr. Barnwell!” Hanming wanted to catch up, but he was stopped by Jasper.


    “Mr. Lubi, there seems to be something wrong with the goods that yourpany gave to the Barnwell


    group before. You should first manage yourpany. We can talk about cooperationter. Don’t make


    it ugly.” Hanming sighed helplessly. But when he looked down at his phone, he clearly felt that Hank


    was not angry about this matter.


    Hank quickly walked out of Creek Club. Outside, Keith was already waiting by the car. “Mr. Barnwell,


    we still can’t contact Miss Jones, but we have already found thest ce where her phone signal


    appeared.” “Let’s go.”


    The lights in He Xiao’s apartment were dim.


    “Let go of me, are you crazy?” She gritted her teeth and looked at Lyra who had tied her to the chair.


    Lyra just looked at her, very calm. “Then drink this ss of champagne. Ten minutester, if you are


    still safe and sound, I will let you go and apologize to you.” He Xiao’s eyes were wide open as she


    watched Lyra pour ss of champagne into her mouth.


    “No… no!” She struggled with all her might, but she still drank a little. Lyra let go and took a few steps


    back, keeping a safe distance from He Xiao. Who knew what was in the champagne ss?


    Fortunately, when she was in prison, she learned a few self-defense skills from Prison Friend Leah.


    It was more than enough to deal with He Xiao.


    It was also because He Xiao was not on guard.


    In a few seconds, He Xiao began to breathe heavily and her face turned red. She stared at Lyra and


    begged in a low voice, “I beg you, let me go first, okay? I will tell you everything.” “No need.”


    Lyra took out her mobile phone and opened the cloud save file. “I will send the things in the Yun Xi card


    to thepany group now.”


    Just now, she had found that He Xiao had installed a signal jammer in this house. Now, the signal had


    been restored.


    “No!”


    He Xiao widened her eyes. “I put a bit of it in the thing you drank… it won’t do anything to you!” He Xiao


    shouted, and her body began to struggle. It was as if Lyra would take her life. However, she had


    begged the wrong person. Lyra was not a kind-hearted little girl. The people who harmed you would not


    be grateful to you because of your soft-heartedness. On the contrary, they would be more and


    more vicious. Unless you cut them off for good, you would never be able to eliminate future troubles.


    “It’s toote.”


    Lyra quickly pressed the send button.


    Then, someone knocked on the door.


    “I’m here!” He Xiao immediately became excited.


    But just as she shouted, she was pped in the face by Lyra. “If you move again, I’II blow your head


    off.” Lyra picked up the ss fish tank next to her, her eyes fierce. She was not joking. He Xiao’s face


    was burning with pain. She gritted her teeth and did not dare to make a


    sound. Lyra walked to the door and looked out through the peephole. She was stunned for a few


    seconds. Her hand slowly gripped the door handle. The door opened. He Xiao looked over with


    anticipation.


    However, she only saw a pair of hands pulling Lyra out. It was a pair of men’s hands. The watch on the


    N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    wrist was worth hundreds of thousands, let alone the suit.


    Then, more than a dozen bodyguards in ck rushed in and searched the three floors outside of He


    Xiao’s house. “Mr. Barnwell, there is nothing suspicious.” After that, Hank stepped in. His right hand


    was still holding Lyra’s wrist, and he ignored Lyra’s struggle. At this time, the effect of the medicine had


    alreadye up. She kept twitching, and thest sentence before she fainted was, “Lyra, I’m sorry.”


    The man’s face was cold, and then he looked at the woman he was pulling. She was full of spirit, her


    face was ruddy, and she struggled to free herself from his imprisonment.


    “What are you doing here?”


    Lyra stared at him and asked.


    Hank looked around for a while and whispered, “If I didn’te, I wouldn’t have seen such an


    interesting show.” He kicked away the champagne ss on the ground and nced at her coldly. “Not


    only do you know how to race, but you also know how to kidnap people?”
