Chapter 188: Aftermath
When he encountered the host attack for the first time in City L, with the efforts of everyone, the host was captured. Ian negotiated with him and got a lot of information. At the same time, he also promised to take more care of the host's family, so
That’s why I took this trip to New York City.
"Excuse me, is this Quinto's home?" Ian asked towards the opened cat hole.
"No, you found the wrong one." A man inside replied politely.
What's going on? The address is obviously correct, but Ian looked around and was very confused.
At this time, the elevator door opened, and a man carrying a briefcase walked out. Ian stepped forward and asked, "Hello, do you know Quinto or his family?"
The man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You should go to the management office downstairs to check. This entire building is a luxury apartment for rent. Many people live here temporarily, so I'm sorry."
After Ian nodded his thanks, he took the elevator directly to the management office. After informing him of his purpose, the staff of the management office searched for him, but still found no useful information.
"Are you sure it's not true? A woman brought a boy about six years old and a teenage girl..." Ian asked, after all, this was something he had promised.
The staff member still shook his head. At this time, a security guard passing by suddenly asked: "Are you at Mrs. Quinto?"
Ian nodded quickly and said, "Yes, do you know where she lives? I am his husband's colleague."
"Mrs. Quinto moved from here a week ago." The security guard said, sounding very regretful.
"Moved? Why did she move?"
"I asked her the same thing, and she said she couldn't afford the rent, so she moved out."
"Then do you know where she moved?"
The security guard shook his head. Just when Ian was about to leave, the security guard said again: "Although I don't know where she moved, I have her phone number and I hope I can help you."
"Thank you so much." After Ian got the phone, he was very grateful to the enthusiastic security guard.
"This gentleman." The security guard stopped Ian again and whispered: "I heard from Mrs. Quinto that something happened to her husband. Is it true?"
"That's right." Ian nodded.
The security guard said with some embarrassment: "If that's the case, this is my business card. Can you help me bring it to Mrs. Quinto? If she needs anything, I can help."
Only then did Ian understand what the security guard meant and said with a smile: "Well, don't worry, I will convey your intention."
After leaving the apartment, Ian dialed the phone: "Is this Mrs. Quinto?"
"Who are you?" The voice on the other side sounded nervous and worried.
"I'm Quinto's colleague, and he wants me to hand over something to you."
"Is he already dead?"
After Ian was silent for a while, he said, "Yes."
"What did he leave behind?"
Ian didn't know how to describe it, so he said: "It's his love for you and the children."
There was a low cry on the other end of the phone. After a while, Mrs. Quinto said: "I now live in Room 706 of the Sunshine Apartment on xx Street."
"I'll be there soon."
Half an hour later, Ian arrived at the Sunshine Apartment. It was just a dilapidated small building at the back of the street, with only seven floors in total, and there was no elevator. The smell of the apartment was very unpleasant, which made Ian realize that he was still a
The smell of my own home when I was a beggar.
The area here is not large, but excluding the stairwell, there are actually eight rooms on each floor. Ian came to the door of Room 706 and knocked twice.
After a moment, the door was opened a crack, and a woman with tears on her face looked at Ian and opened the door.
This room is only about thirty square meters. There is the kitchen at the entrance, and then there is the tiny living room, then the bathroom and a bunk bed. On the bed, a little boy and a girl are looking at each other with fearful and sad eyes.
Visitors.
Although the place is small, it can be seen that Mrs. Quinto is very dedicated to maintaining the family. After Ian sat down, Mrs. Quinto said: "You are colleagues? Quinto never said that he had any colleagues.
"
Ian said: "We are both friends and colleagues. I promised him to come and help you, but I don't know how to help you, so I have to come to see you and see what you need."
After hearing this, Mrs. Quinto cried softly again, and Ian could not dissuade her. Instead, the little boy on the bed said in a childish voice: "Uncle, can you tell those bad guys not to come to my house? I wet my pants every time.
, and they will smash our things."
The girl quickly covered the little boy's mouth. Ian was stunned and asked: "What? Someone is disturbing you?"
At this time, Mrs. Quinto stopped crying, wiped her tears and said: "Quinto told me before that if he doesn't contact us for a week, it means he is dead. He has been sending us money before, and we also
Life was good, but about a month ago, he stopped calling, and the money left before was quickly gone, because Quinto had transferred his children to a private school before, and he could graduate successfully after paying tuition for another year.
, so I borrowed money, but now we have no money to pay back, and those people often come to the house to make trouble. I have worked several jobs at the same time, but I can’t even pay back the interest..."
After listening, Ian said: "If it's just about money, there is no problem and it will be solved soon. Come with me now and I will arrange it properly for you."
"Let's go?" Mrs. Quinto was a little confused. Even if he was her husband's colleague, he shouldn't have made such a rude request.
Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door, and the little boy on the bed suddenly looked frightened and whispered: "Mom, they are here again."
Looking at Mrs. Quinto and her daughter, they both looked frightened. Ian stood up and walked towards the door, but Mrs. Quinto grabbed him and shook her head repeatedly, signaling him not to open the door.
At the same time, the knocks on the door became more and more urgent, and someone shouted: "Open the door quickly, Jimmy, honey, today is the time for you to fulfill your promise, I have prepared all the clothes for you, haha...
..”
Ian was never soft-hearted when killing people, but every time he experienced these things personally, he could not restrain the kindness in his heart. He said: "Don't worry, Mrs. Quinto, I promised Quinto to take care of you."
, I will not leave you alone."
"Who's talking inside, Jimmy, honey, why are there men in your house? Open the door quickly." The people outside the door continued to shout, and many people laughed.
Ian opened the door fiercely, and a fist knocking on the door came towards him. Ian reached out and grabbed the fist, and said to the people outside the door: "You're scaring them by knocking on the door like this."
The man who knocked on the door had a beard all over his face, but he had a big bald head. He was more than ten centimeters taller than Ian, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake the fist that was grabbed by the opponent, and the three people behind him couldn't see clearly.
Despite the situation, he was still pushing and pushing his way in.
Ian grabbed the bald man's fist and walked out, pushing the other three people away, and then closed the door.
Then there were several shouts and noises from outside the door. After a few seconds, there was no sound. Then Ian opened the door. The people outside the door were no longer there. Ian said: "Mrs. Quinto, you guys
Come out and I will take you away."
"them...."
"I gave them money, and they won't trouble you again in the future," Ian said.
Mrs. Quinto poked her head out to check, then felt relieved and asked, "Where are you taking us?"
"Help you find a place to live. The conditions here are too bad."
"Let's pack our things." Mrs. Quinto turned around to pack her things.
