Chapter 197 Investigation
The rain gradually became a little heavier, especially on such nights, which made the air a little cold. There were fewer pedestrians on the streets, and the street lights emitted a dim light. In this cold night, the town became more and more profound.
Anna had already left the town at this time. She looked at the gradually moving scenery outside, feeling a little reluctant, but she didn't feel particularly sad. Everything was like the wind blowing in from the car window, dissipating without a trace. Leaving the man gave her a feeling of relief.
Perhaps by letting go of some burdens in life, you can go into battle lightly, and you can have a new beginning and life.
On the streets of Hongcun Town, Jia Huan also walked slowly along the street step by step. He didn't walk fast, very slowly. However, he didn't hold an umbrella, but his body was not wet by the rain. The raindrops seemed to be separated from him like a layer of diaphragm, and they fell down without getting any clothes.
He stopped in an apartment residential area in the town. He looked up at the room on the 13th floor, and with his fingers bounced, a bird flew up and flew towards the window on the 13th floor. After waiting for a while, he heard a scream inside, and then a figure flew out of the window, landing lightly on the roof of a building next to him, followed by a few jumps and running towards the distance.
It was a girl, her jumping movements were very light and quickly disappeared into the rain. Jia Huan waited for her to disappear, and suddenly she looked like a meteor and disappeared into the night in front of her.
The girl ran up and looked up at the sky. When she found that she was not followed by the bird, she stopped and breathed a sigh of relief. This place was already a grassland, and not far away was a forest. But when she turned her head, she saw a person standing there in the rain not far away.
She could see through the dark night in the rain because she had very keen insight. Just like when she saw the bird at first sight, she felt the same uncomfortable feeling that made her feel like the yellow paper she saw that day, so she was sensitive and realized immediately that there might be someone nearby, which might be unfavorable to her.
She acted decisively and did whatever she wanted, and immediately escaped from the house. She thought that with her agile skills and quick actions, she could get rid of the crisis, but she still overestimated her ability to move. Looking at the young man standing in front of her in the rain, she felt that she could not escape.
"I don't know what's wrong. If so, I want you to apologize!" The girl recognized the person in front of her and met the young man in the restaurant. She thought about it and kept a distance from Jia Huan, "You can tell your request, and I try to do what I can."
The girl felt that there was a big gap between herself and this person, so she didn't want to have conflicts with Jia Huan, so she directly chose this way of compromise. This was indeed a good way for her.
"Anna is gone!" Jia Huan said slowly, "If it were just ordinary jealous, I wouldn't care about this matter. But just after Anna left, I felt that you were not as simple as an ordinary person who needed a boyfriend. Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"Do you know what I am, right?" the girl looked at Jia Huan, then nodded seriously and said, "I am indeed what you think. I am not a human, but that doesn't mean I will not have the same feelings as humans."
"It's like turning John into your slave, right?" Jia Huan looked at her with a sarcastic smile on her lips. "You use John to test your level of bewitching people's hearts? All your actions are to make everyone here your puppets, and this purpose seems to have been achieved in John."
The girl's face changed slightly.
Jia Huan flipped his hand and a crystal small sword appeared in the air, floating on his palm. The crystal light was particularly conspicuous in the night, making the girl feel cold. She couldn't help but take several steps back and pursed her lips, as if she was estimating whether she could escape.
Jia Huan did not take action immediately, but looked at the girl, waiting for her final answer. The girl sighed as if she had made up her mind and said, "Yes, you are right. I do think so. I want to control John, but my purpose is not to hurt him."
"Continue..." Jia Huan made a gesture to her, and kept a certain distance from her. She was not far or near, and maintained strong pressure on her, making her feel that she had no way to escape.
"Because of notes...because of a note," the girl said, "There was once a missionary named Raub Dubov. In his notes, there was something very useful to me. I had to get it."
Missionary, notebook, Raub Dubov... All of this sounded like Jia Huan was interested. Yes, the purpose of his coming here was to find Raub, but he didn't know his last name. But the Rauber in the girl's mouth must be the one he was looking for, otherwise there wouldn't be so many coincidences.
"Oh? What does this have to do with John?" Although Jia Huan was interested, the expression on his face did not change. Instead, he looked at her, still with that sarcastic smile.
"Because John's name is John L. Dubov, he is a descendant of Lauber and his great-grandson. This is why I want to find John and want to control him." The girl continued to say to Jia Huan, "My name is Julie Walsh, this is all about me." As she said that, she opened her arms and shrugged at Jia Huan.
Jia Huan nodded and said, "What do you want to do when you get the notes?"
"I just want to prove one thing to the Green family, that is, their original records were wrong." Julie sneered at Jia Huan, "Now the Green family is a huge family, and no one can move them. They have the power and the ability to control the life and death of people like us. But I don't want my family to continue to hide from the ground of being in a bad reputation. This is my purpose, and I want to wash away the shame of the past."
The girl's voice was cold and deserted, but the expression on her face showed her extremely determined expression. This expression made her look not so charming and weak.
The rain at night makes people feel calmer, but it can also make people feel very anxious. It's like looking at the raindrops outside the window in the villa, drops of water crawling along the glass.
At this time, Kingsley's mood was like water droplets on the glass, crawling in a curved manner, making people feel a very different feeling of irritability and uneasiness.
"Nicole...I know this is a harm to you, but...I don't know at all. I don't know that Christine will do this. Well, I guess you know my identity, I am the heir to the Green family in Salt Lake City, but... Until now, I don't have the superpowers like Christine, because I have to attend a ceremony before I can do this." He stuttered a little, afraid of angering Nicole.
Nicole is very calm now. Although there is no expression on her face, her obvious expression has relaxed. She looked at Kingsley quietly, and Kingsley also looked at her quietly, then sighed and said, "I know this is my problem, so... I'm sorry."
After saying this, both of them fell into a strange silence. I don’t know how long it took, but Nicole finally spoke. She looked at Kingsley quietly and said, “Thank you, Mr. Green. I think…I can understand your mood, but…I have to go back!”
As he said that, Nicole stood up, then looked at him and said, "Please make it clear to my mother and my sisters, I hope you won't force me to stay here." As he said that, he turned around and walked towards the door. These words immediately made Kingsley's heart sink into the cold lake.
"Wait, Nicole-" When Nicole was about to reach the door, Kingsley suddenly stood up and shouted loudly at her, "Wait, Nicole..."
Nicole stopped and stood at the door and looked at him with a calm gaze.
"Are you going back to that home?" Kingsley was puzzled and even said with some pain, "Can't you see it yet? What kind of creatures are your mother and your sisters? They are aliens, they are rats, you live in a rat nest."
"I didn't know before, but now I know, so... I want to go back even more!" Nicole's expression was firm, then looked at Kingsley with a concerned look and sighed slightly, "Don't think about me, okay? You are the heir to the Green family, how could you be with a girl like me who has nothing?"
After Nicole finished speaking, she pulled them and left resolutely. Kingsley watched Nicole leave, and her figure disappeared into the rain. She suddenly felt a little sad and wanted to scream. She felt that everything was futile, but she was just being self-indulgent. She slowly retreated to the sofa in the living room with a little depressed look, and she fell backwards, feeling discouraged.
Nicole also walked slowly in the rain, but she did not return home immediately, but stood in the rain until her clothes were wet, tears and rain flowed on her face. Yes, Kingsley is a good man, and she also likes the man she likes, but she made a decision in the house.
