Chapter 62

say? Get one thing clear—even if it’s a dog belonging to me, I won’t allow it to be harmed by someone else!”“Yeah, not to mention your first love,” Winnie added with a smirk.That had Xavier flying into a rage. “You’d best stop while you’re ahead!”Winnie was utterly amused. He isn’t even allowing me to speak the truth now?Just when she was about to riposte, her phone dinged.It was Christopher having replied to her message.Sweeping a gaze over her phone screen, Xavier glimpsed Christopher’s name.“Who are you texting? You didn’t lodge a police report, did you?” he questioned coldly.“Of course not. Have you ever seen someone lodging a police report by texting, Mr. Fairchild? Never, yes? I’m just chatting with my husband about trivial stuff. Do you want to have a look?”A sneer tugged at Xavier’s lips. “No, it’s okay. I’m not interested in your private life. I don’t care what you do, but watch your boundaries. Don’t affect my plans.”Truth be told, Yulissa’s kidnapping was extremely fishy.Earlier, she said in the video that she went to the bar to drown her sorrows after they fought that she ended up kidnapped.But in reality, Xavier knew that she never went to the bar that night. Instead, she went back to her place after throwing a fit there.She didn’t go to the bar, yet the kidnapper claimed to have abducted her from the bar. Despite being the victim, her testimony aligned with the kidnapper’s statement. It was as though they had gotten their stories straight beforehand.However, if they were co-conspirators and colluded to blackmail him, twenty million was a pittance. Furthermore, she even paid the price of a finger.That didn’t make sense.Winnie had no idea of the perplexity within and merely texted Christopher about the general situation.Christopher told her to share her location while she drove and to be careful. That aside, he promised to make all preparations to back her up.One and a half hours later, Louis appeared with a massive suitcase in hand.It was filled with gold bars, weighing more than a hundred pounds.“We’ve installed a tracker in one of the semi-hollow gold bars, Mr. Xavier. The bodyguards in Teams 1 and 2 are ready to set out anytime. Here’s a bulletproof vest. Do put it on.”Louis had some conscience in the least, for he also prepared a bulletproof vest for Winnie.When Xavier and Winnie were all geared up, the kidnapper also called right on the dot.It was still a mechanical voice that had been processed through a voice changer. “We have a car in the underground parking lot, Mr. Fairchild. It’s a Volkswagen with a license plate of XXXX. Drive our car over. There’s a walkie-talkie in the car. After getting into the car, we’ll contact you through the walkie-talkie. Do you understand me?”At that, Xavier sneered. Well, he’s the first person who dares speak to me in such a tone.Ignoring the kidnapper, he said to Winnie beside him, “Let’s go! Bring the gold bars along.”Then, he hung up the phone.Winnie was rendered speechless, her jaw dropping.I’ve watched quite a number of police shows in the past and heard of many kidnapping cases around me, but he’s probably the first person in the world to hang up on a kidnapper. Besides, he doesn’t look as though he’s going to pay a ransom. Instead, he appears as though he’s going to raid them.Shortly after, they reached the underground parking lot and found the car mentioned by the kidnapper.Before getting into the car, Winnie checked the car over. Soon, she discovered two things.“There are surveillance cameras and electronic jammers in the car. We probably won’t be able to use our phones, and they’ll be
