Chapter 204: The Strangeness in the Calm
The three of them took turns playing with Lauren's phone, but they had no clue.
"Could it be that this person has supernatural powers? I can't believe the calls are all empty."
Ray through the computer reconnaissance, found the phone number to call Lauren, but over and over
again to pull the call, came the cold voice of an empty number.
"That's probably what Lauren is afraid of, a number to call herself. I can't believe it's an empty number,
it all sounds spooky, but I've already put the latest developed listening device inside the phone, once
this person if they've called in. We can follow the clues and find out his identity."
Matthew nodded, put his phone down, walked to the wine cooler and poured three glasses of red wine.
"Do you guys feel as if everything can be strung together, first everyone in the unit's computer, received
photos of Mian Er being abused, causing panic among all the employees, followed by the news of
Emily's disappearance, this is one more mysterious phone call, I feel like we've been led by the one in
the dark. "
Ray nodded his head.
"I also feel that things are a little weird, Matthew, you should change your approach or there is no way
that you will find the person behind this who has designs on Lauren."
A plan instantly formed in Ray's mind, maybe this way, not only can find the man in the dark, but also
Matthew can find the happiness of this life.
The curvature of Ray's mouth lifted to let electricity understand his thoughts.
"Matthew, I also feel that Ray is right. Changing our strategy is the only thing that will make it all come
together."
Matthew's sword brows were furrowed together, without Ray having to say his plan, he had already
guessed a rough idea.
"Are you guys sure I want to do this?"
Thunder and electricity nodded at the same time.
"This is the only way so far, the man only contact with Lauren, so twenty-four hours without leaving
Lauren. you can only find clues."
Matthew's slightly narrowed eagle eyes flashed with disgust.
"Okay, I'll do anything to find that man and find Mian'er."
Hearing Matthew's words, Electricity and Ray really don't know whether this is comforting or sad.
"Matthew, does Mian Er really hold such an important place in your heart?"
Electric asked Matthew tentatively, wanting to know, how important Miane was to Matthew.
Mian Er, Matthew has always been full of cold black pupils, raised a trace of tenderness.
"Denshi, you know Mian Er, she is the most simple and sweetest girl in the world, and more than once,
she has used her body to help me block the bullets shot at her. We have so many dreams, isn't such a
girl worthy of my guardianship? I really hate that when the fire incident happened, why didn't you
investigate properly and take a corpse that wasn't even Mian'er, as her."
The tenderness under the eyes was immediately replaced by self-reproach.
Thinking of the woman he loves, the pain and suffering, Matthew has an urge to smack himself to
death, if not for himself, the simple and kind Mian Er, is not treated by the man in the dark, suffer so
much pain.
"Matthew, I know a lot of things happened between Mian Er and you in the past that made you happy,
but now that I hear you say that, I really think that the reason you want to get Mian Er out so quickly is
not because you love her, but because you subconsciously want to repay the kindness she once gave
you for saving your life."
Electric objectively analyzed Matthew's feelings for Mian'er, but in return, Matthew gave a bellowing
rage.
"Stop talking, I do love Mian Er, no matter what Mian Er becomes, it won't change my feelings for her,
let's go out, I want to be alone."
Electricity sighed softly. Walked up to Matthew.
"Matthew, face up to your own feelings, have you ever thought, when Mian Er died, you were just sad
for a while, then immediately called Lauren to your own side, playing with the idea of avenging your
mother, tormenting Lauren, tormenting her mother, but when her mother died, why did you force her
once again to stay own side, at that time, but you did not know that Lauren's father, is Shangguan
Baocheng."
Electric's words pierced Matthew's heart in every sentence.
"Stop talking, Denshi, although I don't have clear evidence now, but I can be sure that the man who has
strong possessive desire for Lauren in the dark is the man who controls Mian'er, so I'm going to put this
whole account on Lauren. If it wasn't for Lauren, Mian'er wouldn't have suffered so much, and if it
wasn't for Lauren's mother, my mother wouldn't have died so quickly."
Madness has made Matthew lost all sense, eagle eyes have been completely replaced by hatred, the
whole body emits the cold, even the knowledgeable Ray and electricity, but also some shuddering
feeling.
"Electricity, stop talking, you're going to cause Lauren more trouble and pain by saying that."
Ray hurriedly pulled the electricity and pushed her out of the room, but did not expect to see a tearful
Lauren at the door.
"Lauren ...... you heard everything?"
Lauren's face falling non-stop tears, let electricity some uneasy, although Lauren has been standing in
front of their own, but they really from her body, can not see any of the life.
"I came over to pick up my phone, and I believe you have installed a listening device."
Lauren a calm face to wipe the tears dry face, calm tone, even Matthew in the study, also felt a strange
indifference.
Ray hurriedly put the phone in Lauren's hand.
"Lauren, I'm sorry for going to ...... without your permission."
Before Ray's words could be spoken, he was interrupted by Lauren.
The corners of Lauren's mouth rose slightly, evoking a smile that was frightening.
"Don't say anything, I understand. I'm a little tired, I'm going back to rest."
With that, Lauren turned around and walked towards her room.
Watching Lauren's departing back, Matthew had an uneasy feeling and he took a few steps closer to
block Lauren's front.
"Is there anything else?"
In the face of Matthew who was in front of him, Lauren's pale face, there was no change. But the
corner of her mouth if the light smile, but like a sharp knife, fiercely stuck in Matthew's heart.
Yes, a wave of fear was building in his heart. He thought that after hearing those cruel words of his,
Lauren would make a big fuss and go into a frenzy.
But now, Lauren not only did not fall into madness, but also a calm face, just such a calm, but Matthew
felt afraid.
"Don't you ...... want to ask me something?"
It was the first time that Lauren saw a touch of insecurity, a touch of fear, in the towering Matthew.
She smiled and laughed very happily.
"Should I ask anything?"
The calmer Lauren became, the more frightened Matthew became. He excitedly grabbed Lauren's
shoulders and shook them hard.
"Why don't you cry? Aren't you the least bit sad that I treated you so badly?"
Matthew's shaking gave Lauren a feeling of nausea and a desire to vomit. Her little face turned even
paler. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"Matthew, let go, she's going to faint."
Electricity rushed to Matthew's front, and together with Ray, freed Lauren from his confinement. Helped
Lauren, disappeared within Matthew's sight.
"Matthew, don't you think you're reacting not like you're dealing with the daughter of an enemy, but
venting your inner fears?"
Ray a heavy words, so Matthew fell into a deep thought, a person sitting in a chair dumbfounded, even
when Ray left, he did not notice.
"Lauren, can you talk to me for a minute?"
After returning to the room, Lauren did not say a word, a pair of empty eyes, has been staring firmly out
of the window. There was no life in her body.
"Electricity, I'm tired, you go out first."
This was the only word from Lauren after half an hour, but it made the electricity more worried.
But she left Lauren's room gingerly.
To make sure that electricity has left, Lauren has been holding back the tears, can no longer control the
flow down, she covered herself in the blanket, crying loudly and painfully. The cry was heartbreaking.
This sad voice, even the electricity standing in the doorway, also felt a pang of heartache.
As a woman, she could see Lauren's love for Matthew. If it were not for the love that sustains this
woman, she would not have endured torture after torture, giving up the opportunity to leave again and
again, choosing to remain by this man's side.
But Denshi is really not sure, after this cruel incident, will the love in Lauren's heart still remain?
Matthew, who hadn't slept all night, was a little tired on his handsome face, but the first thing he did
was to enter Lauren's room and gingerly walk up to her.
He could clearly see the tear marks on Lauren's face, and even in her sleep, Lauren still let out bursts
of sobs from time to time.
Matthew uncontrollably placed his hands on Lauren's face and gently wiped away the tear stains on
her face.
What the hell am I supposed to do? To make everything go as I expected it to go.
Lauren, you can not blame me, to blame all things related to you, but for the sake of your years with
me, when I find Mian Er, I will let you go free, let you go to start your new life.
Matthew's remark caused Lauren to suddenly open her eyes and stare unblinkingly at Matthew.
"Do you think I, now, have to believe what you say?"
Lauren's sudden opening of her eyes didn't surprise Matthew, because he had already seen from her
constantly moving eyelids that she was pretending to be asleep.
"Matthew, I want to work with you, and I want to know who the man who is behind me, really is."
Lauren suddenly sat up, her eyes staying locked on Matthew's body, full of insistence.
"Okay, cooperate with me, and I'll let you know who that man is."
The corners of Matthew's mouth rose slightly and he hooked an evil smile.
