The car that Hai Xiao Min was riding had also turned into the fork in the road. Including her, there were only four people inside, and the sunglasses guy was also inside.
She later learned that these were little tricks they wanted to play to get rid of their pursuers. They might end up being tracked, but at least they had enough time to spare.
After a long drive through the night, they finally arrived at a destination that was not the wilderness or abandoned garage that Hai Xiaomin had imagined.
The lights in front of his eyes were bright, and the fountain at the entrance was illuminated by the colorful lights. Behind the fountain, there was a garden villa. On both sides of the road, there were similar villas.
It was a villa in the suburbs.
In the country of Mi, it was easy for ordinary people to own their own independent villa. However, the villa in front of them was obviously for the rich.
Hai Xiao Min blew a breath of hot air onto his cold hand and stood in front of the door to check it out.
"Go in." The man got off the car and hooked his arm around Hai Xiao Min's shoulder. She frowned in disgust and forced herself to enter the house.
Behind him, the car continued to drive away.
"You're back?" There were also people wearing black suits standing guard in the living room on the first floor. One of them was sitting on the sofa, smoking while reading a newspaper. When he saw someone enter, he put out his cigarette and stood up.
Hai Xiao Min was placed on the sofa and calmly looked around. She was a little discouraged. There were guards at the windows and the door, cutting off her escape route.
Not long after, the sound of footsteps came from the second floor.
Hai Xiaomin looked up and saw three figures coming down the stairs. A young man in a white shirt and bow tie and a small vest was standing at the foot of the stairs. Behind him was a lady, holding a notebook in one hand and playing with a small tape recorder in the other.
The other person was the person who had said earlier that he would go get someone.
Hai Xiao Min looked at the three people approaching cautiously. The young man sat down opposite of her and extended his hand first, "Hello, my name is Charlie. She is my assistant, Julie."
This was a very ordinary greeting gesture. One could not find any trace of danger on his body.
However, Hai Xiaomin still didn't have the desire to shake hands with him. Anyone who was brought along like this wouldn't be able to immediately abandon their former hatred and become friends with him.
The man took a moment to retract his hand. However, he was aware of the hostility the other party held towards him. "Please forgive us for using this method to invite you here. I just want to say that we have no ill intentions."
Hai Xiao Min smirked and said coldly, "Maybe I can try pointing a gun at your assistant's head and tell you I mean no harm."
Both of them were embarrassed by this Dongfang lady's blunt words. "I'm sorry, Nimo and the others are rough people. I've already reminded them to be a bit more polite."
"Please speak frankly. The purpose for which you brought me here." Hai Xiao Min sat upright, not wanting to make any more detours.
If she was worried that the other party was a criminal organisation and worried about her personal safety, then now, she was at a loss as to why he was doing this.
She really wanted to know the other party's intentions!
Charlie looked at the female assistant sitting at the side of the table in confusion. He said to Hai Xiaoming, "We just want to get to know you."
"Something about the time you and Mr. Nudge were trapped on the island."
"Mr. Nudge?" Hai Xiao Min repeated this person's name doubtfully.
"You …" Charlie was puzzled for a moment, then he told her, "Mr. Nudge is the founder of the LY Empire. Right, I think we found out that he went to China a while ago and used a Chinese name. What's his name?"
He asked the female assistant about it and got her to pronounce it in broken Chinese: "Ling Yao."
"Oh, yes, his name in China is Ling Yao."
Is Ling Yao Joe Nudge?!
After hearing this result, Hai Xiaomin was shocked. How was this possible?
Hai Xiao Min's reaction was caught in their eyes, the two of them looked at each other: "You don't know?"
"I …" Hai Xiao Min seemed to have been excessively stimulated, and her brain had a short circuit. She smiled and asked, "Should I know?"
"We thought you were close to Mr. Nudge." The implication was that Mr. Nudge should not conceal his true identity from her. "So, what kind of relationship do you have with Mr. Nudge?"
However, now was not the time to investigate the truth, but to assume that if this was true, then the reason why they took her away was clearly because they had come for Ling Yuan!
She tried her best to calm the waves in her heart as she replied, "Friend."
"Friend? A couple? Or a friend of the ordinary kind? " The other party had not given up and wanted to get to the bottom of this.
"What do you think?" Hai Xiaoming smiled at him without much ridicule, "Your girlfriend, how could she not know about your job?"
Did she and Ling Yao count as lovers?
Probably not.
They had never truly confirmed that relationship, love, but it was a state of affairs that could not be measured by any means.
"So that's how it is." Charlie glanced at the female assistant again, and both of their faces showed a hint of regret.
Catching the weird looks on their faces, Hai Xiao Min temporarily calmed down and asked, "What's wrong? You all look very disappointed? I don't know who you are, or why you asked me about Mr. Nudge. If I am not mistaken, what you are doing now is breaking the law of the land of rice. "
Charlie felt slightly troubled. This Chinese woman looked weak, but her heart was calm and rational: "Don't worry, we are not an illegal organization. In fact, we were hired by LY."
"Are you LY's employees?" Hai Xiao Min was surprised.
What was going on? If Ling Yao was the founder of LY, then his company's employees had kidnapped her from the hands of his subordinates. Was this an internal split?
"Yes, we were commissioned by the LY to learn more about the details of Mr. Nudge's life on the island." Charlie said.
"You're not cops."
"But we still have the power to investigate these things."
"If you have the right, why don't you ask him?" Understanding the details, Hai Xiao Min became calmer and calmer, and her aura also gradually rose up.
Charlie was rendered speechless by her question, and could only explain with difficulty: "As far as we know, Mr. Nudge himself is very difficult to deal with."
Hai Xiao Min laughed, "So you thought I was easier to deal with and decided to start from me?"
"Yes." At this point, Charlie could no longer hide his identity.
"I have no right to refuse to answer?" Hai Xiaomin's heart sank slightly when she saw the other party's honesty.
