Chapter 426: Chapter 426 Tragic Siblings (First Update)
“Why?” Xue An asked as he ate the avocado An Yan had prepared for him, speaking indifferently.
“Because the local gang from M Country you just offended, these people have their own armed forces and are very arrogant—they don’t even care about the M Country government! If they find out, you’re in big trouble!”
“Find out what?” Xue An asked calmly.
“The disappearance of those people…”
With a faint smile, Xue An said, “What if I told you that a tornado suddenly swept up those guys and then threw them into the sea, would you believe me?”
David’s eyes gradually widened and then he shook his head, “Although I wish it were true, it’s impossible!”
Xue An spread his hands, “But those people have indeed disappeared. No one has any evidence. What does that have to do with me?”
Having said that, Xue An called Youna and others back, then happily said to the little boy, “Let’s go, I’ll take you back!”
After Xue An and his group had left.
David was still standing there, his face full of confusion.
He couldn’t figure out why those thugs had vanished into thin air.
If they’d been killed, there should at least be bodies and blood, right?
But the scene was empty, even the sand on the beach was still white as jade, without a single trace of disturbance.
David was perplexed, but he knew well.
To those blind with rage, evidence didn’t really matter.
If they concluded it was you, you’d be in trouble.
Thinking this, David pulled out his phone and hesitated before finally dialing a number.
After a moment, the call was answered, followed by a woman’s cold voice.
“David, I’m surprised you’re still alive,” she said.
David gave a bitter smile, “Nikita, why do you always hope for my death every time we meet?”
“Because no woman would be in a good mood dealing with a man who abandons everything in the end!” Nikita said coldly on the other end of the line.
“To be honest, Nikita, I’m sorry about what happened between us before, but I am an artist. Emotions should serve art, and when the passion is gone…”
Nikita looked at her custom-made watch and said indifferently, “If you’re going to continue speaking such nonsense, I’m hanging up!”
“Don’t! I really need your help this time!”
“What is it that makes a renowned artist beg a mere FBI intelligence officer?” Nikita said with a cold laugh.
David described the situation with a bitter smile, then emphasized Youna’s artistic talent.
“Believe me, Nikita! That girl’s art is the most perfect I’ve ever seen. With a little guidance, she will amaze the whole world!”
Although she couldn’t see him, Nikita could imagine David was quite animated.
“So the purpose of this call is to have your ex-girlfriend save a girl you admire?” Nikita said coldly.
David paused for a moment before speaking, “Nikita, I was wrong before, but this time I’m hoping you can help me, and quickly, because the little boy mentioned that the gangsters are called Hashi!”
“Hashi?” Nikita’s expression became grave upon hearing this name, “Those people from Zhongdu have gotten into big trouble!”
“Hashi’s boss in the background is Gonzales, the drug lord who controls most of M Country’s D product market.”
David’s face also turned pale, “What should we do?”
Nikita hesitated for a moment, then said, “Wait for me on the beach, I’m on my way now. The urgent priority is to get these people out of M Country! Whether they go to M Country or return to Zhongdu, they just can’t stay in M Country anymore!”
“Okay! I’ll wait for you, and… thank you, Nikita!” David said sincerely.
Nikita couldn’t be bothered with the man’s gratitude, she simply hung up the phone and drove straight to the beach.
Her mood was heavy, for she knew all too well how formidable Gonzales was.
He was the fierce man who had dared to assassinate the former president!
By the time she reached the beach, it was already dark, and the temperature by the sea had dropped sharply.
David was shivering in the sea breeze, and when he saw Nikita’s car, he quickly jumped in and then said with a smile, “Nikita, you’ve become a lot more beautiful!”
“Cut the chatter. If that little boy is selling fruit here, he must live nearby. I’m going to find them now!”
With that said, Nikita drove off.
Just as she had expected.
The little boy’s home was not far from the beach.
Unlike the splendid buildings and scenery on the beach,
here there were only low houses and dirty roads.
All along the way, countless villagers curiously stood by the side of the road watching Xue An and the others.
The little boy was excitedly introducing everything non-stop.
When they arrived at the little boy’s home,
it was located on the edge of the village, in a secluded place, the house shaking as if it was about to collapse at any moment.
The little boy stood by the door and called out, “Salo, Ina, come out quick!”
Following his cry, two girls, one older and one younger, walked out of the door with surprise.
The older one was only about five or six, the younger one only three or four, both dressed in very worn clothes, and their expressions became somewhat timid upon seeing Xue An and the others.
The little boy raised the bottle in his hand and said with a grin, “Look, what’s this?”
“Coke!” Both girls’ eyes lit up, and they ran over.
“Salo drinks first! The rest goes to Ina!” the little boy directed.
Salo was the older girl, she glanced at the Coke bottle with envy and then shook her head, “Give it to Ina, she has never tasted it before!”
With that, she handed the Coke bottle to Ina, the little girl who was only three or four years old took it, opened the cap eagerly, and drank it all in just a few sips.
“Is it good?” the little boy asked with a grin.
“Good!” Ina said, licking her lips.
At that moment, Salo noticed that her brother’s clothes were torn, and it looked as if they had been ripped, which made her pause.
“Brother, you… got beaten up again?”
The little boy nonchalantly waved his hand, “It’s nothing, I’m used to it! And besides, this time we should be even more thankful to this gentleman and lady! Otherwise, I might still be lying on the beach!”
Tears started to well up in Salo’s eyes when she heard this, then she took a few steps forward and said very respectfully, “Thank you! Thank you for saving my brother!”
Xue An saw everything just now, especially when he saw the boy’s shoes on Salo’s feet, he couldn’t help but sigh softly.
An Yan’s eyes reddened even more as she hurriedly pulled out all the Cokes.
“Here, there’s one for each of you!”
Seeing those bottles of Coke, which were casting an enticing glow, the eyes of the three siblings gradually brightened.
Just at this moment, a couple from M Country walked into the courtyard from outside.
