Chapter 267: Leaving Huyang City
Shi Ye gasped in pain but did not fight back, allowing Kenny to hit him. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Carl rushed over, grabbing Kenny's arm. "Kenny, calm down!"
Kenny was completely out of his mind, so he couldn't listen to Carl and hit Carl too.
Carl's parents used to be gangsters, so Carl practiced martial arts, but Carl couldn't stand being beaten up by Kenny, who was entirely out of his mind.
At last, they were both bleeding from wounds, and when they were too tired to fight, they lay down in the blackened ashes.
When the two fought, Shi Ye didn't stop them but led people to look for Gloria.
As might be expected, there was no trace.
The fire destroyed everything in the villa.
Shi Ye's voice sounded hoarse as he walked over to Kenny. "I can't find the young lady."
When Shi Ye finished speaking, he was ready for a beating.
Kenny didn't hit him as he predicted.
After Kenny heard Shi Ye's words, he didn't respond. He just stared at the blackened ceiling motionlessly as if he hadn't heard Shi Ye's words.
Shi Ye turned to look at Carl.
Carl reached out, wiping the corners of his mouth. He propped himself up and spat a mouthful of blood into the ashes nearby. "Leave him alone, and let him go crazy. Damn it. I can't even get up, so Shi Ye,
please help me..."
Shi Ye walked over to Carl, helping him stand up.
Carl trembled before he stood up.
Kenny just hit Carl hard, so if Carl hadn't practiced martial arts, he wouldn't have been able to fight with Kenny, and Carl would be in the emergency room right now.
After accidentally touching the wound, Carl gasped, leaned over to Shi Ye, and whispered. "You tell your young master to calm down, and then you can leave him alone."
Shi Ye nodded, though a little worried.
Carl was helped out by Shi Ye when Carl saw a reporter giving the live interview with his back to the burned villa.
Carl took a detour and got into the car.
But Shi Ye was not so lucky.
The reporters soon noticed Shi Ye, gathering around him.
"Do you work for Mr. Clarke? Is Mrs. Clarke still in there? Did she commit suicide because she felt guilty?"
"I've just seen Mr. Clarke go in, so what's he doing in there, and when will he come out?"
"I heard that Mrs. Clarke got a summons to appear in court today, while she committed suicide today, so this means that she did push Richard down the stairs?"
“…”
The reporters' questions were all about Gloria while asking more and more sharp questions one by one.
Shi Ye simply said coldly. "I don't have anything to say, sorry."
Then some bodyguards came, telling the reporters to leave.
…
In a village in the north of Huyang City, there was a shabby noodle shop.
Gloria sat at a table with a steaming bowl of egg noodles, looking up at the television news.
"A villa on the hillside in the city caught fire at noon today. According to reliable sources, this villa was owned by Kenny, heir to the Clarke's Group..."
Next, the television scene was that some reporters were interviewing and reporting at the stage of the burned villa.
On the television, Gloria saw that the once beautiful and luxurious villa had burned to the ground.
Shi Ye appeared on television.
Even Shi Ye, who always wore a suit and tie, now was a little messy.
Gloria guessed that Shi Ye probably had taken people to the villa to look for her, which was why he looked so messy.
"I don't have anything to say, sorry." Shi Ye said coldly, ignoring sharp questions from the reporters.
Kenny didn't have a subordinate who wasn't capable, while Shi Ye was not just a special assistant, as he was also much more capable than a special assistant.
The owner of the noodle shop was middle-aged.
When he saw that Gloria was watching the news, he sat aside, saying. "Rich people just have a lot of conflicts. I hear she's in her early twenties, and my daughter, who is in college, is about this age. Oh, what a pity..."
When Gloria heard this, she reached out her hand, pulling down the brim of her cap slightly. She picked up her chopsticks and began to eat her noodles.
She said carelessly. "I heard someone on TV say that this woman committed suicide because she felt guilty."
The shopkeeper then naturally said to her. "What a terrible crime did she commit? Why did she decide to commit suicide because she felt guilty? Do you refer to the matter that Richard was pushed down the stairs? I heard that Richard wasn't dead, so in this case, even if she had to go to prison, she would not be in prison for a long time."
Gloria took a bite of her noodles, and she said, stirring the noodles with her chopsticks. "Not really, because what if Clarke's members don't feel satisfied by keeping her in jail for only a few years? And Clarke's power is so great that this woman's fate is still entirely decided by Clarke's members."
"They can't be so hard on her, because after all, she's Mr. Clarke's wife..."
Gloria laughed bitterly, saying nothing.
After Gloria finished her meal, she took a box out of her handbag.
It was the box that Kenny cared so much about; and there was a pen in the box, while he kept it locked in the drawer all the time.
Seldom had she seen Kenny care so much about a thing, so when she went upstairs to fill all the rooms with gas, she thought for a moment, and as she could not bear to have it burned, she took it out.
The combination to open the safe was simple, too, because it had something to do with Kenny's birthday, so she easily opened the safe.
Gloria smiled, handing the shopkeeper the money. "Excuse me; I'll pay now."
The shopkeeper took the money. "Well, wait for me to give you your change."
Next to the noodle shop was the post office.
Gloria took the box, walking over to the post office. "I need to mail something."
She saw the store filled with mail packages, while the shopkeeper didn't look up. "where do you want to mail?"
Gloria said slowly. "In the same city, that is Sheng Ding Media."
"Ten dollars." The shopkeeper looked at the box in Gloria's hands, and then he handed the express waybill to her.
Gloria packed the box, wrote "Carl" in the "to" line, and finally added "XN" to the "to" line.
"XN" looked so unremarkable that people couldn't see it without looking at this mail package carefully.
She set fire to the villa, not to make people think she had killed herself, but to escape.
Kenny was too clever to think she was dead, like the others.
So she had nothing to hide from him.
It's just that she's going to figure out how to avoid Kenny.
Kenny would send someone to look for her.
The case involving Richard would be put on hold because she disappeared because of the fire.
Everything was going well, as it's all in her plan.
It's just...
Gloria reached out, touching her belly.
The child in her belly had spoiled her plan.
She's not pregnant for a long time now, and she wore thick clothes in the winter, so it's not obvious that she's pregnant.
But in a few months, when her belly got big because of pregnancy, she would be very inconvenient to do anything.
What she had to do now was to leave Huyang City so that Kenny couldn't find her.
She was not sure she would escape from Kenny's search, but she couldn't go back since she had taken the first step
