Brian also knew how serious the matter was. He quickly replied, “Mr. Han, we will get there thirteen minutes later, if we keep the fastest speed.”
It took an hour from the airport to the Pearl International Restaurant at a normal speed.
They had already driven for a while, and it would take at least forty minutes to get there.
Brian had tried his best to make it thirteen minutes.
After all, a car was not an airplane. No matter how excellent its performance was, it was impossible for it to fly over.
Obviously, Henry understood this matter. He tightened his lips and didn’t say anything.
At this moment, Michael Anderson received a phone call from his subordinate and frowned.
“I see. I’ll make it clear right now.”
After hanging up the phone, he called his son Steven first.
“Steven, are you at the Pearl International Restaurant today?”
Steven didn’t know what had happened. He asked in confusion, “Yes, what’s wrong?”
“Do you know who is in room 8828?”
“8828?” Steven was stunned, and then her eyes widened.
“I know. What happened?”
“You’d better go there and have a look. I don’t know what happened exactly, but the people there must be safe. Otherwise, the whole Anderson family will be ruined.”
Steven frowned with displeasure.
“Someone is threatening you? Who can be so powerful to threaten you?”
The cold voice of Michael then came from the other end of the line, “Is Henry Han powerful enough?”
Steven was speechless.
He suddenly thought of something and his expression changed.
“I’ll be right there.”
After hanging up the phone, Steven stood up without any words, took his clothes, and ran out.
However, before he even reached the door, he was stopped by Katya
“Steven, where are you going?”
Steven’s face darkened. “I have something to deal with. You and Miss Kawn just stay here to finish your dinner. I’ll be right back.”
Katya pouted and refused, “No! You promised that you would take us out for dinner. Why did you run away halfway? Brother, I did not mind when you did it in the past. But today is my birthday. You can’t leave no matter what you say.”
Steven said impatiently.
“I will come back as soon as possible. There seems to be something wrong in the room opposite. Zoe is still inside. I just want to go there to have a look. It’s only a few steps away. I’ll be back soon.”
Katya’s face changed slightly as she heard this.
She stood in front of the door more stubbornly, gritted her teeth and said, “No, you can’t go.”
Steven frowned and looked at Katya suspiciously.
“Kat, did you do something behind my back?”
Katya felt a little nervous.
She blinked her eyes and said imposingly. “No, I didn’t. I just don’t want you to find that woman. Steven, there are not only me here, but also Wanda. If you just go to look for that woman, what do you want Wanda to do? How can you do that?”
Wanda smiled awkwardly. “Katya, don’t say that…”
However, Katya just ignored her. The more she said, the more she felt wronged.
“Annie is still in the hospital and her baby is gone. It’s all that woman’s fault. You still protect her after she has done so much. Are you still a man?”
Steven frowned tightly.
After a while, he took a deep breath.
“Dad just called and said that Henry had threatened the Anderson family. I suspect that something has happened to Zoe.”
Wanda was stunned and her face changed slightly.
However, Katya got excited at once.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“What did you say? Henry threatened our family for that bitch? Why would he care about her so much? Is it worth it for him to do this to a dirty bitch?”
Steven’s face turned cold.
“Katya! What nonsense are you talking about?”
Katya was stunned.
“I haven’t done anything to Zoe for six years when I was her boyfriend. Dirty? What are you talking about? Who taught you to say these
words?”
“I…”
Wanda hurriedly stood up and grabbed Steven’s arm.
“Mr. Anderson, Katya was just talking nonsense. But I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to go there now.”
Steven frowned.
“Miss Kawn, even you choose to ignore her danger? Although her words are always sharp and cold, what if something really happens to her…”
The expression on Wanda’s face froze for a moment.
“I didn’t mean that. I just…”
Wanda leaned over and whispered in Steven’s ear.
Steven’s face changed a lot.
“Are you serious?”
Wanda nodded seriously.
“So, you can’t go there, at least for Annie. Can you understand?”
Steven didn’t say anything more after that.
…
There were no sounds from the opposite room.
Henry arrived ten minutes later.
The distance of at least thirteen minutes was shortened by three minutes by him.
Brian swore to himself that he had never driven so fast in his life. He stepped on the gas as hard as he could, and the car almost left the ground and flew up.
As soon as they entered the Pearl International Restaurant, a waiter greeted them
warmly.
“Sir, have you booked a room? Or…”
“Where is room 8828?”
The waiter looked at Henry’s sullen face and was stunned. He was a little nervous.
“Sir, what do you mean?”
“I asked you where room 8828 is.”
Henry’s eyes were as cold as ice. Brian shouted strictly, “Tell us! Now! You want to die?”
The waiter trembled and came to his senses.
“On the eighth floor. Then go straight to the left.”
Henry strode towards the elevator.
The elevator arrived soon. Before the door was closed, a hand suddenly blocked the door which was about to close.
“Wait!”
It was a group of people, all panting. When they saw Henry and Brian, they were shocked.
“Mr. Han, you are here.”
Henry stared at them coldly.
Everyone lowered their heads with guilt.
They were just the group of people Henry had ordered to go here on the phone when he was in the car. However, they were far away from here tonight and there was a traffic jam on the road. Therefore, they had run all the way here.
But they were still late.
Henry curled his lips and said coldly, “I’m afraid everything will already be done, if I only count on you guys.”
The group of people lowered their heads, like pupils being scolded.
“Mr. Han, sorry. We know our mistakes.”
Henry’s lips tightened slightly, but he didn’t say anything more.
When they arrived on the eighth floor, Henry took the lead and walked out, followed by the others.
The waiter didn’t recognize them. He was surprised to see a group of people rushing in aggressively.
A waiter came forward and asked, “Sir, what are you doing?”
“F**k off!”
Someone pushed him away and soon found room 8828.
The door was locked from inside, and there was a dead silence inside.
Henry stood at the door, gritting his teeth tightly. His handsome face at the moment was
as long as a fiddle that would break just any moment.
With a cold face, he said in his freezing cold voice, “Open the door for me.”
Seeing this, the rest of them already had a rough idea what had happened inside, and were all silent.
