"Hey, guys, do you have cigarettes with you?" After taking two mouthfuls of grass, Arthur couldn't help
but ask.
Recently, Lenny had been very strict with him. There would never be more than one cigarette in his
case. Usually, he didn't smoke as many as he wanted or he would borrow a few cigarettes from others.
But tonight, on such an occasion, he couldn't suppress himself.
Martin and the others seldom smoked. As Moore had just grown up, he was rebellious and didn't dare
to go against his father openly. Even if he had hidden something, he didn't dare to take it out.
After a moment of silence, Arthur slowly stood up from the chair and was about to go downstairs to buy
a pack of cigarette.
Lenny's eyes were like poisoned knives, gently glancing at him. Noticing that, Arthur stopped in a
second and coughed with a little guilt. "Well, I'll go to see the others. I'll be back soon."
It was not easy for him to recall his subordinates at this critical moment.
Cassandra patted on Lenny's shoulder sympathetically and pointed out what he was thinking. She said
in a low voice, "Look, this is the weakness of a man. Before he got you, he was obedient to you, and
after that, he began to act against the rules every now and them. Lenny, you should be careful. Maybe
Mr. Arthur will meet one of his old acquaintances now. "
Lenny snapped," Leave me alone! "
Cassandra raised her eyebrows, picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Lenny, "Come on. I'll stay
with you tonight!"
With two little blue veins on his forehead, Lenny turned to look at Martin and accused him silently,
'Can't you just watch your wife?'
Sitting on the sofa in a casual posture, Martin looked at the night sky in the distance and ignored
Lenny. Lenny was furious, but he could do nothing to Cassandra.
What had he done wrong in his previous life to get this punishment!
The scale of the town was not big, and usually few people came here. Because of the fireworks
festival, the number of tourists suddenly increased, so that even at night, it was still noisy and not
peaceful at all.
When Arthur came out of the hotel, the night wind blew over, and a chill slowly climbed up his back. He
walked towards a snack shop by the light of the street lamp.
The shop owner was a peaceful middle-aged man, who was sitting behind the counter and watching an
old TV series. Arthur took a glance at the middle-aged man and found that he was actually watching
the drama called "The Return Of Princess", which had been popular all over the country.
Arthur took a pack of cigarettes and some lollipops. "Boss, how much is it?"
The owner glanced at the things on the table and said a price with a smile. Arthur took out his wallet
and suddenly saw a familiar figure from the mirror behind the owner. His hand holding the wallet
paused and he almost thought that he was wrong. When he wanted to give a good look, the person
had already got on a car.
Arthur's face darkened all of a sudden. He took out a bill and put it on the cashier's desk. He grabbed
the cigarettes and the lollipops in a hurry, and two lollipops fell on the ground because of his hasty
action.
The owner stood up from the cashier's desk and said, "Hey, young man, I haven't given you the
changes!"
The owner's voice, with the midnight wind, disappeared in the night.
After running about half a kilometer, Arthur stopped, panting. He quickly took out his phone and dialed
Bettina's number. The phone rang twice before she answered it.
"Tut tut. A moment of sex is invaluable, Boss Don't you feel a little..."
"Shut up!" Arthur wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, but his sharp eyes were still fixed on the car's
tail light, which was about to disappear in the street. His hoarse voice was a little trembling, "Notify the
people to close the high-speed entrances right away. The national highway should also be blocked with
roadblocks. Focus on a black TOYOTA cross-country car. The license plate is... BKV626, understand?
"
"Yes, Boss. I'll arrange it right away!"
"I'll be right there. Besides, don't act rashly after the car is intercepted. Wait for me!" said Arthur, who
finally stopped panting.
"Yes, Boss."
After hanging up the phone, Arthur took a few steps back out of inertia, leaning against a big tree and
panting heavily. Then he strode towards the temporary station they had set up.
As he walked, he called Lenny. He had been out for a long time, and he had to find a reason not to
disturb Lenny and others. Otherwise, the situation would become more and more serious and the
incident would be out of control.
When the phone was connected, Lenny lowered his voice, "Hello?"
Arthur forced a smile and said, "Honey, something happened over here. Several tourists were drunk
and fought with each other. I'll have a look before coming back. After all, I came out on duty."
Holding the phone in his hand, Lenny kept silent for two seconds. "Even if they really fight, it's just a
group fight at most. Such a case is worthy of Mr. Arthur's personal help."
When Lenny was angry, he spoke with sarcasm. He didn't realize that what he had just said was
revealing his true feelings.
If it was in normal times, Arthur would tease him back. After all, men liked to see their loved ones
jealous for them, even for some inexplicable reasons.
But tonight, there was only a nameless agitation rising from the bottom of Arthur's heart. He raised his
hand to press his temples and said in a hoarse voice, "As I said, this is business... Hello? Damn it!
Hang up the phone? This... "
Arthur grabbed the phone and stopped at the moment when he smashed it. He cursed in a low voice,
put the phone into his pocket and sped up.
Somehow, he became more and more uneasy, as if something would happen tonight. The figure he
saw at the door of the shop just now kept flashing through his mind.
Damn!
What the hell was going on?
Arthur shook his head and tried not to think too much. Maybe it was just a coincidence, or perhaps the
person appeared here was just for an ordinary thing.
Arthur walked quickly to the temporary police station. Under a simple tent, more than a dozen people
were busy. When Bettina picked up her phone and was about to call Arthur, she saw him coming in like
a ghost.
“…… Boss, what's going on? Do you want to scare me to death? " Bettina's hand trembled, and the
phone almost slipped out of her hand.
Arthur glanced at her and asked, "Have you stopped the car?"
"I was about to call you to talk about this," said Bettina with a straight face. "The comrades worked
extremely hard and found that suspicious car by the river, but..."
