"I've always had a bad feeling, Anne." Emily sighed deeply.
Anne smiled gently at her friend and patted her on the shoulder. "Don't you think that what Kevin and I
went through is worse than what you're currently dealing with? But look, everything got sorted out in
the end," she said.
Emily nodded her head, smiling bitterly at that. Indeed, the challenges that they were currently facing
were nothing compared to what Anne and Kevin went through.
At the very least, they didn't have to get separated. Likewise, their lives were not at all in danger.
But when Sam and Kevin finally arrived at the house according to the address given to them, there was
nobody inside.
The neighbor said that the family who lived there had gone on a trip a few days ago. They had just left.
"The trip was probably just an excuse. They definitely had escaped," Kevin said with a sneer.
Sam nodded his head. He pulled out his phone and tried several times to get in touch with Nelson Li.
Indeed, it was Nelson Li they were looking for. Sam was usually strict when it came to the drug
administration. If there was anyone else who had access to the drug, it would be Nelson Li.
After several phone calls, Sam finally received a shocking news. Nelson Li and his entire family had
just gotten into a car accident!
Sam and Kevin looked at each other. Then, without any delay, they immediately went to the place
where the accident happened.
When they arrived, the ambulance was already there, carrying out emergency rescue. There were two
people covered with white cloth, lying on the ground.
They already knew what that white cloth meant.
Frowning, Sam lifted the white cloth and peered underneath. He then looked up at Kevin, who lowered
his eyes solemnly in turn.
Two people had died in the accident. One was Nelson Li, and the other was his five-year-old son!
At such a young age, his son died on the spot. The only one who survived the entire ordeal was his
wife.
"They were hit by such a large truck. The impact was terrible, but the truck driver was only injured
slightly. On the other hand, Nelson Li's family wasn't so lucky." The policeman shook his head and
sighed.
"How could this possibly happen?" Kevin asked the police.
"The truck driver was already exhausted while driving. Meanwhile, Nelson Li was driving very fast. It
was just too late when they realized that they were about to collide." Again, the policeman could only
shake his head and looked at the child's corpse with pity. "Poor kid. His life had already ended before
he could even grow up."
'Poor?'
Sam's face hardened at that. 'Perhaps he is pitiful, but it's all his father's fault. He shouldn't have done
something dangerous that could have implicated his own son!'
"Look over there," Kevin suddenly whispered in a low voice.
Sam raised his head to look at where Kevin was referring to. The expression on his face abruptly
changed when he saw a tall figure standing in the distance. They could already recognize who that
figure was. It was Kim, their worst nightmare!
They could hardly believe that Kim just happened to be passing by!
Such coincidence was too unbelievable.
The two of them nodded before approaching Kim. In Sam's heart, he suspected Kim. Nonetheless, he
couldn't be too sure about his suspicion. For now, all he could think about was that Kim was the one
who instructed Nelson Li to do what he did.
Kevin and Anne did say that what they knew about Kim was only the tip of the iceberg. His real power
was still a mystery. There was probably a strong medical team supporting him at the background. How
else could he inject that drug into Anne?
Likewise, who else was capable of doing this other than Kim?
Kim watched them calmly as they approached. He only raised his eyebrows and grinned. He then
threw his cigarette butt on the ground and gently stepped on it with the tip of his shoe.
"I heard that you got injured, Sam. How are you doing now? You should take better care of yourself.
After all, our brain is very vulnerable compared to other parts of our body." He let out a somewhat
sarcastic laugh. There seemed to be a warning hidden beneath it.
Kevin frowned, wondering why Kim had suddenly shifted his focus on Sam instead.
'Is this really because of me and Anne? Or did Sam unintentionally do something to trouble Kim?'
"Why are you looking at me like that, Mr. Kevin?" Kim then turned around to meet Kevin's eyes. He still
had the same smile on his face.
"Do you really think that life is that worthless?" Kevin asked. His voice could barely restrain his fury.
"If you really want to get even with me, then just target me. Why do you have to drag others into this?
You've already killed five people in the past few days alone!" Kevin stepped forward, forcing Kim to
step back. "Peter told me that you followed in the footsteps of your father, and that is why you are on
this path now. But I want to ask you this. Are your dreams not haunted by the ghosts of the people
you've killed?"
Kim merely sneered and shook his head. Suddenly, he laughed out loud. It was as if Kevin had said
something funny instead.
When Kim's laughter died down, he and Kevin just stood there silently. He gave Kevin a thumbs-up and
said, "We're not living in the ancient times anymore, Kevin. Why would you still believe in ghost
stories?
To be honest, I was a little worried at first. But then, I see how technology is so advanced now. Even if I
want to believe in ghosts, everyone tells me that they don't exist. And they are right. Ghosts aren't real,
so I don't dream of them at all!"
"Kevin, it's no use talking to this guy. He has already sold his soul to the devil." Sam frowned and then
said to Kim, "If you insist on taking other people's lives, then come to me. Stop implicating innocent
people again!"
Kim spread out his hands and pretended to look innocent. "Mr. Sam, Mr. Kevin, what are you talking
about here? Aren't you just talking about ghosts a while ago? What do you mean by taking people's
life? You're being weird. Your words don't make sense at all. I'm afraid I can't follow what you're saying!
Could it be that you have already forgotten the news from the police? There is a person out there who
looks exactly like Kim. His name is Cory, the new CEO of the AS Group!
And that's me. I'm Cory, not Kim. Whatever Kim did has nothing to do with me at all. You can't just fling
accusations at me because I have the same face as him. Otherwise, I will have to sue you!"
He then shook his head gently and continued, "It's rare to meet such a generous person like me in this
world. Hence, you must be careful with what you say in the future.
After all, everyone has a line in the sand."
Sam and Kevin could only frown and grit their teeth. It seemed like Kim wasn't afraid at all.
"You better make sure that you guard your secret close. Or else, we will find a way to expose you."
Kevin snorted and left with Sam.
Meanwhile, Sam could only grit his teeth and said, "Just looking at his face makes me want to tear him
apart!"
"I hate him more than you do," Kevin said gloomily.
Kim had imprisoned Anne and his children for so long. Kevin couldn't help but let his anger pile up in
his heart. He was the one who really wanted to tear Kim apart!
However, Kim was just too cunning. Even though he had done so many illegal things, he could always
change his identity and start all over again.
This made it all the more unacceptable!
How could someone in this world just change his or her identity and start all over again after committing
murder and breaking the law?
If he committed a crime, he should pay for it!
"Justice will prevail. I'm confident that we can catch Kim and send him to prison!" Kevin tightened his
grip on the steering wheel, feeling determined.
Sam sighed heavily, not bothering to say anything else. He also believed that they could eventually
send Kim to prison. But the road ahead would be difficult.
At the moment, they still didn't know what Kim was really capable of. They also had no idea what he
was planning. Even though they now knew where their enemy was, there was nothing they could do to
fight him. They felt depressed just thinking about this.
Kevin had always been labeled as the most powerful man in A City, but that wasn't the truth. After all,
Kim wouldn't be here at all if that was the case.
Recently, Kim's AS Group had been growing rapidly. Of course, Kevin couldn't allow him to grow
stronger, so he tried stopping him.
In the past, all of Kevin's clients used to respect and listen to him. But now, they would rather offend
him than lose their partnership with Kim.
This only meant
that something was definitely not right.
Moreover, Sam was getting worried about themselves. He had a feeling that they would end up getting
jailed themselves before they could send Kim to prison.
After returning home, Kevin could only look at Anne and shake his head slightly. Upon seeing this,
Anne lowered her eyes.
The news that a tremendous devastating car accident happened had already spread around the city.
While reading the news, Anne knew it was the one that involved Nelson Li.
As she thought of it, there was only one person capable of doing such a thing in A City. He was the
only one who was skillful enough to get away with it without evidence. And it was Kim!
'What on earth does Kim want from Sam? Why is he hurting him like this?'
"Back then, Sam protected me when I went to see Simon. Kim had probably seen him then. But if he
really wanted to take revenge on Sam, he should have done it that time. Why just now?" Lately, Kevin's
company was also facing a turmoil. It followed right after the death in Sam's hospital. Anne couldn't
help but feel a bit wary.
Unable to answer any of Anne's questions, Kevin only shook his head.
"I might not know what Kim is planning, but I have a feeling that if he succeeds, we will probably..." His
voice abruptly trailed off. He only raised his head to look at Anne worriedly. There was a deep crease
on his forehead.
Anne sighed, sounding defeated. Kevin's worry was exactly what she was anxious about.
It was then that Selma went downstairs. She immediately sensed their gloomy atmosphere, so she
frowned and snorted. "Kim might be powerful and dangerous, but our Fu Family has been in A City for
so many years. We won't be defeated that easily. At worst, we will simply have to fight him to the death.
Nobody can ever take advantage of us!"
Anne and Kevin turned to look at Selma, who now poured out a glass of red wine and drank it all up.
She then slammed the empty glass on the table and said, "The reason why Kim dares to do all these
things is because he has nothing more to lose!"
With that, Selma turned around and left. She didn't even bother looking back at her son and her
daughter-in-law.
Upon hearing Selma's words, Anne and Kevin looked at each other and nodded. Selma was right.
Kevin was absolutely capable of doing anything he wanted in A City, but he was still a law-abiding
citizen. Meanwhile, Kim was capable of doing all kinds of evil things to get what he wanted. This was
the fundamental difference between the two of them. This was also why Kevin was at a disadvantage.
From beginning to the end, Kim was the one who kept making the first move. All they did was react to
it. They never once tried to provoke Kim at all!
"Thinking about it now, we really are cowards." Kevin rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers before
turning to look at Anne.
Anne didn't say anything, but she looked down instead. Maybe they shouldn't care about other things
too much that when dealing with a despicable man like Kim.
Otherwise, they would end up doing exactly what Kim wanted them to do.
This was definitely not what they wanted!
"We should probably sleep for now. And tomorrow, we should come up with a good plan. We can't let
Kim play us around like this all the time. We've been too passive." Kevin then stood up and stretched
out his hand to Anne.
