Polly's mind went blank for a while. She still couldn't figure out what Hal meant.
What did he mean by that? He seemed to disappear? How could a living person disappear? Besides,
he is not someone else. He is the famous Bruce he! Bruce he, the boss of the BA group!
Not to mention his noble identity, as long as he was a Chinese citizen with a name, even if he was very
insignificant, it was impossible for him to disappear without letting out any news.
Rachel, Jake and Bruce's mother, these three men looked like nothing had happened? If there is a
distance relationship, what about his mother? How could she not worry about her son when he
disappeared?
The case must be suspicious. No matter how powerful the intelligence network of the Xia clan was,
there might still be some loopholes.
"Dear Polly. I'm sorry. I must apologize to you first. I have hided something from you." The more Hal
said, the lower his voice became. "I know that Avril is in the JC Island, and so is you, but it's very late to
know that. However, Avril was still on the JC Island, but Bruce was not there. Or he is still on the JC
Island, but he doesn't know where he is. "
A glimmer of hope was rekindled in her heart. "You mean that Bruce is still in the JC Island at present?
He has never left? "
Having been accustomed to the darkness, she could now see clearly the expression on Hal's face. It
seemed that he could not adapt to her gaze. He turned his head slightly to avoid the edge.
"Not necessarily."
"What do you mean by that?!" "What's wrong with him?"
Hearing that, Hal lowered his eyelids and looked melancholy, which looked like the stream of sky in a
rainy season. "Dear Polly, don't be excited. To be honest, I really didn't know. I can only say that no one
has ever seen him leave the JC Island. However, no one had seen him on the island. The day you
come back, he disappeared. "
"I didn't mean to chase you. In the past, I had been paying close attention to you because of Avril, so I
was very clear about your movements in the past few days."
Speaking of this, the light in Hal's eyes suddenly became hot, "Dear Polly, I care about you very much.
But the JC Island is heavily guarded. I can't get in. What's more, the situation in Nancy's grandfather's
side is very serious. I can't get rid of it at all. In those days, I was too busy to eat or sleep... "
That was to say, he already knew. This guy was really good at faking. In fact, no one was as simple as
he looked. The more easygoing he was. As a matter of fact, it was easy for her to understand that he
was a highly intelligent and brain man with a strong family background. He was neither arrogant nor
rash, making everyone think he is somebody even though he is only a common A University.
"I was not a real person when you called me! I haven't had a shower for days, I haven't had a full
haircut, I haven't had a shave, just like the captain, hehe... "
Even now, he was still in a state of indifference. Cheekbones were protruding out of his cheeks. His
chin was so sharp that it seemed to penetrate through the long hand under her body. The man was so
thin that he was about to be deformed.
But that was his way of doing things. He was always in low spirit and couldn't get enough sleep.
Moreover, a man wouldn't be a fleshy man if he had to eat food alone. He had been laughed at by
Janet and Mandy many times as if he was a waste of country food. So when they met each other, he
didn't show any special emotions on his face.
"Later, I heard that Owen had picked you up from the JC Island. When I was sure that you were fine, I
was relieved. Well, it was at that time that I got no information about Bruce. I think there are two
possibilities. One is that he is most likely imprisoned by Simon. Secondly, he had been taken to
somewhere else by Simon. I don't know what kind of transportation it is used, when and by which way
it left. "
Polly's heart was bouncing wildly without any rhythm. Her heart was suffering from extreme tremble, so
that her brain lost the ability to think. She blurted out, "which one is right?"
He lowered his head and murmured, "maybe Do you know what has happened between them? "
"I don't know the details. It's probably because of Ellie. It seems that her death has something to do
with Bruce."
"So it is."
In fact, he had some proof. With Simon's cruel and abnormal nature, it was most likely that both of
them were. First he would put Bruce in captivity, then he would take him somewhere else to torture him
as much as he could.
He did this to show that there was a deep hatred between them, but he didn't expect that it was due to
Ellie.
"Hal, do you know how did Ellie die? Is it really because of Bruce? "
"Well, I can only get the official record of the accident. As for the real situation, it has been over for so
many years. It's not easy to get to the bottom of it."
Such a mysterious matter as the love between the debutantes and debutantes of wealthy families. No
matter how sensational it was throughout the country, only several people could know about the
situation. Ellie died at a very young age, and those who had been involved in the past were all of the
most famous people.
No one would remember that they had nothing to do with it. The past was something that could not be
tested. Even if he knew it, it was useless. For the moment, Simon still had to deal with Bruce.
"But, you can rest assured that I will continue investigating. After all, Bruce was the boss of the
multinational financial group. He would not do anything excessive even if Simon hated him so much.
What was his purpose? He would not delay it for long. And before long, Bruce will appear in public
again. "
'it's not that serious, ' he thought. If he wanted that, he wouldn't have waited till now. And he wouldn't
have asked Dear Polly and Jean.
"Dear Polly, you just said that Bruce and Jean had gone to the South Seaside. Where did you get the
news?"
She almost forgot that. After a careful reminder, she realized that it was very strange. But considering
the relationship between Hal and Rachel, she hesitated and didn't know what to say.
Hal had a sharp mind and an unusually smart brain. He could immediately guess after seeing her
reaction. With disdain and sarcasm written all over his face, he asked, "did Rachel tell you?"
"How do you know?" "What are you doing here?".
"Who is Jean? She was the apple of everyone's eye, confident and arrogant. If you want to know her
relationship with Bruce, you can only show off their love in all kinds of ways through media or Internet,
instead of telling you in person. But there was no news on the Internet that she had gone to South with
Mr. He. Then there was only one possibility. Rachel is her accomplice, a competent assistant, right?
Rachel told you. "
"Hal, don't say that. She did tell me honestly. But when did she become an accomplice of Jean? " Polly
knew that Hal wouldn't say something nice when he heard of Rachel.
Then, he turned to look at Polly and said arrogantly, "Dear Polly, you are too naive to understand
human feelings. You think yourself a good friend, but she doesn't. Do you think she's on good terms
with you or Jean? Do you know how many times you see her a week and how many times she and
Jean meet with each other? "
"But she's only grateful to Jean. She wants to stay in the BA group in the future, so it's inevitable that
she wants to get close to Jean. In fact, it's because of the mother of Bruce." Polly was confused.
"What did you talk about?"
Flustered and flustered, many thoughts flashed in her mind at that moment, but none of them could be
caught. She explained hastily, "Jean Fang is trying to please his mother, while Rachel is the adopted
daughter of his mother. Because of his mother, they have more chances to meet each other."
"Dear Polly? What do you mean? Are both Rachel and Jean trying to play up to his mother? They all
attach importance to their own goal! "
"No! Not everyone is like what you think! " Polly suddenly raised her voice, and she stepped back with
a thud against the back of the chair, "but, she, she is my good friend! I know her well. She is not that
kind of person! "
Although he said so, the tone was not so firm.
The depressed atmosphere quickly filled the entire car. After a long silence, Hal said faintly, "I hope so.
You'd better keep a distance from her. I just want to remind you that you should be cautious of her. "
Along the way, Polly kept looking out of the window at the trees that were retreating fast behind the car,
trying to distract his attention by view. Even though she was suffering, she insisted not calling Rachel.
Back to the school, she almost ran back to the dorm. As soon as she entered, she dialed her number.
But to her surprise, she hit someone on the head. "Ouch!" the man cried out in pain.
"I'm sorry." She apologized immediately. But when she saw the man's face, she was surprised and
said, "Oh.".
The woman she bumped into was Rachel Du!
At the same time, a familiar melody rang out. It was her call to Rachel.
"Dear Polly, what's wrong with you?" Without looking at her, she lowered her head and pulled out her
phone from her bag. "You called me? Well, you didn't expect me to come to you, did you? What a
coincidence! "
What a coincidence! When she was about to find this woman, she was in her dormitory.
Polly glanced at the bed. Fiona should be in the classroom at this time since she was not there. She
remembered there were two missed calls and unread messages on her phone.
She had been in a hurry to call Rachel, and had failed to notice it. She took out her phone and
unlocked it. She found there was a missed call from Fiona and the text was from her.
Your friend, Rachel Du, came to find you. I asked her to wait for you in the dorm.
Perhaps the phone call didn't get through, so Fiona sent her a message. She looked at the time. It was
half an hour ago. That was to say when she and Hal went down the mountain.
"Dear Polly. I have something important to tell you." With a solemn look on his face, Rachel carefully
observed her facial expressions and said, "I didn't want you to worry about me, so I kept it from you all
the time. In fact, she didn't see Bruce. He... He is missing. "
