Chapter 618 Water and Fire (2/2)

Li Du hurriedly said, ”Don't panic, don't panic. I am alright. I safely escaped but have to stay here to assist the police in solving the case…”

He had not finished his words before Sophie said, ”Alright, I will accompany you!”

Li Du smiled. ”Why would you come and accompany me? Accompanying Thomas for his birthday will do…”

The call was hung up before he could finish his words. In the end, it was self-explanatory.

The impression Sophie gave him was always one that was gentle. This was the first time he saw her being so rash and panicky.

After about 20 minutes, Rose called him.

Li Du curiously picked up the call before Rose asked, ”You were kidnapped? And escaped?”

”Uh, how did you know?” Mr. Li was dumbfounded.

Rose mumbled, ”I'm a police officer and our internal department would notify us of such news. I saw that a Chinese called Li Du was kidnapped in Las Vegas and guessed it could be you. In the end, I was unfortunately correct.”

What did she mean by unfortunately correct? Li Du was depressed by these two words. As he was not killed, was it appropriate to describe the situation using ”unfortunately?”

However, after thinking it through, being kidnapped was also unfortunate enough. Nonetheless, it seemed very amiss to him for such words to come out of Rose's mouth.

What was even more amiss was that it had been more than 24 hours since he was kidnapped and Rose only knew about this now? Moreover, she called just right after he had spoken to Sophie.

Thinking of it this way, he said suspiciously, ”What news from the internal department? It was Sophie who told you, right?”

Right after he finished speaking, Rose started laughing. ”Hahaha, you managed to guess it? Hahaha, you are really amazing and have great inferential skills. No wonder you could escape after being kidnapped by eight people.”

Li Du inquired, ”How did you know eight people kidnapped me?”

Rose replied, ”If your current intellect is the same as when you were kidnapped, you would be screwed. Obviously, I went to check on the case after Sophie told me the news.”

Li Du smiled bitterly. ”Alright, alright. What's your purpose for calling? How did Sophie inform you of this?”

Rose replied, ”That lady was anxiously on her way and met me while I was patrolling. I found out about the incident while taking her to her flight. Very coincidental, right?”

Li Du said, ”Indeed, it was very coincidental. Alright, I am fine. Thank you for your concern.”

In the end, Li Du was baffled when Rose, all of a sudden, became angry. ”I am not here to care for you, I am here to question you. Why did you not call me first after being kidnapped?”

Li Du helplessly replied ”Why should I call you? Can you fly over from Flagstaff to save me? What's more, I had already escaped when I got a phone.”

”Then you should have also let me know,” Rose said confidently.

”Would it do any good to let you know? For you to worry about me?”

Rose was momentarily speechless before she replied, ”No, as you are my tenant, I have to be responsible for your safety. I was also suspicious of you getting kidnapped, alright? Furthermore, if you died, it would be beneficial for me to rent out the house. I can't possibly let it go to waste being unoccupied…”

”You bit*h!” Li Du said indignantly.

Rose said, ”Just playing with you. Am I that kind of a person? No matter if you are dead or alive, my house belongs to you for the next year.”
