Chapter 377 - Who is after Aleksis? (1/2)

”Aleksis moved to Singapore to look for that person ...” Lauriel went on with a rather annoyed voice. He almost opened the wine, but then remembered that it was still too early to drink. Finally, he poured some more tea into his cup. ”The two new bodyguards might have been sent by Prince Siegfried. That is the only reasonable possibility ...”

Nicolae and Terry were both surprised. The two of them didn't expect that Lauriel would know so much, just based on his own observations!

Finally it was Terry who took the initiative to open a bottle of wine and pour a glass for himself. He felt somewhat pressured that he knew something but had to refrain from telling Lauriel about it.

”I want some, too,” Nicolae murmured, reaching out. Terry, who was no longer bitching at him, just nodded and poured a glass for Nicolae. Both look at each other with a meaningful look.

Terry realized that Nicolae knew something, and so did Nicolae realize the same thing about Terry.

”What's wrong with you guys?” Lauriel asked in confusion, ”It's only 12 o'clock.”

”It's almost one o'clock, Dad ... wine o'clock … get it?” Nicolae answered nonchalantly. He gulped down his wine then put on his shirt and signaled Terry to follow him. ”I want to meet Carl and Sascha to find the kidnappers from yesterday. Do you want to come along?”

Terry, who would not miss the opportunity to make an interesting documentary video about catching criminals, immediately nodded and went to follow Nicolae.

”Lauriel, we will go now.”

Lauriel nodded. Just as they were about to leave, Aleksis came with her dog and quickly chased after Nicolae.

”Nicolae, don't forget to fix my chip ...” she exclaimed.

Nicolae waved his hand and nodded before disappearing behind the door.

When they were in the elevator, Terry turned to Nicolae and asked, ”Have Carl and Sascha found them?”

”Almost. What is clear is that they have found the address of one of the criminals.” Nicolae looked at Terry with a probing look, ”I didn't expect that you would want to come.”

”Hey ... we're talking about people who wanted to lay hands on my sister! Of course I have to interfere,” Terry snorted.

Nicolae nodded. He was now convinced that Terry was very fond of his sister, even though he always looked indifferent toward her whenever they were together.

”My car or your car?” he asked, brandishing his keys.

”Your car ...” Terry said, smiling lazily. Of course if they used Nicolae's car, Terry wouldn't have to drive, and right now, he really wanted to relax.

Nicolae didn't mind, because after all he really liked driving. He opened the door and immediately started the car. Terry sat next to him and pulled out his camera.

”Who do you think has ill intentions toward Aleksis?” Terry asked on the way.

Nicolae put on his sunglasses and shook his head. ”I don't know. It could be one of the students on campus who is jealous of her, or her father's enemy. She was kidnapped and poisoned once before, right?”

”Where did you hear that from?” Terry asked in amazement. He didn't know that Nicolae already knew so much.

”From my father.”

”Hmmm ... I really can't guess who currently has bad intentions to Aleksis ... It could be anyone,” Terry then coughed. ”You seem to worry a lot about my sister ...”

”Of course, she is my father's favorite child. You also notice that my father loves her more than he loves me, and I am his flesh and blood. If anything happens to Aleksis, I do not want to imagine how my father would feel,” Nicolae replied with a shrug.

”You like Aleksis,” Terry said without hesitation. ”That's why you want to protect her.”

Nicolae did not reply. He did not need to argue, because even the blind could see his loving gaze every time his eyes swept at her.

”Do you know about Prince Siegfried?” Terry asked again.

Nicolae nodded, ”You also know that Aleksis already met Siegfried, and you hid it from father.”

Terry could only sigh, ”If it were up to me ... I'd rather have my sister be with you.”

For the first time in history, Nicolae turned to face Terry with a smile on his face.

”You have good taste,” he commented.

Terry rolled his eyes and looked away at the window. He was still not used to being friendly with Nicolae. He still needed time.

Both of them then remained silent for the rest of the trip. After they arrived in the East Coast area, Nicolae dialed a number on his phone and called Carl.

”Is the address still the same?”

”It's still the same, Sir ... but ...” Carl's voice sounded horrified.

”But what?” Nicolae asked impatiently.
