DGSE’s top brass, Benjaave her three days, and today was the last day She did not kno she was to face Benjamin A person had been lost under her watch, and she could not help but feel depressed every tiht of this
Bzz, bzz, bzz
The phone on the desk suddenly began to vibrate
Jacqueline Eva walked to the desk and picked up the phone The number on the phone screen was a very normal local number She hesitated, then swiped to accept the call She asked, “Who is this?”
“Is this Miss Jacqueline Eva?” asked a man’s voice
“This is she” Jacqueline Eva became alert “Who are you?”
“Oh, I aistics Company…”
Jacqueline Eva’s broere already knotted “I do not have time to chat with you”
“Wait,” said the man “A certain Mister told me to call you”
“A Mister?”
“He is Chinese,” said the man “I met him on the street, and he was in a terrible condition…”
Jacqueline Eva hurriedly interrupted, “Did he tell you his name?”
“Xia Lei,” said the man “This name is sure hard to say”
Jacqueline Eva’s heart almost jumped out of her chest when she heard Xia Lei’s name She said in excitement, “Quick! Give the phone to him, let him talk to me!”
“That cannot do,” said thein my car now He said that if I call you and send hiive me ten thousand euros, is that true?”
This seemed to be the real reason this driver called Jacqueline Eva
“No problem,” said Jacqueline Eva “But I need to understand the situation first Tell ht now?”
“I was driving out of Paris this rass on the roadside with his body covered in blood I thought he was dead but right when I was about to call the police, he woke up and asked for ht hiive ive you ten thousand euros, so stopit Tell me, are his wounds serious?”
“It looks serious but he is very strong He should be fine I suggested that he go to the hospital but he rejected the idea Okay, where are you? I will take hiht for a moment and then said, “Where are you?”
“I am at the petrol station by Road 13, in the east of Paris”
“Stay there and do not ht there”
“Ten thousand…”
Jacqueline Eva had already hung up She did not want to hear the words “ten thousand euros” mentioned anymore She picked up the phone on the desk and dialled a number with practiced ease “Prepare two helicopters!”
Meanwhile, at the petrol station in the east of Paris, Xia Lei lay in the car and stopped using his X-ray vision He had seen the entire process of the French driver’s call to Jacqueline Eva He had not needed to read his lips to understand his words, because that ht, he had come back to France frohts Hospitaller What was difficult was to explain his “escape” to Jacqueline Eva, since he did do a self-directed act of kidnapping
The French driver got in the car and looked at Xia Lei, as lying on the car seat
Xia Lei closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep
The French driver reached out his hand and prodded at Xia Lei’s shoulder “Hey, my friend, the woman named Jacqueline Eva told me to wait here I want to send you back but she did not even tell me the address”
Xia Lei opened his eyes He seemed very weak “It’s okay, we can just wait here”
“Then… Will she give ive it to you, I will,” said Xia Lei This guy uttered “ten thousand euros” every two minutes; Xia Lei was already annoyed
