Chapter 140 - Mission Swap (2/2)

The woman looked into his eyes lovingly with satisfaction.

”If this is how it'll be every day, then life's pretty good,” Jackson smiled.

Halia glanced away shyly.

She also thought the same.

At that moment, some footsteps could suddenly be heard in the bathroom. Someone else had entered.

Halia quickly looked at Jackson in a panic and Jackson gestured for her to remain calm.

The footsteps entered the cubicle next door and they heard the door shut.

But, just as they were about the sneak out before being discovered. They suddenly heard a tapping sound on the cubicle wall.

It was Morse code: 'are you done yet?'

They then heard a slight giggle.

Jackson immediately recognized the voice. It was Amelie.

”What are you doing in here?” he asked.

”I just got connected to Alexander in France and he's currently waiting on the phone for you,” Amelie explained. ”I didn't mean to disturb, but I'm sure you know how important this is.”

Jackson quickly turned to Halia and told her briefly that Rawson was his old boss in Shanghai and was also the godfather of Carol Pang. He also revealed that Rawson had asked him to partake in some illegal money laundering.

Halia was surprised by how direct the old man was.

”Isn't he worried that you'd cause trouble if you knew what he was doing?” she asked.

”No, he knows I wouldn't. The gangs deal with traitors in harsher ways​ than you can imagine. If I was to leak a word, you would probably find my dead body floating down the Zhuhai River tomorrow.”

At that moment, Halia received a message from Emerson: [my parents would like to have dinner with you again tonight. Are you free?]

Halia glanced at Jackson. He was providing her with so much useful information regarding the money laundering. The least she could do was interrogate his family a little too see if she could find the culprit that tried to kill him and his mother. So, she quickly replied to Emerson and agreed to meet him for dinner.

If Everett and Carol didn't want to kill Jackson, then there were only 5 people left on their suspect list: Jackson's father, Emerson, Emerson's mother, Auntie Lily and Jaclyn.

It was funny how things turned out. The couple didn't notice, but their aim to help each other somehow made them swap missions.
