Chapter 17 Uncle John (2/2)
is ears.
”Nonsense!” John couldn't help but loudly shout out in denial, trying to hide his embarrassment.
James became more confused and asked himself, 'Did I say something wrong?'
John threw away the half cigarette in his hand in disgust and continued with his probing. ”What about Nina?”
”Huh? Who is Nina?” James got even more confused than he already was.
Jason, who was quietly watching the show in the corner, was stunned. Suddenly, he remembered the girl who had hit John just now. Wasn't Nina the favored student of Professor Gu from the psychology department?
Professor Gu was a famous figure in the city and had made a name for himself. He led a group of the most outstanding students who made a lot of contributions to the police station by helping them solve crimes. Afterwards, these talents would be selected by various major cities and become indispensable members of the criminal investigation department. Nina, being his youngest student, was still in college.
Although she was still a student and was very young, Professor Gu preferred her the most. He would boast that she was gifted and if given the right teachings, she would definitely become an exceptional talent.
Another reason why Jason remembered Nina was also because of the recent headlines on the campus forum not so long ago.
Was it possible that the person who Nina sold her body to was none other than John himself?
But John didn't seem to be the kind of person who would give money in exchange for that.
Jason tried to collect all the information on his mind, but he still couldn't figure out how each dot was connected. There was nothing more he could do but wait and see, then.
”Uncle John, what Nina are you talking about? Who is she? The woman I sent you is named Frances, and she is 25 years old. I have made a background check on her. She is a virgin, but she is not a student.”
”Frances? And she is not a student?” John frowned in concentration and tried to carefully think about the events of that day. He realized that something was wrong.
At the thought of Nina giving him a beating, John couldn't help but roll his eyes in frustration. He repeatedly shook his head and tried to drive her image out of his mind. In a flash, he quickly changed the topic, ”Then, explain what happened today. They said they were here to catch a man in the act of having an affair.” John's frown deepened. He clearly heard what they were saying at that time. Nina was dragged here to catch a man in the act of adultery. ”Which girl have you cheated on recently?”
”What? There are so many girls around me. How will I know who that girl was?”
”You...” John stood up in anger, with every intent of slapping James to death. Contrary to his initial reaction, he tried to calm down and took a deep breath to suppress his anger. ”The girl said she had known you through video chat.”
James quickly recalled who she was. There was a time when he was extremely bored and hooked up with a girl on the Internet. She was a sophomore in L University. He didn't expect that his foolishness would bring him nothing but disaster.
It was true that a love affair should never be taken lightly. One needed to be cautious, even if it was just a virtual relationship on the Internet.
”Uncle John, I will fix this and take care of it. I'll be leaving now,” James announced as he planned his escape. He turned around and was ready to leave. He really didn't want to stay in this place for even a second longer.
”Has anyone allowed you to leave?” John hadn't said yet that James could leave after he had explained everything.
James felt as if a group of crows flew over him, shrouding him in darkness. He obediently stepped back and stood respectfully while awaiting another brewing storm.
He was, after all, still too young and was simply naive.
”Uncle John, what else can I do for you?” At that time, James gathered his guts to smile apologetically. His heart, in actual fact, was very cold and terrified.
With a cunning smirk, John coerced him, ”Go to the L University at eight o'clock tomorrow morning and attend classes.”
”What?” James exclaimed. His heart sank to the bottom of the sea in despair.
”I'll have all your credit cards cut off and I'll only give you three thousand as living expenses every month.”
With every word John uttered in a slow and orderly tone, James felt as if he was sentenced to life imprisonment instead!
James found it hard to accept his fate and was about to faint helplessly on the spot.
