The Luckiest Dumb Doctor - Chapter 118
Chapter 118: Chapter 118: The Great Earthquake of the Five Rivers_1
Chester Ware was kind-hearted, and as the wealthiest man in Riverhaven
County, his connections were terrifying.
How many of these wealthy individuals in Riverhaven County had not received
his favors?
Therefore, after receiving Greg Jensen’s call, he immediately made calls to his friends, asking them to help find clues.
When the tycoons learned that it was Mr. Jensen who had instructed them, they immediately sprang into action, deploying their networks and resources to start the search.
As the saying goes, many hands make light work.
Though not numerous, the moguls of Riverhaven County had far-reaching connections, and their mobilization was indeed terrifying.
In an instant, the entire Riverhaven County was set in motion, everyone in
search of a yellow van.
Before long, pedestrians strolling the streets were surprised to find that, despite the passing of rush hour, the traffic on the roads had picked up once again.
Moreover, many of the cars were not driving fast, and the drivers were looking
around as if searching for something.
“Why are there so many cars tonight?”
“I don’t know, but they’re all nice cars, look at that Land Rover…”
“Look, that’s Chester Ware’s car.”
” Hey, that looks like Augustus Wolfe’s car, the owner of Riverhaven Mall.”
“My goodness, why is it all rich people? What are they up to?”
“Could it be that some VIP is about to arrive?”
Pedestrians stopped in their tracks, watching the cars come and go.
They could not fathom why all these wealthy individuals had suddenly
appeared on the streets together.
Just then, an even more bizarre scene unfolded.
All at once, the vehicles came to a stop, then simultaneously turned around and made a beeline for South Third Road.
Dozens of cars u-turning at the same time and heading in the same direction presented a rather impressive sight.
The bustling streets were swiftly deserted in the blink of an eye.
“Holy shit, what’s going on?”
“I don’t know, but I am certain it’s something big.”
“No kidding, like I needed you to tell me that?”
“Looks like Riverhaven County is about to change!”
The onlookers gazed at the empty streets, utterly astonished, exclaiming in shock.
Meanwhile, on the side of South Third Road, a group of people surrounded the yellow van, all with grim expressions on their faces.
“They must have switched cars.”
“So alert, they’re definitely habitual criminals!”
Micah Brent, his face dark with anger, bellowed, “Do I need you to tell me that?
Get lost! Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I must find them.
“Yes, boss!”
Greg Jensen parked his Jeep on the side of the road and looked over at Micah Brent.
Micah Brent shook his head helplessly and said, “They abandoned the vehicle; they must have switched to another car.”
” After switching cars, then what? Which direction did they go?” Greg Jensen asked.
Micah Brent said with shame, “We haven’t found out yet.”
At that moment, Greg Jensen’s phone rang, and he heard Norman Holmes’s excited voice, “Brother Greg, we found them, they’re in an abandoned warehouse in the east of the city, I’ve already sent you the address.”
“The east of the city?”
Hearing this news, Greg Jensen instinctively looked at Micah Brent.
Micah Brent was startled, and then realizing what had happened, cursed, “Aiden Clark, these guys are really cunning, after dumping the car here, they actually turned back this way.”
Greg Jensen said indifferently, “I’m heading there now, as for whether or not you’re coming, that’s up to you.”
“Go, how could we not? I’ll call them right now.”
Micah Brent quickly shouted to the people in the distance, telling them to
follow Greg Jensen’s car.
A moment later, the Jeep led the charge, followed by a variety of vehicles, easily
twenty or thirty in number.
The convoy formed two lines, threading through the town center.
“Look, they’re back again, and this time they seem to be heading to the east of the city.”
” What exactly is going on…”
Passersby, who had just come to their senses from the previous shock, once again let out exclamations of surprise.
Watching the cars whiz by, everyone was utterly baffled.
Meanwhile, Bobby Prince and Bryce Cooke notified their subordinates to rush
to the location of the warehouse.
After receiving the message, the youngsters scattered across Riverhaven County all converged towards the warehouse.
In an abandoned warehouse in the east of the city, Lois Abbott was tied to a
chair, her mouth stuffed with a rag.
Kenny Walker looked at her with excitement and laughed, “Wayne, you did a great job this time. I didn’t expect you to really bring this dame back.”
“It was all thanks to your expert command, Mr. Zhao.”
Wayne Cooper chuckled and asked, “Mr. Zhao, can we call Greg Jensen now?” Kenny Walker laughed, “No rush, let’s wait another two days. The longer we wait, the more anxious that kid Greg will become, and he’ll be more likely to accept our terms.”
What a bastard, he sure has a lot of tricks up his sleeve!
Wayne Cooper sneered inwardly, filled with contempt for Kenny Walker, but maintained a friendly facade and complimented him,
“Yes, how didn’t I think of that? You’re really something, Mr. Zhao.”
As he spoke, Wayne Cooper also gave a thumbs-up, showing his admiration for Kenny Walker.
“That’s enough, you keep watch for now, I’m heading back,” Kenny Walker said before leaving, not forgetting to remind him, “She’s our bargaining chip in the negotiations with Greg, so make sure you keep a close eye on her and don’t let her escape.”
“Rest assured, Mr. Zhao.”
Wayne Cooper agreed wholeheartedly, but internally he was contemplating how to extricate himself.
He had deliberately sent a message to Norman Holmes, revealing the warehouse location, in the hope that Greg would take care of Kenny Walker.
When that time came, not only could he rid himself of Kenny Walker but he might also take the opportunity to make a profit.
“Mmph…”
Lois Abbott squirmed uneasily.
Seeing this, Kenny Walker walked over with a smile and removed the rag from her mouth.
“You guys…just let me go. My relationship with Greg isn’t as close as you think. He won’t come to save me.”
Lois Abbott was petrified; she had never encountered such a situation before.
Even so, she tried her best to remain calm and sought to distance herself from Greg Jensen.
In doing so, Kenny Walker would lose his leverage over Greg, and Greg wouldn’t need to do anything rash for her.
With this thought, Lois Abbott felt a surge of calm and looked up directly at Kenny Walker.
Kenny Walker’s lips curled into a sly smile, “So Greg really doesn’t care about you?”
Lois Abbott was overjoyed inside and hurriedly said, “That ungrateful wretch, he just sees me as a plaything. How could he care about my life or death?
However, in her eagerness not to trouble Greg, she forgot about her own plight. Kenny Walker, far from getting angry at her words, just laughed out loud.
He looked at Lois Abbott with a mocking expression and sneered, “In that case, what use is there in keeping you?”
After speaking, he lifted his head and said to Wayne Cooper, “Since she’s of no use, take her to the back mountain, dig a hole, and bury her.”
“Yes, Mr. Zhao.”
Wayne Cooper understood and waved his hand, prompting two of his men to approach.
Seeing this, Lois Abbott panicked immediately, turning deathly pale.
