Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 939 Crayson Tries to Escape

Once the three of them arrived downstairs, Veronica found Lazlo. "Bring your men and come with me. Also, immediately get someone to find the prints for the west zone secret research center. ASAP!"

"Yes, Miss Murphy." Then, he went to the side and made some calls. Soon after, Veronica, Skyler, and Lazlo ascended a car and left.

On their journey, they received a detailed map of the west zone secret research center. Lazlo stopped the car, and the three began analyzing the map by the roadside while the other cars waited behind them.

Back at One Piece Restaurant, Crayson was tied up on the chair. As time passed, the effects of the drug began to dissipate. He looked at Shirley at the side and asked, "Shirley, I've always treated you kindly. Doesn't your conscience hurt to see me tied up like this?"

Meanwhile, Shirley was sitting on a chair with a novel in her hands. She planned to read as a pastime. When she heard his words, she pursed her lips and shook her head. "Mr. Crayson, I know you've always been nice to me, but I don't treat you any less. Only by tying you up and not gagging you can it be considered as repaying your kindness."

At that, Crayson was speechless. Was this a way to repay his kindness? For a moment, he could not figure out how these youngsters' brains work. "I know you're a kind young woman, but I'm so old, and my body feels stiff from being tied up." He moved his body and sighed, looking like he was in pain.

"Mr. Crayson, that's not entirely true. I remember watching you beat up Sofia in front of the First Meeting's entrance last year. You were in great health back then, so your worries are for nothing." She was smiling sweetly and looking harmless. Then, she continued to read her novel and ignored him.

With no other option, Crayson could only start his plan as he sat calmly on the chair. His hands were struggling out of the rope, and despite being tied up, his dragon-head ring came to his rescue. The dragon's eye was a miniature button, and with one slight push, a sharp blade appeared at the dragon's mouth. It was only a centimeter long but fairly sharp and reflected under the light.

Putting on a calm expression, he started slicing the rope behind him. With minimal effort, the rope was clipped, and he grabbed it in time not to let Shirley discover that he had broken free. However, since his hands were behind his back, he accidentally cut his hand, causing it to bleed.

"Shirley, can you get me some water? I'm thirsty," he said.
