I racked my brain but couldn't recall anything recent that could have caused trouble for Ryan. We had hardly interacted these days,

Seeing Gary hesitating, I decided to cut to the chase. "If you won't tell me, I'll just ask him directly."

"Don't..." Gary gave in frustratedly. "It's about the unfinished building incident on the outskirts of the city. Remember?"

"I remember." How could I forget being kidnapped for the first time in my life? But wasn't that resolved?

Gary sounded exasperated as he continued, "It was Zack Johnson, that bald guy. He pressured us to give him the land in the west of the city. Later, realizing he couldn't handle it, he came back to beg Mr. Frost, but insisted on taking 80% of the profits, which Mr. Frost didn't agree to."

"And then?"

"The night before last, he got desperate and tried to force Mr. Frost to agree by bringing him to his site. But his men acted like idiots and caused a serious car accident when they tried to stop Mr. Frost on the main road."
