Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)
Chapter 258
But as soon as she hopped into the vehicle, the gears inside her head began to turn once again.
At present, she and Christopher had been shoved into the back of the car by Leandro’s men, whereas Leandro himself was now seated in the passenger seat.
Winnie recalled Christopher once mentioned that people in the underworld normally addressed Leandro as Boss, so she followed suit.
“Please take us to the best hospital there is, Boss. My friend needs a blood transfusion!”
Leandro was a middle-aged man with medium-long hair. As someone who wasn’t too tall and had a slightly chubby build, he looked very average and accommodating at first glance.
However, he and Harold were hospitable in different ways. The former appeared especially down-to-earth, unlike the latter who was more like a wolf in sheep’s clothing and had an insidious smile.
Thus, Leandro immediately agreed to Winnie’s request.
“Don’t worry. We’re on our way to the best hospital. It’s not just for Chris; you need to get that arm treated too. I’ll be sure to get the most skilled doctor to tend to you.”
Winnie frowned as soon as she heard him referring to Christopher like that. “You know him?”
Leandro glanced back and smiled, his tanned skin and disheveled hair making him look like a law-abiding commoner rather than a major drug lord.
“Chris is Harold’s best subordinate. Everyone involved in this business knows him. Frankly speaking, I’m fond of talented people and just so happen to lack people like him. That’s why I’d save him without you telling me to. I want him to be indebted to me and work for me in the future. As for you, Ms. Vivian, I believe my reasons are obvious. Everyone wants what you have.”
Winnie was fully aware that people like Leandro did everything with a goal in mind. They always had an ulterior motive.
Still, she couldn’t be bothered to think about that now. All she wanted was for them to reach the hospital as quickly as possible and find out more information through him.
“We’re naturally grateful that you’re willing to save us, Boss. It’s just that we’ve barely just managed to escape from Harold, and there’s no way he’ll let us off so easily. He and his men have been chasing after us ever since we fled last night, so I’d like to ask you if you happen to know more about them?”
“To be honest, there was another chemist who escaped with us in the midst of all the chaos,” she continued. “I want to know if Harold’s caught up to him and taken him back. Have his men captured anyone since last night?”
“Another chemist working for Harold?” Leandro’s curiosity was piqued immediately. “Are you referring to Professor Riley White?”
“Yes.” Winnie’s brows furrowed. It looks like he’s only interested in chemists and his own benefits. He didn’t pay any attention to my question.
She began to grow impatient. “Please answer my question, Boss. I’ll tell you whatever you want to know when I get my answer.”
“Oh, of course. Look at me! I lost my focus the moment you brought up chemists. Regarding your question, I think you don’t have to worry. You’ll be safe once you’re on my turf since Harold wouldn’t dare enter my territory for now. I also heard he’s been injured—by explosives, at that—my guess is that he’ll stay hidden for a while.”
He continued, “As for Professor White, according to what I know, he probably hasn’t been captured. Harold is so ruthless that if anything happens to him, his whole family would be thrown into chaos. That’s why his biggest priority right now is to protect himself and take care of his family’s internal strife. He doesn’t have the time or manpower to deal with outsiders now. Not only did you guys blow up his lab and burn his factory, but you also released his chief drug maker. If he ever finds you guys, he’s definitely going to skin you alive. I’m not trying to scare you. He’s capable of doing something like that. That’s why you’ll be the safest with me.”
Then, he began to try to entice her, “I’d say it’s best if you could tell me where Professor White is, given the dangerous situation he’s in now. Tell me his location so I can take him here and guarantee his safety.”
Winnie glanced at him silently before responding, “Sorry, but I don’t know where Professor White is either. I’m not actually well-acquainted with him. I blew up Harold’s lab because he didn’t want to give me the proceeds I asked for. But according to what I heard from Professor White himself, he’d been wanting to get out of there since ages ago, so he escaped during the explosion. If you’re looking for him, I’m afraid I won’t be of much help.”
If all is well, Professor White should be with Xavier right now.
