Klein had already returned to the hotel suite at the moment. He was sitting on the sofa in the living room and watching TV. No one knew if he was actually watching it. He just kept switching channels.

 

“Mr. Hane, you’re too polite. We’re old friends. There’s no need to stand on ceremony with me. Naturally, I’d help you to the end for this matter.”

 

Juan chuckled. “Don’t worry, Philip will definitely not escape this time. The things we’ve provided are enough to keep him in for more than ten years.”

 

Klein nodded, finally feeling more comfortable. He said, “Mr. Parker, thank you so much. I’ve asked my secretary to prepare a big gift for you. I hope you like it. If you’re free, let’s have dinner tomorrow.”

 

Juan smiled like a flower in full bloom. He was very happy. It was just a trivial matter and he had not even done much. He did not expect to forge a good relationship with Klein. This was a good deal for him!

 

As for the thank you gift, it was probably not a simple one.

 

The Hane family was an affluent force in Capital City after all.

 

Juan had his own agenda in this matter.

 

Philip was finished this time!

 

Juan sneered internally. He had thought about it for a long time before he contacted Klein Hane about this matter.

 

He wanted to make use of the Hane family to get rid of Philip!

 

After hanging up Juan’s call, Klein called Chip.

 

“Chip Norton, remember, you must take care of Philip Clarke properly this time. There can be no mistakes!” Klein said mildly.

 

“Third Master Hane, I’m facing a bit of a problem here…”

 

Chip’s voice was very low.

 

However, Klein ignored those details and merely ordered, “What can go wrong? Don’t tell me this is a difficult task for you. You must do it no matter what.”

 

With that, Klein hung up.

 

In the dimly lit room, Chip held the phone with a myriad of expressions going through his face.

 

Now, the roles of him and Philip were completely reversed. For an inexplicable reason, he was very worried about what Philip had said.

 

Philip just sat there leisurely, looking at a profusely sweating Chip. He said, “You hung up the phone too quickly.”

 

Chip laughed bitterly before subconsciously looking sideways at the huge glass wall.

 

He was caught between a rock and a hard place now. Although he could leave, he dared not. He nodded at the two subordinates who quickly looked at each other and walked out of the room.

 

Philip and Chip were left in the huge room.

 

Philip did not want to leave.

 

“Estimating the time, it should be soon now.”

 

A faint smile appeared at the corners of Philip’s mouth, but there was a chill to that smile.

 

The people he had been waiting for should appear anytime now.

 

Haha, the Hane family of Capital City.

 

It was time for a cleanup.

 

Outside the room behind the huge glass wall stood three people. It was the two subordinates from earlier and a bald man, Baloo, with his hands behind his back.

 

He had been watching everything in the room through this glass.

 

“Mr. Baloo, what should we do now?” one of them asked worriedly.

 

Baloo snickered. “We wait. I really want to know who he’s waiting for.”

At this time, a black commercial vehicle was driving on the elevated highway of Riverdale. It was obviously heading straight toward the city!

 

“Morons! You can’t even keep watch on one guy! If Third Young Miss finds out, none of us will be spared!”

 

The one angrily cursing was a burly man who was sitting in the front passenger seat.

 

“Mack, you can’t blame us for this. If someone from the Hane family wants to catch him, we can’t possibly stop them,” a man wearing a suit said from the back seat while wearing a sullen expression.

 

Originally, he was the person responsible for keeping watch on Philip, but today, he suddenly discovered that Philip had been taken away by the Hane family. As such, he immediately reported this to his leader because he dared not inform Third Young Miss about it.

 

“What is Third Master Hane planning to do in the middle of the night?”

 

The man in the front passenger seat held a trace of unhappiness in his sharply-defined eyes and seemed full of complaints.

 

After that, the man picked up the phone, dialed a number, and changed into a respectful demeanor as he said, “Third Young Miss, Mr. Clarke has been taken away.”

 

Vivi Joo was taking a comfortable bath. Upon hearing this, she immediately got up from the bathtub that was filled with roses, raised her long legs, and wrapped a bath towel around herself. She asked with a cold expression, “Who did it?”

 

“Hane family of Capital City, Third Master Klein Hane.”

 

“Why?”
