Leaving that district, Jas Black hailed a car and took Jane Sampson back to the hotel.
"I’ll leave by tomorrow night at the latest, and before I leave, I’ll have Peter Gingery co to King Town to be with you; he and auntie’s people will take care of the rest." Jas Black gently touched Jane’s head, "Don’t be afraid."
"I’m not afraid~" Jane said, "Peter Gingery is also busy with work, right? I have Lucy with , it’s fine."
"In such a critical ti, Peter Gingery is essentially here on a mission, and his task is to protect you before I finish mine," Jas Black said.
This was also the intention of the guardian team’s leaders; the text ssage Jane received on her mobile phone had already indicated that, as Jas Black’s wife, she was currently in a state of hidden danger, as soone had shifted their target to her.
At this mont, those people were clueless about the identity of Jas Black’s wife but that did not an they would never find out.
After all, for the insiders of Capital Province, the fact that Jas Black’s wife was Jane Sampson wasn’t such a difficult secret to uncover.
Once Jane Sampson’s identity was exposed, she would be in danger.
Therefore, having Peter Gingery co over was mainly for him to protect Jane.
Jane was not foolish; connecting the dots from the text ssages on her phone to Jas’s words, she understood everything all at once.
She humd in agreent and smiled, "That’s fine by ."
Jas felt there was always so hidden aning in her response of "That’s fine by ."
After pondering for a bit, Jas relaxed his expression, "Even if Peter Gingery cos, don’t even think about indulging with him. I’ll have given him a full briefing before his arrival, and I won’t miss a single detail."
Jane’s originally beaming expression suddenly changed; she tried to hold back but couldn’t restrain herself, and rolled her eyes before mumbling softly.
"Annoying ghost."
Jas’s expression darkened, "What did you say?"
"I said I understand, I’ll behave, I won’t eat anything I shouldn’t," Jane quickly clung to his arm, acting coquettishly, "I’m very well-behaved, don’t forget the gift you promised and a cup of milk tea; once I’m back in Capital Province, you have to make good on your promise."
Jas Black’s expression softened a bit, unable to resist her act of coquetry; he almost invisibly curved the corners of his mouth, and humd in reply. He had already arranged for soone to prepare the gift.
It wasn’t chosen from what Alexander Forest had bought last ti, but sothing Jas Black had thought of himself.
Jas thought, Jane will probably like it.
After all, she likes him.
Back at the hotel, knowing that there was a video from the day of the incident regarding Jane, Jas Black opened her computer to watch it.
Jane sat next to him, crunching on an apple and asked, "I think the General Manager of Crystal Elent Hotel, Rachel Miller, is quite nice. Should I ask her for the surveillance video?"
While speaking, she rummaged through her purse and handed over the business card Rachel Miller had given her previously, then said, "Should I give her a call to see?"
Jas glanced at the business card, snatched it expressionlessly from the tip of Jane’s fingers and, with a flick of his hand, tossed the card into a trashcan brimming with apple peels.
He then coldly advised Jane, "Try to have less contact with the people from Crystal Elent in the future."
"Why?" Jane looked puzzled, why was he suddenly so irritable?
What was the reason for such hostility? Was there a reason to throw away Rachel Miller’s business card into the trash can like it had personally offended him?
"Because the people you think appear to be good are not necessarily good; bad people don’t have ’bad person’ written on their face for you to discern whether they are good or bad," Jas Black said.
