Chapter 733
The lights in the training ground were exceptionally bright. Under the illumination of the lights, Ba Hu’s bald head looked like a big light bulb.
Ba Hu’s bald head was covered in fine beads of sweat that flowed straight into his collar.
He didn’t know why he was approached by someone from the black market, and this person’s identity seemed to be extraordinary…
Along the way, he racked his brains to think of who he had offended.
Forget about ranking among all the underground gangs in Silverlake, their LTTE was not even considered a big name at Qing Le Pier. Just based on the people they interacted with daily, it was impossible for them to offend any big shots.
However, the other party’s attitude was clearly not good. Something must have happened to their organization.
Along the way, Ba Hu was uneasy. In the end, he was brought to Melody Fox.
Before he could size up Melody Fox, Aaron Berg kicked his hind leg.
An intense pain came, causing his fat body to kneel on the ground.
However, he did not dare to be angry or say anything. He could only lie on the ground and ask while trembling, “I… I don’t know how I offended you big shots. Please be magnanimous and spare my life!”
Right at this moment, a cold female voice sounded.
“You’re Ba Hu? The boss of the LTTE?”
Ba Hu wanted to deny it, but no one could fool the people in the black market management area, so he could only suppress his fear and lower his head to answer, “Yes, I’m Ba Hu… I don’t know how I offended you…”
Melody Fox took out the video of Robert Downey fighting Dorrene Downey and walked to Ba Hu.
“Lift your head.”
Ba Hu raised his head. Before he could look at Melody Fox’s face, Melody Fox placed the video in front of Ba Hu.
“Look, do you know this person in the video?”
The video was very clear. Melody Fox even specially chose a frame with Robert Downey’s face.
Ba Hu’s face turned pale with fright after taking a look.
Robert Downey: That Nonsense. Is the Backer Someone From the Black Market?!
Wouldn’t he be dead meat then?
Melody Fox raised his eyebrows. “Looks like you know each other?”
Ba Hu’s entire body trembled as he kowtowed. As he kowtowed, he apologized, “I was wrong! I was wrong! I shouldn’t have cheated Robert Downey yuan. Please forgive me! I can return the money ten times over! Oh no, as long as you let me go, you can compensate me as much as you want. If the money isn’t enough, I can write an IOU and promise to return it to you!”
Melody Fox was confused.
“What cheating Robert Downey? What cheating are you talking about?” Ba Hu was stunned.
Wasn’t the other party here for this?
However, after hesitating for a second, Aaron Berg raised his gun and pressed it against Ba Hu’s temple.
“Answer!”
The cold and hard touch made Ba Hu’s heart tremble. He did not care about anything else and quickly told him how he had gone overseas to gamble and how he had deliberately called Robert Downey a gambling addict. In the end, he treated him as a pig and killed him for a lot of money.
Melody Fox frowned and said, “That’s not what I want to know. Tell me honestly, did you contact Robert Downey? Did he ask you to do anything?”
Ba Hu shook his head repeatedly. “No, I haven’t contacted him for almost a year! After he lost to me, I didn’t look for him again…”
Why would a pig with no money look for him? He could not even hide from Robert Downey. He was afraid that Robert Downey would realize something.
Melody Fox narrowed his eyes. “Are you sure you haven’t interacted with him before?”
“I swear to God! I really don’t have any contact with him anymore! How would I dare to lie to you!”
Ba Hu’s legs were trembling like a sieve.
Melody Fox frowned.
Robert Downey’s only acquaintance with a bit of power was Ba Hu.
But if it wasn’t Ba Hu, who else could be stopping Dorrene Downey from getting a divorce?
Aaron Berg glanced at Melody Fox’s expression and asked, ” Miss Fox, do you need me to interrogate him?”
“No, thanks.”
Melody Fox waved his hand. “Take him away.”
With Ba Hu’s guts, it was impossible for him to lie.
There had to be someone else involved.
After Ba Hu was taken away, Aaron Berg could not help but say, “Miss Fox, what trouble did you encounter? Do you need me to help you investigate?”
Melody Fox originally wanted to help Dorrene Downey solve the problem himself, but now that there was a shortcut for Aaron Berg, there was no need to forcefully investigate.
Thinking of this, she nodded and told him what had happened to Dorrene Downey.
Aaron Berg immediately replied, “Yes, I understand. I’ll definitely give you a result before tomorrow.”
“Will you be able to find out by tomorrow?”
“Yes, it’s not hard to find out.”
Those people from the law firm were not short of money, but they were afraid of death.
If he found an opportunity to capture one and ask him, he would know who was behind this.
“Then I’ll leave this to you. Report to me immediately if there’s any news.”
“Yes!”
Melody Fox put away his phone and patted Aaron Berg’s shoulder. He lowered his voice and said, “You can deal with Nyla Berg’s funeral first.”
Aaron Berg’s throat moved. He nodded and thanked him. Thank you, Miss Fox.”
Melody Fox waved his hand gently and turned to Spencer. Then let’s go back first. It’s is getting late.”
She had to rush back to cook for Margaret.
“Yes, Miss Fox. This way, please.”
Melody Fox was unfamiliar with the terrain of the black market. Spencer quickly led the way.
Soon, Melody Fox returned to the manor. When she got out of the car, she saw Astrid Swanson getting out of the car.
Astrid Swanson could enter the manor now?
The next second, Astrid Swanson saw her too.
Her eyes were filled with hatred, just like Nyla Berg’s.
Melody Fox met Astrid Swanson’s gaze without showing any weakness. She smiled and said, “Auntie Zhang, we meet again.”
“Hmph!” Astrid Swanson snorted from the tip of his nose. He pushed her shoulder away and walked towards the villa.
Melody Fox twisted her neck and was not in a hurry to follow. Instead, she called Ken Swanson.
Before she could say anything about Astrid Swanson entering the manor, Ken Swanson spoke first.
“I was just about to call you. The old man’s back. Just arrived at the airport. I’m on my way to pick him up.”
Ramon Swanson is back? Aren’t there still two more days before he returns?…
She was about to ask in detail, but Ken Swanson had already hung up without giving her a chance to speak.
Melody Fox lowered her eyes and suppressed the low spirits in her heart. She walked towards the villa.
It took less than an hour to get to the airport. It was too late to prepare dinner for the entire family, so Melody Fox simply gave up.
The sky had darkened, but the living room was brightly lit.
As soon as she entered, she heard Margaret say coldly to Astrid Swanson, “Kneel!”
Astrid Swanson shuddered. “Mom, I…”
“What I said doesn’t work on you anymore, does it?”
Astrid Swanson gritted her teeth. From the corner of her eye, she saw Melody Fox walking over, but she could only grit her teeth and kneel in the middle of the living room.
Margaret said coldly, “Kneel until Ramon Swanson returns before you can get up again.”
Astrid Swanson clenched her fists tightly, but when she thought about how her son would be released soon, her anger eased a little. She lowered her head and replied, “Yes.”
