Chapter 238 - 238: Meeting Jared

After Daniella left, Glen took his phone out of his pocket and dialled Evan's number. He sighed as he waited for him to answer the call.
"What is it, Glen?"
Evan opened the door of the taxi as it stopped in front of the hotel. He will be staying here for some days by Ken's request.
"Are you still looking for her?"
Evan stopped in his track upon hearing it. He already knew who was the 'her' he was asking too, "yes, Bing and Mark are working together to find her. Seems like her friends decided to give up," he continued walking and opened the trunk of the taxi, then he picked up his luggage and walked towards the hotel entrance huddling the luggage on the pavement.
"She wants you to stop."
Evan has reached the entrance. The door automatically opened by his presence but the nerves in his muscles froze, his eyebrows waggled while a quick excitement took over his features.
"Is she with you right now?" he remained rooted in his spot, his voice was full of life unlike what he used to have in the last few weeks,
"She's gone but she asked me to tell you that," Glen took a sighed which made Evan confused.
"You should wait for her."
Evan broke a smile; he bit his lips to stop himself from laughing and walked through the entrance towards the receptionist.
"Is she going to see me soon?" he hopefully asked.
"Don't think so but she will visit Danny one day and if she comes, I will call you."
Evan was grateful for Glen's honesty. He knew very well about his feelings to Danny's mother and he's glad that he was not taking advantage of the situation.
After he ended the call, a light pat from his shoulder made him turn around.
Evan frowned, the reason why he's in Beijing was because of Ken.
"How's your flight?" Ken asked as he broke a happy beam.
"Why am I here Ken?" he was so busy with work but Ken urged him to come.
Ken shrugged a shoulder, "I am trying to save you from marrying that maid so tonight," he brushed his palms together while his smile widened, "there's a fight in the Golden Club, we will watch it."
"I am not interested."
"Are you sure? Allan Minoan is one of the fighters. I bet a lot of money to his opponent," he winked at Evan then snatched the luggage from him and asked one of the hotel employees to bring it to his hotel room.
"I am not sharing the room with you Ken," Evan protested.
"Too late, and don't worry, my room has two bedrooms, you can occupy one of them."
Evan blew out a sigh, he had never shared a room with any of his friends and he's not planning to share one now.
"Ken I am getting my own room."
"I think shorty would love us to save money by sharing rooms."
"Don't use her in this conversation, Ken."
But Ken ignored him, he rested an elbow on the counter and look coldly at the receptionist.
"Give my friend another key. He will be staying in my room."
Then he turned, winked as he past Evan and smiled.
Evan just shook his head. He took the card key that the receptionist placed on the counter.
When he noticed the malicious smile of the receptionist, his face screwed up.
"He's my friend," he didn't know why but he felt the needs to explained his relationship to the receptionist.
"it's alright sir," the woman shook her head while flashing an understanding smile.
Evan groaned and followed Ken who was holding the elevator door for him.
He stood next to him, face remained dark and pissed.
There were few people in the elevator. As the door was about to close a man suddenly held it. Ken stiffened when he noticed that it's one of Jared's bodyguard which only means that he's around.
"Hi, Ken."
The voice Ken despised so much; his face screwed up when Jared suddenly appeared.
His smirk and expression were so fake. Ken hated women but he hated him even more.
He blew out a harsh sigh and watched as Jared stood next to Evan.
"You must be Evan Su," Jared stretched a hand and widened his smile.
Evan accepted his hand casually and firmly shook it, "yes, and you are Jared. Ken told me about you," he didn't return Jared's warm smile, instead, he withdrew his hand and faced the elevator door.
"You are going to watch the fight later, right Ken?"
Ken nodded, "why do you have Lemuel's son? I didn't know that he was a wrestler."
"Oh, yeah, he's not. His father failed to deliver a woman to my father that's why we have his son," Jared responded witfully and loudly, not minding that the people around could hear him.
"What woman?" Ken curiously asked.
"Well, she's kind of special. I almost had her but she escaped and I am wondering if your friend Evan saw her."
Evan's forehead furrowed, he jerked his head at Jared's direction, "what's her name?"
Jared let out a faint laugh. He shoved both hands in his front pocket and asked one of his men to press the stop button of the elevator.
"Hey, we are in a hurry!" one of the men in the elevator complained.
Jared rose a brow, and in a split second a loud roared from the pistol sounded and a body fell on the ground with a thud after Jared's bodyguard shot the man that complained.
"Anyone else here in a hurry? I can send you straight to hell," Jared smiled viciously.
Everyone including an old woman became quiet while Ken and Evan stiffened.
"You know who I am talking about Evan Su. Small woman, round eyes, scarred body and oh!" he paused and took out his phone, he showed the photo of Daniella with Evan in her side, "the woman with a chip in her brain.
Evan's jaw gnashed in anger; his fist clenched tightly while Ken tried to stop him from attacking Jared.
"What do you need from her?" Evan asked in a suppressing tone.
"I don't need much from her," Jared put the phone back in his pocket, then press the floor of his hotel room, "I just need her tissues to study why she's healing faster, and eventually have her wear a wedding dress for my father."
The elevator door opened, with a triumph smile, Jared stepped out.
"She actually called me Evan. Too bad all I could hear was her breathing," he ticked his tongue and left the elevator with people inside crying and staring at the dead man on the floor.
As the door closed, Evan unclenched his fists, slowly calming down.
"Who's going to deal with this body?" Evan asked.
"Don't worry about that, Kim and Jared are too powerful that even if they kill a person in front of a judge, no one would dare to put them in the prison."
Evan blew out a sigh, they both left the elevator while some of the hotel employees carried the body out.
