Chapter 173 Believed It or Not
It had been 12 hours after Jessie's surgical operation. Even if she received anesthetic, she should wake up by now. But she didn't blink her eyes or move her fingers at all.
Lawrence had asked the doctor, and the doctor said that someone was more sensitive to anesthetic and might wake up later. Lawrence kept waiting. However, after 24 hours, 48 hours and then 96 hours, she still didn't wake up.
According to the doctor's diagnosis, Jessie was in a coma due to excessive loss of blood.
Upon hearing this news, Lawrence was in a state of panic and at a loss.
He didn't expect that Jessie would fall into a coma because of the injury. She was fine even though she tortured herself before.
He was afraid. He was afraid that she would never wake up.
He held her warm hands tightly, and he could only feel the warmth from her hands to tell himself that she was still alive.
If the warmth in her hands disappeared, he couldn't imagine what he would be like.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Lawrence picked up the phone and said "hello" feebly. A gentle female voice came from the other side.
"Lawrence, I have something to talk with you about the Xiao family's extermination more than ten years ago. Are you available?"
'Extermination of the Xiao family?'
Lawrence asked nervously, "Who are you?"
"You don't have to know who I am. If you want to know who killed all the members of the Xiao family, you can come here. I'll wait for you at FS Bar. And don't tell anyone. Till eight, if you don't come, you won't find me again."
Before Lawrence answered, the phone was hung up with a bang.
Lawrence lost in thought, wondering who on earth was the woman that made the call.
Judging from the voice, it should be a very young woman, no, more like a girl! If she was just a young girl, how could she know that the Xiao family was killed more than a decade ago?
Lawrence suspected that.
However, no matter how suspicious he was, it was related with the extermination of the Xiao family overnight which was the pain inside his heart. Even if he knew it might be a fake information, he couldn't let go of any chance.
Then Lawrence got on the car and left with an excuse. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
FS Bar, was a small bar with few customers which even didn't have many flies.
Lawrence entered the bar warily, and a woman in a red low-cut dress immediately came out to welcome him.
"Are you Mr. Lawrence?"
Lawrence was a little stunned. It seemed like she had already known that he would come.
The woman nodded with a smile and said, "Come with me. This way."
Lawrence followed the woman to the booth, and then, with a sound of "Pang", the gate was shut down. Rachel saw his frightened face and sneered, "I'm not afraid of you at all. I'm just a little girl. What are
you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will eat you up?"
Lawrence narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at her deeply.
Rachel put down the juice in her hand and said, "Don't worry. I'm not interested in old men like you."
Lawrence was speechless.
"Tell me, who on earth killed the Xiao family?" Lawrence cut to the chase, not wanting to waste any more time.
Ever since he knew that all the ten members of the Xiao family died in the fire in just one night, he swore secretly that he must find out the person behind the scene. However, no matter how hard he had searched for the past decade, he couldn't find any clue about the death of the Xiao family.
All the evidences were pointing to the fact that the Xiao family did die in an accident.
But he didn't believe it at all.
Rachel raised her eyebrows. She knew all about it, but deliberately asked, "After so many years, you didn't find anything, right? But it makes sense. The person behind is so powerful that he had got rid of all the evidence, even the witnesses, as if they had never existed in this world. But fortunately, I know what had happened."
"You?" Lawrence was quite suspicious of her. She was only 17 or 18 years old. "How do I know if you are telling the truth?"
Rachel smiled, "You can choose not to trust me. I didn't ask you to trust me. But Sir, you are here today just to know what I know, right? Since you are here, don't always doubt others' sincerity, or I will be hurt."
Rachel pouted, pretending to be aggrieved and looking at Lawrence miserably.
Lawrence sighed, "Okay, go ahead."
With a smile, Rachel took out a stack of documents and placed them in front of Lawrence. She said, "He killed the Xiao family. His name is Henry. He was a former mercenary of Russian, a powerful killer. He didn't have a good reputation in the business circle. He often got paid but didn't do things or screwed things up. Therefore, very few people hired him."
"Since he was so incompetent at work, who would spend money to hire him?"
"No matter whether he was competent or not, he was at least a killer. In addition, he was short of business. Once he needed money, he would definitely take any offer. However, in the past, the Xiao family was really out of luck. He was hired to kill Shawn only, but he had accidentally caused a fire when he was shooting Shawn."
"What? That fire was really an accident?" Lawrence stood up in surprise. He couldn't believe that so many members of the Xiao family were innocent.
Ten lives! Ten people in the Xiao family were dead! It was just an accidental fire and all of them were dead.
Rachel felt sorry for it. She didn't know if all the members of the Xiao family were destined to die, or did it mean that Shawn was so cruel that his fate involved all the members of the Xiao family.
Looking at the only person left in the Xiao family, Rachel began to feel pity for him.
After all, all his families had died, leaving him alone to live in this world full of hatred. It was really pitiful.
"Alright, don't be sad. Maybe it's fate. Although it was a tragic night for the Xiao family, your grandfather had to shoulder the greatest responsibility for the whole thing."
"My grandfather? Why?"
"Have you ever heard about what had happened between your grandparents?" Seeing him shake his head, Rachel said, "Then I'll tell you their story. I believe that after I finish my words, you will know who killed the Xiao family."
Rachel slowly narrated the story of Ken and Shawn. The more Lawrence listened, the angrier he got.
She could not understand why he was so angry. Was it because of the bad things his grandfather had done, or because he knew that Ken, who had raised him for more than ten years, was the people behind? Anyway, she could feel that he looked extremely horrible.
"How do I know if you are telling the truth? As you said just now, all the evidence and witnesses of this matter are gone. It is possible that you make up a story to deceive me."
Rachel had nothing to say to him. He thought she was talking nonsense!
She suddenly stood up and said coldly, "Believe it or not, it's nothing good for me. But there's one thing I can tell you, I'm the granddaughter of the killer! If you don't believe me, you can check it by yourself. I've already told you the name. You can do whatever you like."
Then Rachel walked away with her purse.
