I Only Want You novel Chapter 765

As soon as James walked out of the door, he made a phone call to Samuel again.

After a quick talk with Samuel, he then dialed Richard's number immediately.

Richard just came back from training and was tired and thirsty. He was drinking water when the call came in.

"Jimmy, don't worry. I haven't forgotten what you asked me to do. Just wait for my news."

James was getting in the car while speaking, "That's not urgent at the moment."

"Oh?"

"Are you busy now?"

Before Richard could answer, James quickly added, "Even if you are busy, you have to leave some time for me. I'm on the way to you."

Richard's heart skipped a beat. "Why? What's wrong?" James didn't sound good.

James stared at the panel and thought for a while before he continued, "Richard, do you have any solution? I mean... to control entering and leaving the city?"

James had calculated that it took at least 40

minutes for him to get to Richard. However, he felt that even 4 seconds were too long.

Richard was surprised. "Jimmy, what are you talking about?"

"Exactly what you heard."

"Do you mean you want to lock down the city?"

"That's right."

Richard sounded to have cursed in a low voice quickly, and then he said, "Fellow, what's wrong with you? It's not funny. You should know that a lock down can only be approved when felons escaped or there is pandemic."

Before Richard could finish, James cut him off, "I know. That's why I came to you. You have good networks in the military. And your father has strong connections. He is well respected in the circle. It's not that I can't find anyone else, but I don't have time to waste." James knew that it took time to make an appointment for dinners or prepare gifts if he wanted to ask for other's favors.

He didn't care about the money, but the time.

If his girl really ran away, where should he find her?

"Then why are you thinking about it? What's happening to you?" Richard thought James crazy as the first thing he said was a siege."

James paused for a second, "It's because of my wife. I don't know where she is now. I'm worried that she will leave the city."

James didn't tell the details, but Richard got him right away.

Richard was surprised again, "Did Elizabeth run away?"

"OMG, why? You took such a big risk to bring her back a few days ago. Isn't she pregnant now? Why did she run away? Did you piss her off?" Richard said. However, what he thought at the moment was that James was so bold to annoy Elizabeth. And Elizabeth really had the guts to run away while being pregnant. Well...

"Cut the nonsense," James tried to suppress his anxiety and said, "You know that she is pregnant. What if anything happens to her if she takes a long journey? I am so anxious."

"Well, Jimmy, listen to me." Richard cleared his throat, "I understand why you are anxious. But... Well, if you worry about Elizabeth leaving the city, just send your staff to look for her in the bus station, the train station, or even the airport. You have a lot of staff, so it shouldn't be a problem."

It was not that Richard didn't want to help James. Although Richard was bold sometimes, he was clear about the regulations. He wasn't powerful enough to ask for a siege. And he didn't know where to start, even if he would ask for other's help.
