"Yes, Mr. Lancaster. Please calm down!” The two bodyguards rushed over to persuade him.
Henry's temples bulged high and the veins on his forehead were about to burst. "With such a big explosion, do you think she can get away from the fire that spread so fast?"
"This..." Joe choked.
Henry no longer paid attention to him. He wanted to rush inside.
When Joe returned to reality, his eyes flickered and he made a firm decision. "I'm sorry, Mr. Lancaster. Please forgive me for doing this for your safety. When you wake up later, I'll do whatever you want!"
After speaking, he took a deep breath and raised his hand to attack the back of Henry's neck.
Henry frowned and lost consciousness on the spot.
"You two, send Mr. Lancaster back first. I'll take care o f the rest here," Joe ordered.
The two bodyguards obeyed the order and carried Henry to the car.
Only Joe was left on the scene. He looked up at the sea of fire in front of him and took out his mobile phone to file a report to the fire department. Then, he walked towards the traffic police.
After handling the retrograde violation, Joe stood here waiting for the fire truck to come and put out the fire.
The firemen quickly arrived and dozens of fire trucks put out the fire together. The scene was shocking.
The fire was so strong that it wasn’t extinguished until dark.
There was nothing left. The entire industrial area was ruined, which would make people feel sad.
Then, the mobile phone in Joe's pocket rang.
He stepped aside, took his mobile phone out, and answered the call, "What’s the matter?"
"Mr. Woods, Mr. Lancaster is awake," the man on the other end of the phone replied.
Joe glanced at the ruins behind him and rubbed his temples. "Got it. You need to calm Mr. Lancaster down first. I'll be back soon."
After the call, Joe put away his mobile phone and approached the firemen. "Sir, I'll make a move first. When you go in for a search later and find a corpse, you must inform me immediately!"
"Okay." The fireman, whose face was covered in ashes, agreed.
Joe thanked him and drove away.
Two hours later, he arrived at the villa. As soon as he entered the room, a glass flew to him.
After Joe looked clearly, he knew precisely who had thrown the glass at him. He didn’t even avoid it, but he let the glass hit his head.
With a crackling sound, the glass fell from his head to the ground and shattered into pieces. His head was smashed and covered with blood. It was miserable.
But Joe didn't care nor did he wipe the blood on his head. He went straight to the bed.
Henry was agitated during the day, which led to cerebral venous congestion. At the moment, he was put on a drip and he was very weak, so he couldn't get up at all.
When he saw Joe, he remembered how Joe knocked him out. His voice was as cold as satan. "How dare you, Joe!"
Joe lowered his eyes. "I’m sorry, Mr. Lancaster. I shouldn't have knocked you out, but I don't regret it. I can’t let you take the risk."
Upon hearing that, Henry closed his eyes fiercely. When he opened his eyes again, he calmed down a little more. "What's the situation like? Did you find her?"
"The fire has been put out and everything has been burned down. There's nothing left. The firemen are cleaning up the scene. I've told them to inform me immediately if they find... the corpse," Joe's voice got softer as he spoke.
Especially when he said the word "corpse," he uttered i t with great courage.
Henry's eyes were red again. "How did you know that she didn't get in the car at that time?"
Joe didn't dare to hide the truth and he told Henry what Jacqueline told him at that time.
"Jacqueline..." Henry gritted his teeth and his eyes were fierce. "Go. Let someone interrogate her and the driver. I don't believe that Yvonne would get out of the car by herself!"
Jacqueline said that Yvonne was looking for Jason Frey.
But he knew that she no longer cared about Jason. This time, she was kidnapped because of Jason.
Although she was kind, she still had her bottom line. She would never get out of the car for Jason, so the truth of how she got out of the car was absolutely not simple.
Joe obviously thought of this too. He narrowed his eyes and when he was about to do as Henry said, there was a knock on the door.
He walked over and opened the door. Then, two people came in quickly.
