My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1807

"Ring, ring, ring-"

In the middle of the night, the phone suddenly rang. Jefferson grabbed the phone and silenced it. After confirming that Adrienne hadn't been woken up, he got out of bed and went to the balcony to answer the phone. "What's the matter?"

"Captain Hefner, I've received word that tonight at 2 a.m. there will be a deal carried out at Mangrove Bay." A familiar middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone. This man was a gangster and often played double agent for both sides of the law. He didn't have any big forces behind him, but he had a wide network of friends and was very well-informed. He was typically known on the streets as Aero'.

After Jefferson became the leader of the narcotics team, he reached out to Aero to cooperate with him. However, Aero was a man who liked to play both sides. He still wanted to live a couple of years more. Naturally, he was unwilling to be tied down to the police.

But of course, Jefferson had his own means. Under Jefferson's persuasive methods, Aero had no choice but to become his informant.

The previous month, Jefferson had managed to bust a drug dealing based on Aero's tip-off. In exchange, Aero received a 'reward'.

After the last cooperation, Jefferson hadn't taken the initiative to look for Aero again. For one, he had no time. Secondly, the information he had at the moment was not related to Aero's expertise.

Jefferson hadn't expected Aero to offer up information voluntarily...

He was a little suspicious. "Are you sure it's tonight? Are you sure it's in Mangrove Bay?"

Aero assured him, "Captain Hefner, you have something on me. Unless I want to die, why would I give you false information?"

Jefferson wasn't worried that Aero would lie to him. Rather, he was more worried that Aero's identity had been discovered. Someone might have been trying to set him up. "What have you been doing recently? Who have you been close to? Have you been drunk? Do you owe any debts?"

"Captain Hefner, Mr. Hefner, I know how dangerous it is to be a police informant. I'm not that stupid as to expose myself and get caught. I may not know how to do many things, but being cautious is my forte." Aero understood Jefferson's worry. As he said, he took this matter very seriously because his life depended on it.

"What's the specific location of the deal at Mangrove Bay?" asked Jefferson again.

"Well..." Aero hesitated and answered, "All I know is, it's going to be at a bar there. I'm not sure exactly which one."

Mangrove Bay had a whole street of bars. Generally, they would stay open until three o'clock in the morning. At 2 a.m., all the bars would be open. If they had to check each bar one by one, it would stir up too much commotion. Without hesitation, Jefferson responded, "If it goes well tonight, I'll remember your efforts. If the information is false, you know the consequences."

Then, he hung up the phone and immediately sent texts to a few team members. Jefferson asked them to get to the station immediately to prepare. After that, he went back into the house.

On the big bed in the room, Adrienne slept soundly and looked calm. It seemed that she had no more nightmares.

Jefferson came forward and sat down beside the bed, gently feeling Adrienne's forehead. Her body temperature was back to normal, but he was still worried. He whispered in her ear, "Little Specky, I have some work to do.

You sleep alone for now, but don't be afraid."
