Looking at Evangeline's worried eyes, Zion reached out to hold her hand and whispered, "It's okay. No matter what happens, I will protect you first."
"I want you to be fine!"
Evangeline's eyes were a little red.
It was really hard to experience the hardships of not getting close to Zion. Now that she knew it, Evangeline only hoped that Zion could finish this task safely and go home with her.
Looking at Evangeline's red eyes, Zion said softly, "Okay, I promise I'll be fine."
"Have a rest. I'll watch here."
Evangeline's heart ached for Zion's weakness. Zion didn't try to put on an act. He nodded and closed his eyes.
He was really tired.
Looking at Zion falling asleep in a second,
Evangeline gently covered him with a quilt. Then she came out and said to Whale, "Go and check if the eldest son of the Laurent family has anything to do with the border drug trafficking case a few years ago."
Her words made Whale freeze for a moment, but he quickly checked it out.
Esmeralda also had a thorough understanding of the situation. A seemingly plain middle-aged doctor had been dragged out by her.
Because Zion was in poor health, Evangeline walked straight over.
"Anne, it's him. As soon as I spread the news, he came to find me. He must be my elder brother's man."
Esmeralda whispered into Evangeline's ear.
Evangeline just looked at the doctor. Her intuition told her that it was not the case, but she still asked.
"Why did you attack Mr. Laurent?"
The doctor sneered and said, "That was not serious, but unfortunately, you saw through it.
Otherwise, I would have killed him!”
"Do you have a grudge against him?”
"We are irreconcilable enemies!"
The doctor's eyes were so cold that they made one scared.
Whale came back after sending the message. When he heard that Esmeralda had found the person, he hurried over. However, when he saw the doctor, he was slightly stunned.
"It's you?"
"Do you know him?"
Evangeline tilted her head and looked at Whale with a trace of sternness in her eyes.
Whale quickly said, "Three years ago, in order to expand the warehouse, Mr. Laurent bought a piece of land in the south. But it seemed that the other party didn't want to take action, so Mr. Laurent used some means."
Whale's words were tactful, but Evangeline understood.
The means were cruel. However, the Klaus from three years ago was not Zion. It was obvious that Zion had taken the blame for him.
Evangeline was a little depressed.
"What's the result?"
"The other party is an old couple. They said that they didn't intend to sell the land, so Mr. Laurent asked someone to directly push the house of the other party with an excavator."
Whale felt a little uncomfortable when he said that.
Evangeline's eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Where were they?"
"In the house."
Evangeline immediately understood.
As a matter of fact, in order to get that piece of land, Klaus had asked someone to bury the old couple alive with that piece of land?
This was simply too cruel!
No wonder they said that they were irreconcilable enemies!
"That old couple is..."
"My parents!"
