With You For the Rest of My Life novel Chapter 71

It was just a joke, but was said by Xavier. With a straight face, Burke drank the beer and said, "I will stay here tonight."

As far as Xavier knew about Burke, Burke had tacitly admitted it.

Xavier was as excited as he had found the new continent of North America. He jumped off the sofa in an instant and shouted excitedly, "Damn it! I'm right? My sister-in-law is really admirable. Hahaha... "

Burke gave Xavier a cold look and made him shut up immediately. But the lips betrayed him. Finally he could not hold it and laughed loudly, with hands on his stomach.

"Have you laughed enough?" As a warning, Burke said coldly to Xavier, who was lying on the ground with his smile on his face.

Xavier stood up from the carpet, breathing heavily, and sat on the sofa. He said to Burke, "brother, you'd better go back. My sister-in-law might just be in some mood with you, you just need to say some sweet words to her." Xavier had no idea of the conflict between Burke and Rose. He just took it as a quarrel between ordinary couples.

Casting a glance at Xavier, Xavier said, "you sleep in the living room and I sleep in the bedroom." Then he was about to walk towards Xavier's room.

Xavier knew that Burke was here tonight. He shouted at the back of Burke, "As if you are the owner of the house, and it's really your style. Well, I have shown mercy to you today. Let's just take you in for one night. " After finishing speaking, he walked to the bedroom with Burke. He opened the wardrobe and got a quilt. Then he slept on the sofa in the living room.

When he was about to fall asleep, the mobile phone on the table suddenly vibrated. Xavier fumbled around on the table and grabbed the phone. He narrowed his eyes and saw that it was a high school classmate, Albert. 'I couldn't have a good sleep tonight, I didn't know why there were so many people looking for me.'

"Hello?" Xavier answered the phone in low voice.

"Hello, Xavier, I have found the person you asked me to investigate last time." When Albert worked in the Public Security Bureau, Xavier often asked him to investigate some tough things. They were high school classmates. One day, Albert accidentally broke the projector in the classroom. When Xavier knew that his family was in poor condition, he took the initiative to take full responsibility. He used half a year's pocket money to pay for the repair of the projector. Albert had always been grateful for the help of Xavier, and he was often enthusiastic and loyal, so Xavier's request to him was almost consenting to whatever he asked for, and his efficiency was very high.

"What? So soon? !" Xavier woke up half of a sudden, and immediately sat up from the sofa.

"Yes. I have sent relevant videos and materials to your mailbox. You can check them by yourself. If you have any questions, you can ask me." Albert replied patiently.

"OK, thank you. I'll treat you to dinner next time!" Xavier original stopped his call in a hurry, stood up from the sofa, and opened the laptop on the table to log in. Sure enough, the email sent by Albert had already been in the mailbox.

Xavier opened the email and downloaded all the videos and data into the computer hard disk, staring at the progress bar.

With a "Ding Dong", the file was finally downloaded. Xavier held his breath and opened the video. He found a familiar face outside the abandoned warehouse. It was Amanda!

In the video, Amanda was talking with a tall, strong man in black. The man looked in his late twenties and there was a huge tattoo on his right arm. Then the man took out a peaked cap from his pocket, put it on and lowered the brim of his hat on purpose. He took out a mask from his pocket and covered his face tightly.

Xavier was instantly shocked. This was the masked man who fought with him and Burke in the warehouse the other day. He was so familiar with Amanda. Instinctively, Xavier was suspicious of Amanda. Maybe what happened that day was just a farce made by Amanda?

The video was still playing. After the man in black was ready, he talked with Amanda for a while and then walked into the warehouse. Amanda followed him and disappeared from the camera.

Just as he expected. In the dark and quiet living room, Xavier's handsome and proud look was reflected from the computer screen.

Xavier opened the other two documents. Next to the portrait of the man in black, there was the name column, which read, "Rocky.".

He was Rocky?

Xavier searched in his memory quickly. Rocky was Amanda's elder brother with no blood relation.

Aye, so it is. Xavier already had the answer in his heart.

He scrolled the mouse and pulled down the file. The recording bar of Rocky's personal information appeared on the screen.

It was reported that Rocky was a member of the biggest Mafia group in the city -- the Bamboo Gang. He had stayed in prison for two years because of assault. After he was released from prison, he was active in the underworld again.

Xavier could not help but feel worried. Once he was involved with such a desperado, it was like a time bomb that could be blown up at any time. This was extremely dangerous for both of them.

Xavier frowned and opened the second file.

It was a case investigation report. It showed that the case happened a few days ago in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. A serious accident occurred. According to the report of the villagers nearby, around 10 o'clock in the evening, a group of gangsters escorted two men into the factory, during which there was a huge sound. It sounded like the sound of metal instruments hitting, and there was a man's painful cry. More than an hour later, the door of the factory was opened, and two men covered with blood were carried out one after another. The people inside got on the minibus that had been deliberately blocked on the roadside, and left in a hurry.

According to the description of the witnesses and the surveillance video collected by the police, it was briefly determined that the man being escorted was Rocky. This time, the perpetrator was supposed to be as an internal conflict in the gang. At present, the police were investigating and taking evidence, but they hadn't found the whereabouts of Rocky and the other man.

After reading the whole document, Xavier was lost in thought in the darkness. Would the gang's internal conflict be related to the kidnapping of Amanda's mother? They still couldn't figure out who kidnapped Amanda's mother.

Thinking of this, Xavier turned his head and looked at the closed door of the room. The dim light came out from the crack of the door, and he knew that Burke should not be asleep at the moment.
