Chapter 357 I Have a Job for You
“Let me remind you a bit. We are now in the village, not the mountains, which means, if you hit me,
the villagers will find out and interfere.” Chad tried to scare Manuel, but his hand, which was bolting
the door, had betrayed him.
“Relax. I’m not here to beat you up today. But I do wonder why you keep targeting her,” Manuel said.
calmly.
On his way here, Manuel had made up his mind, thinking, if Chad is holding a grudge against
Ainsley, then I’ll have to send Ainsley away, even if she’ll hate me for this. I mean, being hated by
her is better than putting her in danger.
Knowing that Manuel didn’t intend to hurt him, Chad let out a sigh of relief with his body relaxed.
But he still looked slightly nervous.
The fact was that Manuel had long thought of how to deal with Chad, knowing that only by filling.
Chad in on what was going on between Manuel and Ainsley would Chad tell his intention to kidnap
Ainsley.
“Ainsley is my ex-girlfriend. But I only split with her because I had to. There was some
misunderstanding between her and me back then. So, now you see why I was angry at you for
kidnapping her, right?”
Chad scratched his head and growled in a slightly sullen voice, “You should have told me earlier! If I
had known about your relationship, I wouldn’t have attacked her no matter what.”
Manuel took the opportunity to ask about Chad’s motive, “So you only did that because you
wanted 960 thousand dollars?”
“What else could it be?” Chad sighed. “Actually, there is more to it than just 960 thousand dollars.”
Chad looked helpless and started to confess everything.
“You are that desperate?” Manuel found it rather reckless for Chad to deal with the whole thing like
that, thinking, in a small place like this, even if Chad managed to get the money, the police would
find him eventually.
“All right. I’ll forgive you for what you did in the past. But you are not allowed to get close to Ainsley.
anymore. Otherwise, I will never let you off.” Manuel didn’t want to corner Chad.
And of course, Chad did not want to lose Manuel as well since Manuel was just so resourceful.
Therefore, Chad nodded several times in a row. “Of course, man! Since you have asked, also, I’m now
aware of the relationship between you and Ainsley, no, Ms. Easton, I will definitely not do that
again.”
Manuel snorted lightly, thinking, finally! It is over!
Despite that, for Manuel, the whole kidnapping thing was actually a blessing in disguise.
Manuel thought, Chad is at the end of his rope since he chooses to kidnap.
That means I can proceed with my plan with Chad’s help.
Actually, I was thinking of carrying on my plan after reducing Chad to an abyss of despair. But it seems
that Ainsley has just saved him from that.
“Chad, are you very short of money?” Manuel tried to bait him.
Chad’s eyes
me crazy.”
lit
up as he said hurriedly, “Man, I am. I’m about to starve to death. Poverty is driving
Manuel stared at Chad and continued to bait him. “I have a job for you. Do you want it?”
Chad said hesitantly, “What kind of job?”
“We’ll get paid 320 thousand dollars for it,” Manuel said.
His ears buzzing, Chad widened his eyes, taken aback by the amount..
After a long time, Chad stuttered, “What is it that comes with a payment of 320 thousand dollars?”
Then Chad hurried to add, “As long as it’s not about murder and any arson attacks, then I’m in. Man,
I trust you.”
Hearing this, Manuel thought, he has taken the bait.
Now let’s see whether Chad has got what it takes.
Manuel narrowed his eyes and calmly told Chad why he was here in the village in the first place.
“Someone has offered 320 thousand dollars wanting me to find out the truth about the explosion.
in the Wade Group back then. That’s why I am here.”
Chad was stunned upon hearing the mention of the Wade Group. There was an expression of
horror on his face.
“Who on earth are you?” Chad asked cautiously.
Manuel pretended to show Interest in the money. “Chill out. I am just a private detective, and I was only
offered the job by chance. As long as we find the truth, we can get money.”
“Who is the client?” Chad’s face was full of inquiry.
Hearing that, Manuel gave him a cold look, his tone full of warning. “Chad, in our line of work, we have
to turn a blind eye to many things. You can never pry.”
Noticing that Manuel was serious, Chad began to buy the fact that Manuel was a private detective.
“Chad, this is 320 thousand dollars we’re talking about. Are you not tempted? If it were not for the fact
that you seemed to know a lot about what happened back then, I would never have offered you the job.
Think about it. If we succeed, each of us can get 160 thousand dollars.”
Chad was tempted, thinking, this is 160 thousand dollars that we are talking about! How am I
supposed to not be tempted?
With the money, I then could leave Ocala and stay far away from these people.
That being said, that person is just too powerful. Every time I thought of what happened that year, I
could not help but tremble.
Chad closed his eyes. The next thing he knew, those miserable screams and cries for help sprang
to mind. In the explosion, some people were blown to pieces, some were blown far away, and
some had their limbs blown off.
The ground was stacked with bodies and stained with blood.
Chad sighed gently as he opened his eyes slowly and looked at Manuel, who made the fear fade
away.
Noticing that his body was still sore from the beating Manuel gave him yesterday, Chad thought, /
can’t wait any longer.
I have to get the money and leave this place!
Since I’ve offended Ainsley, I might already lose that opportunity to get those 960 thousand
dollars. And nobody knows whether Ainsley will call the police or not.
“I am in!” Chad bit the bullet.
“Then take me to the pharmaceutical factory now, something flashed across Manuel’s eyes as he
said.
Chad clenched his fists, breaking out in a sweat. “Okay.”
At the border of Ocala, where Chad intended to kidnap Ainsley, Chad and Manuel crossed the
mountain range and walked up to the top of the mountain. Only then did Manuel find that there
was a valley here.
But the factory wasn’t in sight.
Chad faced the valley. “That pharmaceutical factory is right here.”
Manuel frowned. “Here?”
The continuous mountain range formed a line of defense, with lush weeds and trees on it. But
other than that, nothing was in sight.
Chad took a deep breath as he stomped a bit. “Right. It is right under our feet.”
Manuel thought, under our feet?
Manuel frowned, thinking, now it makes sense why Roman failed to have his people locate the factory
despite trying hard.
That’s because the factory is located in the mountain range!
“The Wade Group had dug a hole under the mountain range as the factory since the place is full of all
kinds of precious herbs, which later served as the raw materials of the pharmaceutical factory.”
Chad’s voice was distant.
With his feet on the ground, Manuel tried hard to suppress the excitement in him.
