Chapter 948 She Was Kidnapped
Chapter 948 She Was Kidnapped
Mr. Quill investigated all the people who knew his grandson and his wife. He found that everyone liked
them because they had been kind to others.
They had never offended anyone in their life. Even business opponents acclaimed them.
It was even less likely that there was anyone who would hate them and were desperate to kill them.
But something suddenly came into his mind. Cold shivers ran down his back.
Something aroused his suspicion, but there was no substantive evidence.
Then he found the garage.
Three days before the accident, the couple went to a garage to get their car repaired. Their mechanic’s
name was John Lee.
John Lee was about fifty years old and was a skilled mechanic. Lots of regular customers would ask
him for help.
The couple came to John and wanted to solve an engine problem because they heard that he was
professional.
John took the job and fixed the car as quickly as expected. After the repair, the car was checked and
there was no problem at all.
The couple was very satisfied, they paid the money and drove away.
It was a holiday, and they were on the way to visit Mr. Quill in the village.
No one expected that the car would crash halfway...
Although the police also investigated the garage after the accident, due to the lack of evidence and the Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
fact that the car had been burnt down, it could not be confirmed that it was a murder.
Therefore, the case was closed.
But Mr. Quill believed that there was something wrong with the car.
Because when he went to investigate the garage, and the moment he saw John Lee, he understood
everything.
Genetics was undoubtedly one of the most amazing things in this world. A person who should have
been dead for decades suddenly came back to life one day and stood in front of him.
It wasn't until that moment that he knew the baby didn’t die.
Not only did he not die, but he also survived, and became the most famous and skilled mechanic in the
neighborhood.
He led a quiet life for so many years, not because he forgot his hatred, but because he was waiting for
the right timing.
Then the time came.
The couple didn't know about him and trusted him to fix their vehicle.
How could he have missed such a good opportunity?
So, he secretly did something to the brakes, and no one could find out.
As he expected, the couple died.
He had finally avenged his parents’ death.
By killing this couple, John knew that it would make Mr. Quill more painful than killing himself.
When Mr. Quill found him, he didn’t try to run away, instead, he frankly admitted the crime.
He thought that Mr. Quill would kill him.
But he did not.
Because for all these years, Mr. Quill had been regretting and blaming himself for the misdeeds he had
done impulsively.
He had thought countless times that he should atone for his sins, but he never imagined that the way of
atonement would be like this.
Maybe this was an act of God's will. Mr. Quill killed John’s parents, so John killed his family.
He thought of his friend from many years ago and that bloody night.
In the end, Mr. Quill let John go.
He took his grandson's only daughter, Fiona, back to the village and lived in retirement.
Since then, eighteen years passed.
During the past eighteen years, life has been very peaceful, and John Lee never showed up in their life
again.
He thought that it might be the end of the story.
But John Lee died suddenly a few months ago.
When Mr. Quill got the news, John had been dead for several months. Although he was very shocked,
he didn't think too much about his death.
But a few days later, Fiona disappeared.
To be precise, she was not missing but kidnapped.
The person who kidnapped her was John's son, Gary Lee.
Gary Lee knew about the animosity between his father and Mr. Quill. After John died, somehow, Gary
Lee firmly believed that it was Mr. Quill, who killed his father.
Therefore, he kidnapped Fiona and required him to use the Celestial Book for exchange.
Mr. Quill didn't know how he knew about the Celestial Book, but Fiona was the only family he had, he
would give anything to get her back.
Therefore, he contacted Gary Lee secretly and tried to trade with him.
After listening to the long story, Mrs. McCarthy and the others fell into silence.
They never imagined that things had turned out to be like this.
Mrs. McCarthy turned to Mr. Quill and asked in a deep voice, "So, you still have the Celestial Book,
don’t you?"
Mr. Quill nodded.
At that moment, they finally understood why he refused to give the book to them.
Felix said in a deep tone, "Why don't you give it to us, and we help you get Fiona back?"
Mr. Quill glanced up at him and sneered, "You think you can get her back while I can’t even do it
myself? That guy had hidden Fiona. I have been looking for her for so long but failed. It's easier said
than done."
His words made all of them silent.
Mrs. McCarthy asked, "Was the man who you met just now Gary Lee?"
Mr. Quill nodded.
"How did he contact you? By phone?"
"No, every time he wanted to contact me, he would send someone to put a note under a stone at the
back of my house, then I know he’s here."
Mrs. McCarthy felt puzzled, "Have you never doubted him? Why didn’t you catch him since you are
fully capable of it? If his life was in your hands, you don’t need to worry that he won't let her go."
Mr. Quill put on an ironic smile.
"Of course, I thought about that. But that guy was so determined. He said that if he died, Fiona would
also be dead. He doesn’t mind the two of them dying together. How could I let that happen? So, I
thought I would just give him what he wanted after you left, but I didn't expect that you would come
back."
Mrs. McCarthy compressed her lips and said solemnly, "Mr. Quill, to be honest with you, we are also
determined to get the Celestial Book. It could save Fiona’s life, and so does Queeny's life. We are not
asking you to sacrifice Fiona for Queeny. We just hope that we could work together and think of a way
to make the best of both worlds. What do you think?"
