Chapter 21 He Already Left
A black car quietly arrived at the gates of the airport.
As Tanner got out of the car, for some reason, he felt an inexplicable burst of anxiety. His heart felt as if
it was entangled by something, and he felt suffocated for a moment.
He frowned, pressed his chest hard, and stopped in his tracks.
His assistant, Fran, who was behind him, did not understand what was wrong with him, and asked
carefully, “Boss, what’s wrong?”
The strange feeling in his heart disappeared as quickly as it came.
Tanner shook his head, he paid no mind to this strange feeling. He lifted his legs and continued to walk
forward.
He was on a tight schedule. After waiting in the waiting room for five minutes, he needed to get on the
plane. After sitting down and getting a cup of coffee, the stewardess kindly reminded him, “Sir, you can
board the plane now.”
Tanner nodded, put down his cup, and strode towards the boarding gate.
After he boarded the plane, he took his seat.
Through the windows outside, he could see airport buses coming and going, as well as the busy
pedestrians coming and leaving.
Tanner glanced at it indifferently before closing his eyes.
He found it hard to sleep during the past few nights. The figure of that woman continued to appear in
his mind, the same could be said at this moment.
The moment he closed his eyes, he thought of her again.
Tanner opened his eyes and stared blankly ahead for a moment. He took out his phone and his
fingertips grazed the edge of the metal. After some time, he still dialed a number.
He called Abel Kline, the person who was responsible for keeping an eye on Eliza.
At this moment, Abel was smoking outside the Francis family villa. He was staring at the luxurious
house.
When Tanner's call came through, he became alert. He hurriedly threw the cigarette butt down and
carefully picked up the phone. "Boss."
"How is she?" Tanner got straight to the point.
Abel quickly replied, “We’re at Michael’s house right now. She’s been inside for two hours.” He looked
at the time to make sure that he had remembered the time correctly.
Tanner’s eyes darkened as he stared out of the window. There was an inexplicable expression on his
cold face.
Abel had always been afraid of him, he dared not talk back or talk too much. Suddenly, he heard the
sweet voice of a woman from the other side of the phone.
“Sir, the plane is about to take off. Please turn off your mobile phone,” The flight attendant reminded
Tanner.
Tanner rubbed the space between his eyebrows, then quietly pulled the phone away from his ear.
At that same time, Abel saw Eliza’s car rushing out of Michael’s house in a seemingly panicked
manner.
He was shocked. He knew that something must have happened, so he quickly shouted at the phone,
“Boss, something happened!”
However, the only reply he got was the cold beep of an ended call. Tanner had hung up the phone.
Abel dared not delay. He ran as he called Tanner back, but his phone was turned off.
To keep Eliza from noticing him, he had parked his car far away from hers, and it took him nearly ten
minutes to get there.
The moment he got out of the car, he saw Eliza’s car hitting the guardrail, and the two men in black
with malicious intent carried the unconscious Eliza out of the car. They did not stop there. They
immediately carried her into the woods behind.
Abel was so scared that his forehead was covered in a cold sweat. He knew how much his boss cared
about her. If anything were to happen to her, his boss would still be angry even after tearing him into a NôvelDrama.Org © content.
million pieces.
“What are you doing? Let her go!” Abel shouted and chased after them.
When the two men in black saw him, they glanced at each other. Then one of them ran into the depths
of the woods with Eliza in his arms. The other pulled out a dagger and ran towards Abel.
Abel was an experienced scout who had retired from the army. He had extraordinary skills, but he was
still entangled by the troublesome man in black for several minutes. After he subdued that man, he
followed the trail and ran out of the woods. He saw the back of the car that was taking Eliza away.
He cursed and immediately took out his phone to make a call. However, Tanner’s phone was still
turned off.
At that point, Tanner was already in the air, on the way to another country.
