Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 438 There Was No Way to Save Her

"This nephew of mine has always been willful and reckless. He must have caused you trouble." "Please don't misunderstand. He and I are not..." "Alright, alright. Let's go over there and take a look." Charles did not wait for her to finish speaking and directly took her into his arms. Lyra frowned and was about to struggle. "Miss Jones, you have to help me deal with my family first. If you cut off the connection, won't I be busy for nothing today? This thing is really uncomfortable," he said.

It could be seen that he was very dissatisfied with this formal suit. "When can you help me find her?" Lyra asked. She was really anxious. She was afraid that if this dragged on, things would become even more troublesome. "In ten minutes." Charles immediately said. This was not a difficult matter. Lyra stood beside him, enduring everyone's gazes. There were also people who came forward to greet them. Charles was always gentle and polite, but Lyra was absent-minded. "Ten minutes have passed." She frowned and reminded him. "Alright, let's go now." Charles's clear eyes reflected her face. He casually took off his coat, threw it to the servant at the door, and brought Lyra to the sports car at the door. "Young Master!" A bunch of servants chased after him, but they were all thrown off by Charles. The convertible sports car quickly drove out of the door and headed west along the coastline.

"This is not the way to the embassy," Lyra said as she fastened her seatbelt.

The sea breeze blew away her hair, and she looked warily at the man driving the car. "I want to get off," she said. Since the other party had no credibility, she would not sit still and wait for death. As soon as she finished speaking, she took off her seat belt and jumped towards the seat behind her. "You..."

Charles was shocked.

Under such a fast speed, wasn't she joking? "It's not that I don't want to take you there. Think about it, can the people in the embassy really help you find a stowaway? Even if they find her, they will only send this person back to jail."

When he said this, his eyes were indifferent and deep.

Then, he smiled casually, "So I never trust the police."

Lyra sat behind him and was also very nervous.

However, she could clearly feel the speed of the car dropping. Her vigilance also eased a lot. She had been trained before, so she was confident to do this at such a high speed. Unexpectedly, it really worked. "Charles, if you can help me find her, I will sincerely thank you." Lyra's voice was faint, almost blown away by the sea breeze. The man held the steering wheel and suddenly asked with a smile, "Then, if I make a request to you, will you agree to it?" "It depends on what your request is." He shook his head in amusement. "Hold on tight, I'm going to speed up." He drove out of the city with Lyra. Seeing that the small city was getting further and further away, Lyra slowly frowned. It was a winding mountain road. Charles had no choice but to slow down. At this time, he also had time to chat with Lyra. "The person you are looking for is quite young. Is she your friend?" "It's my sister," Lyra said softly. "Then you are also... a stowaway?" Charles frowned and did not say anything.

"No."

Charles nodded thoughtfully. "That's right. If you were a stowaway, you would not have appeared on that ship. Moreover, the price of your cabin should not be low." On the day Lyra set off, there was only this high price ticket left. "How much longer?" The mountain road was getting bumpier and bumpier, and Lyra was a little worried. "Soon." As Charles spoke, he made a turn and a small village appeared not far away. "All the stowaways will be brought here. Your sister is also among them." Lyra frowned.

If there was such a place, why didn't the people from the embassy tell her? Charles only glanced at it and understood what she was thinking. "Business in these places can not be exposed. No one will tell you but for me. Because this is also part of the Lijin family business." Lyra was stunned. She never thought that such a luxurious family would actually do such a shady business. Charles sneered. "There is no clean business in this world, and there are no clean businessmen." He slammed the car door and walked inside. Lyra sighed slowly and followed him. "Young Master!" "Why are you here?" The man guarding outside walked over and noticed Lyra behind him. Then, a pistol appeared in his hand. The muzzle of the gun was aimed at Lyra's face. Her heart was beating fast, and she suddenly stopped, not daring to move even half a step.

"Put it down, it's one of us. Take me to those who came ashore yesterday." Charles tsked.

The man immediately obeyed. Lyra's heart could not calm down for a long time. She quickly followed. If something really happened, if Charles wanted to kill her, it would just be a sentence.

It was estimated that the embassy would not go against the Lijin family. Or, they had been bribed by some people from the beginning and had deliberately given her the wrong direction.

"They are all here." The man opened a metal door. A dozen or so people sat in the dark. The light outside shone in and everyone blocked their faces.

"Is she there?" Charles turned around and asked.

However, Lyra was already frightened by the scene in front of her. Her hand slowly tightened. She held her palm and forced herself to calm down. She followed the light and looked at everyone inside. There were both men and women. There was no Alma. "No," she said, shaking her head. "No?" Charles glared at his subordinate.

He even said a few words in the local language, his tone very cold. The man immediately said, "There are two more. They are already..." After he finished speaking, he led them to push open the door to another room. The wooden door creaked, and the two people inside each sat in the corner.

Alma lowered her head, her long hair blocking her line of sight. Her clothes were tattered, her arms and legs were covered in mud, and her body was trembling uncontrollably. "There's no way to save them, Young Master. They were already infected with that kind of thing on their way here." "Alma!"

Lyra immediately ran over. "No, it's contagious." Charles grabbed her in time. "Let me go. At least, I want to know that she is still alive." Charles immediately let his subordinates go over. The subordinate also said awkwardly, "Young Master, we can't get any closer. The doctor said that there's no way to save her after he came to see her."
