Chapter Twenty-Six: The Boy

Emerging from the Quinn Building, Jace drove his newly purchased Maserati to his destination, Lake Palm. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the confidential information intercepted by Felicity, it was clearly pointed out that the transaction location was in Palm Lake, but the location was not stated on the information, only that it was the old location of Palm Lake, which made Jace and Felicity both a little blind.

Luckily, the message states that one of the parties to the deal, Triad, comes from a Chinese underworld organization, and during a recent triad sabotage operation, Jace took the opportunity to knock out one of the triad leaders whose name was on the message, and manipulated his SIM card.

With the aim of familiarizing himself with the terrain and investigating the situation, Jace followed Felicity's guidance to the location where the signal finally appeared.

"Felicity, I'm here, but are you sure it's here?" Standing in front of a shop, looking around, Jace's brow furrowed from the dilapidated buildings around him.

"Yes, according to the tracking signal of the SIM card, it is in the northeast area of Palm Lake, but it can only be tracked here, it should be that they noticed a problem with the SIM card, so they discarded it."

On the other end of the phone, Felicity, who was sitting in the office, tilted her head and held the phone, tapping on the keyboard while making a cameo commentary.

"Is this so, I know, I'll check here, if someone in the company comes to me, you can help me block it, that's it, hang up, bye." As soon as the words fell, before Felicity could respond, Jace hung up the phone.

"Sir, are you looking for someone?" As soon as he hung up the phone and was about to walk around, Jace felt that the corner of his clothes was pulled by a hand, and when he lowered his head, a child of about seven or eight years old was looking up at Jace with a pair of innocent eyes, and those pure eyes were full of doubts.

"yes, Uncle is lost, so I don't know what to do." Squatting down, blue eyes met the boy's black eyes,

The boy is very thin, but unexpectedly very energetic, although his hair is messy, but with the overall handsome facial features, it is unexpectedly harmonious.

"So, where is that place where you're going, uncle? Maybe I'll find out. The boy, who had always been enthusiastic in Palm Lake, saw Jace say that he was lost, and immediately said that he should not look at him as young, but he knew the specific location of the streets and buildings of Palm Lake.

"Okay, the place my uncle wants to go to was an abandoned building a long time ago, I remember it seems to be the original dormitory area of a factory, of course it was more than ten years ago."

Facing this warm-hearted little boy, Jace was in a trance for a while, thinking that instead of aimlessly looking for a stronghold that he didn't know where it was, it would be better to go to the turning point of his fate back then, after all, there Jace Quinn had a real transformation.

"Hmm............ What an abandoned building............ I don't know about this, but I know all the abandoned buildings in the neighborhood, and two of them are not far from here, uncle, do you want to take a look? ”

After crossing his fingers and thinking carefully for a while, the boy told Jace his answer, and then looked up at Jace, asking if he wanted to take a look, and said that he could lead the way.

"Really? Thank you, my name is Jace, Jace Quinn, and what about you, kid? ”

Looking at the boy's pure brown eyes without a trace of impurities, Jace inexplicably felt that his impetuous heart quieted down, smiled and stretched out his hand to help the boy straighten the messy hair on the top of his head, and asked.

"My name is Dawn, Dawn Jones." Perhaps a little uncomfortable with Jace's sudden movements, the boy's body subconsciously shrank back when Jace stretched out his hand, and lowered his head a little embarrassed when he found that Jace was only helping him fix his hair.

"Boy, keep your chest up and your head up forever, you know, Dawn?"

The boy's reaction naturally couldn't hide Jace's eyes, and he felt a little funny in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for what he was like when he was seven or eight years old.

The girl who was chasing after her ass and mouthing Jace and waiting for me now doesn't know if life is good or not.

Thinking about it, my mind drifted to the girl who had been a follower of herself, but had left Starling City at the age of eighteen with her councillor father.

"Hmm." In response to Jace's casual words, Little Dawn nodded seriously.

"Then again, Dawn, are you okay? Just take me there? ”

Holding the boy's hand, walking in the direction the boy pointed, small talk was naturally indispensable on the road, and hearing Jace's question, little Dawn was obviously a little nervous, which was evident from the fact that he unconsciously clenched his little hand.

"No, it's fine." Perhaps because of his nervousness, Little Dawn's voice trembled a little.

"That's right." Without delving into why the boy was nervous, Jace's instincts over the years told him that the boy had no ill will or guilt towards him, and that the nervousness was apparently due to Jace having touched the boy's little secret.

Following the little boy through the streets, after an unknown number of turns, the two people, one big and one small, finally arrived at the location of the first abandoned building, fortunately, when Jace saw the abandoned building in front of him, the scene engraved in the depths of his memory naturally appeared in his mind.

"Big brother is here?"

Seeing Jace looking at the abandoned building in a daze, and never came back to his senses for a long time, Little Dawn couldn't stand the silence for a long time, and his immature voice pierced the sky over this area,

"Yes, it's here, thank you, Dwayne," Jace bent down and patted the boy on the shoulder with a smile as he was reminded of the childish voice.

"No, no thanks, it's just a small thing, Mom said that helping others is doing good deeds, and doing good deeds can make Dad live a little better."

For as long as he could remember, he knew that his mother had been doing what she could to help others, but no one who had been helped by his mother, or who had helped himself, would not show a single bit of kindness to their mother and son, but more would ignore or insult them.

Jace's kindness can even be said to be one of the few that the little boy has received since he can remember, from strangers.

"Make your dad better?"

"Yes, my mother said that my father died when I was not born, and others said that he was beaten to death because he did bad things, so my mother said that she and I should do good deeds, so that we can make my father's life better in the future." Speaking of his father, Dwayne's interest was noticeably lower.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Dwayne."
