Chapter 268: Hunt and Kill (2)
Focusing on the keyword Frost Group, Britney Spears has searched several times on the Internet and compiled a lot of relevant information.
The more she inquired, the more confused she became. Generally speaking, for such a huge enterprise group, most of the news on the Internet actually showed positive reviews, and there were not many slanderous news.
That is to say, after several hours of busy searching on the Internet, she did not find the relevant clues she needed as she imagined, and all the time was in vain.
Taking off her glasses and rubbing her temples, Britney walked out of the study tiredly, and was surprised to find that it was already dark outside, and it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening. No wonder she felt a pang of hunger in her stomach, knowing that she hadn't eaten since noon.
Casually took out some jam mixed with bread from the refrigerator and ate it, Britney stared out the window blankly, all kinds of thoughts in her mind were constantly struggling, holding the mobile phone in her hand, hesitating to call it or not.
She wanted to call the police, but she knew that the police would never go to search for a multinational group without obvious evidence, so it would be in vain to call the police.
"Rio ...... What am I going to do? ”
Although as a journalist, Britney has never encountered such a thing, and it is natural to be upset for a while.
"Perhaps...... You can go to him for help...... No, I can't go to him. ”
Only then did such a thought come to mind, and it was immediately vetoed by Britney, since she had said before that she would break off the relationship and divorce, but now she went to him for help, this was undoubtedly a slap in the face, Britney didn't want to be embarrassed in front of that person.
A butt sits on the couch. Britney pulled out her phone and flipped through her contacts, hoping to find someone who could get help.
It's a pity that there are hundreds of names and numbers in the contact, and there are very few of them that can help her, and the most important thing is the most important. Britney has no proof, and it is impossible to convince others to believe her based on those photos alone.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
There was a sudden knock outside the door, waking Britney Spears in confusion.
Who is it? She hadn't been here for a long time.
Britney Spears got up from the couch in confusion and went to the doorway to look out through the cat's eyes.
Two men in black suits were standing outside the door left and right, blocking the entrance and exit, and one of the men kept pulling his middle finger at the door. There is a knock on the door.
Who are these two people?
Britney could be sure that she would never know these two unfamiliar faces in her memory.
Perhaps there was no movement in the door for a long time, the two men in black silently glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and one took out a pitch-black object from his arms, inserted it into the keyhole of the door, and turned it.
Britney stared at the doorknob in horror. Watch it turn along the door, and it's gradually moving closely. It was slowly opened from the outside by something unknown.
Oh, my God!
Gasping for air, Britney hurriedly ran into the room, didn't even have time to get the materials in the study, rushed into a room and locked the wooden door, then opened the window in the room, and jumped into the courtyard behind the window.
She just jumped down. I faintly heard the sound of walking and searching in the living room, and it must have been those two people who broke into her house directly.
It's trespass!
However, Britney had no intention of intercepting or warning the other party, and the first thing she wanted to do next was to get out of here quickly.
But she couldn't drive. If the movement is too loud, it will definitely attract attention, and if the other party is coming in a car, she is not sure that she can escape such a tracking. Then the best way is to sneak into the yard of the neighbor's house from the yard silently while the two of them have not noticed her traces, and then hide quietly in the bushes, so that she will definitely not be able to find her traces.
Without any more time to think about it, Britney gritted her teeth, walked through the wall made by the bushes, entered the yard of the neighbor's house, looked in one direction, ran over and hid in the bushes.
Nervousness, fear, fear, all kinds of eroticism, all came out of my mind, and mixed together, forming a mixture that even Britney herself couldn't distinguish, holding her breath, quietly looking out through the cracks in the bushes.
This is someone else's yard, and of course there is no movement. No, she was hiding here, and she could still roughly hear the sound of the TV coming from the neighbor's living room, and the guy must have been left alone at home again, screaming his own heavy metal music.
Who the hell are those two people? Why would you enter your own house illegally? Did she offend someone?
These three questions came to Britney's mind for a moment, and it was obvious that an answer came to them.
The two men in black suits were almost 100% sure that they were the people sent by the Frost Group of Companies.
If Rio can't be contacted, it must also be related to the Frås Group, and she went to look for Rio, which naturally exposed the relationship with Rio, so if the Rio Group really has something unsightly, it will definitely send someone to arrest her to prevent any accidents.
Quickly sorting out the clues in this, Britney wanted to take out her mobile phone to call the police, and as soon as she reached into her pocket and felt empty, she suddenly dropped her phone on the sofa when she was flipping through the contacts just now.
Not good!
Britney's face turned pale, and her breathing became rapid.
The black screen of the mobile phone may not be noticed, but the laptop open in the study, as soon as someone enters, will immediately find the screen on, so that those two people, as long as they are not stupid, will know that she was at home before.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid...... They couldn't find me anyway. ”
Thinking that she was hiding in the bushes of her neighbor's house, Britney let go of her worries and forcibly reassured herself that she would be fine.
Hiding quietly in the bushes, not daring to move loudly and panting, Britney estimated that she had been hiding in it for more than half an hour, and then slowly crawled out of the bushes, panting slightly and waiting for the soft numbness in her legs to dissipate, and her ears were pricked up to listen to the movement in the next room.
I don't know if it's a little far away, or because the other party's activities are too weak, Britney listened carefully for a long time, and didn't feel the slightest difference.
No, she can't go over and take risks.
No one knew if the two men were still hiding in the room, just waiting for her to throw herself into the net.
Britney's cleverness was still a little bit there, she didn't stay here and wait, but lowered her body, walked through the neighbor's bushes, and then walked into the yard of another family, and so on several times in a row, Britney must have been quite far away, and immediately ran out of the community, called a taxi that came by, and said a destination.
In the dark of the night, the driver nodded, turned the steering wheel and drove to the other side of the street, arriving at Britney's destination half an hour later.
The neighborhood is clearly not as good as the neighborhood where Britney lives, and the people who live here are, as you can imagine, not happy.
However, Britney stood on the side of the street with mixed feelings, looked at the door of the house in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed, walked up and pressed the doorbell.
"Click......"
The door slowly opened, and a haggard woman stared at Britney Spears outside the door suspiciously: "Are you?" ”
"I'm sorry, but does Bernie live here?"
Seeing that it was a woman who opened the door, this situation was also a bit unexpected by Britney, and she asked this with a slight hesitation.
"Bernie? You're Bernie's ......."
"I'm his ex-wife."
"Ex-wife?"
The woman was surprised, and the doubts just now disappeared from her face in an instant, and were replaced by a vigilant look.
"Y-Why are you still looking for him?"
"I'm sorry, can you let me go in and talk?"
Britney said apologetically.
There was a clear look of reluctance on the woman's face, but perhaps she thought of something, and her grip on the door was released again, allowing Britney to enter.
The house was dilapidated on the inside and out of it, and as soon as Britney walked in, she found that there was nothing new, whether it was furniture or appliances, second-hand goods, or old things left over from the previous owner.
"You sit."
The woman didn't welcome Britney's arrival, so she sat down on the couch and eagerly asked, "What's the matter with you here?" ”
"Is Bernie here? I've got something to talk to him about. ”
Britney is a woman after all, and when she suddenly encountered such a thing, she was broken into her home by a stranger, and she couldn't care about the embarrassment, so she hurriedly put down the agreement of non-interference and ran to his ex-husband for help.
There are many reasons for divorce, and her ex-husband is so busy that he doesn't care about his family at all, but even so, Britney has to admit that Bernie, as an FBI agent, is extremely good.
However, Bernie is not a well-behaved person, and he gets along with his boss relatively stiffly, and he often does not get a promotion after a few years of hardship. In addition, as an FBI agent, he is on call 24 hours a day, and he has to work overtime at any time, and he often can't take care of Britney, not to mention that his average annual salary is only $67,506 because of the GS-11 level, and if you deduct 26% of the federal state and local taxes, you only get $49,954.
The relationship gradually fell out of favor because of time, and the money didn't make much, and Britney and Bernie had no children, so they simply divorced.
Since the divorce, the two have met once when they signed an agreement in this room, and it has been almost a year now, and she never expected that Bernie would find another woman so quickly. (To be continued......)
