114 diamonds
The bullet burrowed through Adrian's jaw and stayed in his head.
With a hint of reluctance, he closed his eyes.
From his series of emotions, Ethan can tell that the real Mia is not the short-haired woman with black hair who was shot and killed.
Otherwise, Adrian should have been relieved after Joe was gone, rather than looking at Mary with resentment.
This proves that the hatred in his heart has not been eliminated, and the energy of the rich man does not convince Ethan.
Mary had never been in contact with Adrian, and the only explanation was that she had been in Adrian's sight all along.
Ethan deduces that Mary is the real Mia.
Adrian's original plan was to make something happen to Mary and Joe so that he could vent his hatred.
But because of his own involvement, he could no longer do anything to Mary.
So Adrian decisively launched the second plan, creating the illusion that Joe had killed his daughter with his own hands, so that Joe broke himself off in remorse and despair.
Adrian, on the other hand, plans to tell Mary and the basin the truth after Joe breaks herself, so that she will live in pain for the rest of her life.
Ethan sensed something and shot Adrian decisively.
There are some things that will be left to pass away with the wind, and there is no need for Mary to know them.
Ethan stood up and walked over to Chack, who smiled at him with the only breath he had left, tilted his head and completely lost his breath.
Joe stared ahead, and not far from the ground, there was a picture floating on the ground, and Amanda was still so sweet and moving on the photo.
I don't know if in the last moments of Joe's life, he regretted the way he handled this matter back then.
Ethan sighed and walked over to Mary.
Mary crouched in the corner, tears streaming down her face, wondering why the lives of the few people who had been alive just now were lying on the ground.
Ethan reached out and pulled Mary up and wiped away tears for her.
"Let's go, leave them alone, we're going to keep going."
When Mary had recovered her strength, Ethan walked over to the suitcase, grabbed the diamonds inside, put them back in the small black bag, and threw them to Mary.
Mary hurriedly took it, "What should we do with these diamonds?" ”
"It's all ownerless, you take it first."
Ethan rummaged through the cabinets, tossed out all the papers in the archives, and collapsed them on the floor.
Mary stood in the doorway with an almanac as Ethan walked over.
Above is a group photo, Joe, Chuck, and Amanda have a green face, and they all smile happily at the camera.
Ethan lit the cigarette that Mary had handed him with a lighter, took a puff of the cigarette, and then put the lighter on top of the yearbook, and the flames gradually engulfed the people in the photograph.
Mary could not stand the heat, and threw the burning almanac to the ground, and the fire slowly spread and illuminated their faces.
Ethan put his arm around Mary's shoulders and said, "They are all people who can't get rid of the past and live in the past, things started here, let them end here." ”
Back in the car, Mary asked Ethan in a low mood, "Where are we going next?" ”
"Go see a friend of mine, this stuff needs to be dealt with."
Ethan tapped the diamond in her hand, then turned the wheel to make a phone call.
"Who is it?" Jabber's tired voice came from the other end of the phone.
Ethan glanced at Mary, "It's me, are you free now, let's meet." ”
"Shet, I thought you were dead?"
Jaber said in surprise, and then gave Ethan an address.
After he hung up the phone, Mary hurriedly stuffed the diamond over, "Take it, it's too valuable, I'm scared to take it." ”
Ethan was not polite, and took the diamond and stuffed it into his pocket.
It wasn't long before he came to a half-old apartment building and parked his car to see that his Dodge Challenger was not far away.
Following the information provided by Jaber, they went up the stairs to the third floor and knocked on the door.
"You bastard, what have you been doing these two days?" Jabber opened the door in his beach pants and a dressing gown.
When he saw a woman standing behind Ethan, he took off his sunglasses and looked at Mary.
"This is Mary, Mary, this is Jaber."
Ethan introduced the two of them to each other, then pushed the door in, and Mary nodded to Jabber and hurriedly followed.
The room here is almost the same as the previous one, and the goth man is actually there.
Mary saw the goth man and slowed down.
She probably knew that Jaber was the one who provided them with transportation and firearms, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Ethan pulled Mary to sit down on the couch in the middle of the living room and patted her on the back.
"Don't worry, although Jabber is a jerk, he is still a good guy overall."
"Fakyu, you're a bastard."
Without hesitation, Jabber gave him the middle finger, "You bastard took my equipment and didn't give me a penny." ”
After speaking, Jaber handed Mary a bottle of mineral water.
"Don't be restrained, just treat it as your own home, this bastard sitting next to you saved my life."
Mary took the mineral water, "Really?" That's a coincidence, he saved my life. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Mary relaxed.
Ethan fumbled around his body for a while, placing the four pistols and Corolla's car keys hidden on the table.
Jaber winked at the goth man, who went back to his room and loaded his pistol with a bag, then picked up the car keys and left.
"He's been with me for several years, don't worry, everything is taken to be destroyed, and there will be no end to it."
Garber sat down across from Ethan, "Can you tell me what happened?" ”
Ethan shook his head, "There's no need to talk about this. ”
He reached into his arms and pulled out the cash he had picked up last time in Channing's office.
"The cost of the car and the gun, there is about 30,000 here, it should be enough, right?"
"That's enough."
Garber was not polite, picked up the money and counted it, then stuffed it into his pocket.
Although everyone is friends, we still have to figure it out in terms of business, and we still have to pay off the fees that should be given, otherwise, next time we will find someone else to help, and it will be difficult for others to help or not.
Jabber is not a stingy person, he took Ethan to a nightclub two days ago, and it cost him thousands of dollars, and he didn't show any mercy.
After he put the money away, Ethan took out a small black cloth bag from his arms and carefully placed it on the table.
Looking at Ethan's cautious appearance, Jaber also came to the spirit.
"What's in here, I've never seen you like this?"
Ethan smiled, and under Jaber's curious gaze, he opened the mouth of the bag, picked up the heavy small cloth bag and poured it into his hand, and more than a dozen diamonds slipped down the mouth of the bag and fell into his hand.
"It's all in this little bag, and it's worth about $20 million." Ethan, with Jabber's stunned expression, put the diamond back in the bag.
"Who are you robbing here?"
Garber picked up the bottle on the table, uncorked it, took a big sip, and looked at him with a grim expression.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not robbing anyone." Ethan glanced at him and continued:
"It was just an accident."
"Why didn't this accident happen to me?" Jabber looked at him with an unhappy expression.
Ethan smiled and said dryly:
"At that time, the situation was urgent, don't talk nonsense, I know that you have a wide range of channels, and you can help us clean up these diamonds."
