Chapter 758
Patrick looked at this strange city where people lived more leisurely when compared to the people of
the crowded and prosperous A City
At 5 p.m., the sun gradually set in the west. Patrick got out of the taxi in a quiet and green place and
walked alone on the slightly deserted street.
A few students stayed at school on Saturday. Patrick glanced at the school gate of the standard public
high school, with a football field and a few teaching buildings. The guard at the door was not wearing a
uniform, probably an aged man hired nearby
Occasionally, a few students who stayed in school could be seen playing in it.
In Patrick’s opinion, such an ordinary and even shabby campus was not worth much attention.
Patrick called Derek who said he was near the school.
Patrick felt that he and Derek were friends, but he knew very little about Derek’s private life. Derek had
a unique way of thinking and excelled in many fields. Patrick was very happy to talk to Derek since
talented people like Derek were rare.
Patrick only knew that although Derek would also go to different cities, he seemed to have special
feelings for C City and often stayed in this place for some reason.
Patrick, tall and straight, was only wearing a thin white shirt and black trousers. He looked outstanding
and strolled along the street. From time to time, men and women passed by and looked at him
curiously.
Patrick had long been used to these stares. He put on his headphones and looked at the slowly setting
sun at the end of the road. Walking in such a strange city, he felt inexplicably relaxed when listening to
the music of a violin.
Although Patrick looked straight ahead of the road, he did not know what he was thinking at this
moment. On such a quiet street, tall trees on both sides sprouted buds.
As he walked, he listened to the melodious sound of the violin in his headphones and thought.
It was quiet and relaxing at sunset. Suddenly, a figure jumped down from the big tree right next to
Patrick.
Patrick was listening to music when a woman bumped into him in the dim light of dusk. He was
confused.
Patrick leaned back and fell, hurting his back and the back of his head.
“Hey, don’t you watch where you’re going?”
The woman on top of Patrick was almost unharmed and quickly got up. It was clearly her fault, but now
she
complained first.
She ran away without waiting for him to speak.
This was the first time Patrick had encountered such a thing. He didn’t want to admit that he was
scared at that
time.
He didn’t expect to meet a woman in this way in the quiet street and thought she didn’t do it on purpose
because he felt the woman was also in a panic when she leaned over him.
Patrick felt embarrassed and humiliated. He should have been angry, but he was not as angry as he
thought. He got up from the street. In the distance, the woman was gradually running away with hurried
steps.
It was obvious that she was just bluffing.
Patrick looked at the figure more carefully and seriously until it disappeared at the corner in front of
him.
The atmosphere at sunset around Patrick was so quiet and peaceful. The woman suddenly appeared
and disappeared, which made him feel it was a dream.
Patrick stood there for a long time. His earphones, which had fallen to the ground, were still playing soft
music.
“She’s a student of this school.” He recognized her school uniform.
Patrick could not explain why he looked at her so carefully, including her face, her eyes, her lips, and
her body.
At 10:45 pm, Lucy found Patrick in an ordinary bar in C City.
“Gary broke his leg. He has asked Alan to take over the investigation. I have also encountered some
things here.” When Lucy saw him, she cut to the chase.
Patrick liked subordinates to report to him quickly and succinctly, so Lucy had developed the habit of
not talking nonsense over the years.
“Boss!” Lucy felt that Patrick was a little absent-minded today. She patted the table hard and stared at
him with her eyes wide open. “What happened?”
Lucy felt that something big might have happened and couldn’t help but get nervous.
Patrick paused and then looked at her.
“You guys arrange those things.” Patrick was as cold as ever.
But after knowing him for so many years, Lucy felt that Patrick was too weird today and suspected that
he hadn’t heard her words.
Patrick asked the bartender to make a dozen cocktails that took up an entire table. The colors of the
cocktails looked exquisite, but it was not Patrick’s style. He usually did not like to drink these wines that
tasted sweet and
Sour
Patrick just looked at the cocktails and didn’t drink.
Lucy felt more and more strange.
She knew that Patrick’s father had passed away a few days ago, but she did not think that this would
make Patrick so abnormal. According to her analysis, Victor had suffered from the pain of illness for a
long time, so it was a good thing that he was able to die. How could Patrick be sad? His heart was as
cold as a machine.
as as
“Boss, you came to C City to find Derek of the Fisher family?”
Lucy carefully sat in the chair opposite Patrick. Seeing that he did not deny it, she tried to fish for more
information.
Lucy had learned that Patrick wanted to cooperate with Derek, the illegitimate son of the Fisher family
on highly profitable projects. Derek was said to be very smart and was appreciated by Patrick.
Patrick paused for a moment when he heard Lucy’s words and had forgotten to look for Derek.
Ever since he had met that woman in the afternoon, he had been thinking about her.
It wasn’t because the woman was so beautiful. Many women were more beautiful and sexier than her.
Patrick couldn’t figure out why he kept thinking about her. He didn’t like this feeling. The woman’s
sudden appearance from the big tree caught him off guard. This kind of uncontrollable thing made him
very uncomfortable
The more he thought about the thing, the clearer the woman’s expression became in his mind. Patrick
was very novelbin
upset.
Lucy observed Patrick’s expression very carefully and thought something bad happened!
