Chapter 186
Ben had his men conduct a thorough search in the area with the hospital as the center.
He told his men to search around holding Timothy’s photo and Immediately let him know if they found any man looking like Timothy.
Motivated by the big reward, someone brought over the news that he saw Susan and Timothy walking into a cafe
together.
Ben immediately rushed to the cafe.
But Susan and Timothy had left.
Ben wanted to ask the staff in the cafe about it.
However, before he could do that, a waiter tried to flee out of the cafe.
Ben frowned and immediately ordered his men to catch the waiter.
After a round of interrogation, Ben got a shocking piece of news.
Timothy had indeed brought Susan there before.
But things were far from that simple.
Timothy had bribed the waiters of the cafe in advance and hired some people to pretend to be customers there.
He gave each of them a big sum of money on condition that they installed an app on their phones.
The waiter had yet to delete the app.
Ben took a glance at the app and immediately knew what it was used for.
The app was a hacking program that could change the original backstage data into the one that was set
beforehand by the app.
Ben opened the search engine, and after a quick glance, his face turned grim.
The webpage showed the last search results.
“Ben accused his ex–wife of stealing business information“.
“Ben and Monica remarried and held a grand and enviable wedding“.
“What the fuck are these?” Ben cursed silently.
He couldn’t imagine how Susan felt and what she would do when she saw the news after spending a few months
in seclusion.
Ben’s eyes were filled with anger.
“Timothy Leen!
Timothy Leen!
How dare you!” he thought.
Ben had always thought that Timothy was an upright man and never made things difficult for him.
He didn’t expect Timothy to have done such despicable things.
The thought that Susan would misunderstand him and refuse to see him again because of the news broke his
heart.
Ben raised his head and looked at the waiter with a ferocious expression.
“I… I’ve already told you everything I know,” the waiter said in a panic.
Ben stepped forward expressionlessly and kicked him hard in the chest.
The waiter was kicked away.
He struggled to his feet and asked fearfully, “What are you trying to do in broad daylight?”
Ben walked over and looked at him coldly. “Tell me where did Timothy Leen take Susan to.”
“I don’t know,” the waiter replied in terror.
“You will know,” Ben took but a dagger and spun it in his hands with a stern face.
The waiter went pale and replied, “I… really don’t know. I shouldn’t have lied to her with fake news. You can call the police, and I’ll face the legal consequences.
It was not a serious crime to lie to others with fake news.
Considering the large sum of money he got, the waiter thought the legal consequences were totally acceptable.
Ben sneered and placed the dagger against the waiter’s neck. “I certainly will call the police, but what you do next will determine whether I will let you live before you get to the police station.”
The waiter’s face turned even paler. “… What… what do you want? You don’t dare to kill me in broad daylight. You don’t.”
“I don’t?” Ben let out a cold laugh, his eyes bloodshot, making him look like a devil from hell. “A man with a sense won’t, but I will because I am just a madman now. A madman is afraid of nothing.”
“They won’t watch you kill me.” The waiter looked at the other people present with begging eyes.
But these people all shifted their gazes away as if they couldn’t see him.
The waiter was desperate.
“I’ll count down from three. Tell me everything you know or I’ll go to hell with you.” Ben’s voice was still calm, but the waiter was somehow scared by it.
The waiter trembled. “No, you definitely wouldn’t dare to kill me.
Ben ignored him and counted lightly. “Three…
‘Two…
‘One…”
Ben raised the dagger expressionlessly and stabbed toward the waiter’s main artery on the neck fast and ruthlessly. It seemed that he didn’t hold back any strength.
The waiter was panic–stricken. He screamed and said, “I have some other information to provide.”
Ben stopped when the dagger touched the waiter’s skin, leaving a slight bleeding cut on it.
‘Go ahead.” Ben was expressionless.
The waiter said in a panic, “That man told me if Mrs. Landor agreed to leave with him after seeing the fake news, it would be great. But if she refused to do so, then we had to take her away forcibly.
“Mrs. Landor was mad after seeing the fake news, but she insisted on seeing you and confirming it in person.” The
waiter looked at Ben’s face in fear as he spoke.
“Go on.” Ben pushed the dagger harder against the waiter’s neck.
The cut became deeper.

The waiter said in fear, “So we carried out Plan B. We knocked her out with the drug we prepared in advance and brought her into a car. That man and she left twenty minutes ago.”
“Knock her out!
“How dare they do that to her?” Ben thought in anger.
He looked murderous.
“I’ve told you everything,” the waiter was scared by Ben’s expression and said in terror.
I’ve
At that moment, he was filled with regret.
Everyone in Coraland, including the waiter, knew the story between Ben and Susan.
When the waiter saw the fabricated news, he recognized Susan.
But he still decided to take the risk for the money.
He never thought that Ben would and find him as soon as he got the money.
Ben sneered and took back his dagger. “Don’t worry. People like you should suffer in hell, but I won’t dirty my hands ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
to kill you.”
“Yes, yes, don’t dirty your hands,” the waiter said in a panic. He frantically urged the other people present by saying, “Hurry up and call the police. Tell them that I committed a crime and let them arrest me.”
He now felt that the prison was the safest place in the world.
Ben ignored him and went to the police station in person.
Not long after that, the town was cordoned off.
There were police officers at every intersection of the town, and no vehicles were allowed to enter or leave the
town.
The villagers were angry about this.
Ben then announced that he would invest 200 million dollars in the town and build roads there to make transportation more convenient. He also promised that he would help build infrastructures there and
provide at least 30,000 jobs.
In an instant, the villagers‘ anger turned into joy.
As the town was remote and backward, no business investment had come there.
Now the richest man in their country promised to help them generously and provide them with 30,000 jobs.
The permanent residents in the town were just around 10,000.
Their lives would be greatly improved with Ben’s help.
Thus, they had no complaints and were willing to help look for Timothy and Susan.
Everyone in the town started searching around for Timothy holding his picture.
