Billionaire's Reborn Baby
Chapter 480 Lie

The man hung up and looked at the girl who was crying out of fear and panic.

"Blame yourself for being unlucky." he sighed and patted on the girl's cheek, "Wise up, girl. Never ask strangers for directions. You don't know if they are bad or not."

Seemed to be amused by his own words, he laughed for quite a while. He was in such a good mood because he would receive a large sum of money. He wiped the table and took out two stools for the coming guests without noticing that the girl trapped under the stool was merely crying instead of struggling.

Joe, Ferne's driver and messenger for Noah, had already climbed over the wall and got into the house with his men.

Suddenly, the girl abruptly began to struggle. The man who was cleaning the table came over and said impatiently, "What are you doing?!"

The girl suddenly raised her leg and kicked the man in the crotch. As the man shouted in pain, the plainclothesmen outside immediately rushed in and surrounded them. In the meanwhile, Joe grabbed the man and pressed the man against the ground, handcuffing him.

The girl who had been trapped under the stool was now rid of the stinky rag in her mouth. She said calmly, "His accomplices will be here soon."

Joe patted her shoulder, "Well done."

The man finally realized that he had been tricked!

Just as he was about to speak, his mouth was stuffed by the same rag that he had stuffed into the girl's mouth. He looked up indignantly and saw the girl squatting in front of him with her index finger poking him in the forehead. She asked, "How does it taste?"

"Where is Merinda?" Joe asked.

The smelly rag was taken off. The man shook his head, "I don't know."

"Really?" Joe kicked him fiercely, "You'd better tell me the truth!"

"It's true! I really don't know. I'm just a nobody. I have no idea where Merinda is." the man burled, trying to ease the pain in his crotch.

"He might be right. But the person he just called must know it." said the girl. Her name was Joy Lunn, the younger sister of Joe. Though she was only fourteen years old, she behaved bravely and cautiously for her age. She had been determined to be a policewoman since childhood. So, when Joe's superior wanted a junior high school student to act as bait, she recommended herself. With no one else more suitable for the role, she was assigned the mission. Luckily everything went smoothly.

Joe instructed, "Alright, bring them inside. Everyone, get ready!"

"Yes, sir!"

They instantly dispersed. When it was getting dark, they finally hear someone parking at the door. Then, they saw two men walking in, one of whom was Wangle, and the other had a face full of pockmarks. If Noah and Christy were here, they would recognize Pockmark as the advocator of the group.

Wangle and Pockmark talked as they walked in without noticing the tense atmosphere in the room. They pushed open the door and sat on the stools. "Anyone here? We brought you pig-headed meat!" Wangle and Pockmark were carrying meat, with peanut and beer in their hands. They wanted to have a celebration here tonight.

However, as soon as they sat down, all the plainclothesmen in the room rushed out and said, "Don't move!"

Pockmark and Wangle were pressed against the table before running away. They cursed through gritted teeth, "Vatsa Cabot! How dare you trick me?"

Vatsa was caught inside and there was a rag stuffed in his mouth. He could not say a word.

"I can't believe you're with the cops?!" Wangle continued to scold angrily, "Fuck you! How dare you to double-cross me?!"

Pockmark cursed with dialects so fast that no one could understand.

"Stay still!" Joe handcuffed them and searched out their car keys and mobile phones. He threw them on the table and indicated his men with one look.

"Which of you knows where Merinda is?" Joe asked.

Wangle said in despise, "I might be unlucky today, but I would rather end up in jail than tell you where Merinda is! You're welcome to charge me with whatever crime you can think of." Pockmark sneered, "I don't know. And even if I do, I won't tell you."

Joe stood up and walked directly into the inner room where Vatsa was still silenced by a rag. He could only let out a whimpering sound.

"You're aware that those two people outside would like to kill you immediately, aren't you?" said Joe, "You still have a chance to atone for your sins if you're willing to cooperate. But if you insist, don't regret." Vatsa didn't know what he was going to do. He struggled violently but in vain.

Joe turned around and shouted, "Vatsa says he knows where Merinda is. Wangle and Pockmark are of no use to us now. Send them to the police station. Vatsa is smart. He knows that he could get three years off his sentence as long as he tells us Merinda's whereabouts..."

Outside, Wangle and Pockmark exchanged a glance. They were all extremely surprised, "It's impossible! He doesn't know where Merinda is!"

Then they realized what really mattered was not whether Vatsa knew or how, but the fact they could reduce their sentence by three years if they could tell the police Merinda's whereabouts!

They were already in the hands of the police. They were doomed to get punished by the law. However, they could be commuted by three years if they gave Merinda away.

Joe continued to talk to Vatsa but in fact to Wangle and Pockmark, "Life in prison won't be easy. But you can rest assured. I'll make sure you are taken care of and free of trouble."

Wangle and Pockmark had been to prison before. They both knew what it was like in the prison. After all, they had suffered from it. Therefore, their eyes immediately lit up upon hearing there would be cops taking care of them.

Wangle shouted to Joe, "Vatsa is lying! He doesn't know at all!"

Vatsa couldn't say anything with the rag in his mouth. He just stared at Joe with his eyes wide open and whined from time to time.

Pockmark agreed with Wangle, "He's right! Vatsa doesn't know where Merinda is! He must be lying!"

Joe impatiently waved at the plainclothes standing aside, "Hurry up and take them to the police station. Don't let them stay here. Vatsa will tell us everything we need to know. He said that Merinda is still in City Y..."

"Bullshit!" Wangle shouted as he was pulled out by the plainclothes, "Merinda has already left City Y!"

Seeing Wangle confessing, Pockmark got anxious and said, "That's true! Merinda is not in City Y anymore. She is in Green Lake Town!"

Joe glanced at Pockmark and looked at the room with a puzzled expression, "How can I know which one of you is lying?"

Both Pockmark and Wangle regarded Vatsa as a traitor. Besides, they were swayed by Joe's promise of sentence reduction and special care in prison. They thought that it wouldn't make a difference if they confessed. The cops might not be able to catch Merinda after all. But they would enjoy special treatment by the police.

Unexpectedly, Joe picked up the phones of the two people on the table and handed them to them, "Then someone must call Merinda. I need to hear Merinda's voice before I can be sure that you're telling the truth."0000
