Chapter72 Being Tracked
"Tell me more about Frank!” Ethan shifted the focus.
Evander then recounted information on Frank, which was mostly consistent with what Ethan had previously learned.
Frank was overall clever and calculating, not hesitating to use any means for his goals. One could say he was a formidable opponent!
Ethan pondered this information, realizing that a direct confrontation using Shine Group's current strength wasn’t entirely impossible, but it would undoubtedly take a long time!
To deal with QU Group in a short time, they needed to catch them off-guard!
Ethan contemplated for a moment and suddenly asked, “Doesn't he have a son?”
“Are you referring to Louis? He’s currently QU Group’s deputy general manager and had been raised by Frank to be his successor. He returned from studying abroad five years ago and has been working at the company ever since. He does have some skills since he studied business management, but based on what we know, he’s impetuous and self-centered!” Although Evander didn't know what Ethan was thinking, he still gave information about Louis.
“Louis, huh? That's a good name! I'm curious to learn if he's talented or just a pig?” Ethan burst out laughing after hearing Evander's evaluation. Judging from his manner and tone, Ethan had some plans for Louis.
Sarah's eyes immediately lit up with curiosity, “Where do you plan to start?”
Ethan looked at her with a mysterious smile and remained silent, which made Sarah playfully scold him for a moment, saying she’d yell at him on Chloe’s behalf!
An hour later, Evander left the hotel with his team, and Ethan and Sarah went back to their respective rooms to rest.
Returning to his room, Ethan called Chloe to let her know he had arrived and settled in.
After Chloe expressed her concern and asked a few more questions, she seemed hesitant to say something.
“Chloe, is there something you want to say?” he noticed something was off with her, so he asked.
“It's nothing... I’m just worried about you!” she hesitated for a moment and decided not to mention Sharon. After all, he was currently out of town and had important matters to attend to. She didn't want to distract him at this critical moment.
Ethan comforted her, assuring her that he’d take care of himself. Afterward, they ended the call.
Soon after, he called Jayden.
“Sir, have you arrived in Seattle?” Once the call connected, Jayden's voice came through the phone.
Ethan instructed straight to the point, “Yeah, I just got here. There's something I need you to help me with. Tomorrow, arrange a team to visit Seattle on behalf of the investment company. It’d be best to make some waves and get the media involved. Contact me once the team arrives so we can discuss the details!”
Jayden promptly agreed, “No problem, I'll arrange it right away!”
After preparing everything that needed to be done, Ethan finally lay down on the soft leather sofa as he thought of the next steps to take.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
After peering through the peephole and seeing Sarah outside, he opened the door. “Didn't we say we'd rest in our rooms? Is something the matter?”
Sarah smiled and explained, “I thought you might be bored, so I planned to take you out for a walk. Plus, I want to introduce you to a lovely girl!”
“What's going on? You don't need to drag me along to meet with a girl, do you?” Ethan was a little surprised and obviously hadn't figured out the situation yet.
“My classmate happens to be working in Seattle. Since we’re here, I thought we could meet up. Aren’t you happy that you can be the bodyguard for two beautiful ladies? Or are you afraid I'll report this to Chloe after I return?” Sarah casually explained, then teasingly joked.
“If that's the case, I'm even less interested in going! Why should I interfere with you and your classmate’s plans? Go keep your friend company and have fun!” Ethan was about to close the door, but Sarah stopped him by pressing him against it.
Sarah pouted and threatened fiercely, “If you don't go, I'll call Chloe and tell her you've been bullying me!”
“You're ruthless!” Ethan gritted his teeth and rolled his eyes, admitting defeat to this woman.
She gave him a look and said, “You know it’s true.”
When the two arrived at the hotel entrance, a white car was already parked there. In front of it was a girl in a dress. She looked somewhat delicate and although a bit thin, her figure was still average. In Ethan's eyes, she was beautiful, but she couldn’t be compared to Chloe and Sarah.
“Sarah, it's been so long!” Upon seeing Sarah, the girl immediately hugged her excitedly. The two women talked for a while, completely forgetting about Ethan nearby.
“Cough cough...” Ethan couldn't take it anymore and lightly coughed a couple of times, finally grabbing the two’s attention.
“I forgot to introduce him. This is Ethan, my friend,” Sarah quickly introduced Ethan before saying to him, “This is my college classmate, Mia.”
Ethan politely nodded and smiled at Mia, greeting her.
Mia looked at Sarah skeptically as she softly asked, “I remember you don't really hang out with men. Ethan must be more than just a regular friend, huh?”
Sarah explained in annoyance, “What nonsense are you spouting? He's my best friend's boyfriend, and he came to Seattle with me for business. My best friend entrusted me to take good care of him!”
“Woah! You're even doing something as exciting as seducing your best friend's boyfriend?” Mia teased, her face filled with excitement.
“Who's doing that? It's been two years, but you still haven't changed your unfiltered speaking habit. Do you want me to rip your mouth apart?” Sarah exclaimed angrily, as if she was about to attack. On the other hand, Mia simply stuck out her tongue and made a funny face. The two women immediately started playfully fighting.
Ethan was at a loss, realizing that his decision not to come out earlier was wise. Unfortunately, it was now too late to change it!
Finally, they got into the car. As for where to go, he naturally had no say in it. Moreover, it was his first time in Seattle, so he could only follow them. He sat in the back seat, closed his eyes, and listened to their conversation at the front.
They soon arrived at their destination, and Ethan realized they had come to a shopping center in the city. So, it was true; whenever two women got together, they would most likely go shopping. When it came to this activity, any other plans had to wait in line!
Just as they got out of the car, Ethan suddenly felt a sense of familiarity when he looked at a black car parked not far away.
He recalled that when the two women were playing around at the hotel entrance, he had seen a similar car parked at the roadside. However, he couldn't be certain if it was the same one.
Being cautious, he followed the two and walked into the mall’s lobby.
After the three entered, four young men in suits left the black car and quickly followed them into the mall.
