Chapter 948 She Was Kidnapped
Mr. Gill, on the other hand, discovered that his grandson and in-law were friendly and well-liked by everyone after checking with everyone they knew.
Even their business rivals applauded them highly. They couldn't possibly offend anyone.
It seemed even more unlikely that they would have enemies who would raise such a commotion to kill them.
It wasn't until then that he felt a chill on his back. As a result, he'd devised a strategy.
However, at that time, he was only suspicious and lacked solid evidence.
It was until he discovered the car repair shop.
His grandson went to a car repair shop three days before the accident to have his car repaired. Devon was the person in charge of repairing the car for them at the time.
Devon was about fifty years old that year. Because of his extraordinary repairing skills, he was very close to some of the customers. Everyone was eager to have him fix the car.
Therefore, his grandson and in-law went to Devon after hearing good reviews about him. They intended to address the engine problem.
Devon readily agreed. Sure enough, he got the issue fixed promptly. When the couple examined the car, there was no problem at all.
They were satisfied and soon drove away after paying the bill.
At that time, they were having a holiday. They were going to visit Mr. Gill, who was living in the countryside.
How could they have predicted that something would happen to the car on the way...
Despite this, the police had also investigated the repair shop following the event. However, due to the lack of evidence and the car had been burned, they couldn't conclude anything. As a result, this accident yielded no conclusive results.
However, Mr. Gill was certain that something had been done to their car.
Because when he tracked them all the way to the car repair shop and saw Devon, he understood everything.
The genetic thing was undoubtedly the most magnificent in the world. It was as if a person who had been dead for decades had suddenly resurfaced and stood in front of him.
It wasn't until that time that he understood the baby in the swaddling clothes hadn't died.
He not only did not die, but he also managed to become the most well-known and expert car mechanic in the neighborhood.
He had been dormant in the sea of humans for so many years, not because he had forgotten his hatred, but because he was waiting for the right moment.
Now, the time had come.
Not knowing his identity, Mr. Gill's grandson took the initiative to hand over his car.
So how could he miss such a good opportunity?
As a result, he discreetly tampered with the car's brakes.
The couple eventually died, just as he had predicted.
He had finally avenged his parents' blood feud.
Although he did not directly murder Mr. Gill, he was aware that this was more painful than killing him.
Later, when Mr. Gill found him, he didn't hide. Instead, he confessed to being the murderer.
At the time, he thought Mr. Gill would kill him directly.
But in the end, Mr. Gill didn't.
After all, Mr. Gill was getting on age and had been condemning himself for making rash decisions the past few years.
He had thought about it countless times and wished to atone for his transgressions, but he never imagined that the final means of atonement would be that.
Maybe this was God's will. Mr. Gill had caused Devon to lose his parents, so Devon made him lose his grandson and in-law.
Perhaps he remembered his long-lost pal, and that horrific night, Mr. Gill eventually let Devon go.
After that, he brought his grandson's only daughter, Lily, back to the village and began living a low-key life.
This lasted for eighteen years.
Life had been relatively tranquil for the past eighteen years, and Devon had never appeared.
He used to think that this was the end of the matter.
However, he didn't expect Devon to pass away a few months ago.
Devon had been dead for several months when he received this news. He was still shocked at the time, but he didn't think as to why. He regarded it as an accident.
But a few days later, Lily disappeared.
To be more precise, she was not missing but kidnapped.
Sean, Devon's son, was the one who kidnapped her.
In fact, Sean was aware of Devon and the Gill's Family's feud. Somehow, Sean believed Devon's death was Mr. Gill's vengeance.
Thus, he kidnapped Lily and compelled him to hand over Jade of Heaven.
Mr. Gill had no idea how he found out about Jade of Heaven, but Lily meant everything to him. They had been so dependent on each other for so long that he couldn't leave her alone.
As a result, he planned to contact Sean in secret and figure out how to get Lily back.
After listening to his account, Clarissa and the rest fell into silence.
They had not expected the truth to be as shocking.
Afterward, Clarissa looked at Mr. Gill and asked in a low voice, "Is the jade still in your hands?"
Mr. Gill nodded.
This time, they all understood why he refused to hand over the jade.
Jara then suggested solemnly, "Why don't we do it this way? You give the jade to us, and we'll help you save your great-granddaughter. What do you think?"
Mr. Gill scoffed as he gazed up at him, "Won't I be able to save her on my own if things are that simple? The man hid Lily, and even after a long search, I can't find her, let alone save her."
Everyone kept quiet for a moment after he finished his sentence.
"Was it Sean who came to see you just now?" Clarissa inquired.
Mr. Gill nodded.
"How did he contact you? Is it through a phone call?"
"No. Every time he wanted to find me, he'd have someone leave a note under the stone behind my house."
Clarissa was perplexed when she heard this. "Do you have any doubts about him? Nevertheless, depending on your skill, catching him should not be tough. His life will be in your hands at that point. What makes you think he'll refuse to let Lily go?"
Mr. Gill then laughed mockingly at himself.
"Of course, I know. But Sean is determined. He mentioned that if he dies, Lily will die as well. How can I allow that to happen? So, I decided to give him the jade after you guys leave. But I didn't expect you all to return so quickly."
Pressing her lips, Clarissa then added, "Mr. Gill, to be honest, we're going to get the jade no matter what. Lily's life is important, and so is Emmeline's. We don't want you to give up Lily to save Emmeline, but we hope you can agree on a win-win solution. What do you think?"
