Chapter 689

Elizabeth trembled slightly, and with a sweeping kick, she struck the man directly. As the man exclaimed in surprise, Elizabeth’s right fist had already landed on his face. The man spun around and nearly crashed into a tree. Elizabeth grabbed his arm from behind, swiftly pinning both his arms, and then forcefully pushed him to the ground. The man fell to the ground. Elizabeth quickly removed his hat and mask. It was an unfamiliar face. It seemed that he was forced into doing this, judging by his expression. And his leg was still bleeding, making Elizabeth feel a shiver in her heart.

“Who sent you?” Elizabeth asked directly. She knew it was Esme, but she still hoped to hear the name from his mouth so she could go directly to Esme for revenge. But he shook his head, unwilling to speak.

“Let’s not make it harder for each other. Tell me who sent you, and I’ll let you go, how about that?” Elizabeth’s voice was cold. He still didn’t trust her. So Elizabeth was even more certain that this was his first time doing something like this. Plus, he was very uneasy. “Esme?” Elizabeth had to ask herself. He immediately shook his head and said, “No.” He answered so decisively, it seemed like it really wasn’t her.

Elizabeth squinted. “Man or woman?” He moved his lips. “I was just given a task from above; I really don’t know. I just wanted to… make some money, please don’t ask me anymore.” Elizabeth was silent. “So what was the task?” She asked again. “To teach you a lesson,” he said bluntly.

Elizabeth laughed out loud. She thought to herself, What he did, just for teaching me a lesson? Not for my life?

Then Blair made a sound from the… Elizabeth looked at her. She then walked over and found that her hands were tied. The man was quite quick; he could easily subdue people. In that case, he didn’t seem like a complete novice. Elizabeth tore the tape off Blair’s mouth. Blair gasped for air and then cursed, “Do you know who I am? How dare you hurt me!”

Elizabeth sneered and thought, Does it really matter who Blair is? Those bad guys don’t care at all. In their eyes, even the law doesn’t exist!

“Get out.” Elizabeth’s gaze swept to the man, letting him go. The man was a bit surprised. “You’re letting me go?” “Yes,” Elizabeth said. The man didn’t dare to speak, swallowed hard, and then ran away.

Blair laughed. “Elizabeth, you’re really merciful! You actually let him go?” Elizabeth didn’t say anything, but quickly went into the surveillance room. She pulled up the surveillance footage at the door and saw the man getting into a black car, and she noted the license plate number. Then she sent the license plate number to Felix, asking him to quickly come over and follow the car. For she had to find out who was behind this! Besides Esme, who else would hate her so much as to cause her trouble?

Elizabeth was about to leave when she saw Blair sitting quietly in a chair. Blair, who had been so arrogant just now, was now quiet and trembling a bit. Elizabeth raised an eyebrow and asked, “Scared of it?”
