Chapter 408 Kidnapping
The restaurant is the best restaurant in the city, with elegant music, well-behaved waiters, and equally elegant diners, no matter from the restaurant's decoration and restaurant atmosphere, it shows that this is a high-end restaurant.
Olivia talked with Bernard in a very low voice, and they kept their cheeks close to each other from time to time, as if two people were whispering. Even so, Bernard didn't snub Zoe, but rather From time to time, I would chat with Zoe about topics that Zoe might find interesting.
On the streets of Durham at night, the lights are not as dazzling as those in big cities, but they have a hazy and tranquil mood. There are people strolling past on the street from time to time, or couples leaning on each other, whispering and laughing at each other.
Coming out of the restaurant, Zooey took a look and was about to call a taxi by herself. But Bernard came over and smiled at Zooey: "I plan to go to the movies with Olivia, I think you can go with us! In this way, there will be more topics to talk about. "
"No, I plan to go to school!" Zoe rejected Bernard's invitation with a smile, and then looked around to see if a taxi was coming. Taxis in Durham are not very easy to hail, even most of the time you have to book. The probability of stopping a car on the road is relatively small, but Zooey still has hope and gives it a try. After all, there is still a long distance from the restaurant to the school.
"If you don't mind, I can send you to school!" Bernard said, he saw Zoe's difficulty, "Don't refuse me, this is what I should do. I can't put you Leave it here and leave it alone.”
"Zoe—" Olivia also said, "Let him take you there, anyway, there is no time for the movie."
Zooey looked around. There are indeed no taxis, and occasionally one is full of people, and there are no empty cars at all. She could only shrug her shoulders and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, as long as you don't blame me for interrupting your date!" Zooey agreed to Olivia's proposal.
Zooey sat in, and Bernard smiled and said to Olivia beside the street: "You can wait for me in the cafe, and I will be back soon. I don't think you want to run back and forth. Your dress is beautiful!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you!" Olivia shrugged her shoulders. She originally wanted to be with Bernard. But since he said that, it's hard for him to say anything to refute. This is too unladylike, and it will make Bernard unhappy. So she nodded. Agreed, "Come here early, I'll wait for you!"
"I will! We still have a date to continue!" Bernard's smile and words reassured Olivia a lot, she obediently waved to Bernard and Zoe on the side of the road, watching the car gently It slid away, blended into the night, and could no longer see its shadow, and then walked to a cafe on the side of the road.
Sitting in the car and facing Bernard two by two.
Zooey felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and she looked embarrassed. Then he dryly found some topics to say: "Olivia is beautiful!"
"Really? Maybe, yes, it's very beautiful!" Bernard looked out of the window absently, and when he heard Zooey's words, he came back to his senses and stared at Zooey carefully. Changing from his previous polite and chatty appearance, he just stared at Zooey, as if he wanted to find something on Zooey's face.
"Uh, Mr. Bernard, I'm sorry, may I ask if there is something... dirty on my face?" Zooey was a little embarrassed by his look, and she couldn't help but stretched out her hand to touch it in embarrassment. Touching his face, his face was slightly red and hot.
"No, don't call me Mr. Bernard!" Bernard shook his head, then looked at Zoe and suddenly showed a mysterious smile, "You can call me Mr. Modine. That's my last name, this is The Modine family name, it's always been that way from Miami to Durham. It's a respectable name.
"Mr. Modine!" Zooey was taken aback for a moment, and then her face changed. She stretched out her hand and put Fan on the handle of the car door. She suddenly thought of something, and her face gradually became pale.
"You must have thought of something, didn't you?" Bernard seemed to be admiring his prey, "Bernard Modine is my full name, and I have the same name as Grayson Modine." surname, but I am a few years older than him, although... I am not the same parent as him, but I am his cousin."
Zooey tried to pull the door handle a few times, but the door was closed tightly and could not be opened. She suddenly had a feeling of being calculated by someone. Yes, she is being calculated by someone now. Zooey just didn't want to speculate on her friend. If it is not bad, Olivia is just being used by this man That's all!
"Don't bother, you can't open the car door unless I change my mind and let you get out of the car!" Bernard smiled slightly, shook his head, and took out the cup and wine bottle from the car refrigerator. The label is h. c. d, he poured a glass of wine and handed it to Zooey, "Would you like a glass?"
Zoe bit her lip and shook her head. She stared at Bernard, her heart was full of anger, but now she was also full of helplessness. She was held hostage like this. She wanted to yell loudly, but look at the inside of the car It is estimated that even if you yell, people outside will not be able to hear it, not to mention that the car is still driving, so it is not easy for people outside to hear it.
"Very good wine." Bernard retracted the poured glass, then took a sip and smiled at Zooey, "I have to admire your boyfriend's wine making skills, this is my It's the best wine I've ever had. I believe you haven't drank less, right? You're right not to feel rare!"
"Are you taking hostages? Are you planning to make Zhen compromise?" Zoe said in a mocking tone, "Is this what the Modine family does? So dirty, despicable and shameless?"
"Haha, you can't piss me off!" Bernard laughed twice and shook his head, "The Modine family has never thought that their family is very clean and clean. If it is really spread like this outside, That must be because they don't know the real Modine family at all."
After the initial panic, Zooey calmed down instead. She's not someone who hasn't seen big winds and waves. After going through so much with Zhen Fan, she has become much calmer than before. She retracted her hand, then looked at him calmly: "tell me. What do you want?"
"What do you want?" Bernard Modine laughed, "Be my girlfriend!"
"Girlfriend? Aren't you Olivia's boyfriend?" Zooey smiled slightly, then nodded as if she had suddenly realized, "By the way, the people in the Modine family are so despicable and shameless, so... This sentence is a waste of my question, I agree with your point of view. People outside really don’t understand your Modine family, just like many people didn’t understand Grayson Modine at the beginning!”
"Tell me, I just want your answer. As for the process of answering, I don't need it!" Bernard leaned back comfortably on the seat, with his hands outstretched, holding the edge of the seat on both sides.
"If I agree to you, you will let me go. Or if I don't agree to you, you will kill me, won't you?" Zooey also looked at him with a mocking smile.
"No, I don't need to kill you, I just need to bring you with me, and let your boyfriend know that...the Chinese named Fan Zhen. Is he? He is very good, but...you are His only weakness!" Bernard shook his head. There was a "tsk tut" sound.
"Shameless!" Zooey finally became angry again, because he mentioned Zhen and threatened Zhen Fan with himself. She put her hand on the doorknob again, but the result was the same as before, which triggered her panic. Screaming, "Put me down, you bastard, help, help—"
But she is doomed to be disappointed, the sealing performance of this car is very good, and it is still driving, no one will hear her shouting. So Zooey’s efforts were in vain.
"Don't bother, no one can hear you or see you!" Bernard shook his head and smiled slightly, "Tell me, what is your answer? Either you agree or you don't!"
Zooey stopped moving again, she glared at Bernard, looked at his approaching face, and spit out a mouthful of saliva, spraying Bernard all over his face.
Bernard was thrown back by her spray, then shook his head and said with a smile: "You are such a disobedient woman. Well, you tell me your decision now, if you don't speak again, I will treat it as if you promised to do it My girlfriend. Maybe I will let your boyfriend go, that Asian man, what's his name? Oh, yes, it's Fan Zhen!"
"Stop wishful thinking, you are far worse than him, do you think I will choose you? The answer is obvious, Mr. Bernard Modine, despicableness is never as good as justice, and murderers will eventually be brought to justice." Zooey brought With a sneering smile, "I can tell you right now, you - you are too far behind Zhen, never expect me to promise you! Never!"
"You will regret it!" Bernard was annoyed by Zoe's provocation, "Well, let's see if he will come to save you, or if he can save you. If not, you will become my Prisoner forever!"
"No, he will rescue me. Maybe it won't take that long!" Zooey gave him a cold look, then leaned back on the seat and said nothing again.
"Go to Miami!" Bernard. Modine gave orders to the driver.
The car screeched, slammed on the brakes, and stopped. This made Bernard not paying attention, he fell back and almost fell from the side. Zoe also rushed forward, and was just protected by the seat belt, so she didn't rush forward or fall.
"Damn, what are you doing?" Bernard turned his head angrily and yelled at the driver.
The driver didn't make a sound, just sat there, didn't intend to start the car, and didn't make any further actions, just sat there silently, motionless.
"Arthur, damn it, we're going back to Miami, do you hear me? You bastard, when you get home, get the hell out, the Modine family doesn't need you anymore!" Bernard yelled at the indifferent driver, but the driver remained the same. Sitting there motionless, obviously, this is a bit abnormal.
Damn it, he cursed again. Then he turned around, stretched out his hand forward, and pushed the driver Arthur. Arthur's body was like a wooden stake, and he fell obliquely on the seat. His eyes were protruding, and the white eyes were rolled out. Bernard put his hand on his carotid artery. Arthur was dead. (To be continued..)
