Yan Xiaye blinked, and smiled at the right time, expressing that this was indeed her idea.

"Oh..." The young man didn't seem to have any doubts, he lazily looked at the beautiful and well-behaved Yan Xiaye, and said with a smile: "Adam, I remember you like beautiful beauties, why did you suddenly change your taste?"

"Even if it's the best food, you'll get tired if you eat too much." Adam picked up the second card disapprovingly, and asked casually, "I haven't seen Kane for a while, where is he recently?"

The young man narrowed his eyes slightly, "Why do you care about that ineffective brother?"

"How could I care about him? I just don't want to run into him by chance." Adam spread his hands, pretending to be mysterious and whispered: "Some time ago, I heard that he owed a large amount of gambling debts, and I was afraid that he would take the opportunity Ask me to borrow money."

The young man laughed loudly: "You can choose not to borrow it, isn't it too tiring to avoid him?"

"Don't mention it, Mrs. Shirley is still one of the most favored women in front of my father. How dare I offend her son casually?"

With that said, Adam pressed the remaining chips.

After the young man rolled out the same amount of chips, he unconcernedly revealed his hole cards.

Yan Xiaye knew nothing about gambling, but watched the croupier respectfully take away the chips in front of Adam and push them all in front of the young man.

After getting this kind of bribe, the young man became a little more serious, "Alright, I advise you not to get involved with Kane recently, his money was borrowed from Mr. Cass and his partner. Mr Freeh's reputation is on the line, and it's likely that something will go wrong soon."

Mr Cass?

Unexpectedly hearing this name here, Yan Xiaye's mood was a little complicated, and he had a clearer understanding of the current situation.

Everyone, including Adam, admitted that Mr. Cass was a big businessman with a deep background.

It is probably impossible to get rid of his account.

But in the current situation, Kane, who was supposed to pay back the money, has already died. If Mr. Cass continues to investigate, it is very likely that the ulterior secret will be involved.

I dare not imagine what kind of end I will end up with after the Dongchuang incident.

Yan Xiaye paled slightly, and Adam smiled bitterly and said, "Well, it seems that I really want to avoid him, thank you for the information."

After finishing speaking, he calmly left the gaming table, took Yan Xiaye's hand again, brought her to the bar where drinks were served, and ordered a cocktail for her.

Having no choice but to get close to the man, Yan Xiaye asked cautiously, "Adam, are you going to see Mr. Cass?"

It's not that she particularly cares about Adam's life or death.

It's that her fate is connected with Adam, and it's impossible to think about it or not.

"No, Cass won't come to this kind of place in person." Adam picked up a glass of vodka with ice cubes, and took a big sip of his head: "I have referred to your suggestion and plan to put this matter aside for the time being. Let's see what my father will do."

This method is relatively the simplest, but it cannot guarantee the absolute safety of the two.

Yan Xiaye thought for a moment restlessly, "Mr. Cass probably just wants his money back, as long as the money is returned to the other party, maybe I can try to ask him not to tell you that Kane asked you .”

In this way, no one would suspect Adam, and she was naturally cleared of the suspicion of being an accomplice.

Adam tickled the corners of his lips slowly: "Money is of course the most important thing for a businessman. It sounds like a good proposal."

"That's the decision. However, the money must be returned to Mr. Cass as soon as possible, otherwise I have no position to ask the other party."

Can't wait to make the next plan, Yan Xiaye thirsty took a sip of the colorful liquid in the cup, a sweet taste spread on the tip of his tongue.

Knowing that she has a poor capacity for drinking, she restrained herself from taking another sip, and said thoughtfully, "The problem now is how to get Mr. Jeffrey to pay off the debt as quickly as possible."

Adam thought for a while, and snorted with a half-smile: "There will always be a way, and then we will go to more than a dozen casinos and clubs, as long as we pretend to be doing our best."

Yan Xiaye nodded helplessly, lingered here long enough, and went back to see the anxious Mrs. Shirley.

Seeing the two people coming out, Mrs. Shirley quickly went forward and asked anxiously, "How are you doing, did you find Kane?"

"Sorry, he doesn't seem to be here."

Adam motioned for Xia Ye to return to the car, then paused and said, "Mrs. Shirley, there is something that I don't know whether I should tell you."

Mrs. Shirley suddenly became nervous, "Is it related to Kane?"

"This is just hearsay, and the authenticity has not been guaranteed." With a look of regret on his face, Adam hesitated to say: "Kane has started gambling again recently, right?"

Mrs. Shirley's expression flustered for a moment, she pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Kane just likes excitement, as long as he is happy, going out to play is not a big deal."

"However, it appears that he owes a considerable amount of money to Mr Cass."

After giving the answer straightforwardly, Adam smiled: "I think this is probably false news. Father has already said that he is not allowed to continue gambling. As long as you find him and ask him, this rumor will be self-defeating."

Mrs. Shirley laughed, but the smile was stiff, and her eyes were even more tense, "Well...it must be like this."

Not far away, Yan Xiaye secretly watched this scene.

Apparently, Mrs. Shirley knew that Kane was still gambling, matching the other party's status as aristocrat, it is not unbelievable to owe a huge sum of money.

As long as Mrs. Shirley herself is not surprised, it is only natural for Kane to run away from home because he cannot bear the huge debt and is afraid that his father will not repay his gambling debts for him.

With his hanging heart settled, Yan Xiaye withdrew his gaze, watched Adam open the car door, and sat beside him.

For the entire afternoon that followed, Yan Xiaye and Adam searched all over the famous entertainment venues in the city. They were so serious and responsible that Mrs. Shirley didn't dare to pick anything.

So, when it gets dark.

The convoy drove back to the manor with carved beams and painted buildings quietly.

Mr. Geoffrey had already had someone prepare a dinner in the hall, and was flipping through a neatly ironed English newspaper, showing his aristocratic demeanor in every move.

"Jeffrey..." Mrs. Shirley stumbled in, sobbing and walked towards the man: "What should I do, I can't find Kane..."

"Can't find it?" Seemingly surprised by the result, Jeffrey hugged her and comforted her in a low voice, while looking at the tall and tall Adam: "What's going on?"

"Father, I have searched all the places that match Kane's identity, but I have not seen him."

With a little tiredness in his eyes, Adam said in a hoarse voice: "I tried to contact his friends, but he kept keeping a distance from me. I don't know who his friends are."

Jeffrey frowned, but he couldn't criticize Adam too much for returning without success, "Okay, you guys take a break and prepare to enjoy dinner, I'll go to the study and make a phone call."

"Okay, father."

Adam seemed to be very tired, so he pulled Yan Xiaye to sit down on the sofa, and ordered the maid to bring two glasses of mineral water.

Xia Ye ran with him all afternoon, but couldn't spare time to visit Ji Liangchen in the hospital, and was also depressed, sitting there listlessly.

After about ten minutes, Jeffrey returned to the hall with a sullen face.

His gaze sized up several people in the hall inscrutablely, and then fixed on Mrs. Shirley, "Tell me, is Kane still addicted to gambling?"

"he……"

Mrs. Shirley wiped her tears with her hand, and argued in a delicate voice: "You know he likes that kind of excitement very much, and he must not be able to bear to let him end that kind of life suddenly."

"In other words, he really owes Mr. Cass a huge sum of money."

Jeffrey's expression was not good, and he looked up at the exhausted Adam: "Adam, have you heard similar rumors?"

"Someone did mention it to me, and I told Mrs. Shirley the truth." Adam knew what his father would ask, and replied calmly: "But Mrs. Shirley thinks that Kane can't get rid of that excitement for a while, it's not a very big deal. serious matter."

Mrs. Shirley opened her eyes pitifully, shedding two tears while hesitating to speak.

Even though he knew that Adam was deliberately adding fuel to the fire, he couldn't say anything to refute it.

At this moment, the most important thing is to find Kane's whereabouts.

As for whether it will affect her position in Jeffrey's heart, I can only care about it later.

"Looking at it now, Kane is probably hiding from us on purpose, and it is normal not to find him."

Jeffrey rubbed his forehead with a headache, and ended the topic in a measured manner: "Okay, you guys come to dinner first, and I will invite Mr. Cass to come over tomorrow and ask what's going on."

Yan Xiaye listened with downcast eyes, feeling a little nervous in his heart.

In her plan, only if she got Jeffrey's promise to repay the debt and ensure that Mr. Cass' interests would not be lost, could she intercede with the other party.

But Jeffrey talked to Mr. Cass directly, so there was no room for her and Adam to intervene.

"Father, I don't know..." Adam was surprised for a while, and worriedly raised a possibility: "It's true that Kane doesn't like the person in charge, but this is the first time he has run away from home. Could it be that he owes someone Personal debt, the other party seized him without authorization?" Mrs. Shirley immediately turned pale, and exclaimed in disbelief: "Oh my God! No, they know that Kane is the son of a nobleman, and they won't be able to pay back the debt. .”

But Jeffrey pondered for a moment, "At present, a large part of the source of his debts is related to Mr. Cass. As for whether he owes others, it's hard to say now."

"I believe that Mr. Cass will not argue with him for a little debt, but it is not necessarily the case for others."
