The bullet entered Adrian's jaw and lodged in his head.

With a trace of unwillingness, he closed his eyes.

From his series of emotional expressions, Ethan could tell that the real Mia was not the short black-haired woman who was shot and killed.

Otherwise, after Joe left, Adrian should be full of relief instead of looking at Mary with resentment.

This proves that the hatred in his heart has not been eliminated, and the energy of rich people cannot convince Ethan.

Mary has never been in contact with Adrian. The only explanation is that she has always been within Adrian's sight.

Ethan deduces that Mary is the real Mia.

Adrian's original plan was to have something happen to Mary and Joe so that he could vent his hatred.

But due to his intervention, he could no longer do anything to Mary.

So Adrian decisively launched the second plan to create the illusion that Joe killed his daughter with his own hands, allowing Joe to kill himself in regret and despair.

Adrian, on the other hand, planned to reveal the truth to Mary and Ben after Joe committed suicide, so that she would live in pain for the rest of her life.

After Ethan noticed this, he shot Adrian decisively.

Some things just go away, Mary doesn't need to know them.

Ethan stood up and walked to Chucky. Chucky smiled at him with his last breath, then tilted his head and died completely.

Joe looked forward with wide eyes. On the ground not far away, a photo fell. Amanda was still so sweet and moving in the photo.

I wonder if in the last moments of his life, Joe regretted the way he handled this matter.

Ethan sighed and walked towards Mary.

Mary squatted in the corner, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. She didn't understand why in the flash of lightning, the few lives that were still alive just now were all lying on the ground.

Ethan stretched out his hand to pull Mary up and wiped away her tears.

"Let's go, ignore them, we have to keep going."

After Mary calmed down, Ethan walked to the suitcase. He grabbed the diamonds inside and put them back into the small black bag, and then threw them to Mary.

Mary took it hurriedly, "What should we do with these diamonds?"

"These are all ownerless things, so take them first."

Ethan rummaged through the cabinets, dug out all the documents and files in the archives, and dumped them on the floor.

Mary stood in the doorway holding a yearbook, and Ethan walked over.

Above is a group photo, with Joe, Chucky, and Amanda looking green on their faces. They all smiled happily at the camera.

Ethan used a lighter to light the cigarette that Mary handed over. After taking a puff of the cigarette, he placed the lighter on the yearbook. The flames gradually engulfed the people on the photo.

Mary couldn't stand the blazing heat and threw the burning yearbook to the ground. The fire slowly spread and made their faces turn red.

Ethan put his arm around Mary's shoulders and said, "They are all people who can't get rid of the past and live in the past. Things started here, let them end here."

Back in the car, Mary asked Ethan emotionally, "Where are we going next?"

"Go meet a friend of mine and take care of these things."

Ethan tapped the diamond on her hand, then turned the steering wheel and made the call.

"Who is it?" Jiabo's tired voice came from the other side of the phone.

Ethan glanced at Mary, "It's me. Are you free now? Let's meet."

"Shet, I thought you were dead?"

Jabo said in surprise, and then told Ethan an address.

After he hung up the phone, Mary quickly pushed the diamond over and said, "Take it, it's too precious. I'm scared to hold it."

Ethan was not polite and took the diamond and stuffed it into his pocket.

Not long after, he came to a semi-old apartment building. After parking the car, Ethan saw his Dodge Challenger not far away.

According to the information provided by Jaber, they walked up the stairs to the third floor and knocked on the door.

"You bastard, what have you been doing these past two days?" Jabo opened the door wearing beach shorts and a nightgown.

When he saw a woman standing behind Ethan, he took off his sunglasses and looked at Mary.

"This is Mary, Mary, this is Jabber."

Ethan introduced the two of them to each other, then opened the door and went in. Mary nodded to Jabber and quickly followed.

The room layout here is similar to the previous one, and the Goth man is actually there.

Mary slowed down when she saw the Goth man.

She probably knew that Jiabo was the one who provided them with transportation and firearms, and she couldn't help feeling a little afraid.

Ethan pulled Mary to sit on the sofa in the middle of the living room and patted her on the back.

"Don't worry, although Jabo is a bastard, he is still a good person overall."

"Fakeyu, you are the bastard."

Jabo gave him the middle finger without hesitation, "You bastard took my equipment and you didn't give me a penny."

After finishing speaking, Jiabo handed Mary a bottle of mineral water.

"Don't be restrained. Just treat it as your own home. This bastard sitting next to you saved my life."

Mary took the mineral water and said, "Really? That's a coincidence. He also saved my life."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Mary relaxed.

Ethan groped around for a while and put the four pistols hidden on his body and the Corolla car keys on the table.

Jabber winked at the Gothic man, and the Gothic man returned to the room, took a bag, loaded the pistols, then picked up the car keys and left.

"He has been following me for several years. Don't worry, everything will be destroyed and there will be no trace of it."

Jabber sat down opposite Ethan, "Can you tell me what happened?"

Ethan shook his head, "There's no need to talk about these bad things."

He reached into his arms and took out the cash he found in Channing's office last time.

"The cost of the car and gun is about 30,000 yuan here. That should be enough, right?"

"enough."

Jiabo was not polite, picked up the money, counted it, and then stuffed the money into his pocket.

Although we are all friends, we still have to figure things out clearly when it comes to business matters, and we still have to pay the fees that should be paid. Otherwise, if we ask others for help next time, it will be difficult for others to help or not.

Jia Bo is not a stingy person. He took Ethan to a nightclub two days ago and spent thousands of dollars on him, but he showed no mercy at all.

After he put the money, Ethan took out a small black cloth bag from his arms and placed it carefully on the table.

Seeing Ethan's cautious look, Jabo also became energetic.

"What's in this? I've never seen you like this?"

Ethan chuckled, and under Jabber's curious eyes, he opened the mouth of the bag, picked up the heavy small cloth bag and poured it into his hand. More than a dozen diamonds slid down the mouth of the bag and fell into his hand.

"This small bag contains all of them and is worth about 20 million US dollars." Under Jabber's stunned expression, Ethan put the diamonds back into the bag.

"Who did you go to rob?"

Jia Bo picked up the wine bottle on the table, pulled out the cork and took a big sip, then looked at him with a resentful look on his face.

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't rob anyone." Ethan winked at him and continued:

"It was just an accident."

"Why didn't this kind of accident happen to me?" Jia Bo looked at him with an unhappy expression.

Ethan smiled and said simply:

"The situation was urgent. Don't talk nonsense. I know you have many channels. Please help us clean up these diamonds."
