Love Comes To Me
Chapter 281: Alumni, Please help me

City J.

Rogers Group.

"Brother, the money is ready."

Rupert Rogers strides into the President's office.

Hector Rogers, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, turned around, "Have arrangements been made with the police?" "They're all set, just waiting for us to meet the kidnappers."

Rupert Rogers took a large swig of water from the table before continuing, "Brother, would it be too risky for us to do this?"

His brother meant to do as the kidnappers asked, but there were also arrangements on this side for the police to follow secretly. The advantage of doing this is that the kidnapper can be caught.

But in case the kidnappers find out, then Solomon is in danger.

His fears were not unlike those of Hector Rogers, but he believed that Solomon was a smart and brave boy and would be fine.

"Be careful when you get there, you have to make sure everything goes right." Hector Rogers said in a hushed voice.

Rupert Rogers nodded and asked again, "And did the kidnappers call?"

"Not yet."

Now it's just a matter of waiting for the kidnappers to say where to pay.

The words had barely left his mouth when Hector Rogers' mobile phone rang.

Rupert Rogers glanced at it and no number was displayed.

It's the kidnappers.

Hector Rogers picked up the phone, "Hello."

"Under that big banyan tree on the outskirts of City E. Pay with one hand and give up with the other. If you dare to call the police, you'll never see the child again in your life." The caller hung up the phone as soon as he finished.

Hector Rogers calmly puts down his phone.

"What did the kidnappers say?" Rupert Rogers asked eagerly.

Hector Rogers raised his eyes and his thin lips parted, "The big banyan tree on the outskirts of City E."

"A place to pay?" Rupert Rogers frowned.

"Hmm."

Rupert Rogers recalled the geography of the place and his frown tightened, "Brother, is that the big 100 year old banyan tree?"

As far as he can remember, there was indeed a large banyan tree on the outskirts of City E.

Hector Rogers nodded, "It's there."

"Shit!"

Rupert Rogers couldn't help but burst out, "They're too slick, too. It's no good for the police to go past that place, they'll be spotted as soon as they do." The large banyan tree is surrounded by wasteland and does not have much shelter.

It is not good for the police to approach.

In this way, both Solomon and the person who goes to pay the money will be at risk.

"Brother, I'll give the money to the kidnappers instead of you."

Rupert Rogers felt that his brother should not be allowed to take the risk.

After all, he seemed less important than his brother to the Rogers family, and had no child wife.

"I'll go on my own."

"Brother ..."

Rupert Rogers was about to say something else, but was interrupted by Hector Rogers, "I'm Solomon's dad, I'll go over there myself."

"Then I'm still Solomon's brother-in-law." Rupert Rogers grunted.

"Go." Hector Rogers gave him a look and walked out first.

Rupert Rogers rushed after him.

...

The aircraft landed smoothly at City J International Airport.

Eloise Thompson followed the crowds out of the airport and caught a glimpse of Egbert Chumley standing by his car, waving at him.

She trotted over, "What brings you here?"

Egbert Chumley didn't answer her, but opened the car door, "Get in. They're going to pay the ransom now."

At that, Eloise Thompson couldn't be bothered to ask any more questions and rushed into the car.

Egbert Chumley rounded the front of the car and turned his head to look at her with a silent sigh in his mind.

She is still back.

What to expect.

But he was more or less lost.

As the car drove smoothly down the road, Eloise Thompson, noticing that this was the direction to the suburbs, turned her head to Egbert Chumley and asked, "In the suburbs?" "Hmm. It says it's in the suburbs, it's not clear where exactly."

Eloise Thompson frowned; if it was exactly where it was, it wouldn't do much good for them to go over there.

She bit her lip, "Alumni, can you find out exactly where it is on your end?"

Egbert Chumley gave her a sideways glance.

She smiled apologetically, "Alumni, I'm sorry to bother you."

"It's nothing." Egbert Chumley curled his lip, then took out his phone and made a call.

Soon, they learned exactly.. where the location was, and also that Hector Rogers and the others had gone in that direction.

Egbert Chumley pondered for a moment, then spoke up and asked, "Going to see him?"

Eloise Thompson shook her head, "No. I've come back this time to find Solomon, and as soon as I'm sure Solomon is safe, I'm going back to City S."

At that, she turned her head and looked at him with clear eyes, "Alumni, you didn't think I was deciding to come back, did you?"

Egbert Chumley didn't say anything, but that was the default.

Eloise Thompson withdrew her gaze and gazed ahead, smiling to herself, "He and I are out of the question. How could I have come back here this time if Solomon hadn't gotten into trouble because of me?" "Eloise," Egbert Chumley called out.

"Hmm?"

"You can't let go, so why not just be honest about it?" Egbert Chumley gave her a look and continued, "Maybe things aren't as bad as you think. I can see he really loves you."

Love?

Eloise Thompson turns her head to look out the window at the fleeting view, a faint sadness lingering in her brow.

The problem between her and him cannot be solved by the word "love".

They have a lot to contend with actually.

When she didn't say anything, a sigh escaped her lips and Egbert Chumley said nothing more.

There are things that onlookers know only scratch the surface.

...

Meanwhile, Hector Rogers' car arrived near the banyan tree.

As the road leading to the banyan tree was a small one, the car could not drive in and he had to use the walk next.

"Brother, be careful."

The worried voice of Rupert Rogers came from the hidden headphones inside his ears.

Hector Rogers' eyes flickered slightly as he asked in a low voice, "Are the police officers deployed?"

"It's all good. It's a good thing the grass is growing so high around here, it's just right for shade."

Rupert Rogers is sitting in his car in the distance, looking in the direction of Hector Rogers with binoculars.

"As soon as the other party hands over Solomon, you get the police to move in immediately and make sure the kidnappers are caught."

"Don't worry, brother, I know what to do."

Hector Rogers walked to the banyan tree and the headphones went silent.

The other side hadn't arrived yet, so he looked around and, in no hurry, stood still and waited.

Little did he know that in the distance, a car had pulled up.

As soon as the car pulled up, Eloise Thompson immediately got out and she looked around the deserted area with an unusually grave look on her face.

"That's the banyan tree." Egbert Chumley said as he walked up to her and pointed to a large tree in the distance.

He frowned, "If it's no surprise, Hector Rogers should have been there by now."

Hector.

Eloise Thompson looked at the tree and her heart ached slightly.

She turned her head to look at Egbert Chumley, "Alumni, I'll just go over there myself, you just go back."

At that, Egbert Chumley exclaimed, "Are you crazy? They're kidnappers, aren't you afraid something will happen to you alone?"

Eloise Thompson laughs, "No, don't worry."

It doesn't matter if something happens, as long as Solomon can be saved.

"No, I absolutely cannot let you go there alone." Egbert Chumley wanted to accompany her there.

"Alumni," Eloise Thompson's eyes were full of determination, "I don't want to put you at risk, and besides, you're staying here in case anything happens to me, my mother is in your hands." "Eloise ..."

"Alumni, please."

How could he refuse the pleading look in her eyes?

Finally nodding, "Okay, I get it."

"Thanks Alumni."

Eloise Thompson smiled gratefully at him, then turned and walked resolutely towards the banyan tree.
