Andrew chuckled, "To put it nicely, you're begging me to tell you the truth. To put it bluntly, you're threatening me. I told you that I am not buying it."
Hearing this, Xavier was unhappy, and so was James.
James really wanted to extort a confession from Andrew by torture. He just wanted to know the truth quickly. However, Andrew was different from Liron, and he did not seem to be easy to fool. He did not care about anyone. Even his business had been ruined. If they beat Andrew, he was afraid that Andrew would not say a word when he got angry. That would be troublesome.
Before he could speak, Andrew said again, "If you want to negotiate with me and get some information from me, shouldn't you show me your sincerity?"
James said, "What do you want from us? Say it."
Andrew had made up his mind, so he didn't delay and said directly, "To be honest, I've been caught by you. Even if I make a request, you'll just be perfunctory to me. After I tell you
the truth... it's really hard to tell if you'll keep your promise. Am I right?"
"So? What do you want?"
Andrew glanced at them and said, "One of you send me out. When I get to a safe place, I'll tell you the truth."
James raised his eyebrows and felt that Andrew was somewhat smart, but he didn't show it and just said, "Since you want me to show you my sincerity, shouldn't you be sincere to me? What if you don't say it after I send you out? So, I really can't feel your sincerity."
"Gangsters like us value sincerity the most!" Andrew said this without hesitation, and he was like a leader of a mafia.
James snorted, "Sincerity?" He thought about the word and said with a smirk, "Do you really think you're sincere? Back then, didn't Ashli say the same thing to me? What happened the next? What did you do?"
"You..." Andrew was speechless for a moment. He thought about it quickly and said immediately, "I am not Ashli. I've been in the mafia for so many years. If I go back on my word, how can I make so much money?"
James glanced at Xavier before he turned his head and looked at Andrew blandly, but he did not say anything.
Andrew didn't get a reply, so he couldn't figure out what James was thinking at the moment.
As the saying went, a wise man submitted to his circumstances. He had experienced a lot of terrible things. If it was at ordinary times, he wouldn't be so anxious. But at this time... all his goods had been found by the police. Although he had hidden some goods, he knew that it was just a matter of time for the police to find them. He had lost so much money, and the most important thing was whether he could escape or not.
If he was really imprisoned, he would have to spend more than years in the prison.
If he could escape, everything would be all right, and he could start over again. Otherwise, he was really...
"I can understand that you don't trust me. After all, you were once fooled by Ashli. But everyone has their own rules, so you can rest assured. Besides, I have lost everything now. If I dare to fool you, I'll have one more enemy, right? It's not a good thing for me. Don't you think so?"
Xavier looked down at the empty space in front of him and said nothing.
Although Andrew was quite calm on the surface, only he himself knew just how nervous he was. Whether he could leave or not was too important to him.
After a long while, James looked at Xavier, "I'm going out to smoke a cigarette." After that, he glanced at Andrew and remembered what had happened before. Then he looked at Xavier again, "Do you want to go out with me?" If he let Xavier stay with Andrew...
"Alright."
James had left for more than half an hour. Originally, Xavier wanted to look for him, but he felt that it was not very good to do this. He stood outside the warehouse alone. As time went by, he became more and more anxious.
He didn't know what James were doing, and he didn't know when he would come back. The people in the warehouse were the people he didn't want to meet again, but he had to face them at this time.
He looked up at the direction of the intersection and then looked back. He closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and turned to walk in.
Andrew had waited for a long time, and he knew that it was useless to be anxious. At this time, he was closing his eyes to rest.
Hearing the footsteps, he opened his eyes. When he saw Xavier, he smiled evilly.
Xavier didn't say a word. Emotions were surging in his heart, and the expression in his eyes was gloomy and intense.
Andrew took the lead to speak, "You're here? Have you made up your mind?"
"No."
"No?" Andrew's expression changed, "So why did you come in? Are you kidding me?"
Xavier clenched his fists, "That's a matter which should be decided by Jimmy. I can't interfere in it. I came here to ask you..." Saying this, he raised his head and straightened his back, "Do you have... those photos?"
