The two of them did not expect Ye Xuan to reject them. They were slightly stunned. Alex could not help but ask anxiously, "You don't know? But didn't you know before? "
"So what if I know? So what if I don't know? Why should I tell you? "Ye Xuan curled his lips.
"If it's because of Carter that you were sent to prison, we can apologize and we will find a way to clear your name at the police station as soon as possible. I hope you can forgive us!" Claire looked at Ye Xuan's expression and guessed that some of their actions in the hotel might have angered him. That was why his attitude was so cold at this time.
Indeed, it was impossible for her not to have any resentment if she encountered such a thing. That was why Claire apologized immediately.
Hearing Claire's words, Ye Xuan smiled faintly. Claire was right. He did have some resentment in his heart. After all, he was not a saint. He could not be indifferent to favors and disgraces.
However, the reason why he refused was not as simple as venting his anger. His purpose was to let those who had doubts about the Grim Reaper experience the horror of the Grim Reaper.
There was a saying that it would be difficult to lead a team if the people's hearts were scattered. On the other hand, if the hearts of the team were united and there was no way out, then these people's hearts would be twisted together. As long as he showed that he had the ability to save them from the hands of the Grim Reaper, then these people would definitely obey him in order to survive.
As for those who were killed by the Grim Reaper, Ye Xuan could only mourn for them for a second. From the moment they refused to believe him, they should have thought of the price they might have to pay.
"Then we'll talk about it after you clear my name." Ye Xuan smiled coldly at them, then stood up from the chair. "However, you have to be quick. Otherwise, you might all be dead by the time I get out. "
"By the way …" Ye Xuan, who was about to turn around and return to his cell, suddenly stopped in his tracks. "I'll give you a hint. The Grim Reaper's next target is Carter's girlfriend, Terry!"
With that, Ye Xuan left the meeting room under the horrified gazes of Alex and Claire.
After Ye Xuan left the meeting room, Alex and Claire looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes. At the same time, they said in unison, "Tali?!"
Although the two of them had some doubts as to how Ye Xuan knew that the Grim Reaper's next target was Taylor, they did not dare to hesitate because it was because of their previous negligence that led to Todd's death.
If they had believed Ye Xuan's words, would Todd have been able to escape the Grim Reaper's trap?
The two of them could not care less about Ye Xuan's departure. They quickly ran out, found a phone booth, and called Tallie's home.
"Hello!?" A male voice came from the phone.
"Hello, is Terry here? I'm her classmate, Clare! 'said Clare.
"Oh, hello, Clare. I'm Tallie's father. She just went out with her neighbor, Amier. She said she wanted to swim for a change of mood. Is there anything I can help you with? "
Tallie's father said. Clare panicked. "Can you tell me where she went? I have something important to talk to her about. "
"Uh, okay. I heard they're going to Anna's Swimming Pool on Henry Street. " If it was in China, parents would definitely ask if there was something important. However, the education of parents in the United States was relatively lax. Therefore, after some consideration, Tallie's father told Clare the address.
"Okay, thank you!" Clare thanked him and was about to hang up the phone. She turned to Alex and said, "Tallie is at Anna's Swimming Pool on Henry Street. Let's go!"
"Wait!" Just as Clare was about to leave, Alex suddenly picked up the phone and dialed a number. "I'll call Carter."
Hearing that Alex was going to call Carter, Clare didn't stop him because he understood Alex's intention. Tallie was Carter's girlfriend, and Carter was the one who sent Ye Xuan to the police station. Now that Ye Xuan predicted that Tallie would be attacked by the Grim Reaper, if it was true, Ye Xuan could be released from the detention center as long as Carter dropped the charges.
"Hello?" Carter's family was relatively wealthy, so he had his own phone a long time ago.
"Carter, it's Alex," said Alex.
"Alex? Why are you calling me, you bastard? " Although not all sons of rich people were bossy, Carter was obviously not one of them. Whenever he spoke, people would want to punch him in the face.
Alex took a deep breath. "Listen, Carter, I'm not calling to quarrel with you. Do you remember that Asian man at the hotel? He … "
"Oh, you mean that liar? Why, you want to plead on his behalf and ask me to let him go? I'm telling you, there's no way! "Carter interrupted Alex before he could finish his sentence.
Both of them were young, so Alex's temper flared when Carter interrupted him again. "Sh * t, Carter, you idiot, listen to me. Todd died last night. The police said it was an accident, but it wasn't an accident. Think about it yourself. Now that Asian man said that the Grim Reaper's next target is Tallie. She's now at Anna Natatorium on Henry Street. It's up to you whether you want to go or not, you idiot!"
With a snap, Alex hung up the phone.
"Good job, Alex!" Clare had enough of Carter's arrogance. Seeing Alex's actions, he couldn't help but smile encouragingly at him. Then, he said, "Alright, let's go!"
Tallie felt that her recent life was terrible. First, she encountered a plane crash. Dozens of familiar classmates exploded in front of her eyes. Then, she met a mysterious Asian man who said that there was a Grim Reaper in this world and that their survival was arranged by the Grim Reaper. They couldn't escape death.
This was terrible news. She was only a teenager. She still had a good life to enjoy. How could she die like this?
Fortunately, her boyfriend exposed the liar's true face. Now that the liar was in the police station, it proved that the so-called Grim Reaper didn't exist.
Even so, Terry still felt a little uneasy. She had gone to see a doctor, and the doctor said that she had a nervous breakdown and needed to relax. That was why she had rejected her date with her boyfriend and came to the swimming pool today. She wanted to relax and forget about the damn Grim Reaper.
