“Do you really not recognize them?” Connor squinted his eyes and continued to ask.
Jack knelt in front of him, his expression filled with fear.
He looked at Connor with fear and said, “Connor, I really don’t know these two people. Who are they?”
At this moment, Jack and Jeffery had no idea what was going on.
“Last night, when Connor left the casino, he encountered two assassins, and these two assassins are the same as the ones in the photo!”
Thomas stood beside Jack and emotionlessly said to him.
Upon hearing his words, Jack and Jeffery were dumbfounded.
“Connor, what time did you encounter these two assassins last night?” Jeffery asked Connor.
“After one o’clock in the morning,” Connor said calmly.
“But Connor, these two assassins couldn’t have been sent by Jack. Jack had already returned home by midnight yesterday…” Jeffery anxiously explained.
“Just because Jack wasn’t the one who personally attacked Connor doesn’t mean he couldn’t have hired the assassins to do it. Even if Jack had already returned home by then, he could have found the assassins to target you. So it doesn’t prove that these two people weren’t hired by Jack!” Thomas said expressionlessly.
“Jack, you better think clearly before talking to me because those two assassins are still alive. If I find them, you should know the consequences…” Connor said softly to Jack.
“I really have no connection with these two people. I swear 1 absolutely don’t know them. If they were really hired by me, my whole family would be wiped out!” Jack shouted emotionally at Connor.
“Yes, Connor, 1 know Jack’s character. Although he can be unruly at times, he doesn’t have the courage to hire assassins. 1 hope you can investigate this matter thoroughly!” Jeffery also shouted.
Connor looked at them, his eyes showing a hint of strangeness.
Because he knew that the two assassins were already dead, there was no solid evidence to prove whether Jack was responsible for it or not.
But he could feel from Jack’s reaction that it seemed like he really didn’t do it, and he also seemed to genuinely not know these two people.
“Jack, if I find these two people, will you dare to confront them face to face?” he asked Jack softly.
“I will, Connor. I really don’t know these two people. 1 admit that I acted impulsively towards you and Yelena, but 1 didn’t target you specifically. And even if 1 did hire assassins, they wouldn’t have attacked you so quickly!” Jack said seriously.
Connor stood there and contemplated for a moment, then waved his hand lightly to Jack and Jeffery without any expression on his face, saying, “You two can leave for now. If there’s anything, I will find both of you again!”
“Thank you, Mr. Connor! Thank you, Mr. Connor!”
Upon hearing his words, Jack felt relieved and quickly thanked Connor before preparing to leave.
Jeffery hesitated for a moment, stood up, and said to Connor, “Connor, I know my son’s character very well. 1 can guarantee that he didn’t do this. He doesn’t have the courage for it…”
Connor glanced at Jeffery lightly and calmly said, “I understand. I am not an unreasonable person. You can rest assured!”
“Alright, if there’s no any other matters, I’ll take my leave!”
Jeffery quickly nodded towards him and then turned around and left the private room.
After seeing Jeffery and Jack leave, Connor let out a heavy sigh. He turned to Thomas, who was standing by, and asked, “What do you think about this matter?”
“I don’t think it was Jack who did it,” Thomas answered seriously.
“Why?” Connor asked calmly.
“Based on his reaction just now, it seemed like he truly doesn’t know the two people in the photo,” Thomas said slowly.
“Now that the people are already dead, we don’t know for sure if what he said was true. 1 was just trying to intimidate him earlier…” Connor said softly.
“I know you were intentionally trying to scare Jack. But his reaction just now couldn’t have been faked. 1 could feel the fear in his eyes. It indicates that he definitely doesn’t know those two assassins. Otherwise, his reaction wouldn’t have been like that,” Thomas said, looking at Connor.
Connor paused for a moment and then continued, “And yesterday, I had someone investigate those two assassins. It turns out they are highly skilled professionals. They usually track their targets for a long time before making a move. They wouldn’t have acted so quickly if Jack had hired them. Considering the conflict between Jack and me yesterday evening, even if he did hire them, they wouldn’t have targeted me that same night!”
Connor looked at Thomas hesitantly and said, “I think your analysis makes sense. But if it isn’t Jack or Yannick, then who else could it be? And killing those two immediately afterward clearly indicates that they didn’t want us to know about their existence!”
“Perhaps it was the people from Rockefeller,” Thomas whispered.
“The people from Rockefeller targeting me?”
Upon hearing Thomas’s words, Connor’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.
In fact, what he was most worried about right now was Rockefeller’s people targeting him because Rockefeller was currently his most formidable enemy.
“I think Rockefeller might not really want to kill you. This time, they were probably just testing the security around you to facilitate their future actions,” Thomas paused and continued, “If Rockefeller’s people really wanted to kill you, they could have hired more professional assassins. But this time, they only hired two very ordinary ones. I believe their true intention was to test you, making it easier for them to take action in the future!”
“So, are you saying that Rockefeller’s people are likely to target me again?” Connor instantly understood Thomas’s meaning and asked him excitedly..
