BXBX NOVEL Chapter 74 - 74: An Old Acquaintance
A few minutes later, Connor arrived at the northwest gate of Porthampton University.
As fewer students were coming in and out of this place, Kyle Hayes deliberately parked his car here to prevent other students from seeing Connor talking to him.
Although Kyle looked like a burly man with no brains, he was very meticulous.
Kyle had noticed long ago that Connor had been deliberately hiding his identity.
Upon reaching the gate, Connor quickly found Kyle’s Bentley. He opened the door and got in.
“Mr. McDonald!”
Kyle greeted Connor respectfully when he saw him.
“How’s the investigation going?”
Connor asked expressionlessly.
“Mr. McDonald, let’s start with Knowles of Porthampton, a streamer on Twitch. He is quite interesting. Also, Mr. McDonald, you might know him!”
Kyle took out a document and handed it to Connor as he spoke.
“I know him?”
Connor couldn’t help but feel stunned when he heard that. Then, he reached out and took the document.
When Connor saw the photo on the document, he was surprised. Then, he smiled helplessly and mumbled, “1 do know him…”
Connor looked at the document Kyle gave him regarding Knowles of Porthampton. He couldn’t help but smile playfully. He sighed that he and Knowles of Porthampton were really fated.
This was because Knowles of Porthampton was none other than Todd Knowles, who had previously had a conflict with Connor!
However, this was good anyway. As long as Kyle gave the order, Todd would not dare to continue making things difficult for Mina.
“Mr. McDonald, do you want me to bring you to Todd Knowles now?”
Kyle asked Connor softly.
“There’s no need to waste time with this kind of person. Just help me handle this matter. Tell him not to make things difficult for a female streamer named Mina in the future. Otherwise, he will taste the consequences!” Connor instructed.
“Yes, sir!”
Kyle immediately responded.
“Right, don’t expose my identity. Do you understand what 1 mean?” Connor hesitated and then continued.
“Mr. McDonald, don’t worry. I know what to do!” Kyle quickly replied.
“Great!”
Connor nodded slightly and then continued to say, “Oh right, what about Hector Flynn?”
“It’s basically done, but…”
Kyle hesitated, then took out a thick file and handed it to Connor. Then, he said in a low voice, “But there are more than a thousand people called Hector Flynn in Porthampton. It’s complicated to investigate this person!”
After hearing what Kyle reported, Connor instantly felt despaired!
More than a thousand ‘Hector Flynns’. By the time Connor found the real Hector Flynn, he would have played Mina through.
What would it matter if Connor managed to expose Hector Flynn by then?
“But, Mr. McDonald, according to the information you provided, 1 have filtered out about fifty Hector Flynn’s in Porthampton, who are around twenty years old, for you. You can see if there is the person you are looking for among these people!” Kyle looked at Connor and continued.
“Fifty is more like it!”
Connor sighed in relief. Kyle really knew how to keep him in suspense. It was as if he was on a roller coaster.
After heaving a sigh of relief, Connor quickly took the file from Kyle and began to read the content carefully.
Meanwhile…
After Connor left the classroom, the other students left, too.
After all, the main character of the incident, Connor, had already left. There was nothing to watch anymore, so there was no point in staying.
After seeing that all the students had left, Mandy Brandon, Harvey, and others gathered around May.
“May, what’s going on between you and Connor? Did Connor threaten you? Or does he have something on you?”
Mandy asked. She didn’t understand why May acted so strangely today and allowed Connor to leave just like that.
“He didn’t threaten me. 1 do owe him 50,000 dollars!”
May leaned on the table as she replied helplessly.
“You owe Connor money?” Mandy looked at May in surprise. She couldn’t understand why May owed Connor money.
“May, why do you owe him money?”
Brandon frowned and asked.
“Brandon, shouldn’t you know why?”
At this moment, Lily Sullivan, who had been silent, finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. She stood up and shouted at Brandon.
“Lily, what do you mean? What does it have to do with me that May owes Connor money?” Brandon asked Lily in embarrassment.
“When Mandy offended Todd Knowles, we were also implicated. Todd kidnapped us and took us to a private room. May and 1 needed 50,000 dollars to get us out. But after you used the money to save Mandy, you didn’t care about us at all. May knew that Connor had won the lottery scratchcard a few days ago, so she called him and borrowed money from him to save us. That’s what happened. Do you get it now?”
Lily shouted agitatedly, her eyes bulging.
Brandon and Mandy looked a little embarrassed when they heard Lily’s explanation. They didn’t know how to face May.
Harvey was unusually triggered. He shouted at the top of his lungs, “May, why didn’t you call me when you needed money back then?”
“What’s the use of calling you? We needed 50,000 dollars to get us out. Do you have that much money?”
May replied with a bitter smile.
Harvey was taken aback. He didn’t know what to say.
Although Harvey’s family was well-off, 50,000 dollars was not a small amount to him. He indeed didn’t have that much money.
“I don’t, but how could Connor, that poor delivery guy, have so much money?”
Harvey retorted, completely upset.
“Didn’t 1 just say that Connor won the lottery scratchcard, so he had the money to treat everyone to a meal at Brasserie Le Bernardin, and he even had the money to save the two of us!” Lily replied helplessly.
“If Connor won so much money, do you think he would be willing to use this money to treat everyone to a meal? Would he be willing to use this money to save the two of you?”
At this moment, Mandy suddenly sneered.
When everyone heard what Mandy said, they were a little confused.
“I was with Connor for two years. I know him very well. If Connor really won the lottery scratchcard, he wouldn’t be so generous!” she continued.
“Mandy, what do you mean by that?” Brandon asked hesitantly.
“Simple. This money doesn’t belong to Connor!” Mandy said firmly.
“It doesn’t belong to him?”
Everyone was puzzled again.
“Gosh, why are you all so stupid? Haven’t we got a lot of burglaries at our university recently? Many students had their money stolen. The police even came to our university to investigate it the last time, but they couldn’t find the thief…” Mandy said slowly.
“Mandy, are you saying that Connor is the thief?”
May exclaimed.
“I don’t know if Connor is the culprit, but I think Connor has been acting weird lately. He even told us that May tried to sleep with him. If we don’t teach Connor a lesson, 1 think he will be even more arrogant in the future!”
Mandy said coldly.
Brandon and the others looked at each other and seemed to agree with Mandy’s suggestion.
“But how do we teach Connor a lesson now?”
Harvey was stunned as he asked.
“Harvey, if I remember correctly, isn’t there a PE lesson tomorrow, right?” Mandy narrowed her eyes and asked.
“Yes, why?” Harvey nodded lightly.
“The plan is…”
Mandy whispered into their ears and began to plan the lesson they would teach Connor the next day..
