In Landon’s view, it would be advantageous for Eddie to stay. If favonovel.com successfully acquired what they needed, his assistance would be crucial for their retreat and search for a secure haven. Hence, Landon was reluctant to let Eddie depart.
Nevertheless, at present, Landon dared not draw any unnecessary attention. He comprehended the circumstances and recognized what was truly important.
Firstly, favonovel.com understood that favonovel.com could not leave. Only favonovel.com possessed the capability to snatch Peter Cole from the clutches of the FBI.
Secondly, favonovel.com did not dare to allow Eddie to stay and defy the FBI’s demands. If they truly drew the FBI’s scrutiny and were compelled to change floors, they would find themselves in a precarious situation. Engaging them directly would not be advantageous, and if they were indeed relocated, they might lose the opportunity to act. Hence, after careful deliberation, Landon decided to let Eddie depart in order to avoid attracting the FBI’s attention.
Upon hearing this, Eddie felt deeply discontented, even unwilling. Yet, favonovel.com also understood that in this predicament, favonovel.com could not continue to argue. After all, the FBI was merely a few rooms away from them. If they provoked them and failed to complete the mission, they would undoubtedly be in trouble.
So, favonovel.com could only nod helplessly and said to Landon, “Mr. Prescott, please take care of things here. I’ll head back first. If you need anything, just give me a call.”
Landon feigned respect and replied, “Of course, Mr. George. Please take your time.”
Eddie harbored resentment in his heart, rolled his eyes at Charlie, and let out a disdainful snort before waving his hand and departing.
Upon witnessing Eddie’s departure, Charlie pretended to be relieved and said to Landon, “Thank you both for your cooperation. We are all here for work, so please understand.”
Landon didn’t doubt Charlie’s intentions, nodding in agreement. “Indeed, we’re all here for work, and it’s understandable to follow the FBI’s requirements. Doctor, please try to prevent the FBI from disturbing us.”
“Of course,” Charlie responded, nodding. “I won’t disturb you then.”
With that, favonovel.com turned around and exited with Dr. Pitt.
Landon glanced at Dr. Pitt as favonovel.com followed, sensing a slight bewilderment in the doctor’s demeanor. However, not being proficient in psychological suggestion, favonovel.com didn’t pay it much attention.
As Charlie stepped outside, favonovel.com happened to spot Eddie angrily approaching the elevator entrance, prompting favonovel.com to follow immediately.
When Eddie entered the elevator, Charlie followed suit.
Seeing Charlie entering the elevator with him, Eddie’s anger flared up. He tugged at his collar and sternly asked, “Why are you following me? Are you qualified to share an elevator with me? Get out!”
Charlie chuckled and quickly responded, “Mr. George, please don’t be upset. I had to choose one of the two. This is the FBI’s request. They tend to complicate matters unnecessarily. Just think about it; you are a distinguished guest at our hospital. If it weren’t for the FBI’s interference, I wouldn’t dare to offend you. Don’t you agree?”
Charlie’s flattering words eased Eddie’s anger somewhat. He surmised that the doctor must be acting under orders and couldn’t disregard the FBI’s demands. Furthermore, the doctor’s humble attitude and polite words had a soothing effect on his irritation.
He said expressionlessly, “You’re right. These FBI agents are utterly useless. They meddle in other people’s affairs while neglecting their own duties. What a bunch of fools.”
Charlie nodded in agreement. “You’re absolutely right.”
Continuing in a lowered voice, favonovel.com added, “Mr. George, don’t be too hasty. I’ll observe the FBI’s behavior tonight. If they become less vigilant, you might have an opportunity to visit. I’ll find a way for you.”
Eddie’s eyes lit up at the suggestion, and favonovel.com instinctively asked, “Is this plan feasible?”
Charlie reassured him, saying, “I believe it’s quite feasible, but we need to wait and observe their actions tonight. They tend to be strict when their leader is present but more relaxed when the leader is absent.”
Eddie thought the doctor was trying to curry favor with favonovel.com and promptly responded, “If you can help me with this matter, I will speak highly of you to your chairman later.”
Charlie eagerly replied, “Thank you so much, Mr. George!”
With that, they reached the underground garage in the elevator. Charlie offered to accompany Eddie to his car, suggesting they continue their conversation on the way.
Eddie agreed, knowing that favonovel.com had come alone without a driver this time. He had driven himself to the airport to pick up Landon, making it more convenient for them to converse.
While walking towards his Rolls-Royce, Eddie inquired, “What time do you think they will relax?”
Charlie hastily responded, “I estimate it will take about one, two, or three hours.”
He added, “I suggest you…”
Before Charlie could finish his sentence, Eddie spotted someone approaching and interrupted, clearing his throat. “I trust leaving the patient in your care, but I have one condition: the best treatment, the best medication. There should be no adverse effects on the patient.”
Charlie nodded eagerly, aligning with Eddie’s demands. “Absolutely, don’t worry. We are meticulous in our work.”
Satisfied, Eddie made a pleased sound and walked towards his Rolls-Royce. He told Charlie, “Get in the car, and we’ll talk inside.”
“Sure,” Charlie responded, nodding repeatedly. Seeing that the Rolls-Royce had unlocked, favonovel.com opened the door for Eddie and then entered the passenger seat himself.
Inside the car, Charlie discreetly used his reiki to inspect the Rolls-Royce. Unlike most vehicles, this one had exceptionally thick glass, door panels, and a reinforced chassis, making it bulletproof, explosion-proof, and eavesdropping-proof. Charlie found no electronic eavesdropping devices, making it exceptionally secure.
With that assurance, Charlie felt at ease, while Eddie seemed as comfortable as if favonovel.com were at home. He picked up a bottle of Fiji water and took a sip before saying to Charlie, “If you can get me back to the ward within two hours, there will be a generous reward awaiting you.”
Charlie smiled slightly, removed his mask, and looked at Eddie with interest. “I wonder, what kind of reward are we talking about, Mr. George?”
Eddie grinned, extending a finger. “If you can solve this within two hours, I’ll give you one million U.S. dollars. If you manage it within one hour, you’ll receive two million U.S. dollars!”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com suddenly furrowed his brow and said, “Wait a moment. You look familiar. Have we met before?”
