"What else could it be?" I puzzledly asked Ronan.
"Well, after Addrion was sent to Northern Myanmar, the record back home showed that Addrion was
deceased! They couldn't blackmail his family anymore!" Ronan explained with a chilling tone, "In some
ways, though, it helped his family!"
"So you're saying there's someone higher up than Jerome?" I probed.
"Yes, Jerome is just a small fry. At most, he's a henchman, maybe with a title. That's why he could
whisk Addrion away during the transfer." Ronan clarified.
"And the police didn't notice anything? What were they doing?" I asked, unable to comprehend.
"You hit the nail on the head. That's exactly why we were able to find Addrion." Ronan agreed with my
point.
I looked at Ronan with curiosity, eager for him to continue the story.
"We went through hell and high water to find where Addrion had gone. It turned out that during that
period, he had been convicted and sentenced to three years. But, weirdly enough, he disappeared
during his transfer from the detention house to his cell. There was no sign of him in the prison."
Ronan's words were clear as if he was narrating a story.
Addrion had a wry smile on his face. "I didn't know anything. I swear I didn't know anything!"
He kept repeating this phrase.
"Following that, we found the key point in the transfer operation. After some investigation, we found the
transfer records. There had been an accident during the transfer. The vehicle fell off a cliff, and
everyone on board died. Among the charred bodies in the car, one of them was identified as Addrion's
through DNA testing."
I was stunned by his revelations.
Ronan continued, "But it's precisely because of this record that we could affirm that Addrion was still
alive. That's how we slowly found our way to Northern Myanmar and found clues about Addrion."
"How did you think of Northern Myanmar?" I asked, puzzled.
"It's a place where anything bizarre can happen. We were just checking out possibilities. But we
stumbled upon some footage of Addrion by chance. It was like he had a guardian angel!" Ronan made
a joke.
"And what happened next? How did you get him out?" My curiosity was piqued.
Ronan gave a small smile, a rare warm expression on his face. "It was impossible to go straight in and
get him out of there. Plus, the reason Addrion was sent to the area was a bit tricky. We were afraid to
cause a stir, so we had to outsmart them."
"Outsmart them?" I was even more curious.
"We bribed a cook at a diner in the area to create a false bottom in a trash can. We hid him in there,
took him to the border, and then we were able to bring him back home!"
Upon hearing this, Addrion's eyes reddened, and he choked up. "If you had been a month later, I might
have been a dead body!"
I reached out to touch Addrion's arm, trying to comfort him.
Ronan nodded and continued, "Actually, we had someone arranged to handle the aftermath in the
area, just in case. The news that came back said that they also investigated the incident!
We arranged for a body to be sent in, so disfigured that it was impossible to identify. But they were
vigilant. They checked the details, and when they couldn't find anything, they let it go."
Addrion didn't seem relieved and shook his head. "I don’t think they let it go so easily!"
"All these signs indicate that their people are also in the government's team!" Ronan asserted.
I was shocked. "No wonder Addrion has disappeared so mysteriously. I couldn't find anyone who had Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
any news about him!"
"That's why we can't let him show up!" Ronan said, "Until we find out who's behind everything in
Northern Myanmar, we can't make any rash moves. These guys are desperate! If they find out Addrion
has escaped, they'll smell danger. It won't be good for our future work!"
The chill in his words sent shivers down my spine. I murmured, "I'll go see his wife when I get back!"
Addrion looked lost. "In the past year, I'll be dead and buried in their hearts!"
I looked at Addrion to reassure him, "Don't be so pessimistic. Your wife won't change!"
