Chapter 808: Chapter 826: Misfortune of Being Just One Step Behind (16)

Upon hearing the length of the sentence, Elijah Smith remained calm and composed as ever. He nodded to the two police officers, thanked them, and then walked out of the interrogation room with the same steady steps he came in, leaving the Public Security Bureau.

He stood at the doorway, looking up at the unchanged weather since he first entered the Public Security Bureau. He squinted slightly.

Afterward, he took a couple of deep breaths, reminding himself of the taste of freedom.

He had no idea how long the police’s in-depth investigation would last, but he knew there were many things that needed to be dealt with quickly.

Elijah Smith slowly opened his eyes, took his car keys from his pocket, and slowly walked towards his car.

As soon as he sat down, his mobile phone rang. It was a call from Ella Adams. Elijah squeezed the phone, blinked gently, and answered it with his usual affectionate and tender voice, "Ella?"

"Elijah, my flight is delayed, I might not get to Bellshire until 7 o’clock tonight. You be good and wait for me at home, ok?"

"Alright." Elijah Smith listened to Ella Adams’ coquettish tone and agreed warmly. In the meantime, he reminded himself that after today, he might never hear her sweet voice again.

"Don’t forget the surprise you promised me..." Ella laughed through the phone, and then said, "Elijah, give me a kiss."

Elijah Smith gently laughed twice.

"A kiss..."

"Mwah..." Elijah Smith gave his phone a loud kiss, making Ella laugh happily on the other end, and she gave him a big kiss back.

After hanging up the phone, Elijah Smith sat in the car for a moment, then picked up his mobile phone and made a call to his best friend, "Judas Bell, remember I told you a few days ago that today, I’ll need you to go to the airport and pick someone up for me? ... Yes, my girlfriend... She called me to say her flight is delayed, and she might arrive around seven. But knowing her, she definitely wants to surprise me. If I guessed right, she’ll probably arrive around five. Head to the airport now and wait for her .... Yes, it is her birthday today... When you see her, act like you’ve run into her by chance at the airport. Make it believable and mention that you saw me at the Shangri-La Hotel... Ella will definitely head straight to the hotel to surprise me... Thank you, buddy..."

.....

Between lovers, if the love is deep, they understand each other.

Elijah Smith’s guess was spot on.

When his friend Judas Bell had been waiting at Bellshire Airport for an hour, he saw Ella Adams walking out of the International Airport’s Exit C with her luggage. He couldn’t help but curse inwardly, "Damn, how does Elijah know his girlfriend so well?"

Turns out, Judas Bell’s acting skills were not too shabby. After cursing, he pretended to casually walk towards Ella Adams. As he passed by her, he took off his glasses and pointed at her, saying, "Hey... You... Aren’t you Elijah Smith’s girlfriend?"
