The shadow's head shook a little, his straight back became bent and his voice became slightly hoarse. He put on an air of being frightened and stammered, "You…who are you? I don't know you."
Kerry approached step by step. His eyes fixed on the shadow and said coldly, "Gavin, stop pretending, do you think you can fool me with a little trick?"
The shadow kept his head down, his eyes were invisible, full of fear though. Then he retorted, "You recognized the wrong person. I am not the one you mentioned."
"Really?" Kerry stopped more than a meter away from the shadow. "If you're not Gavin, what are you doing outside Ye's villa in the middle of the night? Enjoy the scenery? "
"I…I'm just a tramp. I sleep wherever I go. I happened to walk by Ye's house today and I'm too lazy to move anymore. I didn't expect to..."
"Well, what a great make-up story. Unfortunately, I don’t believe a single word of it. Let me see your face. " Kerry's voice was harsh and ruthless.
The shadow stepped back a few, seemingly very timid, and shook his head constantly, "No, you'd better not watch it. My face has been injured and I don’t want people to see it."
"Of course you don't want people to see it. You're afraid I'll recognize you," Kerry said sarcastically.
The shadow, with head still lowering down, said hoarsely, "We don't know each other at all. How can I be afraid that you will recognize me?"
"Well, look up, let me see you then."
As the words fell, eight or nine beams of light shed on the shadow, lighting him up brightly.
Although the shadow bent his back, it could be seen that he was very tall, about 1.8 meters or above. His clothes were very ordinary, but clean, without any stains.
Kerry checked him up and down, and the speculation in his heart was certain.
"Look up." Kerry said in a shrill voice.
The shadow hesitated for a moment, and slowly raised his head. Then, the beams of light followed his face. Kerry and almost everyone's heart gushed out a feeling of nausea.
As the shadow said, his face had been injured, and it was quite a serious injury. This face could hardly be called a face. It was like that it had been bitten and gnawed by something, leaving a hole. The whole facial skin was wrinkled together, which squeezed the facial features out of shape.
The pair of eyes were not as deep and insidious as imagined, but too turbid to see what was inside.
Kicking the pebbles under the feet, Kerry said lightly, "As I just said, you're out of luck. What are you guys waiting for? Do it now."
Then, several bodyguards came up and pressed the man down on the ground. There were no traces of opportunity for the man to resist.
Fists and feet hit on him like heavy hammers one after another. The man yelled at the top of his voice, "Help, help!" This was the villa area, and it was midnight, so no one passed by. No one would hear him even if he broke his throat by yelling.
The other despair to the man was that his yelling attracted another group of people. The attracted was not others but Tianye Mu.
"Who is this man?" Tianye looked at the man rolling on the ground and asked Kerry.
"Just found here. I think he’s very suspicious." Kerry glanced at the man who had been beaten and bleeding, showing no trace of warmth in eyes, and he went on, "We didn't find anyone else. He just came out of the woods and ran into me."
Tianye looked down at the man’s face carefully. Startled, he asked in a low voice, "Is this the bastard?"
Kerry shrugged and deliberately said, "Not sure."
