Chapter 1150 A Talkative Friend (2)

Brian put down his phone and turned to look into Joanne's confused eyes. He couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Joanne looked at Brian curiously. "Who is Rolando? Why have I never heard you mention him?"

Brian explained calmly, "Rolando's identity is a little special. I usually don't mention him for no reason. It's not strange that you haven't heard of him."

"I see." Joanne suddenly understood and nodded. "No wonder..."

Looking at Joanne, Brian suddenly realized something and looked at her with some amusement. "Do you think he's a special someone to me?"

Joanne had never heard of many of his friends, but she was particularly interested in Rolando.

According to Brian's understanding of Joanne, that was probably because of how long he had been on the phone.

"Well, isn't he?" Joanne said, "You've talked to him for such a long time!"

This was not the first time that this misunderstanding had happened.

This answer was also completely within Brian's expectations.

Brian smiled and said, "In fact... you should have heard of him."

Joanne shook her head in a daze and said sincerely, "I swear I have not! It appears that he's really talkative. If I have heard of him, I will definitely have an impression of him."

"Rolando is a graduate of the police school, the youngest son of Chief Taylor." Brian looked at Joanne calmly. "And? Do you know him?"

"Rolando... is Chief Taylor's youngest son?"

Joanne soon recalled that she had indeed heard some rumors about Chief Taylor's family when she worked at the police station.

Most of those rumors were about the youngest son of Chief Taylor.

It was said that the young man was very smart. He was a top student in the police school, and his professional ability could even crush professional teachers. He often roasted the teacher in class.

In addition, there were many rumors in the office about the young master's rebellion.

Several of Joanne's colleagues in the police station were Rolando's senior brothers and sisters, and even classmates.

Rolando was the idol of the students in the police school. Not only because he was smart, but also because he was good at sports. Whether it was an ordinary sports competition or a professional shooting competition, his scoreboard would always be very dazzling.

It was as if he was a natural-born expert who had left everyone else behind.

However, Rolando was also the kind of student who would make the teacher grit his teeth and call out his name.

Joanne never thought that Brian knew Rolando.

"But isn't Chief Taylor surnamed Taylor? So Rolando doesn't take his father's surname?"

Brian knew what Joanne was thinking at a glance. He told her directly, "Rolando uses his mother's surname."

Joanne asked uncertainly, "So Rolando directly uses his father's surname as his first name?"

Gavin had also asked the same question when he was in America.

Rolando seemed to have gotten used to it. He told them with a poker face that his parents thought it would be easier to name him in this way.

Brian repeated Rolando's original words to Joanne.

Joanne thought for a moment and suddenly felt conflicted on behalf of Rolando. She asked in confusion, "Well, that's quite convenient for his parents, isn't it?"

Brian raised his eyebrows. "Rolando said that his mother thought it was very interesting."

Joanne felt sorry for Rolando for a bit somehow.

This matter probably laid a foundation for Rolando's later unrestrained life.

"Ahem!" Joanne tried her best to look very serious. "When I see Rolando in the future, I'll try not to laugh."

"You can laugh at it." Brian said calmly, "Rolando has long been used to it."

Joanne sympathized with Rolando and could not help shaking her head. "What a poor child."

Brian smiled and thought that Joanne was still too simple.

He patted her head and said, "You don't know him well enough."

After knowing Rolando well enough, Joanne would not feel that he was pitiful anymore.

"What?" Joanne looked at Brian in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"You'll know in the future." Brian made it clear to Joanne that she should change the topic. "Joanne, you can ask another question."

"Well, I still have one last question." Joanne was really confused, and her beautiful eyes were shining with confusion. "What does Rolando do? According to what he just told you, does he know a lot of things about us?"

"Chief Taylor has secretly set up a task force to investigate Rowdy with us. Rolando is the person in charge of this task force." Brian thought for a moment and told Joanne the truth. "Chief Taylor has told Rolando everything about us and Rowdy, so Rolando knows everything to a point."

"A task force?" Joanne used to work in the police station, so of course she knew what a task force meant. "It sounds amazing."

Brian had to state a disappointing fact. "Rolando is the only member of this task force."

"Pfft-" Joanne couldn't help but laugh. "If Rolando knew the truth, he would be very upset."

The task force was just a title to lure Rolando, wasn't it?

In fact, Chief Taylor and Brian were just using Rolando to exchange their investigation information. After all, their identities were very special and it would not be appropriate for them to meet frequently.

Rolando had been used blatantly.

"Rolando is the most suitable candidate. We have no other choice." Brian raised his eyebrows. "Don't worry about him. He is probably... no longer upset."

Rolando was a smart man. It was impossible for him not to know the meaning of his task force.

In the end, he still took over the case, mainly to help Brian and Wesley, and secondary, to face the great challenge.

Of course, according to Rolando's character, it was impossible for him to say that.

Brian picked up his phone and dialed Wesley's number.

Recently, Wesley should be paying close attention to Rowdy's movements at all times.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have known that Rowdy would take Yuna to the banquet so soon.

It was good that Wesley knew it. Brian no longer needed to hesitate about whether he should tell him about it.

Now, Brian only wanted to know what Wesley was going to do.

Wesley had been waiting. As soon as his mobile phone rang, he immediately answered it.

Brian spoke first. "Rolando called. He asked you not to act rashly."

Wesley was a little surprised and asked in a puzzled voice, "Rolando is willing to take this case?"

Given Rolando's personality, he wouldn't take a case like this so easily.

Brian speculated, "Rolando should have been pressured." Then, he changed the subject. "However, that's not the point."

Joanne silently felt sorry for Rolando again.

Probably because of Rolando's nice character, he had been oppressed and exploited by Brian and Wesley to work so hard.

Wesley obviously did not have Joanne's sympathy. On the contrary, he agreed with Brian very much. "I also don't think that's the point."

Since it wasn't the point, there was no need to discuss it.

Brian changed the subject and asked in a dignified voice, "Wesley, do you have any plans?"

Of course, Wesley had his own plan.

He really missed Yuna.

That kind of missing had caused many changes in his life.

Wesley almost couldn't remember the last time he saw Yuna. When he dreamt at midnight, he could only see Yuna's face full of pain.

Before he could come up with a way to relieve her pain, a strong sense of crisis told him that even if he was seeing Yuna in his dreams, who looked painful, he was very likely to lose her.

That was the biggest threat that Wesley had ever encountered in his life.

Fortunately, fate still gave him a chance.

At that moment, he had a chance to save Yuna.

He would do it at the banquet.

If Rowdy wanted to develop his business in the financial circle of Arlington and compete with Brian in the financial field, he had to constantly strengthen the Scott Group and attend various banquets to develop contacts.

Rowdy would definitely not miss this banquet.

For Wesley, there was only one chance. He could bring Yuna back while Rowdy took her to the banquet.

There was something surging from the bottom of Wesley's heart. There was a kind of desire that almost broke through his heart and formed a specific shape in the air.

The complicated emotions made Wesley's voice a little bitter, but he said word by word very clearly, "I'm going to bring Yuna back."

Brian did not feel surprised at all.

If he were Wesley and Joanne was kept by Rowdy, his thoughts might be more intense than Wesley's.

But he was not Wesley. At this time, what he needed to do was to stay calm and remind Wesley of the risks he might face.

"Wesley," Brian said slowly, "Rolando just called and specially asked you not to make a scene in public. Also, if you take action, Yuna may get hurt."

Wesley didn't speak.

He had thought about what Rolando had said.

If Rowdy brought Yuna out to the banquet, it was impossible for him not to have thought that Wesley would take action.

Rowdy would definitely do some defensive work, and the people he would bring would definitely not be fewer than those arranged by Brian and Wesley.

If they fought against Rowdy at the reception, it would be a head-on fight.

At that time, the scene would definitely be chaotic.

Once Rowdy found something wrong in the chaos, he would rather destroy Yuna than let her go back to Wesley.

Even if Wesley and Yuna were good at acting and they could hide their real attempt from Rowdy, Yuna might get hurt in the chaos.

If it were in the past, a minor injury would not hurt Yuna.

But at the moment, she was pregnant, and the safety of the baby was closely related to her.

Even if the baby was slightly hurt, it would affect Yuna and directly threaten her safety.

Once Yuna had an accident because of the baby, all her secrets would be exposed to Rowdy.
