Chapter 755: Chapter 754: Vicious Entrapment (8)

Bella Acker was talking to the old man on the phone while organizing her bag, making sure she had everything she needed.

"Ah, okay, okay. Young Acker, I’ll wait for you to come over. Don’t rush, if you’re driving, be careful and stay safe, I’m fine." The old man advised over the phone.

"I’m taking a taxi over. Old man, are you back home or sitting in the hallway?"

"Huh?" The old man was stunned and immediately changed his words from at home to, "In... in the hallway, sitting down, can’t move, oh dear."

"Then stay there and don’t move, I’ll be there in no more than forty minutes."

"Okay, okay, I won’t move, I won’t move." After hanging up the phone, the old man immediately tapped the driver’s seat with his cane, urging, "Drive faster, go to Serenity Road. Young Acker is coming soon, we need to arrive before her. And these clothes I’m wearing..."

The woolen coat the old man was wearing today was obviously not cheap, and wearing it while sitting in the hallway wouldn’t make him look pitiful.

The old man’s eyes darted around, spotting a roadside store that started selling early. Outside, a rack was hung with clothes, and there was a sign saying fifty to one hundred yuan.

"Park on the roadside."

The driver didn’t understand but quickly drove the car to the side.

One of the bodyguards immediately got out to open the car door, and the old man got out, heading straight to the discount clothes store.

The shop owner, who was cleaning, glanced at the old man, then turned back to continue wiping the glass with a cloth.

The old man’s clothes were clearly high-end, unlikely to shop at a small store like theirs.

As the shop owner finished muttering in his mind, he saw the old man walk into the store and say, "Boss, I want that sweater and down jacket."

"Huh?" The shop owner was caught off guard but quickly reacted, "Alright, I’ll pack them up for you."

It seemed like a good omen to start the day off with such a straightforward sale.

The shop owner, feeling pleased, quickly pulled out a plastic bag to pack the clothes.

The old man said, "I’ll wear the clothes out, do you have a fitting room?"

"Yes, yes, it’s over here." The shop owner quickly directed him.

The old man turned to the bodyguards and said, "Wait here for me." Then he took the newly bought sweater and down jacket and went into the fitting room.

After changing into the clothes, the old man checked himself in the mirror, also messing up his hair a bit. Besides his well-maintained face that looked younger than most elderly folks, he somewhat appeared like a normal old man.

The old man was very satisfied.

One of the bodyguards quickly went to the fitting room to neatly fold and collect the old man’s replaced clothes, while another bodyguard paid the bill.

The old man was very pleased with his makeover and looked at the shop owner approvingly, "Boss, wish you prosperous business."

"Ah, thank you for your kind words." The shop owner collected the money with a smile and saw the old man out of the store, watching him get into the car with a puzzled click of the tongue, "Tsk, sitting in a Bentley yet deliberately buying cheap clothes, truly the world of the wealthy is hard to understand."

Meanwhile, Bella Acker changed into an ordinary sweatshirt, wore a wool hat and a mask, and made sure that this attire wouldn’t attract any attention on the street. She then put away her bag and only took her wallet and phone as she went out.

Bella Acker walked out of the hotel lobby, glanced around casually, and only relaxed after ensuring there was nothing unusual. She then adjusted her mask and caught a taxi at the door to head to Serenity Condos on Serenity Road.

The old man was sitting in the hallway, and from afar he saw Bella Acker’s silhouette, he began to call out, "Oh dear, my old body is in such pain."
