He stomped hard again, and Ryan Foster directly signaled Matthew Reed and the others to take action. The dashcam in his bodyguard’s car had already recorded the first half, and with that as evidence, as long as they didn’t kill Ethan Clark in the latter part, everything would be reasonable and legal.
In fact, according to Ryan Foster’s original plan, killing him outright would have been the most satisfying. He had considered it, but Grace Miller was watching too closely, and he was also afraid of being sent abroad by the old man again.
After all, he still had a lot of messy business unresolved overseas.
Matthew Reed and another bodyguard received the order and were ready to make their final move. “Stop…”
At that moment, a 360-degree surveillance camera rose from the top of a camper van a dozen meters away, and David Thompson’s voice came from above.
At this moment, David Thompson, who was at a window on the seventh floor dozens of meters away, was also watching this side.
He actually thought that at this distance, he could just shout and be heard, but he still used his phone to control the surveillance camera and let the sound come from above.
The sudden voice startled Ryan Foster, Matthew Reed, and the others, and they all looked toward the camper van.
“Stop looking, I’m right here. I’ve already recorded everything you just did, and I’ve already called the inspection team. You’d better let him go right now and wait here for the inspectors to arrive.”
Everything had happened so quickly just now, but fortunately David Thompson managed to record the latter part in time. At this distance, even if he ran downstairs, he wouldn’t have made it in time.
Luckily, two camper vans were equipped with remotely controlled surveillance devices.
Ryan Foster looked at the camera on the camper van, then glanced around. His previously smug mood was completely gone.
At this moment, Ryan Foster was furious. He had specifically found a spot with no surveillance, set up the trap to lure Ethan Clark into making a move, and yet something like this still happened.
“Hmph!”
Ryan Foster snorted coldly. “I don’t care who you are, get out here right now. Don’t go looking for trouble for yourself.”
While threatening, he also looked at the four bodyguards who had just rushed in, and immediately two of them charged toward the camper van.
“Hey, hey…”
David Thompson remained calm. “Don’t do anything stupid. I’m controlling this remotely—there’s no one in the van. Also, don’t even think about damaging anything on the van. Everything I’ve recorded is being sent directly to my phone, and I’ll hand it over to the inspection team. All your actions are under surveillance right now, so you’d better watch yourselves.”
The bodyguards all froze at once, looking to Ryan Foster for instructions.
At this moment, Ryan Foster was angrily scanning the surroundings, but with his eyesight, there was no way he could spot David Thompson on the distant seventh floor.
In fact, the shouting here had already drawn many people to open their windows and watch.
“No need for you to call the inspection team…” Ryan Foster suppressed his anger and looked at Matthew Reed. “Call them. Report to the inspection team.”
Though furious inside, Ryan Foster said nothing more, just stared viciously at the camera on the camper van.
He swore he would never let this damn guy off the hook.
He had never felt so stifled before—his carefully laid plan ruined just like that.
Of course, when he told Matthew Reed to make the call, the look in his eyes was a clear signal.
So what if there was video? He also had footage of Ethan Clark trying to assassinate him. When Matthew Reed and the others subdued him, they could still cripple him.
In fact, with a signal from Matthew Reed, a bodyguard was already pressing down on certain parts of Ethan Clark’s body.
They were professionally trained and knew exactly how to make someone never get up again…
What they didn’t know was that David Thompson could see their actions without the camera, and he had already figured out Ryan Foster’s intentions, so of course David Thompson wouldn’t give them another chance to hurt Ethan Clark.
“You’d better not try anything. This person has already lost the ability to resist or attack. I’ve recorded everything in detail. If he suffers any more injuries, it’ll be clear you’re doing it on purpose.”
“By the way, I’ll be handing the video over to Captain Captain Miller of the Major Crimes Unit. If you’re sure you can get away with even a shred of evidence in Captain Miller’s hands, then go ahead and try something.”
Of course, as he revealed their intentions and plans, David Thompson was already hurrying downstairs with his phone.
The incident had happened so suddenly. Although he could see the other side was hesitant and temporarily intimidated, David Thompson was still worried something might change, so he had to rush down.
“Damn it…” Ryan Foster was grinding his teeth so hard they were about to shatter, cursing through clenched teeth as he failed to find the person.
From childhood to now, even when he went abroad, Ryan Foster had never suffered such humiliation.
He felt a breath stuck in his chest, both stifled and furious.
Even when he was forcibly detained by Grace Miller over the Emily Clark incident, he hadn’t been this angry. Where did this bastard come from, daring to threaten him?
Especially when the other party mentioned Grace Miller, the muscles at the corner of his eyes twitched uncontrollably.
Ryan Foster’s subordinate Matthew Reed didn’t know what to do either. The harsher actions stopped, and they all looked at Ryan Foster, waiting for further instructions.
Of course, even though they didn’t continue, Ethan Clark was still in a bad way.
To be precise, he felt worse than death. It wasn’t just the physical pain—seeing Ryan Foster reminded him of his sister Emily Clark crying on the phone about being raped.
Thinking of his parents going to report it after finding out, he had rushed from school to the Major Crimes Unit, and then…
