The CEO’s Pet Cat

Asher’s words were indeed very pertinent. If it was really Director Wang who had done this, then any of Director Wang’s associates, or anyone who knew anything related to this matter, would naturally go to Director Wang’s relatives and control them as long as they were cut off from contact with him, in order to ensure that his affairs would not be revealed and his own safety would be guaranteed. So in order to leave the old fox high and dry, protecting his family was also essential.

“It’s not good!”

A tall man in a black suit came running in in a panic and Claude and Asher each frowned as a bad feeling rose up inside them.

“What’s wrong?” Claude couldn’t understand what was going on that could cause a well-qualified bodyguard to behave in such a panic.

Asher was also confused as to what had happened to make such a fine bodyguard act in such a degrading manner.

The eyes of the visitor were stained with panic, mixed with a hint of complex fear, swallowed, and his dry lips opened, “Director Wang, dead …”

“What!” Almost simultaneously, Claude and Asher let out the same exclamation!

“How is that possible? Didn’t I tell you guys to keep a tight watch, how could this still happen? Are you all rice buckets!” Claude stood up and walked right up to his visitor, sternly bellowing.

“What’s going on?” Asher’s face coalesced into a dark gray beam, the color flashing in his eyes making him unruffled.

“We were supposed to go to the room to bring the man a little something to eat, but when we walked in, the man had actually been killed!” An unknown look of fear spread across the visitor’s face.

“Death in the Chamber?” Claude’s pupils widened a few notches, and he looked incredulously aside at Asher.

“Yes …”

After receiving the affirmation from the visitor, Asher took a deep breath, what the hell was going on? Things were getting complicated, how did this happen just when there was a turn of events!

“Take me.”

“Yes …” After receiving Asher’s order, the bodyguard gathered himself and led Jun and Xiang out of the house.

The place where Director Wang was imprisoned was a small tiled room on the west side of this courtyard.

The courtyard was situated on a hillside in a small town on the outskirts of the city, not only was it secluded, but even the defense of the sitting courtyard was airtight.

When Asher entered the room, he was also startled. As the bodyguard had said, Director Wang was currently collapsed under the table in the right corner, his body bearing various bruises, lying on the floor, and looking sideways, his face was covered in mud.

“How long has it been dead?” Asher frowned and asked the security guard behind him in a deep voice.

“He was already like this when we found out, when it was two hours before Xiang left.”

“Two hours?” Asher approached the side of Director Wang, who was lying on the floor, and touched his neck with his long, slender fingers.

Sure enough, as the bodyguard said, Director Wang’s body was already cold and had no pulse.

But how does one let a closely guarded man die in a secret room to the fists and feet of an outsider?

Asher looked around the room and found no trace of anything, the room was airtight with walls on three sides and only the doorway had an exit, not even a window, how did the man do that?

“Asher, let’s just leave, this is a right and wrong place. Let’s go contact the police now, they’ll investigate.” Claude walked up to Asher and advised.

“Well, good.” Asher stood up and followed Claude to the door.

“Take good care of the scene.”

“Yes.”

Asher gave a complicated look at Director Wang who had fallen to the ground and turned to leave.

In the Jun family cottage, three men were discussing something.

“It was clearly one step away, just this one step! But what the hell is going on, how did he get killed in the secret room?” Nangong asked sitting in the room although he was very anxious, but there was not a single thing he could do.

“I originally thought that old fox, Director Wang, would be a breakthrough, but it’s a good thing that he just died in the secret room without a word.” Claude also had a pity face.

“Hey, unfortunately there’s still no news of Mia.” Claude sighed helplessly, saying what everyone had feared most in their hearts.

“Hey!” Nangong asked, nudging Claude beside him and sweeping a glance across the room at Asher, who had his head down, to signal him to stop mentioning Mia.

Claude glanced at Asher worriedly, the corner of her mouth skimming as worry smeared her heart.

It’s been almost a month since it happened, but it hasn’t gotten any better, so it’s no wonder Asher’s mood isn’t always upbeat.

“But it’s a good thing everyone’s looking now, even the police aren’t in the search camp? Maybe there’ll be a breakthrough too.” Namco asked following Claude’s words with a slightly lighter turn of tone.

“Well, I hope so, too.”

“Mr. Jun, Officer Li is looking for you.” The bodyguard stood in the doorway and bowed, interrupting the silence in the room.

“Well, let’s get Officer Lee in here.” Asher gripped the ring in his hand and put it in the pocket of his shirt, sitting upright and waiting.

The bouncer went out for a moment then walked in with a tall, smartly dressed man who looked to be in his early thirties.

“Officer Lee please sit down.” Asher made a gesture of invitation and motioned for Officer Lee to sit beside him.

“Oh, hello Mr. Jun, hello to you both.” Officer Li had obviously just returned from an errand, and although he wasn’t wearing a police uniform, he couldn’t hide the heroic and competent look between his eyebrows.

“Officer Lee, any news of Mia?” Asher put away his previous feeling of dishevelment and looked at Officer Lee with a straight face, desperate to get anything out of him about Mia, even if it was just a little bit.

Officer Li took off his hat, patted the dust on it, and sighed, “We have sent a large number of police officers to find Miss Luo’s whereabouts, but there is no news yet. But don’t worry, we will do our best to find Miss Mia’s whereabouts.”

“Still no news?” Nangong asked as he had gone through all sorts of puzzles over the past month and solved them quite well, but the only thing was that there was no news from Mia.

“Well, we have launched a full investigation, two surrounding cities have been searched, neither of them have any trace of Miss Mia, now we have to shift our focus to other cities. Miss Mia’s disappearance and the murder of Shengshi Group’s director Wang should be inextricably linked, I think if we contact the headquarters and ask for police support from various cities, it will be much easier to get information.”

“Well, then, I’ll leave it to Officer Lee.” Claude spoke up.

“Regarding the incident of Director Wang’s death, we need a statement, so we still need to ask Mr. Jun and Mr. Xiang to help as witnesses.” Officer Li’s stern gaze swept over Asher and Claude’s bodies, but not noticing any change in their facial emotions, he affirmed what he thought: they had arrested the man, but they hadn’t done it.

Thinking about this, Officer Li sighed longingly, the case is getting more and more complicated ah.

“Okay, is it okay to be right here?”

Asher knew how much of an influence entering the police station was on June, and with the understanding of Officer Lee, the recording of the statement was launched in June’s study.

Half an hour later, the statement was finally finished. After Officer Li said goodbye to everyone, Nangong asked his heart was tense, could they really find Mia?

It’s been a week since the last investigation by Officer Lee, and Asher’s men have been working non-stop every day to find out about Mia, but they still haven’t found anything.

Claude and Namgung ask are not idle either, sending out one set of men after another to hunt for information about Mia’s whereabouts, all to no avail as well.

Just as everyone was confused, Officer Lee reached out to Asher again.

“President, Officer Lee is on the line”, the secretary’s voice came in over the phone and Asher’s heart hung in the air, hopefully we found it this time …

“Well, fetch in,” Asher’s order interrupted the secretary’s gentle voice.

“Hello Mr. June, I think I have something to tell you.”

Officer Lee’s heavy voice came from the other end of the phone, and it made Asher nervous to hear that it couldn’t be the worst …

“Sorry, we tried our best, we have searched 10 cities now, none of them have any news about Miss Luo, our operation will proceed further, please be patient.”

“Buzz–” a loud bang blasted through Asher’s brain, and eventually Mia was still unaccounted for …

Everyone still hasn’t heard anything at all, and now the only possible person who knew how to kill Wang has been secretly assassinated again, which equates to all leads being broken.

Everyone is at a loss, but it’s not the right time to be serious. The Jun family has always loved and liked Mia, and even though the Jun family had some problems with Mia, they liked Mia because they cared about Mia’s character and were not that unenlightened.

“Man, is there still no news from Mia? Could something have happened to her? I’m really worried about her, you said she’s such a kind kid, and it’s impossible to have a grudge with someone, who’s going to joke like this, this joke is not funny at all, don’t you think so?”

Looking at the teary-eyed Wang Yuxin in front of him, Nangong asked the heart really can’t say pity, such a kind girl, not many people will not like it, right?

Looking at Wang Yuxin, who had flung herself into her arms and cried with red and swollen eyes, Nangong asked, his tone couldn’t help but become gentle.

“Xin Xin, it’s okay, you know, Mia is a strong girl, and we have so many people who love her, God will surely bless her too, Asher and Claude are sending people around to ask for news about Mia, just rest assured, she will be fine, trust me, okay?” Nangong asked looking into Wang Yuxin’s eyes with comfort, hoping that she would believe his words and let her know that he was worthy of trust, so as if his abilities were respected.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
