Chapter 260 - The one that can shred humans into pieces? (2/2)
”He's injured as well. I threw a vase at him, that hit badly on the head.” Surprised, he was not knocked out. ”Anyway, you said evidence. Did you find any?”
”Evan had been stalking Suyin even before I met her. I saw her old photographs on his desktop.”
”What?”
”This only means Suyin had been part of all this from the beginning.” James faced Zeng, ”But why?” and that's when he noticed Zeng's attention wasn't focused on his eyes but down. No, not on the crotch but on the hands.
”You are bleeding, James,” Zeng said.
James covered his badly scr.a.p.ed palms. ”Because I was the one holding the rope, bearing the weight of two. Can't believe you are such a faint heart, muscles inflamed by air. Go drown yourself somewhere.”
”....”
For the first time Zeng was out of words. He had expected James to be only good with handling knives in the kitchen, but the latter turns out to be more than that. No doubt Suyin had such drastic changes in her personality..... She found some good people in life.
.....
In the hospital...
”Thanks for the story guys, you helped me a lot,” Suyin stood up and pecked James's cheek. ”Take care of your hands. Don't let water touch it. Got to go,”
Zeng, ”Hey, where's my kiss?”
”Get it from Jamie,” Suyin's voice echoed, making the two men comically turn their heads to each other.
Both gagged.
”WHAT? What are you staring at?” James asked, bothered by an irritating smirk on Zeng's face.
”Nothing. Just wondering how will you do your business with these bandaged hands?”
”I have taken off for a few days. No need to worry about me.”
”I'm not talking about cooking..... but.....the personal business.” Zeng grinned, ”The one that's supposed to be done every morning....Hey!” Zeng dodged the flying pillow, ”Oops, you missed it.”
”GET LOST.”

Suyin was in a hurry to check the contents of the pen-drive ASAP. Daiyu managed to unlock it with minimum effort.
She hailed a cab as her car was in the club which gave her another reason to be irritated. She's late already. And here she was thinking to take the day early off and give a visit to Zena, whose address she found from Daiyu's office from Zena's file which coincidently was kept on his table.
So many coincidences!
And good luck!
When she exited the elevator, the receptionist greeted her with a smile.
”Good morning. Where is Assistant Long?” It's unusual for Assistant Long not to come to receive Suyin and inform her day's schedule.
”Um, there's a VIP visitor waiting for you in the office. Assistant Long and Minister Yuan are with him.”
The word VIP didn't go well with Suyin. ”Who?”
”Minister Wu Sean.” The pretty receptionists' eyes sparkled with excitement. No need to guess why that happened. ”Mam, do you need flowers?” Suyin's raised brows silenced her. ”Sorry,” It's true Suyin was lower in position, but that doesn't mean she'd receive a minister with flowers.
Suyin stomped her heels to her office, not forgetting to take deep breaths to control her temper. Whenever people had barged into her office without an appointment, things had turned bad. For them, obviously.
