568 newfound obsession (1/2)

”She's really an orphan?” Jarred Guo asked over the phone.

”Hmm...” Nico Zhuang hummed a tune as he departed the orphanage where their intelligence informed him where Mia Chen came from. ”She and her mentally ill brother.” He added.

This fresh information surprised Nico Zhuang. So, it shocked Jarred Guo momentarily as well.

”What? She has a brother? Where is he?” After a second, Jarred Guo immediately inquired.

From their investigation, Mia Chen didn't have a family. They had seen her track records but her personal details weren't disclosed.

The only thing that made Jarred Guo alarmed which caused him to go back to Mia Chen's case was because of the occurrence last night. Thinking back at Mia Chen's sudden change of mood when their masters confronted her, it was quite suspicious.

Therefore, Jarred Guo had a gut feeling that the person who helped Mia Chen behind the scenes, and the person behind this blackmailing incident, were the same person. The pattern of how far they could go willingly, Jarred Guo was alarmed that these vile people they see were also victims at some point.

”No idea,” Stopping in his tracks, Nico Zhuang looked around as he clicked his tongue in annoyance. Resting his hand on his hips, an upset sigh escaped his mouth. ”But what I'm certain is that Mia Chen knew where he is.”

”Okay, I'll visit her today. Thanks.” Jarred Guo nodded his head despite that Nico Zhuang wasn't seeing him.

”Alright,” with that said note, Nico Zhuang ended the call. Although these types of investigation wasn't really his forte, it didn't mean he was bad at it.

Nico Zhuang was more comfortable being his master's shadow guard. Being Lexi's assistant actually took him quite an effort to be used to it.

Still, he was not liking how this story unfolds. Suddenly, Nico Zhuang recalled Churu's inquiry: ”what's the relationship between Lou and Dylan?”

Nico Zhuang didn't understand why it suddenly floated in his mind. But thinking about it, Nico Zhuang's heart pounded.

Somehow, his gut feeling was telling him that the person behind was one of the Lu's. Although he shouldn't be surprised because the Lu Family was full of scheming people, still, Nico Zhuang thought who might it be?

Louis Lu? Considering the said man was acquainted with Seraphina's shady group, it would make sense. However, Nico Zhuang was still unconvinced.

Based on his understanding, Louis Lu wouldn't resort to such lowly scheme. If anything, Louis Lu would play his cards much wiser and direct. He would let his enemies known where he stood and admit if he was a foe or not.

Therefore, Nico Zhuang although he didn't scratch the possibility, it reduced his suspicion towards Louis Lu. On the other hand, Dylan Lu was suspicious in every way.

Still, Dylan Lu never showed interest in coveting the Lu Corporation. Dylan Lu also had his chances back when Louis Lu started his own company and Ethan Lu cut ties with the Lu family.
