Chapter 256 - Chairpersons Voice (1/2)

Translator: Lonelytree  Editor: Millman97

Lychee licked her lips excitedly like she had just remembered something wonderful. She went into the restroom anxiously and took out a lipstick from her purse to redo her make-up when her phone rang.

“An unregistered number?” Lychee tossed her make-up kit back into her purse. She was rather annoyed that the caller had ruined the mood that she was in. She tried to arrange her emotions to make her tone and voice sound as normal as she could. “Such a joykill.”

Lychee picked up the phone and walked to the door of the recording studio. “Hello, how can I help you?”

Her sweet voice was like a fruit champagne, fresh and bubbly. Hear it too much and one might get drunk.

“No. 5 is dead. I need you to come to Fang Hwa Apartments’ 24th floor now.” The person on the other end of the phone was not seduced by her voice and got straight to the point.

“Dead‽” Lychee’s bleeding fingers slowly pulled taut, and the blood fell on her phone’s pink casing.

“I don’t care what No. 5 told you or what your relationship is; I need you to come over now.”

“Now?” Lychee hesitated. She held the phone in one hand and opened the door with another. The corridor outside was incredibly quiet. The room door opened a sliver, and Lychee pressed, “How is his death related to me? Why should I go to the 24th floor?”

“If you don’t want to die, come immediately!” The voice on the phone filtered out the door through the open gap.

“Fine.” Lychee opened the door fully. She just took half a step outside when she saw the head of a scary hammer flying at her. She did not even have the chance to scream before she was knocked back into the studio.

The pain registered several seconds later, and a shrill scream exited the recording studio. Chen Ge picked up the phone that fell to the floor and put it beside his ear.

“No. 12?” There was a chilling and raspy sound coming from the other end. The person was using a fake voice, but even so, Chen Ge felt that the voice was rather familiar. Chen Ge wanted to continue to listen in, but the person seemed to realize something was wrong and hung up immediately.

Even though I only heard a little, that is a huge reward already.

Standing in the darkened corridor, Chen Ge flashed a smile, holding Lychee’s phone. All the members were not supposed to know each other’s identity, but the person who called Lychee was the obvious exception. He even knew the connection between Lychee and No. 5, so he had called to warn Lychee to leave.

The owner of this voice is probably the chairperson who is controlling everything from the shadows.

Chen Ge compared the voices that he had heard at the ghost stories society, and he could be certain that the voice did not belong to the first man on the left, No. 5, or No. 10.

The range is slowly closing in. Detaining him will collapse the entire society.

Placing Lychee’s phone on the table, Chen Ge stood guard at the door as he called Captain Yan. Captain Yan’s team mobilized faster than Western Jiujiang’s police team. They arrived in less than ten minutes. Chen Ge put away his hammer, suggested that the police examine Lychee’s home, and then told them about how she had killed her ex-husband.

The few people had been taken away from investigation. At the station, Chen Ge ran into Captain Yan again. The slightly rotund police office looked worse for wear.
