Chapter 691 - A shackle (1/2)

The man's eyelids lifted.

A tall man whom Gunan had never seen before entered the room. He had a suitcase in his hand like the others.

Gunan observed him as he entered.

New shoes. New suitcase. And an I.D that had no signs of wear.

Gunan's eyes flashed.

He glanced at the time. It was already past ten. The interrogation usually takes place around 6pm to 9pm. This had been the case in the past two days.

And the people who interrogated him were three officers in rotation.

Tonight was the first time he had seen this man.

Gunan had a thought. His heart raced as he glanced at the four cameras in the room.

The lights were not blinking.

Gunan swallowed.

His eyes became cautious as he watched the man put the briefcase and his phone on the table.

The tall man did not speak and simply stared at him.

Gunan found the man's staring uncomfortable. He felt as if he was being judged and laughed at.

He narrowed his eyes coldly.

”Who sent you here?”

The tall man spoke calmly. ”Master sent me here.”

”...!”

Gunan's cold face collapsed.

Master...

He knew in an instant who was the master this man was talking about.

”Master is very disappointed. Not only did you fail to 'prove' yourself, but you also endangered your master by revealing your identity.”

Gunan's back chilled. He swallowed heavily.

So his master had heard about it. It was no surprise, because the news had already spread far and wide.

The dreadful situation which Gunan hoped would never come awfully arrived, as if by predetermined fate.

”Let me talk to my master. I will explain this to him. ”

”You are nothing but a useless slave now. Even if you beg the master, he would not save a useless pawn like you.”

Gunan: !!!

His eyes went ablaze.

This spy must be one of those lowly subordinates who were jealous of the privilege given to him by the master.

”Look who's talking. A dog only barks and does what its master says. Just do what you came here to do,” Gunan replied haughtily.

The tall man was irked, but was also afraid that his master would know his words.

If it was not for the master's order, he would have abandoned Gunan here right now.

Alas, no time should be wasted. He dialed their master's number and kept the complaints to himself.

Gunan could not help but wonder at his master's power.

His master had spies here in the national investigation team, one of the strictest departments in which many spies failed to get in. Even though this spy was arrogant and annoying, the fact that he managed to mix in showed his capabilities and how deep and wide Ming Zhi Yi's connections were.

Hope came to Gunan's heart. Since his master was so powerful, he could surely get him out of here, couldn't he?

Ring… Ring…

Ding.

The sound of the call getting answered made Gunan wake up from his daze.

The tall man respectfully spoke. ”Master, I have Gunan with me.”

”Speak.” The master's voice sounded.

It was only one word spoken, yet Gunan could feel the man's disappointment with him.

A chill started to slowly creep on his back.

He knew what fate awaited those people who disappointed their master. But, he… he had the privilege to call him 'father'… He might be given a special privilege unlike the others...

”Master, it's Gunan. I made a mistake. But the master can rest assured, I have countermeasures prepared in place. If master helps me this once to solidify the founding doc.u.ments of Univ One and push the planned scapegoat out to the public, everything will be solved--”

”Gunan.” A chilling voice interrupted him.

Gunan swallowed. ”Y-yes, master.”

”Do you know what you have done wrong?”

Snicker.

A low snicker came from the tall man in front of Gunan.

Gunan looked at him. His eyes burned darkly, seeing the spy look down mockingly on him.

This man had been annoying him since earlier.

However, it was not the time to berate others.

”...Yes master. I am wrong.”

”You haven't told me yet why.”

”Master, I, I became careless and let others fool me. But master, I can solve this if you help me just this once! ”

”Gunan. You still don't understand why you got fooled by others. You don't understand what you did wrong.” The voice sighed.
