Chapter 220 - House Of Secrets (1/2)

The door to the warehouse office opened, two figures walking inside. When Shen Jue raised his head from his laptop, the look in his eyes dimmed for a brief moment.

”Little one, glad you could make it.” He closed his laptop and stood up.

Shen Jue's gaze drifted toward the tall man standing beside Mimi. He narrowed his eyes. While he looked to be laid back on the surface, his smile didn't reach the corners of his eyes.

”Why is he here?” He pointed to Tobias.

Mimi swept an icy gaze over to Shen Jue and plopped down on a chair.

”I trust him. Now tell me what you know about my sister.” She got straight to the point.

”But I don't trust him.” Shen Jue said while blinking innocently.

”And I don't trust you, but I still work with you.” Leaning back in her seat, Mimi curled her lips into a sneer.

She narrowed her eyes, a sharp and dull glint evident in her gaze. While her voice was still soft, her tone was firm.

”Now speak.”

Astonishment showed momentarily in Shen Jue's eyes. After a while, his eyes shift to Tobias, who stared back at him. He was standing ramrod-straight at the door entrance, an icy aura emanating from his frosty expression.

Shen Jue sighed in defeat. ”A few months ago I was looking at some footage of what happened the day of Emily's accident. Before she died, she had visited a house.”

It was Mimi's turn to freeze in shock. She pressed her lips together, her heart thudding in her chest.

She swallowed the lump in her throat and said, ”Whose house?”

Shen Jue shrugged. ”A married couple.”

Mimi's brows furrowed. She put her thoughts in order, and her expression became even more somber.

”Do you have the address?”

A smile appeared on Shen Jue's face. He chuckled with delight, ”I knew you would ask that. I have it printed and ready, we can go there whenever you're ready.”

Taking the paper Shen Jue passed her, Mimi's eyes lit up with a sly glint. Suddenly, someone snatched the piece of paper out of her hands. Shocked, Mimi looked up at the culprit only to see Tobias looking over the paper coolly.

When he finished reading the information, his expression was grave.

”This is a very open neighborhood. Do you expect to let her roam around so exposed after she was just targeted?”

When his gaze met Shen Jue's, a trace of coldness flashed across Tobias's black eyes.

”If this poses any threat to her safety, she comes back with me.” He made the declaration very clear.

Faced with such words from Tobias, the originally warm expression on Shen Jue's face changed. Mimi looked up at him and blinked. There was a faint smile in her eyes, though she wasn't aware of it.

”I already arranged something for that.” Shen Jue said, a smile returning to his face.
