Chapter 359 - 359: To Deliver A Package (1/2)

It was exactly 12:00 midnight when Song Zhihao's doorbell let out a loud chime, signaling the anticipated arrival of visitors that came to retrieve the captive inside his 'future office library'.

Switching his TV off and standing from the comfort of his couch, he walked towards the door to receive his guests.

In his head, he imagined them to be the typical mafia-looking men in black that magically make themselves appear and disappear in places without a trace.

However, he was proven wrong as he absolutely didn't anticipated what came next.

Weren't...weren't these people Imperial Jade's employees? Clearly, because he recognize all of them.

”Can I help you?” He asked in puzzlement. What are they here for at this time?

”Sorry for disturbing you at this hour, Mr. Song.” One of the employees greeted him with a polite smile. ”But we're here to deliver your parcel.”

”Parcel? What parcel?” He cranked his neck to the side, and indeed, there was a large package sitting on a trolley behind the men. ”I don't recall ordering something. Are you sure it's mine?”

Smiling rather mysteriously, the employee nodded and hinted, ”It's from Miss Bai.”

Eyes widening slightly in realization, Song Zhihao played it off, saying, ”Oh, right! Sorry, it must've slipped my mind.”

He opened the door completely to let the men in with the large package—now that he think about it, it could fit in a whole a*s a.d.u.l.t.

Entering his unit, free from potential prying ears and eyes, the men proceeded to get straight to the point and ask where the captive was, and Song Zhihao led them in his future office library—oh what the heck.

Fine, he'll call it a bas.e.m.e.nt just because calling it his future-office-library is a mouthful.

Observing one of the condominium's employees carrying the unconscious captive—courtesy of Song Zhihao—without any signs of difficulty, the doctor couldn't help but be curious.

How did Lillie Bai bought these guys to do her bidding? Are these people really normal civilians who were tempted by money? If so, aren't they afraid of being caught by authorities?

But, impressively, look at these guys go. There's not a hint of anxiousness nor fear in their faces and body language. It's almost as if...they're used to it.

”You're not really this condo's employees, are you?”

”We're not here to answer queries, Mr. Song.” The employee carrying the unconscious captive shot him a close-eyed, dark smile that gives off the vibe of an evil anime character when they're hiding something.

Song Zhihao wisely listened and stopped probing. He reminded himself that he's no longer a Demon—he left that part of him for years now—and that he should stay away and not associate himself with people from the Underworld as much as possible.

”Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Song, we'll be taking our leave now.” The employees tipped their caps and turned to see their way out as one pushes the trolley with the large package that contained their captive's body.

”It's best if we don't speak of this again, Mr. Song.” But before they exit his unit, the man that warned him before halted.

Facing Song Zhihao, the employee sends him another one of that enigmatic smile. ”Tomorrow onwards, not a single word of this encounter is spoken between us, okay?”

Puzzled by his odd statement, Song Zhihao slowly nodded in compliance without any protest.

Satisfied of his answer, the employee nod at him one last time before he and his co-workers left.

Song Zhihao closed his door, his mind filled with questions. The silence of his unit didn't helped in shaking off the eeriness that clung onto his bones since those weird employees arrived.
