Chapter 47 - Investigate the Lim siblings (1/2)

”Bro, t-this doesn't make any sense,” Sun Nan voiced out.

”Agree. Besides, you've mentioned the other day that these criminals aren't related to any syndicate?” Lu Fei expressed his thought.

”I have my doubt too, but one of the criminals confessed that little Ryan is important for Yang Wang. The 13th master of the Yang Clan,” he told them, pausing for a moment before he continued: ”Isn't it too much of a coincidence for his name to be mentioned all of a sudden? Plus, we know that the Prince is a young boy,” he stated his argument with a complicated look on his face. He placed his long masculine leg on the table as he lazily massaged his temple.

In the beginning, he indeed ȧssumed that the kidnap attempt was just a normal case because the subject acted like amateurs when investigated. However, when Bella Lim voiced out her suspicion, he decided to dig deeper. He began to suspect that something was wrong when his team couldn't find any information about the four people in any registry, what more the police records. Nothing!

Yet, those people still acted like they were simply normal citizens trying to find money via child trafficking. No matter what soft method his team used to interrogate them, they continued with their pretense.

Angered, Eric Wu took control of the situation, making use of each second to play with their minds. He added torture too, but that was for severe cases when the subjects completely immune to all the methods he had been using. He actually spent a whole day just to get a statement from one of the subjects. This proved that these people were trained ȧssassins!

When the fallen criminal mentioned Yang Wang. He doubted that it was made up because Yang Wang wasn't someone that could become anybody's friend. That man was a two-faced terrorist!

”The probability is there...” he mumbled but was still heard by Sun Nan and Lu Fei.

”That made sense. Now that I think about it, little Ryan and Bella don't look the same,” Sun Nan raised a startling statement, which alarmed the other two men who were on a video call with him. He saw the two seemed to freeze for a moment. He thought they were doubting him.

”What? I'm giving a valid point here. You can check the picture we took during the gathering. Go and compare!” Sun Nan's penetrating voice echoed. His eyes looked glaring on the screen.

”Calm down! No one is against you,” Lu Fei remarked. He clicked his teeth in annoyance. Although he was well-versed with Sun Nan's sėnsɨtɨvė personality, he had a hard time to digest his sudden mood-swing.

Lu Fei was correct that no one was in disagreement with Sun Nan. Even Eric Wu could tell that Sun Nan brought up an important clue for them to consider. However, siblings that looked different from each other were common everywhere in this world. Nevertheless, it was one point worth considering.

”Why don't we ask Bella?” Lu Fei suggested, but his face was unconvincing. It was weird to ask about her family out of the blue. Besides, bringing up their dead parents could be traumatizing to the siblings.

”I'll have my people investigate her,” Eric Wu made the final decision which was agreed without much fuss by the other two. They also thought that it was the safest way to avoid Bella Lim's suspicion.

”Eric, they need someone to look after them,” Lu Fei uttered. He knew if the news of Ryan Lim as the Prince spread to the enemies' eyes, their life would be in danger.

”Don't worry. It had been taken care of,” Eric Wu replied which made Lu Fei and Sun Nan exhaled in relief. After the kidnapping attempt, he had a few men incognito nearby Bella Lim's home. That was necessary since the two lived in such a secluded place and far from his villa.

The video call ended when Sun Nan remembered he had a photoshoot to attend to. Although there were lots to discuss, they decided to meet up with Eric Wu after he found out everything that needed to be investigated.

Inside the surveillance room, Eric Wu stretched his stiff body. Then, he looked through the recordings of today's interrogation on the computer in front of him. Once he found the whole recordings, he copied them into his Pendrive. Even though today was a tough one, he was satisfied with the spoils. Another good material that he could refer to for his next book.
