42 PLEASE SPEAK FREELY (2/2)

”How can we help you?” he inquired sympathetically.

With a sob and a sniff, Jian Ru finally spoke.

”I am not sure it is anything, but I am really worried. I don't know what to do.”

”If you do not tell us, we cannot do anything. Please speak freely.” The other security guard spoke.

”Well, it's just that I think I accidentally saw a women drug a drink and give it to our CEO. She has not come back, and it has been over an hour. I didn't know if I should say anything. May be I am overreacting.” She started to leave.

She knew that if she made a firm and direct accusation, she might be treated as normal witness. They might even question her motives. Her goal was to become a scared and troubled girl who might have seen something and could not stand for injustice

”Miss, please wait.” The second guard spoke quickly.

They did not care about a random CEO, but if they did not solve the problem, it could come back to haunt the reputation of Demesne. Their mission was to protect the hotel from all threats. If a person was drugged and taken advantage of, the high-profile persons who valued the hotel would no longer feel safe.

”Who is your boss? We will find out more.” His voice sounded serious.

Jian Ru looked around nervously before speaking in a low voice.

”I work for Etude Technologies.” She whispered as if she did not dare mention a name.

The faces of the guards changed quickly at the words. That statement changed everything. If it was the young master of the Zhong family, they could not afford any delays. However, they could not help wonder. How could anyone have the guts to poison him within the territory of his protective family?

Without further ado, the guards stepped back from Jian Ru who also tactfully moved a small distance away. One of the guards spoke to the CCTV surveillance personnel while the other contacted Zhong Mian. Even if it was not a confirmed problem, they could not leave any room for mistakes. It was better to report a false incident than to overlook anything.

After a few moments, one of the security guards beckoned to Jian Ru. He told her that they were following up on the matter and might need to ask some questions. After speaking a few more words of comfort, he told her to wait for follow-up in the reception lounge.
