Chapter 282 - Youre an idiot (1/2)
The knock on his study's door made Muchen raise his head for the first time in hours.
He thought it was Heya because he knew Minde did not bother to knock and just barged in like the place belonged to him.
But he was really surprised when he saw Minde come in after asking whoever was outside to come inside.
”Are you okay?” He asked when he saw how haggard Minde looked.
He was still in the dress he had worn out last night and he looked like he had not slept a wink the entire night.
Although he looked that way, he could still see a slight trace of excitement in his eyes.
Minde blew off his question, hinting that he did not want to talk about it before saying his piece.
”I've been digging all night and found some interesting news.”
”Digging all night? Since when did you have such zeal? And what happened to your cheek”
Muchen raised a brow at him when he saw the purple bruise on his cheek.
”Got into a fight again?”
”I didn't get into a fight. I tried to save someone and ended up like this.” He said with a frown.
”You...Li Minde..tried to save someone?” He asked in an almost disbelief tone.
”Let's not just talk about it. But how about you? You don't sleep at all? You were in the study when I arrived at midnight right?”
Muchen decided not to push him to talk and simply nodded.
”Try being the CEO and let's see if you'll still sleep.”
”But I trust you. You'll still sleep” Muchen mocked.
”You came in around 3:54 in the morning and got to your room around 3:60am. What were you thinking about that you had to walk so sluggishly?”
Minde looked at him in surprise. ”How did you know that?”
”If I don't know who comes in and go out my apartment, how can I live comfortably? Well, back to you. Said you had something right?”
”Oh. Yes.” Minde moved to his side with a iPad in hand.
”Remember we read the news about the Song elders arrest right?”
Muchen nodded to that.
They had both been surprised when Ms Long called to inform them even before the news went round. And when it later did, they had both watched the news together.
”So I was able to find something out. Immediately the news of their arrest spread round, guess what happened?”
Muchen looked at him with eyes which implied that he was not interested in playing around and so Minde became serious.
”Well, a lot of people lost their jobs. And I mean, a whole lot of people did.”
”It's normal since they placed even the unworthy in high positions. Now that they are out, what's the point of people still keeping their flies around?” Muchen added.
”Exactly my point. But here is what I found really interesting.” He clicked on something on the iPad and revealed a picture of a man.
”Who is he?” Muchen asked.
”Park Chen. Head chef of Delight.”
”So?”
”I was just looking into everyone and when I looked into him, I found some really strange things. First of all, he worked in Sara's grandparents' restaurant as her grandfather's apprentice.”
It seemed Muchen knew where he was going to because he suddenly sat up. ”Go on.” He urged.
”Immediately after Sara's grandparents' arrest, he was able to secure a job in delight. And not just as a chef, but the second in command at the kitchen. Don't you think it is strange?”
”It definitely is.” Muchen's eyes darken.
It was very likely that this Park Chen was involved in everything somehow.
”Guess they were all tired of the meal he makes. They were good but, he had been using the same recipe for years. Seemed they were tired of keeping him but could do nothing because the Songs placed him there. So immediately the were out, he was fired!”
”Interesting.” Muchen said with a dark glint in his eyes before taking his phone to call someone.
”My Hwang. I'll transfer some details to you now. I want you to find everything you can about the man and send it to me by tonight. Okay?”
He was about to hang up when the Mr Hwang spoke.
”Erm...CEO Li... The thing is, the Liu family's young mistress, Liu Weiyoung, has been trying to get in contact with you.”
Muchen frowned when he heard her name. He was not good with remembering insignificant names and people but thanks to Sara, he had to know the names of everyone who had bullied her right from when was in grade school.
”Why are you telling me? You should get rid of her.” He hissed.
”Erm...CEO Li...she said it's in regards to your Miss. Miss Wang. I would have called to let you know ever since but I couldn't since you mentioned not to call you if it's not business related.”
'In regards to Sara? What was that ugly lady scheming again?'
”Tell her I don't listen to gossips and if she still tries to contact you, let her know I may get angry.”
Having said that, he ended the call.
”Who was that?” Minde asked curiously.
Muchen was about to say ”From your Ex-girlfriend” but he decided against it and smacked his head instead.
”Ouch bro... What did I do to deserve this?” He whined as he used a hand to rub the back of his head.
”What were you thinking dating Liu Weiyoung back then? So embarrassing.” He tsked at him before turning serious again.
”So what's next?”
Minde furrowed his brows in confusion. Why was he suddenly getting angry at him because of something that happened two years ago?
He did not want to go into that so he simply went straight to the point.
”Sorry about this but ever since I noticed you like Sara, I've been doing a little digging on her. I did not find much though. But I think something is fishy somewhere”
Again, he scrolled down the iPad. After tapping a few things, some details appeared.
”First, let's talk about where she disappeared to at a certain time.”
