77 Played By Miss (2/2)

Shadow quickly dropped to the balcony, replying in the process, before putting the phone into his pocket, ”I know! Hold on!” Looking through the glass doors, the thing that he was worried about happened. He didn't spot anyone in the apartment. He still had to go in and check to make sure, so he picked the flowerpot and smashed the glass doors, sending the fragments everywhere in the room.

He immediately went inside, running towards the bathroom first but he didn't find anyone. Looking at the apartment, there was no Wuxing anywhere which made him curse, shouting to the phone, ”Damn! He is gone!” As he said that, he walked to the closet which he didn't check and suddenly heard some sounds coming from the inside.

Thud! Thud!

The doors shook as if someone started hitting it with his legs. Shadow pulled out his gun on instinct and aimed at the doors, reaching out to open it.

What he saw inside was a naked lawyer he saw earlier, having his hands tied behind his back and mouth gagged with a long sock. When the lawyer saw the gun pointed at him by an unknown dude, he tried to talk to Shadow but only silenced sounds came out of his mouth, ”Mhmm, mhmm!”

Taking out the phone, Shadow asked the guard, ”Was there a lawyer in the ship?”

The guard found it a wierd question as that should be obvious but still replied, ”Yeah, he was on the deck. He was the one caught and who helped Miss enter the board. Why?”

Shadow gave the lawyer one more look and asked again as he put the gun away, ”Are you sure the lawyer on the ship wasn't Wuxing who just wore the lawyer's suit? Because I just found the naked lawyer in the closet.”

”What…?” Hearing the news, the guard frowned, a questioning looking filling his face. After recalling the lawyer entering and leaving the apartment earlier, he called out with confidence, ”It's impossible! I saw him leaving the apartment. His face was identical to that of a lawyer. There is no way that could be true.”

Instead of trying to convince him, Shadow rolled the lawyer over with his leg so that he could click the photo of his face and sent it to the guard. They had to understand what was going on so the guard had to see it on his own.

”Impossible…” Both guards saw the photo and their response was the same but the tone of their voice was different. There were no longer sure what is going on.

Knowing they couldn't help him, Shadow pulled out the gag from the lawyer's mouth and asked coldly instead, ”Where is Wuxing?”

Seeing that everything was happening just like Wuxing told him, the lawyer thought in amazement, 'Is he a god…? He predicted everything…' Earlier during their deal settling, Wuxing predicted three scenarios that could happen and everything that happened with Dongmei and the guy in front of him was exactly prediction number three.

The lawyer didn't want to believe in it but now it was hard for him to reject the reality. Looking at the situation up till this point, the lawyer could only follow Wuxing's instructions, knowing he couldn't anger such individual.

Pretending to be scared, he glanced at the pistol and called out, ”Please, don't kill me! I will tell you everything! It was all that Mr Li and Miss Guan plan! I was just carrying out their orders…”

Hearing that Miss Guan was tangled in the affair as well, Shadow frowned even deeper and asked for further information, ”What plan? What did Miss tell you to do?” If their Miss was connected with it, they couldn't act too rashly, so Shadow was more careful now.

Still glancing at the gun with fear, the lawyer told everything without missing a detail, ”Miss Guan ordered an expensive mask that looked exactly like my face to help Mr Li escape. He took away my suit and everything before leaving after wearing my mask. Even I was shocked by how similar he looked. I swear! Miss Guan said she will contact me again after the job is done to pay me the other half. They already paid half a million to my account in United Nations currency.”

”Did you hear it? We were all played by Miss and Wuxing.” Shadow asked the guard, stating the fact. Personally, he knew who was behind all of this and was just using their Miss as a tool to arrange everything for him. He already noticed how scheming Wuxing could be and the current situation could confirm it.

Contrary to the appearances, if not for the possibility of Dongmei being in danger due to the gun, he would be okay with this turn of events. Now he could blame everything on Wuxing and redirect all anger from Guan Dong onto Wuxing.

At the start, Shadow did not even think about informing Guan Dong about this, planning to resolve it all without his inference but now it was even better if he did.

”Damn… To think we believed in Miss tears… We need to quickly catch up with the ship. We need your assistance to get the boat from the Chief Warden as he won't give us anything if we ask.” The guard cursed as he recalled their Miss tears which looked too real to be faked.

The second guard also added his five cents and recommended, ”I think we will need Boss' assistance on that. Chief Warden only listens to Miss Guan. If we don't inform him, we will be doomed even if Miss is safe.”

Shadow only smiled and left to the kitchen, ignoring the lawyer and said as if he was doing them a favour, ”Fine, I will be the one to call him.”

Cancelling the call, Shadow chose Guan Dong number and dialled him while going outside the broken door. Unfortunately, what he heard was, ”The customer you are trying to reach is currently on a call, please wait or try again later.”
