39 Chapter 39 : More Clues (2/2)

”Ah yes… he might have people following you as well. Even my Secretary Dandan might have some secret guards following her as well. That clingy husband, what has gotten into him?” Xiulan complained and grabbed the cup with warm tea and she deliciously drank it to remove the stress away.

”Isn't normal for a husband to assign secret guards for their wife and anyone related to her?” Lau Zhu innocently said. She's actually confused why the missus was stressed that her husband was tailing her. Her boss acts like she was very bewildered by the fact that her husband cares for her.

Xiulan shook her head like she heard the most obnoxious thing. Her bodyguard will never understand her contempt. Her relationship with Hongqi is a scam and no other person other than her family knows about this ridiculous secret.

”Yes, you are right. It is normal for a married couple. I just felt really surprised he will do that for me.” Xiulan gave a meaningful smile. It was a smile that hides a painful fact between the couple.

Lau Zhu furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. It seems that she step on a sensitive topic. She suddenly suspects that the Xing couple was not really the couple goals like what the media portrays. If her haughty young master finds out about this, he might give everyone a salary increase or bonus.

The next days and weeks, Xiulan followed her doctor's instructions dutifully. She only held onto her laptop for two hours every day and she would sleep and eat the rest of the day.

During those two hours on her laptop, she would only check the CCTV footages from the two smart watches and let Lau Zhu do the rest since they are not on field.

Also she only had to do it for two hours since the footages were too mind-boggling and it stresses her so much. It was not helpful for her recovery and mental health.

On the captured CCTV on those places, there are a lot of stuff going on like some couples were caught having sex, children getting abused by their parents, women are sexually abused by random men and pets getting killed by a car or a bystander. More ugly stuff was getting filmed and it was very depressing for her. That's why she only had to monitor and check for the span of two hours every after lunch time.

Add to her dismay, they haven't captured any helpful footage to help them track the culprits.

Hongqi on the other hand seems to be seriously playing the caring husband role for a few days before he had to fly to Hong Kong for an overseas award concert and attend a two-day business meeting in Singapore.

Xiulan's very happy that Hongqi was away again. She usually had to finish all her investigation before he comes home and to make sure that she has instructed Zhu and let her leave the place before Hongqi arrives.

Xiulan noticed that Hongqi was very suspicious of Lau Zhu due to she hired her directly without telling him.

Hongqi is a very meticulous man and as a future director of a security company, he wants to take full control of the security of his family and friends. Since Xiulan contradicted his greatest pet peeve, he has become very suspicious of the poor Zhu.

”Missus!” Lau Zhu roared as she hastily and aggressively enters the living room. Xiulan was taking her afternoon break by watching a variety show on TV.

”Zhu, what's wrong?” Xiulan asked. She frowns at Zhu's disheveled appearance.

”I have important news. We now know who the TERRO spy inside the military!” Zhu informs and showed Xiulan a detailed report on her tablet.

Xiulan looks at the report but didn't understand it due to the written words was using strong military terms.

”I don't understand this. Can you further explain how it reached to this conclusion?” Xiulan asked.

”Missus, the spy in the military that's connected to TERRO had a stupid mishap and ordered a few pieces of MK 34 guns using the military's funds without the right clearance to officially buy it but managed to still get through. No one has suspected yet since the money involved was not that much and he has been doing this for over three months now. But one of my brothers works in the accounting team for the Department of Defense and saw that there was something wrong with these unofficial requests without the proper clearances.” Lau Zhu carefully explains.

”Wait… how did it reached to the conclusion that this person is connected to TERRO?” Xiulan pointed out. She only knows that this spy exists inside the military but she didn't get any information about this person. It's inevitable that there will be people who will take advantage and will be able to buy stuff using the government's funds but Xiulan doubted if this person was really working for TERRO.

”Three days ago, an observant old lady reported a shady transaction going on in their area but the police dismissed it due to they never caught the culprits together.” Zhu starts.

”And?” Xiulan was impatient.

”Also three days ago, this spy's face was captured one time near the area of that brown haired brat. We checked that he doesn't live there nor he has a relative or friend that lives there. He doesn't have any business or connection to be there. But why would a person who works for the military would leave a briefcase at night in an abandoned playground and the person taking the briefcase was the lonesome college kid who we know has a connection with the TERRO group?” Zhu spills and even wiggled her eyebrows to let her missus guess and connect the situation.

”How did you find out it was them with the briefcase stuff?” Xiulan probed again. This case is sensitive and they just can't irrationally believe everything.

”I asked the old lady to describe the people involved. She told me the same features this betrayer has and she calls the brown haired college brat the 'ungrateful child of the Chengs'. The old lady lives nearby the abandoned playground and she was very observant of unfamiliar visitors. The area lacks CCTVs that's why we weren't able to catch any footage.” Zhu explains further. She was really happy that she managed to get this information. She really wants to take revenge and beat that college brat as soon as possible.

”Okay… I get it now.” Xiulan nodded and knitted her eyebrows like she was thinking fervently.It already makes sense that person is connected to TERRO. But when are they going to move?

”Zhu, we must capture and interrogate that spy.” Xiulan commanded. That person is their key.

”Yes, missus! My brothers are actually following him already and when dawn arrives he will be captured.” Zhu brightly smiles to Xiulan. She has been working her ass off with this case. She was really mad last time that she failed miserably. So this time she better make everything work.

”That soon!?” Xiulan can't believe that Zhu's brothers were this fast and unconditionally helping her.

”Yes!” Zhu enthusiastically replied.

Seeing the smile on Zhu's face made Xiulan feel hope that this mission would end soon and she really hopes so.
