348 Being Taken Advantage Of (2/2)
Using the bug that he found on Luo Mingxin, the bodyguard very easily traced the signal to Han Chu and Ye Shuang, who wanted to stay a distance away and observe. ”It's two Chinese again, one male and a female. Hmm, the female is very pretty.”
Han Chu turned to Ye Shuang expressionlessly, ”How did we get exposed?”
Ye Shuang shrugged. ”How would I know? We've already parked the car so far away… Shall we get out?”
The bodyguard's call had already attracted the attention of the people inside the villa. If they left now, it was impossible to not initiate a chase and an investigation on them. Therefore, they had no option but to get out of the car.
Following the protocol, it was another body search. Even Han Chu's laptop was opened to be given a thorough check, but due to Anthony's defense software, nothing incriminating was found.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please clickfor visiting.
As a female, Ye Shuang was given some preferential treatment. A female bodyguard came out from the villa to give her an isolated search, but similarly, nothing was found.
The initial plan of observing from afar had to change to direct and close observation. After the body search was done, Han Chu and Ye Shuang were also led into the villa by the troop of bodyguards.
Both Madam Grace and Luther were in the living room. Cedrick and 'Brother Shuang' were also seated on Madam Grace's side of the sofa. From the atmosphere, it felt like a negotiation was underway. However, due to the snacks and coffees that were served, the atmosphere was not as tense as they had anticipated. If not for it being the wrong time of day, this could very well have been interpreted as an afternoon tea between friends.
”Grace, are these also your guest?” Luther sat opposite from Madam Grace and glanced at the duo who had just entered. ”I have to say, your taste has worsened over the years. Do you only depend on the face as the standard when you hire your underlings?”
Compared to the few bodyguards who were large enough to be called minotaurs standing behind Luther, Han Chu and Ye Shuang's appearance did look rather underwhelming. Even including the earlier two guests, at most, only the name of 'gentleman' was about to make Luther raise his eyebrows. Luther was equally condescending toward 'Brother Shuang', who was not packed with bulging muscles.
Madam Grace shook her head, and she leaned back on the sofa to lower the pressure around her wound. ”No, I don't know these two.”
Cedrick coughed. ”Sorry, they're my friends. They probably came because of me.”
Madam Grace looked at Cedrick and changed her words naturally. ”Yes, these two are my people as well.”
Luther turned to Cedrick in surprise. ”Well, isn't this shocking? Of the two here…”
His eyes moved to 'Brother Shuang', and Luther revealed a smile dripping in sarcasm. ”I would have thought that the other gentleman would be more to your taste.”
Cedrick's expression instantly turned conflicted, but Madam Grace scoffed lightly. ”That has nothing to do with you. Luther, did you ask to meet me simply because you want to discuss my fifth husband with me?”
Luther was about to say something when Cedrick noticed the words used earlier. ”Wait, who is this fifth husband?”
