353 Didnst You Say Yousll Protect Me Forever? 2 (1/2)
Luther had lost all of his leverage. Even though there were still bodyguards outside, they would be useless even if they rushed in. Thankfully, he knew that Madam Grace would not really kill him, so he complied obediently. He told the other bodyguards to retreat and got into the car as the hostage. Five of them had arrived in three cars, but six left in one car.
Sister Shuang quickly led Madam Grace to Han Chu's car. What about Celebrity Luo and Madam Grace's cars? They were each worth more than a small country, so losing a car was nothing.
”We're overloaded, aren't we?” Ye Shuang gained the position of the driver's seat with her unrivalled driving skill. After speeding onto the highway, she looked at the four who had squeezed into the back mirthfully. ”Be careful back there. Even though it's midnight, we might run into a roadblock.”
Madam Grace won the passenger seat because she was injured, so the handling of Luther naturally fell to the men. She was resting with her eyes closed. After all, she had been through a lot that night. Hearing the mocking from Sister Shuang, feeling curious about her superhuman fighting ability and interesting point of view, Madam Grace could not help open her eyes and turn to look. ”Young lady, you're very good at your job, and your talent shouldn't be wasted just like that… Why don't you come work for me?”
Ye Shuang rejected the offer with a smile. ”Thank you, Madam, but I'm sorry, my boss still hasn't given me my bonus, so if I change jobs now, I'll be missing on the money.”
”It's just money. I can offer you much more if you want.” Madam Grace did not think that money was a problem—a real talent was worth everything.
”Madam, I don't think so.” Ye Shuang's expression did not shift, and she continued to joke with a smile. ”Other than money, there's something else I need to get from my boss.”
”…” Han Chu.
”Oh, love?” Madam Grace accepted this reason. She nodded, closed her eyes, and ended this topic. Even though she looked down on love, it was undeniable many women valued a good relationship. If a woman had a man they loved, it was possible for them to make even the most illogical decision.
A perspective was hard to change—at the very least, it was not something that could be changed with a few words—so after hearing that she would not be able to convince Sister Shuang, she decided to stop her persuasion. That day, the most nervous person was Cedrick, the calmest was Han Chu, and the most surprised was Luo Mingxin.
Well, surprised was too light a word—his world was turned upside down. Even though he had no idea what had really happened that day, everything was still fresh in his mind. No matter how deep his yearning for an adventure, compared to Sister Shuang's performance, Luo Mingxin had to admit that he was lagging years behind.
Reaction time was one thing, and overall ability was another. After escaping the danger, thinking back to before, Luo Mingxin could not help but relive the experience. In the end, he had to admit that this was a world that did not suit him at all. If Sister Shuang or the others had not done anything, everyone's lives that night would have been left in the hands of an injured lady, Madam Grace. What was a single plastic gun going to do anyway?
Luo Mingxin suddenly felt scared for his life.
”Mr. Luther, I wish to ask about the theft. I hope you don't mind.” Han Chu already entered his work mode. He toyed with the pistol that Ye Shuang had handed him. ”You've seen the crime scene, and I believe you already have an initial impression. Just based on what you think, how much did the thief know about you and your group?”
Luther chuckled bitterly; he was not in a spot to reject answering. Furthermore, he believed that Han Chu was from the same side as Madam Grace, considering the fragile yet existent ally relationship between them. Even if he was still cautious, Luther ultimately did not think that they would bring the whole ship down with them.
Therefore, after giving it some thought, Luther cooperated by answering, ”I believe that the thief should know my villa very well. I trust that you won't doubt the importance of the stolen document. So, naturally, the place that stored the document was very well hidden. Other than myself and a few of my men, no one knew where it was.”
”It was my trusted men who discovered theft. Other than being hidden, the location was heavily guarded. Based on what I know, if the culprit hadn't infiltrated my system, there is only a handful of people in the world who would be able to get through the heavy defenses in minutes.”
At this point, Luther's eyes turned subconsciously toward Cedrick.
”What are you looking at me for?” Cedrick was first confused before it led to annoyance. ”I would not do something as immoral as that!”
As someone who valued honor among thieves, Cedrick argued indignantly. ”I would always leave an open announcement before I do any job, or do you still suspect me?”
Ye Shuang could not help but chuckle, and Cedrick changed his target. ”Now what is the meaning of this snicker?”
”Just a need to release the breath in my lungs,” Ye Shuang said matter-of-factly.
Han Chu stopped them from leading the topic further astray. ”Then, from your perspective, Mr. Luther, how big are the chances of your system being infiltrated?”
Then, Han Chu was kind enough to provide some hints. ”Can all of your men be trusted? Other than yourself, have you checked your men's close friends? On top of that, are you sure that they are all bright enough to ensure they wouldn't be led to expose your secret?”
His questions were so sharp that Luther, who wanted to deny it, initially could not help but ponder about it.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click visiting.
