Next One Is a Babe

As both men headed toward the elevator, John asked, “Is everything ready?”

Zack nodded in response. “Ready when you are, boss.”

At that moment, they ran into William, who happened to come out of his office. When he saw both of them in decent attire, he couldn’t help but feel a little surprised. There is no fieldwork today, plus John has a meeting to attend later, so where exactly are they going? Just as William was about to step forward and find out, the elevator door opened, whereupon John and Zack walked inside.

While William didn’t manage to get to John in time, he soon felt a vibration from his phone a few seconds later before realizing it was a message from his son. ‘I have some important business to take care of, so I’m going to take a leave today. Anyway, the documents you need are ready on the table in my office.’

For the next few moments, William only stood in the corridor, quietly staring at the elevator until he snapped out of his trance and made his way to John’s office. I don’t remember seeing John coming back yesterday, and it looks like he is going to be missing again for the whole day. With his brows furrowed, William pondered in John’s office for a while, trying to figure out what was going on. John has never acted so strangely.

In the meantime, John sat in the car right beside Zack, who then made a call. Due to the loud audio volume, John could clearly hear what the voice from the receiving end was saying. “Husky has come around, and he seems to be of sound mind. At the same time, Roselia has also given her statement to the police. So, what are we going to do about that?”

Before Zack could say anything, John chuckled and replied, “What kind of question is that? Just deal with it like you normally would.”

Zack understood what John meant by that, so he said, “The people in the hospital have already lodged a police report for Husky. As for Miss Stone, I suppose we should let the police know about her as well.”

In fact, it was obvious that whoever hurt Husky wanted him dead. For that, the hospital’s management had decided to involve the police even without John saying anything. While Husky didn’t seem to be in a fit condition to give a statement the day before, John believed that the police would soon visit him once more. Since Husky is going to get exposed, there is no need for us to hide Roselia anymore. We might as well let the police deal with her too.

Meanwhile, the person responded with an affirmative reply upon hearing Zack’s words and hung up the call. Then, John leaned back on his seat and pinched his forehead. “What’s the status with the shadow bank now?”

Zack quickly replied, “A little bird told me that Old Mr. Bailey went there again earlier today. I believe it’s about the business that Elder Mr. Bailey wants to pass down to him in the past two days. Thus, he is trying to get to know the people there more.”

“That’s good news,” John smiled and said.

After a brief pause, something seemingly crossed Zack’s mind. “You weren’t home last night. I bet Sophia is worried sick about you.”
