Next One Is a Babe

But John thought that after what happened last night, those people inside should have run away as well.

Sophia nodded. "Okay, I get it." She didn't want to say any more, as her saying too much would cause John to feel burdened.

The two sat on the bed and chatted for a while. Later, John got up to shower and went downstairs to eat. Sophia hadn't slept the whole night, so her head hurt a bit, and she didn’t have an appetite. Hence, she told John to go down and tell the maid that she would only eat her breakfast later after a nap.

John knew that Sophia must have felt insecure for the entire night, so he didn't force her either. As he stroked Sophia's hair, he said, "You take a good rest. Don't worry about me, as the matter should be over soon."

Can we please end it soon? Sophia really hated such a situation like this one.

Not long after she lay back in bed, Logan called. Compared to John's seriousness, Logan seemed to be a lot more relaxed. He told Sophia about the current situation of the shadow bank. Apparently, the shadow bank was closed down for investigation, and many account books were found inside. Most of them contained the details of what they had loaned out. The rest were their internal stolen accounts.

Narrowing her eyes, Sophia asked Logan, "So is that shadow bank completely destroyed now?"

Logan laughed aloud. "Almost. I heard Lola say that the evidence is quite sufficient, and many people involved in it have been arrested."

He heard Lola say it? Sophia picked up on that important point all at once. She asked, "So the relationship between you and Lola has improved again, hasn’t it?"

Logan made a hissing noise. "That is beside the point. Anyway, that woman and I have formed an alliance. You know that. This time, the matter is so important that surely we both have to abandon our previous grudges. But I still look down on her."

"She still looks down on you too," Sophia replied.

Logan was at a loss for words for a long time. After pondering for a moment, Sophia continued to ask, "So, what's next at the shadow bank?"

Seeing that she had changed the subject, Logan continued with what he intended to tell her. "Just the existence of one contraband will cause the shadow bank to be closed down for investigation. Now that some incriminating accounts have been found, the people involved would definitely be arrested. I heard Lola say that there are quite a lot of people who are involved."

After a brief pause, he went on to say, "We caught some people before. Their lips were sealed, and they had obviously communicated in advance, for they all sang the same tune. It’s not easy to break through their defense, but these people who have just been caught are clearly unprepared, so there could be a weak spot somewhere. We’re going to see if we can manage to expose the Bailey Family."
