The Ex and Her Riches

Upon seeing someone faint, the man wearing a ghost mask finally removed it.

Under the moonlight, the man’s dark gaze was cold and unfathomable, filled with icy bloodlust as he looked at Charles.

Nico stepped forward and asked, “Boss, how should we handle this?”

“Tie up these two subordinates and throw them in the car. As for Charles…”

Maverick’s voice suddenly stopped, and he narrowed his eyes. His expression was fierce. “Hang him up and take him to the cabin that is ready. Gwendolyn will be here in about ten minutes. Before she arrives, let’s interrogate him first.”

“Understood.”

Charles was abruptly awakened by a splash of cold water.

When he woke up, he found his hands tied behind his back and suspended from a broken beam in the dilapidated house. His feet barely touched the ground, and he had to stand on his tiptoes to maintain his balance.

That position was extremely tiring, especially as the arms became unbearably sore. If he was being suspended for an hour, the arms could ache to the point of dislocation, and the armpits would bruise and become swollen.

He let out a soft chuckle.

That torturous method was clearly a tactic commonly used by the military.

“What are you laughing at?”

A deliberately lowered, deep male voice rang out from nearby.

Charles glanced over.

It was the man with the ghost mask he had seen before he fainted. The man was leisurely and elegantly leaning against a wooden pillar.

Charles’ deep blue eyes showed not the slightest hint of panic. His face was still carrying a smile.

“I’m not sure what I did to offend the Federal Bureau of Investigation. You’re setting me up to arrest me.”

The masked man approached him and said, “Recently, a labeled sample of S404 RNA Virus has gone missing from the lab. I checked the records, and you were in the lab half a month ago.”

Charles was indignant. “I’m not the only one who visited the lab, so why do you suspect that I took it?”
