Chapter 967
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 ofthem in decent attire, he couldn’t help but feel a little surprised. There is no fieldwork today, plus Johnhas a meeting to attend later, so where exactly are they going? Just as William was about to stepforward 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 fewseconds later before realizing it was a message from his son. ‘I have some important business to takecare of, so I’m going to take a leave today. Anyway, the documents you need are ready on the table inmy office.’
For the next few moments, William only stood in the corridor, quietly staring at the elevator until hesnapped out of his trance and made his way to John’s office. I don’t remember seeing John comingback yesterday, and it looks like he is going to be missing again for the whole day. With his browsfurrowed, William pondered in John’s office for a while, trying to figure out what was going on. John hasnever acted so strangely.
In the meantime, John sat in the car right beside Zack, who then made a call. Due to the loud audiovolume, John could clearly hear what the voice from the receiving end was saying. “Husky has comearound, and he seems to be of sound mind. At the same time, Roselia has also given her statement tothe 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 lodgeda police report for Husky. As for Miss Stone, I suppose we should let the police know about her aswell.”
In fact, it was obvious that whoever hurt Husky wanted him dead. For that, the hospital’s managementhad decided to involve the police even without John saying anything. While Husky didn’t seem to be ina fit condition to give a statement the day before, John believed that the police would soon visit himonce more. Since Husky is going to get exposed, there is no need for us to hide Roselia anymore. Wemight 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 thecall. Then, John leaned back on his seat and pinched his forehead. “What’s the status with the shadowbank now?”
Zack quickly replied, “A little bird told me that Old Mr. Bailey went there again earlier today. I believe it’sabout the business that Elder Mr. Bailey wants to pass down to him in the past two days. Thus, he istrying 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 betSophia is worried sick about you.”
“I know she is, but I also believe she knows what we must do,” John answered while blinking. novelbin
Sophia may not know the entire story, but she should have a rough picture of what’s going on. At thevery least, she should be able to piece the puzzles together after noticing John’s unusual behavior lastnight. Because Sophia was known to be a smart lady, Zack had never dared to underestimate her.Thus, he was convinced that Sophia must have figured out something. After brief contemplation, Zackasked, “What did Young Master Logan say?”
Upon hearing Logan’s name, John laughed in amusement and answered, “Well, he sent me the bank’sinterior layout last night, and I wonder how he got his hands on something like that.”
Zack nodded. “Young Master Logan’s clubhouse has everything you can imagine, so I’d say any intelfrom him is quite reliable.”
Meanwhile, Sophia only just woke up and realized that she was alone with Old Mrs. Constance in themain building.
