Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

550  Eyewitness

Ren Country. In the lavishly furnished room, Song Yu Han's demeanor exudes authority and confidence, a force that command respect from the men inside the room. With his leg crossed over the other, Song Yu Han's dark eyes — devoid of any fluctuation and warmth he only showed to his wife and son, swept over the men. Song Yu Han, who had just arrived in Ren country, listened to his subordinate report their findings. "We looked for the woman as you ordered. But..." Song Yu Han raised his eyes to glance at the man. "But?" "Even after we scoured the entire country and looked for her, there's not a trace of her in or going out of the country. It was as if... as if she just disappeared." The man recalled how lost they were when they finally got to the end of their search. Due to their boss placing extreme importance on this matter, they also did not go easy and used every means to find the woman named Alina. Unfortunately, they still yield no answers to the woman's exact location. But their search was not without fruit. Rather, they found something intriguing. The man hesitated for a bit before he finally said, "Although we still don't know where she is right now. We found some things that may help us find her." Song Yu Han received the tablet and looked down on it. On the tablet were several photographs of a luxurious villa in the middle of nowhere. The words 'Don Alejandro's villa' written on the photograph. He swiped to the next photo. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But this time, the villa was no longer a view that could behold anyone who had seen it. Instead, one might be gripped with fear and uncertainty as the photos revealed the destruction and remnants of Don Alejandro's villa after an explosion hit it. The man continued to report what they had found to Song Yu Han. "When our men got there, there's only these things left there. Bodies and bloodstains were everywhere. After a close investigation, it seems the explosion happened approximately five days ago." The photos showed numerous mutilated bodies, torn apart and surrounded by crows feasting on their decomposing remains. Such gruesome scenes could easily induce a person to keel over and empty their stomach on the spot.

But no one inside the room felt uncomfortable because every one of them was already used to this kind of hideous and repelling sights.

Song Yu Han listened to his subordinate without interrupting and swiped his slender finger across the screen again. He moved to the next picture. He kept switching from the previous pictures to the one he had just stumbled upon. And couldn't help but feel like the differences between them were huge. Unlike the previous photos, where the corpses were obviously victims of an explosion, the pictures that he was looking at right now did not bore any signs of being involved in an explosion. Rather, they were full of holes caused by guns being shot at them. "Where did you find their bodies?" Song Yu Han voiced out his question. The man, guessing what his boss was pertaining to, readily gave an answer. "It's near the gates. We already verified their identities. They're all Miss Alina's men." He paused when he saw his boss's gaze darkening. Andrew was the fifth member of the White Snake Troupe, a notorious group known for their mercilessness and code of ethics as a group of extremely deadly assassins. But at this moment, Andrew felt afraid towards the man before him, Song Yu Han, the man who tamed and take in the entire ten member group, White Snake Troupe, under his wings. "And did you really not find her?" Song Yu Han asked, but his thoughts recalled the look on his wife. The worry, fear, and sadness of his wife made him uneasy. He knew if Alina died, his wife would will never forgive herself. Andrew said, "No, we couldn't find her. Alina seemed to disappear out of nowhere. There was no sign, no trail—nothing, not even a single strand of her hair, was discovered from where she was last seen. I planned to have my men look around outside the country. However, Zagan suggested I do a deep search underground." He paused for a brief second before he continued. "Finally, we had some leads."

Four days of their search was spent in looking around the entirety of Ren country. Aside from the traces that were left behind by Miss Alina before she left for Don Alejandro's villa, they really found nothing. But, after taking what Zagan, another member of White Snake Troupe, told him to do. Andrew took his men to the underworld, where anything could be unearthed or atleast heard about.

As expected, on the fifth day, Andrew finally got a result of his search. In one of the clubs that was ruled by another underworld gang, two men drunkly mentioned that their friend bought an expensive car after completing a gig that pays off handsomely five days ago. Andrew was skeptical if the gig they were talking about was the same as what had happened with Don Alejandro's villa, but he didn't want to let go of of their only possible 'eyewitness'.

But approaching the only clue they have will only beat the bush and scare away the snake so, Andrew did not question the two drunk men, only following them in secret until he found the 'friend' who bought a car. Song Yu Han tossed the tablet to the couch next to him and stood up. "Take me to the man. I'd like to talk to him," said Song Yu Han in a frosty tone.

In an instant, as if pulled by a string, the men that were standing silently within the room straightened their backs and followed behind him.

Andrew gestured for one man to lead them in to a separate room, where the friend of the two drunk men was being held.
