Chapter 315: Stolen-I
Chapter 315: Stolen-I
Xiao Yun didn't know whether it was right to ask Mrs. Sophia as it seemed with the work she had done, she want to keep the secret hidden. But they needed to know and for that they have to meet them.
"Other than that, what is this book about?" Wang Li Lei brought her attention back to the dull brown book on the desk.
"I received it from Mr. Liu he said it will help me more to utilize the gem's power." and when he heard this, Xiao Yun clearly show a look on Wang Li Lei's face who read the book title and laughed.
"I know what you are thinking of. It's weird isn't it the title I mean." and he nodded.
"Did you find anything from the book?" he took the book to his hand simultaneously and opened the first pages when she replied at the same time,
"As you see, nothing. I thought he was joking." and it seemed true as Wang Li Lei also couldn't read the book.
"Did he says anything else?" and Xiao Yun shook her head, she did find nothing other than how to create a perfect rabbit and bear doll.
"That's odd, Yan Hui always tease people but I never seen him lie."
"Then maybe it's because we can't understand his message?"
"Maybe." come his reply when his eyes tried to solve the puzzle but he couldn't find anything. Then he suddenly change their conversation seamlessly, "Do you remember about the matter I told you regarding Wushin Group and the deaths that kept happening around the groups?"
Xiao Yun nodded, "I know. I heard about Mr. Zuan's death, have you find the killer?"
"Unfortunately not but we do find some leads. We found the murder weapon used by the killer," replied Wang Li Lei then his eyes turned soulless when he said, "Also I find the truth of Zuan Chijang's death."
"What truth?" seeing his breaking gaze it was enough for her to know that the truth wasn't good.
"He betrayed me. There was a burnt evidence that he had been exchanging message with the person who is behind the killings." Xiao Yun's eyes widened.
"So your suspicions about that someone is aiming to kill you is true?" her heart felt cold at the thought that there was someone who would want Wang Li Lei's life and for him to be betrayed again. She can't say she knew exactly what he had went through but he knew it wasn't something easy for anyone to ever go through betrayals.
"Yes," he deadpanned and she noticed how fast he had grown over Zuan Chijing's betrayal. She squeezed his hand, holding it tightly. Although frankly Wang Li Lei didn't feel anything after the betrayal, he felt warm for her gesture of encouragement.
"Do you think they killed him because he had turned to be useless?"
"I don't think so. Although Zuan Chijiang died in the same fashion as the other victims that have come up, I find that their killing methods are different. If the real one are from fighting the one who killed Zuan Chijing seemed to be feigning his killing methods trying to copy the true killer's method and point it toward him."
"Is there a possibility this person is on your side?" it was better if they had more people on her side and it was why she had asked the question with littlest hope.
"No." Wang Li Lei said detached, his gaze holding no emotion.
"True I don't think this person is." she whispered under her breaths. Right now they couldn't trust anyone except their closest people like Jang Hyun, Tian Yi, and Hi Gu Yan. Even if the person had done something to help them by cutting off the rotten li,b who was Zuan Chijiang, they didn't want to take chance. "But fortunately we have found the murder weapon which would help us to find which group is about to betray you."
"That's right."
"Do you receive any new reports from Tian Yi?"
"I didn't. He supposed to contact as around today maybe the report would take times." and she nodded when he stood up. "You should take a rest now,"
Xiao Yun followed his suit standing up to take his hand when suddenly a hasty knock come from the other side of the door. Xiao Yun turn her face to the right where he also did the same.
"What is it?" asked Wang Li Lei guessing that it was Jang Hyun who knocked and he was right. Jang Hyun came into the room in a hurry, his eyes showed both shock and surprise when he said,
"It's missing master!" a sheen of sweat covered his forehead.
"What is missing?" He pressed his word for the secretary to retort,
"The murder weapon!!"
Xiao Yun snapped her eyes wide, "The murder weapon is missing?" she muttered to see Wang Li Lei's face grew cold. She had just heard of the murder weapon a moment ago and now it was missing?!
"How?" it was Wang Li Lei who queried the surprised stricken secretary.
"As per your order I have given the murder weapon when the police came to fetch it but a put an hour ago, the patrol car that brought the murder weapon was crashed by a truck. The rest of the polices came to the scene and find that the murder weapon have disappeared." his voice died out as he reached the end of his words.
"It is safe to say that the crash happened so they could steal the murder weapon." said Wang Li Lei and Xiao Yun looked down to see his hand was kneaded to a firm fist which she opened her hand to wrapped his palm.
She didn't have to ask Wang Li Lei how he felt now as she knew he must be feeling very vexed with how the only lead they had was stolen in a count of hour and no one had to question who had done the deal. It was none other than one out of the three other groups whose aim was to overthrow Wang Li Lei.
"What should we do, master?" asked Jang Hyun.
"Send anyone who is available to the scene, I will be going there too." he said, rubbing her head.
"Should I come with you?"
Shaking his head, he then added, "That's not necessary now that it is lost there will not be much thing for you to see." other than dead bodies, he added in his mind. "I will leave for a moment, take care." and as much as she want to go to the scene she doubted she would be able to help him and gave a nod.
