Chapter 405: Setting Up Defence in the Aftermath
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After Shi Man left the police station, she contacted Yi Zheng first and told him the information the chauffeur had revealed to see if he had any qualified suspects.
Yi Zheng frowned and thought for a long time. There were indeed a few people who were suspicious, but these people basically had no reason to take the risk to do this. In short, they lacked a motive to offend the Yi family.
Therefore, he couldn’t think of anyone who fit this criteria.
Shi Man gripped her cell phone tightly and thought about it for a while, but she could not think of a suitable candidate.
The clues were cut off at this point.
The other party had done it so secretively that they could not investigate.
However, they were certain that this person would not stop because Yi Che had stupidly exposed himself too early. That person’s plan had probably failed.
“I’m sure he’ll persist.”
Yi Zheng could not deduce anything else with the current information, but the only thing he was sure of was that the other party would not give up just like that.
He rubbed his eyebrows tiredly and lowered his voice worriedly. “I’m in the hospital. There are also bodyguards guarding the ward. It’s still considered safe, but you’re not. You have to be careful alone. I’m worried that they will attack you because they weren’t able to deal with me.”
“I know.”
Now that everyone knew that the Shi family and the Yi family were close, someone would definitely realize that the relationship between the two of them was extraordinary. Yi Zheng’s defense was tight, and the people in the dark would easily shift their target to her.
However, what Shi Man was least afraid of was others coming to her door. She was confident that as long as the other party could not hold back and showed up first, she would immediately capture him.
After the two of them discussed the subsequent plan, they hung up. Shi Man came to Immaculate’s current base alone to meet Sean.
In the base office, the television was playing the latest television drama featuring Shi He and Lin Yue.
The lights in the room were not switched on, and only the flickering light illuminated the entire room. However, Lin Si, who was sitting on the sofa, did not pay much attention to the television drama itself. Instead, he stared at the phone in his hand with a dark expression.
Just as he was looking at the screen in a daze, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Light suddenly shone into the room. Lin Si hurriedly turned off the screen, and a clear photo of the accident completely faded out of sight.
When Shi Man entered, she did not expect there to be someone inside. She casually glanced at the scene on the television and pressed the switch on the wall.
Turning on the office chandelier, she hugged her shoulders and leaned against the door frame. She smiled and said, “You’re quite lazy. You even came to my territory to watch television?”
Lin Si stood up in embarrassment and scratched her head helplessly. She smiled brightly and said, “Boss, 1 just wanted to see your heroic bearing at the event location of the explosion.”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Shi Man waved him to sit down and pouted in the direction of the television. “You like to watch this? How’s my brother’s acting?”
“Third Young Master acted very well,” Lin Si praised from the bottom of his heart. He didn’t forget to give him a thumbs up. “However, if the female lead were to be acted by Boss herself, with Boss’s looks, this drama would definitely be even more popular. At that time, Brother Sean and I would be your number one fans.”
“Really? I thought you would like Lin Yue very much,” Shi Man teased casually.
The last time Shi Man spoke to Sean, she heard Sean’s complaints on the phone.
She had never thought that as a mercenary who licked blood, he would pay attention to these fictional television dramas like ordinary people.
Their own lives were clearly as fictional as those of the characters in the television dramas.
She didn’t mean anything else by asking this. She just found his stunned expression funny and teased him casually.
Lin Si was suddenly stunned. When Shi Man looked over in surprise, hr suddenly returned to normal. He pursed his lips awkwardly and smiled. “She’s quite beautiful.”
Shi Man’s gaze became more and more interested.
Lin Si hurriedly waved his hand to prove his innocence. “But she’s far inferior to Boss! Moreover, Boss is the prototype of the female protagonist this time. Boss is even more powerful.”
“Don’t be long-winded. How’s the investigation today?” Shi Man stared at him sternly.
Lin Si coughed dryly and scratched his head. “Boss, Brother Sean is in charge of this. I’ll call him over.”
“No need. Just ask him to contact me later. I came this time to tell you about the upcoming patrol arrangements. Since he’s still busy, help me tell him.”
Shi Man was most worried about the armory in the base. She did not want another serious explosion in G City, so she needed Sean and the others to cooperate. If necessary, they could transfer the firearms and hide them in a tighter location.
After explaining the things to take note of, Shi Man left the base.
There was still a lot of work to do in the city reconstruction. On the way here just now, she saw countless construction event locations surrounded by people by the roadside. She felt a pair of large hands around her neck tightening..
