Chapter 664: Taking the Risk
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Elder Hu muttered softly, “How is this possible? Who sent the letter? No third person knows about my deal with Duo Feng. Why would someone send such a letter?”
At this moment, thousands of thoughts began to surge in his mind.
In these few minutes, he had already imagined countless possible scenarios. But without exception, he denied them one by one.
After the agitation, Elder Hu quickly calmed himself down. This was because he knew that in the current situation, it was useless no matter how anxious he was. The only way was to treat it calmly.
Since he was still safe and sound, it was enough to show that Ye Ying didn’t know what he had done. Otherwise, with Ye Ying’s personality, he wouldn’t be standing here alive. However, it was very clear that the person who sent the letter was in this villa.
A bolder guess was that it was one of the other six people at the dinner table tonight.
Elder Hu guessed that the reason why the other party gave such a warning was either because they wanted to give him a chance on account of their friendship in the past years, or because they did not have sufficient evidence to indirectly intimidate him.
However, in his current situation, he was no longer in the mood to care which situation it was. What he needed to solve was how to continue living. He was still in Ye Ying’s territory.
To put it bluntly, his life was completely in Ye Ying’s hands. As long as Ye Ying wanted him to die, he would never see the sun the next day.
For this reason, Elder Hu even specially found the articles that the five of them had written together in the past. He read them over and over again, hoping to find some clues that could prove the other party’s identity from the handwriting.
Unfortunately, no one’s words matched. This time, he was really in a passive position.
At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind. He had to find out who the person who had sent the letter was as soon as possible tomorrow morning.
If he really couldn’t find it, he could only take the risk.
Previously, when he was working with Duo Feng, the other party had left him a private contact number. When he was about to be exposed, he could contact him through this method.
Although he was very unwilling to encounter such a situation, he had no other choice in the current situation. But what was different this time was that the person standing in front of the surveillance cameras was no longer the original security officer, but Ye Ying.
He silently watched Elder Hu’s every move in the room and gradually smiled proudly. This night was a sleepless night for Elder Hu. He tossed and turned in bed. Under the torture of countless times in his heart, he finally welcomed the dawn of the next day.
By the time he pushed open the door again, breakfast was ready.
There were only him and the butler in the empty hall. Clearly, the others were not awake yet.
“Hello, Elder Hu. 1 didn’t expect you to wake up so early.” The butler was not reserved at all and greeted him warmly. “The other elders haven’t come out yet. If you need anything, you can tell me. Young Master has instructed us to satisfy everyone’s needs as much as possible.”
“I don’t really need anything, but…” There was a slight pause in Elder Hu’s words. After some thought, he asked the question in his heart, “Butler, did you hear any strange sounds in the living room last night? For example, the sound of the door opening or walking.”
“I’m really sorry. This floor is a VIP room specially arranged by Boss Ye. It’s prepared for you elders.” As the butler busied himself with his work, he replied, “We servants don’t stay here at night, so even if anything happens, we won’t know.”
Elder Hu did not say anything after hearing this. He only nodded slightly. This meant that only the other four elders and Ye Ying had the chance to do such a thing last night. However, he could not guess who it was..
