Chapter 489: Chapter 490 Cancel!

Assistant has stopped speaking, and hands over the rest of the files, "I’ve just been in touch with the airport, and we can delay our departure by two hours—it’s not too late to head there now."

Moses strides over to the window, "Cancel the flight."

"But your health..." Paul glances at Jessica and swallows the words that reach his lips, quickly finding an alternative reason, "You also have a very important meeting."

"Cancel it," Moses says.

"Sir!" Paul’s tone becomes increasingly urgent, "This matter really can’t be postponed any longer!"

"I said..." Moses turns around, his dark eyes narrowing as they meet Paul’s, "Cancel!"

Paul opens his mouth, but is forced to suppress any further attempts at persuasion.

"Yes, sir!"

Jessica’s pale blue eyes shift back and forth between the two men, "Why do I feel like you’re keeping secrets from me?"

"Shut up!" Moses interrupts her coldly, "Where’s the child?"

"Half an hour ago, they moved her to the Royal Hospital for treatment," says Jessica.

Moses’s gaze sweeps over the screen to Huangfu Jue, a flash of anger in his eyes, "Who’s at the hospital?"

"The King and Queen are both there, and it’s not just them," Jessica says, her lips curving into a sly smile, "Reliable sources say the hospital is now secured by the Imperial Palace’s security, tight as a drum. Speaking of which, if you really want Miss Gaia to come back with you, I might have a good suggestion."

Moses glances sideways.

"Just give the nod, and I’ll head over to the hospital right away to smuggle the little guy out. A son is the best hostage a mother can have. Control Gan Tang, and Gaia will follow your every command. I’ve heard the Queen is quite the fighter—I’d actually like to see if I’m a match for her..." Jessica catches Paul glaring at her, warningly, and after a quick glance at Moses’s brooding face, she hurries to put on a placating smile, "I...I’m just joking."

Moses raises his hand, tossing something to Jessica. She catches it, and in her palm lies a bullet cartridge.

"This was found on the rooftop of my building, and it’s one of our company’s bullets. Go check the background of that assassin."

Each bullet has a corresponding production number, just like other product labels. With this cartridge, they could trace its sales history and, subsequently, identify the buyer.

"I’ll get on it right now!"

Jessica, not daring to delay, clutches the cartridge and exits the room.

"How’s your health?" Paul finally dares to ask once Jessica has left.

Moses shakes his head slightly, "I’m fine."

"Or maybe..." Paul inhales deeply, summoning the courage to suggest, "we could ask Dr. William over?"

Seeing the displeasure in Moses’s narrowed eyes, he quickly adds, "Dr. William mentioned before that he’s on good terms with some experts in cardiology at the Royal Hospital. You could perhaps get checked out there and, by the way... visit Xiaotang?"

Moses turns his gaze toward the window.

"I’m not going," he states.

Paul lets out a silent sigh.

Moses’s eyes narrow.

This time, their target clearly wasn’t Huangfu Jue, so was it Gan Tang they were after? Could a child influence someone’s interests, or was Gan Yuan their actual target, and they hit Gan Tang by mistake...

With this thought, Moses suddenly turns back around.

"Check Annie and Princess Betty... everyone who has had a grudge against Gaia, go through the list. I must know who’s targeting her!"

Paul immediately agrees and starts to mobilize his network to investigate.

Good morning, I’ll stop here, we’ll continue in the afternoon.
