Chapter 510: Chapter 511 She Never Doubted
Helen’s facial expression was one of surprise and bewilderment, "So... you never considered that if they saw you lying..."
"Easterners say ’All is fair in war.’" Gan Yuan lifted her face to smile at her, "Firstly, they won’t really look. Secondly, even if they really look, it doesn’t matter, if it’s not in the documents, I can have the Duke immediately handwrite a fax to me."
Helen shrugged her shoulders without saying a word—she had no doubts about this.
From an Air Force paratrooper general to being relegated to a minor assistant in this place, Helen harbored a lot of discontent in her heart. In her view, this was entirely the Duke making a mountain out of a molehill.
However, for a soldier, obeying orders is a sacred duty. Although she was resentful, she could only accept it, but in her heart, she did not approve of Gan Yuan.
Yet, from the moment she met her until now, Helen suddenly discovered that this woman was not as uninteresting as she had imagined.
"I know this kind of work might be somewhat boring for you." Gan Yuan reached out to take a document and handed it to her, "When the time is right, I’ll ask the Duke to transfer you to a position you were brought in for. Please, make three copies. Also, notify the catering department, health department, housekeeping department... all department managers, to meet on the top floor in one hour."
Helen took the documents, turned, and walked to the door, then stopped.
"You... know who I am?"
Gan Yuan looked up from the documents, shaking her head lightly.
"The Duke never mentioned it, but based on my judgment... no less than five years of military experience, you’ve likely been to the frontline..." Her gaze swept over Helen’s left leg, "Your left leg has been injured, and the last point... you do not like me."
"Your observation skills are very sharp." Helen’s eyebrows quirked up slightly, "But that last sentence is not quite accurate, I’m beginning to like you a bit now."
Gan Yuan smiled, "I’m flattered."
Helen also smiled, turned, and, holding the documents, walked out of the office.

Hotel room.
Jessica placed a stack of researched documents in front of Moses, "Mike... 31 years old, previously served in the Marine Corps, began freelancing as a mercenary after retirement, no particular source for weapons, however, I found one of his overseas accounts, recently there was a deposit of five million."
"Source of funds?" Moses asked.
"Encrypted bank transfer from Swiss Bank." Jessica spread her hands, "The account holder is Nancy Locke."
Assistant Paul came over, placed a mug of hot tea on Moses’s desk, and upon hearing this name, he frowned in confusion.
"Isn’t she already dead?"
Jessica curled her lip, "The transfer was made before she died."
Paul frowned, "But why... so long after?"
Nancy’s feud with Gan Yuan was common knowledge, and given her personality, such an act was not surprising.
However, if it was indeed Nancy who did it, the assassination attempt should have taken place before her death, not after—it seemed too long a delay.
"That’s not strange either." Jessica did not feel there was anything odd, "Murder always requires an opportunity, doesn’t it?"
Paul pondered briefly then turned his gaze to Moses, who was browsing through the materials Jessica had investigated, his face betraying little emotion.
"Additionally..." Jessica paused thoughtfully, "Another incident occurred recently at Duke Locke Residence, the butler attempted to act indecently towards the young Miss of the Locke family and ended up falling down the stairs to his death."
