Chapter 586: To look at a dead body

What are the odds indeed!! She watched the way he voraciously explained with much enthusiasm, almost frothing at the mouth because of excitement. It was undeniable how much he wanted to claw his way into the mystery, open it layer by layer like an onion and dive inside. He had basically met a locked door and he had a quarter of a broken key which stopped him from pushing further but he was desperate to kick the door down forcefully and peek inside. But she knew what was behind the locked door he wanted to force open, there was nothing good, only death and secrecy was waiting.

"Pd Xiaobo_"

"CEO," he cut her off, raised his hands and put them together in a begging form. "Please, don’t shut us down again, this is the time to be bold, we have over one hundred seventeen missing women cases on our desk that can be tied to this. How many more are out there that we do not know about? Women should be warned about this kind of thing. This is the kind of story which makes prime time news, it’s a career maker. Think about the young ones on my team, they should be able to enjoy such a fairy piece of meat."

All he saw were roses, he smelled nothing but sweet scents and tasted only honey but what would happen when blood started spilling and all he smelled and tasted was nothing the salt from his own tears because of regret?

"What if it’s rotten meat?" She deadpanned.

Pd Xiaobo who was almost close to hyperventilating reigned himself in and put his hands down.

"CEO," he said with so much unwillingness in his voice. The aggrieved expression in his eyes was blatantly accusing her of something, unfairness perhaps, or maybe cowardice.

"Pd Xiaobo, have you thought about the rest of the investigative team if even your source was by chance murdered. It means someone somewhere does not want any eyes on this case. If they are willing to go as far as making a murder resemble a suicide that a qualified educated medical examiner also declared a suicide what does that say to you?"

"It’s not as simple as it looks." He mumbled.

"It’s not as simple as it looks." She said sternly. "You work in the office, but the members of the investigative team have to go out in the field. They have to face the unknown and chase after suspicious leads that could be leading them into a trap which is why I assigned them a permanent security team. This case is screaming danger right from the get go, if one of those kids dies because they came too close to something dangerous who will explain their death to the family? Will you take responsibility for that death? I know that you want to receive recognition for your work but it should not be at the expense of the lives of others. I will have another party look into the case first and then I will tell you how to proceed. I also think that it might be wise for your family to move somewhere else for now, I have a secure building in the cold town you can move to. You should be more worried about how someone like that man found your address. They could have dropped off this envelope here at your workplace but they brought it directly to your house. If someone was tailing him then they know what you have, who you are, your wife and your children. Even your parents might be in danger, we know nothing for certain right now which puts us at a dangerous disadvantage. Go home and move out temporarily right now_" she ordered sternly.

"CEO," he said in a surprised voice, thinking about all the things he had missed in his race to bite into the story.

"Now." She banged her fist against the table and glared at him.

Pd Xiaobo was the kind of man that would rather choke on that rotten meat than give it up, he was like a dog with a bone when he picked up a scent on something. If she did not scare him, for his own good, he would not give up easily.

She gazed at him, with her mouth thinned in a look of anger, and Pd Xiaobo wiped some small beads of sweat from his forehead before standing up to go and do as ordered. The safety of his family was more important than anything else, but why did it have to be all the way in the cold town? Couldn’t he just move somewhere else right here in the central district of the capital itself.

"Remember, the cold town Pd, I will send a message to the manager of the building to expect you. Think about your children first, hmm." She reminded him with a small but cold smile on her face.

If she wanted to show him that she meant business, she had to maintain this kind of attitude.

"Yes CEO, but_"

"Or," she cut him off and said thoughtfully, "I could just just transfer you overseas, perhaps the country side too, after all we do have many active variety programs running year long_"

"I will move right now CEO, why would I not move?" The cold town is just an hour away with the new bridge. I will be seeing you around CEO." He quickly made his escape, eager to escape the threat of being transferred.

Immediately after he left, T4 told Chi Lian, "I don’t know if this is helpful but the middle aged man, I could have a way to discover his identity. He appears in the surveillance footage of the building directly across the one you are supposed to clear out. Looks like he paid a visit to one of the shady real estate agencies two weeks ago. I will search and see if he rented any apartment."

T4 was going to send bogus surveys with cash prizes to all those people, if any of them as much opened one on their computer, he would own all their communication networks.

She did not know if it was a coincidence that the building she was supposed to clear out happened to be the same place this middle aged man paid a visit to. Was this something the central system had seen and calculated?

She took a bunch of fruits from the virtual mall and wrapped them up in two gift baskets from the system mall. Then, she packed up her bag and left the office.

"No more appointments Shu Li, I will be out for the rest of the day."

Shu Li escorted her to the elevator while two of her bodyguards took the gift baskets from her hands.

"Where are we heading to boss?" One of them asked.

"To look at a dead body." She replied.

Shu Li that was closing the elevator doors paused and her hand hovered over the button slightly while she thought through her boss’s words. Why would one need beautiful fruit baskets to look at a dead body? Was it a celebration of someone’s death? But it was not in her position to question the movements or motives of her boss.

She escorted her downstairs and returned to her desk with many wild theories in her head about the gift baskets.
