Chapter 1534 The Young Man


    “Of course.” Lupine bobbed her head. “I’ll report back to you when the results are in.”


    “Mm. It’ste. You should go to bed,” Charlotte reminded her.


    “What about you?” Lupine asked with concern. “It’s almost two in the morning. Aren’t you going to bed? You need


    to go to thepany early tomorrow morning.”


    “I’ll just read a few more documents…”


    Charlotte’s sentence was cut short when her phone began vibrating. She nced at the screen and shot a look at


    Lupine.


    Lupine immediately shut the door to prevent someone from eavesdropping on the conversation.


    After answering the call, Charlotte greeted, “Ms. Gold.”


    “Ms. Lindberg, I hope I didn’t disturb you.” Nancy’s careful voice sounded over the line.


    “No.” Charlotte hadn’t expected her call. “What is this about, Ms. Gold?”


    “I have some questions,” Nancy stated hesitantly. “I don’t know if I should pose them to you.”


    “Go ahead,” Charlotte answered.


    “I—” Nancy was about to speak when the line got cut off.


    “Hello? Hello!” Charlotte said, but the call was hung up. Frowning, she wondered if she should call Nancy back but


    thought the better of it.


    If something happened to Nancy, I might make things worse by calling her back.


    “Why did the call end?”


    Lupine was waiting to hear what it was, but before they could start talking, the call was ended.


    “Perhaps something cropped up.” Charlotte narrowed her eyes. “But Nancy must’ve called me because she


    realized something was up. That’s a good thing.”


    “What should we do next?” Lupine asked softly.


    “What else?” came Charlotte’s calm reply. “The enemy is in hiding, and we’re in the open. We have no choice but to


    wait until they take action and act ordingly!”


    “All right…” Lupine was about to go on when her phone rang. She answered it hastily and demanded, “Hello, Jade.


    What is it?”


    “We confirmed it was the van of the restaurant that was transporting some fresh beef. The packaging was torn,


    causing the blood to stter on our car.”


    “All right.” Lupine heaved a sigh of relief. “I’m d it’s nothing. You guys should return and have a good rest.”


    “Okay, Lupine.”


    After hanging up, Jade turned to the buyer. “You should drive safe instead of driving recklessly. The winding road is


    narrow. It’s dangerous if we were to bump into each other.”


    “Yes, we understand.” The restaurant manager nodded. He turned to the buyer and yelled, “Hear that, young


    man?”

    “You should drive carefully, not me.” The short-haired buyer was wearing a ck mask and ck cap. His voice


    was dripping with disdain as he said, “Are you in a hurry to seek death? Why did you drive so fast on a winding


    road?”


    “Hey!” Jade flushed red in anger. She nearly gave him a p, but Emma stopped her and frowned at the buyer.


    “Don’t be rude.”


    “That’s right!” Afraid of offending Jade, the manager pped the shorty’s head. “Just be careful! Don’t talk back to


    them…”


    Before he could finish, the young man pinned him onto the chopping block. The huge and sharp cleaver was right


    next to his neck.


    The manager’s eyes widened in fear.


    “I’m a part-time employee, not your servant,” the young man said, ring at him. “Don’t order me around!”


    The manager’s jaw hung wide as he trembled profusely without saying a word.


    Both Jade and Emma were stunned by the sudden turn of events. They finally snapped to their senses after a


    moment and stepped forward to stop him. “Hey, you…”


    Before they could take action, the man pushed the manager away and used the cleaver to pick his nails. “You can


    leave now. Remember to drive carefully!”q
