Chapter 1919


    The small room suddenly became stuffy after the bookcase door closed. It was hard to breathe without


    a single window. However, it was a perfect hiding ce for Lily and Edward.


    The two looked at each other without a word, then heard footsteps and someone talking outside.


    Someone seemed to have discovered the bodyguards lying at the doorway and rushed into the office,


    yelling, “Sir?! Sir!”


    Lily tensed up and gripped the desk corner beside her as she listened intently.


    “What took you guys so long?” Mike’s voice was tinged with anger and sounded authoritative.


    “Mr. Corden?” Those grunts knew him and were shocked when they saw him.


    Mike said, “You imbeciles! Where were you?!”


    “Mr. Corden, what the hell happened?”


    Mike said solemnly, “Someone barged in and kidnapped the boss, but I got wounded and couldn’t stop


    them. They’re a bunch of losers!”


    Although Lily was not outside and could not see him, she knew he referred to the bodyguards lying


    outside in thest sentence.


    “Who were they? How did they enter the office? They need the passcode to get in here!” The grunts


    were puzzled.


    Judging from the question, Lily knew Mike’s words did not entirely convince them. Then she heard Mike


    raise his voice, “How the f*ck would I know?! Why do you ask me? They nearly stabbed me to death,


    you know? Stop wasting time and f*cking chase after them!”


    “Uh…” After being scolded, the grunts were probably confused and did not suspect anything,


    significantly since Mike was indeed injured.


    “Mr. Corden, how many were there? Where did they take the boss? How long has it been since they

    left?”


    “Quite a while ago. Just hurry! They dressed up like our workers… Yes, just like you guys! They could


    be spies working among us. Are you sure there are none among you?” Mike started using them by


    mixing truths and lies.


    It was a perfect diversion that could create rifts within the organization.


    “Mr. Corden, we would never betray the organization!”


    “How would I know if there’s a spy among you guys? If there isn’t, don’t waste time and chase after


    them!”


    The grunts seemed to realize something, and a flurry of their chaotic footsteps soon followed. However,


    their footsteps gradually became distant this time, indicating they had all left.


    Lily sighed in relief and thought, ‘It seems Mike is quick-witted. I didn’t know how to handle the


    situation, but he handled it well. His wound also helped. They got fooled, and it’s a state of emergency


    to them now.


    ‘Still, if someone discovers that Mike’s wound isn’t knife-inflicted when they return, it’ll expose his lies.’


    Lily was about to leave the secret room and tell Mile to settle the matter and leave when she heard


    something and stopped. As she expected, one of the grunts had already returned in less than two


    minutes. “Mr. Corden, in which direction did those men run off?”


    After a pause, Mike shouted, “How the f*ck would I know?! Would they send me their f*cking location


    after going downstairs? If I weren’t f*cking wounded, I would’ve given chase and not asked imbeciles


    like you for help!”
