Chapter 1924


    Faced with Rhea’s doubts, Lily was neither angry nor nervous. Instead, she raised her pen upward and


    pointed to the ceiling. "Oh, but there are CCTVs."


    Rhea immediately fell silent but still did not believe Lily. "No one checks the surveince footage, so


    you can run your mouth! Who knows if you were really at theb?!"


    "I did."


    Lily initially wanted to defend herself by saying Rhea could check the footage if she did not believe her,


    but before Lily could open her mouth, the man at the side spoke. Lily was startled and quickly


    swallowed her words.


    "What?!" Rhea did not expect him to defend Lily and was momentarily stunned.


    "I''ve checked all the monitoring systems, and she’s not lying," the man said in a deep voice.


    The ''she'' he mentioned naturally referred to Lily.


    Rhea''s lips moved as if he wanted to say something. Instead, she stared at Lily fiercely and leaned


    back, somewhat unconvinced.


    "All right, it''s useless to discuss this now. Our priority is to get the boss back as soon as possible. Rick,


    you''ve been with the boss for the longest time and know the most. Do you have any suspicions about


    who it is; who has such ability to take the boss away?" Mike diverted the conversation back to the main


    topic slowly.


    Rick looked at him with deep brown eyes and lightly said, "As for who it is, I have no idea yet. But I


    want to ask if you should know best what you were doing then."


    As soon as Mike changed the topic, Rick suddenly threw the arrow of suspicion back at Mike.


    Mike sneered. "So, are you suspicious of me as well?!"


    He nodded and continued, "Indeed! I was indeed the only one there at that time. The boss was looking


    for me, saying he had something to tell me, so I went over immediately. However, someone suddenly


    attacked him, and even your people were no match for the attacker. What else could I do?! I''m lucky I

    managed to get away with my life!"


    He patted his injured leg with his hand to confirm his statement, even though the pain made him sweat


    profusely.


    "Is your injury severe?" Rick asked suddenly.


    Lily sensed something was wrong, nced over, and saw that Rick was already by Mike''s side. Rick


    pressed one hand against Mike''s shoulders and held a sharp knife in his other. A sh of the cold steel


    —


    "What are you doing?!" Mike eximed in surprise.


    Lily''s eyes darkened. She clenched her pen tightly and noticed Rick had shed the bandage wrapped


    around Mike''s leg. Even his trousers tore, revealing a hideous wound. The wound was long and thin


    and looked like a deep cut with the skin torn apart.


    Although these people had witnessed many bloody scenes, they could not help but frown.


    Rhea subconsciously turned away andined unhappily, "What are you doing, Rick?!"


    "A knife wound?" Rick asked, raising his eyebrows.


    Mike huffed and cursed angrily, "Nonsense! Of course, it''s a knife wound. Did you think it was a


    gunshot wound? If it was a gun, how could no one notice? Sometimes, I question how you guys have


    been around the boss for so long!"
