Chapter 1940


    Susan quickly wore it on her neck, packed her backpack, and got ready to meet the young man,


    only to notice two studentsing her way.


    “Someone’s looking for you at the entrance, Susan.”


    “Huh?”


    Susan was taken aback.


    Who’s looking for me? I don’t know anyone here aside from just a few people.


    Upon walking to the school entrance with her backpack, she spotted a silver Land Rover parked


    outside as a young man in military uniform stood outside the vehicle waiting for her.


    “It’s you, Vincent.”


    “Yup.”


    Vivian was as dashing as always, but his gaze darkened slightly as he noticed the exquisite


    ne the Astorian woman was now wearing.


    “I came over today because I need your help with something, Ms. Limmer.”


    “Go ahead,” Susan responded at once, sighing with relief internally at the realization that he just


    wanted her help.


    Yet, the man’s expression turned grim as soon as he spoke. There was also a hint of rage in his


    eyes.


    “We’ve been dealing with a few cases of people having gone missing these days. ording to


    police reports, this may have something to do with an ongoing international organ-trafficking case.


    That’s why I thought of asking the young Mr. Hayes for ess to his informationpany.”


    “What?”


    There was so much to take in that Susan fell into a daze upon hearing Vincent’s words.


    He wants to use… Ian’s informationpany?


    The woman was extremely taken aback.


    Still, her astonishment was immediately reced by a feeling of pride once she returned to her


    senses.


    My boy’s doing so well now, huh?


    Later at noon, Ian brought Vincent to a new electronic informationpany that was newly


    established under Hayes Corporation and had the software engineers there help retrieve data on


    the trafficking group.


    Thispany wouldn’t have been founded if it weren’t for Ian, and the fact that a local official had


    dropped by to seek the firm’s help within less than a year of its establishment showed how rapidly it


    was progressing.


    “ording to the leads you’ve provided, Lieutenant, we’ve only managed toe up with three


    individuals who meet the requirements. The first one’s a local fishery


    tycoon, the second’s an oil magnate from Ackleton, andstly, Hugo Tn from Southeast Astoria.


    “Hugo Tn?”


    The mere mention of this person’s name caused Vincent’s expression to cloud over.


    Ian and Susan waited carefreely inside the office, not interfering much with what Vincent and the


    software engineers were doing.


    On the other hand, the subsidiary manager gasped as he heard that name.


    “Are they talking about the Tn family, Mr. Hayes?”


    “Hmm?”


    Ian nced at him, confused by his reaction.


    “Hugo Tn’s the head of Astoria’s underground world,” the manager exined hastily. “He seems


    like a businessman on the outside, but the truth is every underground industry chain in Astoria has


    to go through him. In fact, sometimes when the legitimate cargo ships are too afraid to carry our


    smuggled goods, we have to get his help.”


    He let out a sigh.


    Remaining silent, Ian finally exited his game, opened up a browser tab, and ran a search on “Hugo


    Tn.”


    “Good Lord! He’s that terrifying? I can’t believe he’s actually in control of the entire region of


    Southeast Astoria! He’s even involved in some of the things we do. His resources are pretty much


    on par with the Hayes family’s!” the manager eximed.


    “Actually, I’ve heard of this saying…” he continued warily. “In Astoria, the Tns are basically Hayes


    Corporation’s evil counterpart. That’s what people in the underworld say.”


    Ian finally glowered as he heard those remarks.


    How dare a criminal gangpare itself to Hayes Corporation? These guys obviously don’t know


    their ce.


    Now, he was ticked off.


    About ten minutester, Vincent walked over with his men and nced at the people inside the


    room. “Thank you for your help today, Mr. Hayes. We’ve found our guy.”


    “Where is he?”


    No one had expected the young president of thepany to actually speak.


    He still sounded as frigid as ever, though.


    It took Vincent a moment to ustom himself to that. “It’s most likely the guy in Southeast Astoria.


    All of Astoria’s underworld answers to him, and we’ve found out that many wealthy figures have


    gone theretely.”


    “To traffic organs?”


    “That should be the case, so we’re going to make our preparations right away. Thank you once


    again, Mr. Hayes.”

    With that, Vincent headed out.


    Ian had no intention of keeping him, but after seeing thetter leave, he decided to ask for Hugo


    Tn’s details from one of the software engineers.


    Hugo really was a force to reckon with.


    Judging from its aerial shots, his residence appeared to be two-thirds wider than the Oceanic


    Estate. Moreover, the entire sea area in front of it belonged to him too.


    “I wonder what Vincent ns to do. He’s up against such a powerful force. Is he going to be in


    danger?”


    Susan couldn’t help but worry after finding out about Hugo too.


    As soon as her words fell, the young man sitting in front of her turned around slowly, his


    emotionless gaze sending chills down her spine.


    “D-Don’t get me wrong. I just… I figured that these bad guys could kill anyone without batting an


    eye, and Vincent’s probably going to send the police. I-I’m just worried about them,” she exined


    hurriedly.
