Chapter 431


    "Alvin, it looks like I need the Grand Eagles back in action." Upon returning to his office, Hansen


    immediately called for Alvin.


    "Mr. Richards, I feel that there is something amiss recently. Everything seems to be fine on the


    surface, but I have a bad feeling about this." Alvin also felt that something was wrong. He furrowed


    his brows and expressed his concerns.


    "Yes, I agree with you," Hansen said with a serious expression, nodding his head. "Alvin, bring


    some men along with you and investigate the matter. Find out who was responsible for snapping


    the photo when I met Luqman yesterday. We must find out why they published it in the newspapers


    and what their motives are."


    Alvin nodded. He turned around and left.


    Hansen made a call to the Richards Group''swyer. His gaze turned cold. A City''s media had gone


    overboard. How dare they publish a photo of him without informing him. It was infuriating.


    The next day, Jenna arrived at thepany early in the morning.


    Hansen workedte the night before. She couldn''t bear to wake him up so early in the morning.


    Hence, she came over herself.


    Thepany had implemented some new protocols. Besides, she was diligent and meticulous, and


    always tried to supervise everything by herself. This made up for the past ws and they had made


    considerable progress.


    It was raining cats and dogs. The atmosphere was gloomy, just like the weather. Lightning shed


    brilliantly and a p of thunder followed.


    Jenna arrived at thepany in the rain. The security guard had just opened the doors and the


    cleaners were busy cleaning up the corridors.

    She took the VIP elevator to the 88th floor. Naturally, she had not been satisfied with the program


    designed by thework department recently and was quite worried about it. Hence, to be on the


    safe side, she asked for three top schrs specializing in software engineering, whom Hansen had


    previously sent abroad, to further their studies. She was going to meet them in person and request


    them to take part in the program''s design. After all, they were Hansen''s subordinates and were far


    more reliable.


    The corridors were pitch ck as the secretaries had not arrived at work yet. It was way too early


    and the necessary preparations were not done.


    Jenna walked to the window and opened the curtains. A bolt of lightning shed across the sky and


    struck the awning outside the building. She couldn''t help but to tremble, and she turned around to


    turn on the lights.


    The bolt of lightning revealed the reflection of a dark figure in the hallway on the window panes.


    Jenna widened her eyes rmingly.


    The next moment, she heard frantic footsteps in the hallway. Whoever it was, the person was


    obviously tiptoeing but Jenna could still hear the sound of someone running away.


    Jenna had a bad feeling about this. Without hesitation, she spun around.


    She caught a glimpse of a form darting away from the hallway.


    The intruder was agile and nimble. Within seconds, the figure had disappearedpletely.


    "Who''s there?" Jenna demanded. She quickly chased after the figure.


    The intruder was running towards the stairs. She chased after them, but the person was too fast.


    Upon arriving downstairs, the intruder was nowhere to be seen.


    "Security, close the entrance immediately and look for anyone suspicious." She quickly called the


    head of the security department.


    Within minutes, the entrance of the International


    Kinsey Center was closed.


    The guards began to search the building, looking for anyone suspicious.


    Jenna stood in the hall on the 88th floor. Her expression was solemn, and she frowned.


    Who in the world dared to break into the President''s and Vice President''s office? What was the


    intruder''s motive?


    The thought crossed her mind and she dashed into her office in a hurry.


    The door of her office was open.


    She pushed it open. Surprisingly, everything was still neat and tidy. There was no sign of anyone


    rummaging for something.


    She remembered that she had closed the door the night before. It seemed that the intruder had


    entered her office. What about Hansen''s?


    She immediately ran towards Hansen''s office.


    However, the door of his office was shut tightly. There were no signs of anyone entering.


    It looked like the intruder was after her.


    Jenna recalled the eerie events that had happened to her in the past few days as well as Liya''s


    strange behavior the day before. Her heart pounded rapidly.


    At this moment, her phone rang and she answered it. Hansen''s voice rang. "Jenna, what


    happened?"


    Hansen had just arrived at the International Kinsey Center. To his surprise, he saw the employees


    standing in front of the building. The rain was still pouring but the entrance door was locked by the


    guards and nobody was allowed to enter.


    Puzzled by this, he enquired one of the security guards and learnt that the entrance had been


    closed under Jenna''s instructions.


    Hansen was shocked. Did something happen?


    Jenna arrived at thepany before him. Could it be that something had happened to her?


    Worried, he dialed her number.


    "Hansen,e up quickly." Jenna felt much more at ease when she heard Hansen''s voice. She


    urged him toe upstairs immediately.


    "Are you alright?" Hansen heaved a sigh of relief when she answered the call. However, he was still


    filled with concern.


    "I''m fine." Jenna shook her head.


    After a while, Hansen arrived at her side.


    "Hansen, I saw a dark figure slip into my office when I walked into the corridor this morning. Before I


    could see who it was, the person had already run away using the stairs. Hence, I gathered the


    guards to search for the intruder." Upon seeing Hansen, Jenna finally calmed down.


    However, her expression was solemn as she told him what happened.


    "An intruder barged into your office?" Hansen was shocked. His gaze turned ice- cold. This was


    indeed astonishing. It was the first time anything like had this happened in the Richards Group. An


    intruder was found on the 88th floor which belonged specifically to the President and the Vice


    President.


    He patted her on the back to calm her down.


    He dialed Alvin''s number immediately.


    Alvin was instructed to check on the progress with the security guards. He came over upon


    receiving the call.


    "Mr. Richards, Ms. Murphy, the security guards had searched the entire building, including the


    corridors, stairways, toilets, and meeting rooms. However, there was no one suspicious." Alvin


    reported upon entering.


    "It''s impossible. I saw it with my own eyes. It happened right in this hallway. The person was fast


    and agile. I did not manage to see if it was a man or a woman. I didn''t even have time to turn on the


    lights," Jenna retorted upon hearing what he said. She was telling the truth. She had really seen


    someone. It did happen but why was there no trace of the intruder? Why?


    She could neither wrap her head around the incident nor did she think that it was just a


    hallucination. It was the same as before. She did feel someone lurking in the corridors but upon


    turning around, there was nobody in sight.


    Could it be that she had imagined all of it?


    No, it was impossible.


    Hansen knitted his brows in concentration. His expression was solemn. He couldn''t help recalling


    what Luqman said. Was Richards Group already on someone''s hit list?


    "But, Ms. Murphy, I have checked everything. Aside from the cleaners and our employees, there


    was no one suspicious," Alvin said confidently.


    "Are you sure you weren''t imagining it?" Hansen turned around to look at Jenna as he asked with


    concern. "Could it be a hallucination as you have been pretty tired at worktely and the corridors


    were pitch-ck?"


    Hallucination? No way.


    Jenna immediately shook her head.


    "Ms. Murphy, is there anything missing from your office? Did anything seem unusual?" After all,


    Alvin had a lot of experience in situations like this and enquired immediately.


    "Well, nothing seems to be missing." Jenna shook her head, looking dejected.


    "Alvin, open the doors and instruct everyone to get back to work. Keep this a secret and don''t tell


    anyone about it." Hansen instructed after pondering for a moment.


    Alvin promised to keep it a secret and left.


    "Hansen, don''t you believe me?" Jenna nced at him after Alvin left.


    Hansen drew closer and noticed that blood had drained from her face. He helped her to a chair and


    said gently, "I might have my doubts if it was someone else, but I will believe you, no matter what."


    "Really?" Jenna''s face lit up.


    "Of course." Hansen wrapped his arms around her shoulders and said affectionately, "Please, you


    are my wife and you are Jerry''s mother. You are the person I trust the most in this world. If I don''t


    even believe you, who else could I trust?"


    "Thank you for believing me." Jenna smiled and rested her head on his shoulder.


    "However, we need evidence if we are to do anything. I will make a mental note of this incident but


    we better keep it a secret for the time being before we know who we are facing. I''ll let Alvin and his


    men inspect your officeter. If the person really has any ulterior motives, they would definitely


    leave a trace. Believe me," Hansen said softly as he held her hand.


    "Okay." Jenna nodded. She recalled what happened on the night when she stood by theke and


    was about to tell him about the incident when his phone rang.


    "Alvin, what''s the matter?"


    Jenna couldn''t hear what Alvin said but she heard Hansen''s response. "Record the names of


    everyone present at that time including the employees and hand the list to meter. Besides, get


    two men from the Grand Eagles toe over to Ms. Murphy''s office and inspect it. Remember, do


    not let anyone know about this." Hansen paused for a while as he put down his phone, and said to


    Jenna, "Jenna, I have something urgent to attend to. I''ll be going out for a while. Two men wille


    overter on to inspect your office. Have a good rest in the meantime and don''t stress yourself


    thinking about it. Don''t worry. I''m here. Everything will get better."


    Seeing that he was very busy, Jenna nodded her head. She decided to tell him what happened


    some other time.


    Soon, Alvin came over with two men. They inspected the office. After a while, they looked at one


    another and walked out of the office.


    Jenna wanted to stop Alvin and ask him what they found but Alvin was in a rush. He only turned


    around and smiled politely at her.


    "Mr. Richards, we really did find this thing." Alvin entered Hansen''s office and handed him a pinhole


    camera.


    Hansen held the pinhole camera. His expression darkened and it was scary.


    Luqman was right. Someone was targeting the Richards Group. They had already made a move.


    "Don''t tell Ms. Murphy about this for the time being. She will be worried. From now onwards, you are


    in charge of the Richards'' Group security. Something might ur to the Richards Group in the near


    future. No matter who it is and what they want, we cannot let anything happen to the Richards


    Group. We have to protect it, no matter what." Hansen''s expression was solemn and his gaze was


    cold.


    Alvin''s instincts told him that the matter was serious and he nodded his head.
