Chapter 871 An Enemy From The Past (Part Three)


    Mike could see his father holding a file in his hands. He was browsing through it-ing back to a


    certain page, and then turned again to the next page. He then put down the file, sped his hands, and


    rested his chin on it. He was silent for a while, took a deep breathe, and finally addressed his private


    detectives. He asked, "So what is this person''s location as we speak? Who is this person associated


    with right now?" Hearing this, Mike knew that this was something serious. He hadn''t seen these men


    here for a long time, not since his father tried to look for Mike''s suitable bride.


    A man in ck suit moved forward and replied, "From our investigation, we found out that she lives in a


    downtown apartment not too far from here. She lives with her friend who is also a member of the elite


    society."


    "And who is this friend you''re talking about?" Soren asked. He was interested to know who this friend


    was. Soren wanted to know who he was dealing with. He was a very cautious man and would not make


    a move unless he knew exactly the rules of the game and its yers. Soren had known how this elite


    society worked, and he was not the easy one to just yield to any threat to his business, to his family,


    nor to his friends.


    The man nced at a piece of paper he was holding. After which, he folded it and returned it to his


    pocket. He then replied to Soren, "Sharon Qin, Fred Xiao''s wife. From our surveince, they were seen


    hanging out together."


    "Sharon Qin?" Soren repeated as if he hadn''t heard clearly. He knew Sharon Qin, but he wasn''t sure if


    this was the right information that was being fed to him by his private detectives.


    Soren was about to ask more questions when he heard footsteps approaching. He cast a sidelong


    nce in the direction of Mike and saw his son walk into the room. When Mike reached to his side,


    Soren immediately dismissed his men.


    "You may leave now," he said.


    "Yes, boss," the men in ck replied submissively. And they all headed towards the door.


    As soon as the men step out of the house, Mike made his way to the living room. He was studying his


    father from afar who had said nothing when he came in. His father''s face was serious as he was


    looking at the file on his hands. "What''s up, Dad? Has something happened?" he casually asked.


    "Someone returned to this country. There was no news about it at all. I only found out when one of my


    men reported it to me," Soren told his son.


    Mike asked, "Who are you talking about?" Mike could see the look on his father''s face. It was not of


    fear but of concern. This was all new to Mike as he hadn''t seen his father this concerned over


    something. ''It must be in these papers, '' Mike concluded. He took the file from his father''s hand and


    looked at the first page which had a name and a picture of a woman he immediately recognized.


    "Sally He," Mike said, almost like a murmur. But since it was quite silent in the living room, Soren heard


    him clearly.


    "Sally He. She was the one I was telling you about," Soren replied. Looking at his son''s facial


    expression upon seeing the picture, he asked, "Do you know her, son?"


    Mike was silent. He was staring at the paper nkly, and unconsciously muttered, "Lawrence was


    damn right. She is really back in the city."


    When Soren heard this, he instantly realized that Mike knew something that he didn''t. Soren was now


    certain that Lawrence Chu knew this woman. He then shared to his son his thoughts, "This woman had


    aplicated history with the Chu family. From what I assumed, she came back for the family. But


    what bothers me is, Jackson''s family is not here. If she''s after them, then there''s no point because they


    are not in the country as we speak. So, I wonder what she really wants."


    "Have you heard any news from the JC group?" Mike asked his father. His voice sounded more


    concerned than when he first came in. Aside from Aria, the JC Group was also one of Mike''s biggest


    concerns since Lawrence was away. Mike knew that Lawrence dealt with JC Group''s business


    endeavors before he left, but Mike still had some hesitations when it came to Sally He. Mike was afraid


    that this vicious woman would take Lawrence''s absence as an opportunity to strike and destroy the JC


    Group.


    Soren thought for a moment. After going through his memory, he replied to his son, "None that I know


    of. Come to think of it, I haven''t heard anything about JC Group. Seems like everything is fine with the


    "Then why are you interested in that Sally He?" Mike asked his father. Soren only used his private


    detectives when the matter was rted to any of his business partners like the JC Group. But this one


    wasn''t. So, there must be a bigger reason why his father was so interested in this Sally He.


    Soren''s facial expression changed. His eyes turned gloomy and he looked down. He took a deep


    breathe and said, "My best friend died. No, he was murdered. ording to the autopsy report, the

    cause of death was by poison. The poison was said to be from New Zend. And when I sent my men


    to investigate further, I found out that the poison was brought in by Sally He."


    Mike remained silent. Mike also realized that Sally He was a dangerous woman. ''What does she want


    from the JC Group?'' Mike asked himself.


    "Mike, is there something that Lawrence has told you about Sally? I need all the information I could


    get," Soren asked his son. Finding something about Sally was challenging for Soren even with the help


    of his best private detectives. It wasn''t easy to obtain information about this cunning woman because


    she was too cautious. But Lawrence must have known something about Sally from his personal


    experience. Anyway, Sally used to be close friends with the Chu family. Mike must have heard


    something from Lawrence about Sally that could be useful to Soren.


    Without answering his father, Mike took the file again and sat next to his father. He read through the


    files and asked his father earnestly, "It said here that Sally and Sharon are connected. Are you sure


    about this, Dad?"


    Soren''s face stiffened. He looked at his son and nodded his head in affirmation. He said firmly, "I''ve


    never been this sure about anything. And I have faith in my men. They have never put me down."


    "All right, Dad. If you say so," Mike reassured his father. He put the file down on the sofa and put his


    right hand on his father''s left shoulder. Mike looked at his father then said, "Listen, Dad. I know you''re


    affected by your best friend''s death but please stay out of this matter. Let me do this for you instead."
