Power of Money

Chapter 225

"Someone died?" Jason was stunned and could not help but stop.

Yennie still maintained a cold face. She stood next to Jason and whispered, "A bodyguard at the back door died. The murderer is probably already inside the house. Uncle Dong is investigating it. It's not appropriate for you to expose your identity now. Let's go to the conference room to see Chief Shen first."

Jason nodded and explained to Elanie. Then he left with Yennie.

Elanie looked at the back of the two people with confusion. When she thought about what had happened when she first met Jason, a very absurd idea appeared in her mind.

In the conference room on the third floor.

The date- red wooden furniture, dark red carpet. Several old high-ranking men sitting in the middle. The whole atmosphere was very serious.

Jason stood next to Yennie, looking at David who was with a dark face, Jay, and two middle- aged men who he had never met before. After thinking for a while, he didn't say anything.

"Jason, let's get to know each other first. This is your second uncle, Wyatt Chen, vice secretary of the Ministry of Political and Law in the Capital City. He is the closest to your mother, and he has hugged you when you were a baby..."

David pointed to the middle-aged man, who was wearing a Chinese tunic suit and had an inch-long and half-white hair, and introduced him.

"Second uncle?"

Wasn't he Jessica's father?

Jason was stunned for a moment. He quickly nodded and said, "Nice to meet you, Uncle Wyatt."

Wyatt smiled. At the same time, David reached out to another middle-aged man in a white shirt and introduced, "This is your youngest uncle, the deputy minister of the Public Security Department in the Capital City, Corey Jiang. When you were lost at that time, he almost resigned to find you. These years, he has been concerned about your affairs. Today, he specifically asked for leave to see you..."

"Hello, uncle Corey."

Looking at these big shots of the whole police system in the country, Jason couldn't help but look at Jay from the corner of his eyes. He also had a general understanding of the connection between them.

"All right, you uncles and nephew, let's talk about it later. Let's listen to Yennie's report about the situation first." David patted the sofa aside and beckoned Jason to sit down.

"Okay, I'll make a long story short."

"The deceased named Bryce Wu, retired from the army, 42 years old, belonged to the Shen's Group's security department. He was responsible for guarding the backyard of the villa tonight. When he was discovered, he got stabbed three times. Two were stabbed in his lower abdomen. The fatal injury was in the throat. He was killed with one shot. Before he died, he didn't call for help. His body was discovered when the guards changed the duty. There was no clues left on the spot. According to our preliminary inference, the murderer had sneaked into the villa with unknown purpose."

Yennie briefly reported.

"When the deceased was killed, was he the only one who was on duty?" Jay asked.

"Well, according to the arrangement of the guards, it should be two person in one team and a change in three hours. But at that time, another bodyguard received a transfer order from Uncle Dong and went to the front yard to check out the guests who entered the scene. The time of his leaving was about 17 minutes. The time of the murderer's crime should be during this period," Yennie said.

Two person in one team.

Jason frowned and asked subconsciously, "What time is his death time?"

"Ah? It's between 7:00 to 7:17," Yennie replied.

Hearing this, Jason frowned even more tightly. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"What's wrong? Have you seen that person before?"

David noticed the change in his son's expression.

"No, but I seemed to be there at that time..."

Jason recalled. If he remembered correctly, it was just after half past six when he greeted Mary at the door and went to the back door to look for Elanie.

After he went to the backyard, Elanie persuaded the security guards, and then they had a conversation in the backyard. After thoes, it should be close to 7 o'clock when he left.

In other words, it was possible that the murderer had appeared at the back door shortly after he had left. Then he killed the bodyguard and sneaked into the villa.

So... He might brush past the murderer?

Fear, doubt... All kinds of complex emotions welled up in his mind for a moment.

At this time, David winked at Yennie. Yennie nodded and turned to leave the meeting room.

In the banquet hall on the third floor, there was a hubbub of voices.

The Shen family and the Chans, as well as the guests who took the opportunity to come in, all gathered here.

People gathered together, exchanging business cards and contact information with each other, looking forward to the cooperation in the future and the promotion of some huge orders.

the Li family was the most eye-catching one.

After what happened at the door, everyone in the Li family was full of pride, especially the bald, Parker, and Liya.

The three of them gathered together, laughing at Elanie, who was a little absent-minded in the corner, while looking around enviously.

"Haha, once we get the approval of the Shen family today, plus the support of the Jiang family in the Capital City, our family will revitalize and revive the prosperous situation in the past. It's just a matter of time." Parker raised his glass proudly, and his eyes were full of expectations for the future of his family.

And the bald man was also on the side and flatteringly said, "That's right, for this revival, father and uncle have made a lot of effort for our family. At that time, you must control the entertainment and real estate industry. These are the two most profitable industries. No matter what, you can't let them fall into the hands of others."

"Well, real estate is indeed profitable, but you mentioned the film industry... It's mainly because you want to play with stars, isn't it? Don't think that I don't know your little thoughts. Save energy. Men

should focus more on their career rather than on women. Do you understand?" Parker said in a disappointing tone.

But at the same time, the topic of the three people stopped abruptly and was instantly attracted by a beautiful figure coming from a distance.

"Miss Jiang?"

Seeing that Yennie went straight to the front, the three of them hurriedly put down their glasses and walked up to her flatteringly.

"You three, come with."

After Yennie finished her words coldly, she turned around and left.

The three of them looked at each other. Although they were very confused, they still obediently followed her.

"Miss Jiang, did you say those words to us just now because of the Shen family? I can understand that. After all, we're in the territory of the Shen family, so we have to show the Shen family some respects. We don't care about it. But please hand the boy just now to me. When the banquet is over, I will break his legs myself. Damn, I am so angry..."

Parker followed closely behind Yennie. While flattering her with a smile, he cursed Jason viciously.

Yennie didn't say anything. She left the banquet hall through the back door with the three of them. She didn't stop until she passed through several doors in a row.

"Throw the three of them in kennel. Do not let them out until I pick them up in person."

The cold words echoed in the empty room.

Before Parker could react, the two doors on the left and right sides of the room were suddenly pushed open. A group of strong men in suits answered and came out, dragging the iron chain in their hands to the ground with crash sounds.

"What, what are you going to do? Yennie, what do you mean? What kennel? What the hell are you going to do?"

Parker looked at the strong men standing in two rows with a pale face. He was shivering and was about to turn around and run when he suddenly saw this group of people rushing up. There was almost no time to react. The three people were pressed to the ground. With a crash of iron chains, their hands and feet were shackled tightly and they lost their ability to move.

After doing all this, Yennie turned around and left without looking back.

"We've discussed it. Don't expose my identity. Tonight, the murderer will definitely show up."

On the corridor between the meeting room and the banquet hall, Yennie met Jason.

Hearing Jason's words, Yennie frowned slightly. Then, she opened her mouth in disbelief and said, "You mean the murderer..."

Jason nodded and said, "The family gathering will be held almost every year, and it will be held more than once a year. However, something happened just tonight. They suspect that some people in the family want to take the opportunity to make trouble."

"Inside the family?"

The confusion flashed by in Yennie's eyes. She was about to shake her head, but after a second thought, she said, "Then I'll be with you. I've been studying kickboxing for a few years, and I can guarantee your safety."

"No need." Jason smiled and said, "You're too obvious. You have been watched by everyone. How can the murderer have a chance to get close to me?"

"Besides, my two uncles have already sent the guards to me. They are in the banquet hall now. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

As Jason said this, he walked to the banquet hall with Yennie. When they were about to open the door, they suddenly heard the sound of glass breaking. Then they looked up and saw the Starry Sky glass ceiling between the third and fourth floor suddenly collapsed!

Accompanied by the pieces of glass, a woman with snow-white body fell from the ceiling.

Blood was all over the ground!
