As both men headed toward the elevator, John asked, “Is everything ready?”
Zack nodded in response. “Ready when you are, boss.”
At that moment, they ran into William, who happened to come out of his office. When he saw both of them in
decent attire, he couldn’t help but feel a little surprised. There is no fieldwork today, plus John has a meeting to
attend later, so where exactly are they going? Just as William was about to step forward and find out, the elevator
door opened, whereupon John and Zack walked inside.
While William didn’t manage to get to John in time, he soon felt a vibration from his phone a few seconds later
before realizing it was a message from his son. ‘I have some important business to take care of, so I’m going to
take a leave today. Anyway, the documents you need are ready on the table in my office.’

his trance and made his way to John’s office. I don’t remember seeing John coming back yesterday, and it looks like
he is going to be missing again for the whole day. With his brows furrowed, William pondered in John’s office for a
while, trying to figure out what was going on. John has never acted so strangely.
In the meantime, John sat in the car right beside Zack, who then made a call. Due to the loud audio volume, John
could clearly hear what the voice from the receiving end was saying. “Husky has come around, and he seems to be
of sound mind. At the same time, Roselia has also given her statement to the police. So, what are we going to do
about that?”
Before Zack could say anything, John chuckled and replied, “What kind of question is that? Just deal with it like you
normally would.”
Zack understood what John meant by that, so he said, “The people in the hospital have already lodged a police
report for Husky. As for Miss Stone, I suppose we should let the police know about her as well.”
In fact, it was obvious that whoever hurt Husky wanted him dead. For that, the hospital’s management had decided
to involve the police even without John saying anything. While Husky didn’t seem to be in a fit condition to give a
statement the day before, John believed that the police would soon visit him once more. Since Husky is going to get
exposed, there is no need for us to hide Roselia anymore. We might as well let the police deal with her too.
Meanwhile, the person responded with an affirmative reply upon hearing Zack’s words and hung up the call. Then,
John leaned back on his seat and pinched his forehead. “What’s the status with the shadow bank now?” Zack
quickly replied, “A little bird told me that Old Mr. Bailey went there again earlier today. I believe it’s about the

business that Elder Mr. Bailey wants to pass down to him in the past two days. Thus, he is trying to get to know the
people there more.” “That’s good news,” John smiled and said. After a brief pause, something seemingly crossed
Zack’s mind. “You weren’t home last night. I bet Sophia is worried sick about you.” “I know she is, but I also believe
she knows what we must do,” John answered while blinking. Sophia may not know the entire story, but she should
have a rough picture of what’s going on. At the very least, she should be able to piece the puzzles together after
noticing John’s unusual behavior last night. Because Sophia was known to be a smart lady, Zack had never dared to
underestimate her. Thus, he was convinced that Sophia must have figured out something. After brief
contemplation, Zack asked, “What did Young Master Logan say?” Upon hearing Logan’s name, John laughed in
amusement and answered, “Well, he sent me the bank’s interior layout last night, and I wonder how he got his
hands on something like that.” Zack nodded. “Young Master Logan’s clubhouse has everything you can imagine, so
I’d say any intel from him is quite reliable.” Meanwhile, Sophia only just woke up and realized that she was alone
with Old Mrs. Constance in the main building.
