Chapter 275: Beat Him at His Own Game
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Billy didn’t expect Caroline to catch him red-handed just because he appeared under the blurry surveillance and picked up something. He said stubbornly, [I just let my guard down for a moment!]
Caroline knew his nature. It was not easy to make him consciously train. She just wanted to use this to give him a warning. [I hope so.]
Billy looked down at his slightly loose stomach, gritted his teeth, and went out of the lounge to find Luhn, who was busy installing computers. “Two days ago, you said that there was a new gym that’s having a promotion?”
“It’s just a street ahead near the department store.” Luhn also knew that his boss was very lazy. He usually didn’t think of going to exercise, so when he heard Billy’s question, he was a little puzzled. “Why are you suddenly asking about these things?”
Billy looked like he was in pain. He looked at the new equipment in the shop and said irritably, “After accepting such an expensive thing, you have to pay something.” It was just training. It was not like he had never trained before. Now, he could still recover to his peak in minutes.
Billy held his head high and walked out valiantly. Luhn looked at his back and felt a little bleak. He shook his head. “As expected, it’s not that easy to live off a woman.”
However, if a rich woman gave him something worth millions in one go, he would stay in the gym 24 hours a day without sleeping. He would work hard to get an eight-pack!
While Billy started his arduous physical training, Caroline followed the original plan. On the surface, she was investigating the arson case with Jeffrey, while secretly getting people to investigate Jeffrey’s movements in the past two years, trying to find out what he had done in the planetarium.
In the piano room, after another busy day, the four-man team who hadn’t made much progress sighed. Then, Jeffrey received a call and left early.
After he left, Ken went to lock the door of the piano room and said, ‘We spent some time investigating Jeffrey, only to find that his past movements had been completely erased.”
Caroline was puzzled. “What do you mean by erased?”
“It means that in the past two years, other than going to school and going home, he didn’t leave any traces anywhere else. Even his social media account and online shopping records have been cleaned up.”
Caroline frowned. “Although he’s not an active person and might not go out much, it’s impossible for him to not go out at all and not socialize. So, if we can’t find him, it means that it has been deleted.”
There was a moment of silence in the piano room. Caroline’s voice was a little angry. “It seems that he is hiding something from us, and it is the key to this fire.”
Ken hesitated. “I doubt his purpose for asking for help. Considering the risks involved, maybe we should reconsider whether we should continue the investigation. ” ｂｅ𝚍ｎｏ𝚟𝚎ｌ.𝚌𝚘ｍ
“Although we’re here to assist in the investigation of the fire, our priority is to ensure your safety,” Morton chimed in. “So, if we’re sure that Jeffrey has ill intentions and is trying to use you, we’ll report this matter to Mr. Anderson and let him decide.”
Jeffrey, who was listening through the monitor, frowned.
Although he did want to borrow the Anderson family’s power for his own use, he was unwilling to appear in front of the Anderson family’s young master with an ill-intentioned image. Not only would this not do him any good, but it would also expose his identity.
Fortunately, Caroline didn’t give in because of Ken’s one-sided words. She stopped them, “This is only our initial suspicion. We don’t have any evidence to prove Jeffrey’s danger, so we shouldn’t act rashly.”
Ken hesitated for a moment before agreeing. “Speaking of which, we didn’t come up empty-handed. I observed him for a few days and discovered that although Jeffrey’s thin and weak body isn’t too eye-catching in the college, his facial features are quite handsome, so he still has admirers. From this angle, I discovered some clues.”
Jeffrey’s heart skipped a beat, and he heard Caroline’s curious question through the earpiece. “Really? Which girl was the one?”
“Sonia Hill, a sophomore in the Philosophy Department.”
Jeffrey thought for a moment, but he couldn’t remember anything about this girl. Caroline was the same. “I don’t remember anyone like her. Is she beautiful?”
Ken was helpless. “I don’t think that’s the point. The point is that she mentioned in her social media account that she accidentally bumped into Jeffrey somewhere..”
