Chapter 1534 The Young Man
"Of course.â Lupine bobbed her head. âI'll report back to you when the results are in.â
âMm. It's late. You should go to bed,â Charlotte reminded her.
"What about you?â Lupine asked with concern. âIt's almost two in the morning. Aren't you going to
bed? You need to go to the company early tomorrow morning.â
âI'll just read a few more documents...â
Charlotte's sentence was cut short when her phone began vibrating. She glanced at the screen and
shot a look at Lupine.
Lupine immediately shut the door to prevent someone from eavesdropping on the conversation.
After answering the call, Charlotte greeted, âMs. Gold.â
âMs. Lindberg, I hope I didn't disturb you.â Nancy's careful voice sounded over the line.
âNo.â Charlotte hadn't expected her call. âWhat is this about, Ms. Gold?â
âI have some questions,â Nancy stated hesitantly. âI donât know if I should pose them to you.â
âGo ahead,â Charlotte answered.
âIâ" Nancy was about to speak when the line got cut off.
"Hello? Hello!â Charlotte said, but the call was hung up. Frowning, she wondered if she should call
Nancy back but thought the better of it.
If something happened to Nancy, I might make things worse by calling her back.
"Why did the call end?â
Lupine was waiting to hear what it was, but before they could start talking, the call was ended.
âPerhaps something cropped up.â Charlotte narrowed her eyes. âBut Nancy must've called me
because she realized something was up. That's a good thing.â
âWhat should we do next?â Lupine asked softly.
"What else?â came Charlotte's calm reply. âThe enemy is in hiding, and we're in the open. We have
no choice but to wait until they take action and act accordingly!â
âAll right...â Lupine was about to go on when her phone rang. She answered it hastily and
demanded, âHello, Jade. What is it?"
âWe confirmed it was the van of the restaurant that was transporting some fresh beef. The
packaging was torn, causing the blood to splatter on our car.â
"All right.â Lupine heaved a sigh of relief. âI'm glad it's nothing. You guys should return and have a
good rest.â
"Okay, Lupine.â
After hanging up, Jade turned to the buyer. âYou should drive safe instead of driving recklessly. The
winding road is narrow. It's dangerous if we were to bump into each other.â
âYes, we understand.â The restaurant manager nodded. He turned to the buyer and yelled, âHear
that, young man?â
âYou should drive carefully, not me.â The short-haired buyer was wearing a black mask and black
cap. His voice was dripping with disdain as he said, âAre you in a hurry to seek death? Why did you
drive so fast on a winding road?â
"Hey!" Jade flushed red in anger. She nearly gave him a slap, but Emma stopped her and frowned at
the buyer. âDonât be rude.â
âThat's right!â Afraid of offending Jade, the manager slapped the shortyâs head. âJust be careful!
Don't talk back to them...â
Before he could finish, the young man pinned him onto the chopping block. The huge and sharp
cleaver was right next to his neck.
The manager's eyes widened in fear.
âI'm a part-time employee, not your servant,â the young man said, glaring at him. âDonât order me
around!â
The manager's jaw hung wide as he trembled profusely without saying a word
Both Jade and Emma were stunned by the sudden turn of events. They finally snapped to their
senses after a moment and stepped forward to stop him. âHey, you...â
Before they could take action, the man pushed the manager away and used the cleaver to pick his
nails. âYou can leave now. Remember to drive carefully!â
