Chapter 1325 Deadlock

Vivi’s sudden death and the unfounded accusations and curses from Internet users left Janet in a state

of unprecedented depression.

Knowing that Janet was in a bad place, Brandon didn’t say much. He decided to hold her tightly and

stay by her side. Both of them were aware of the imminent danger that was waiting for them at every

corner.

They felt like helpless preys targeted by a vicious predator.

The White family and Brandon’s subordinates were all efficient. Within one night of investigation, they

managed to investigate Vivi’s accident, digging for all the details they could find. The news was

disappointing nonetheless.

On the day of Vivi’s car accident, the car she was driving was actually a new purchase. That same

afternoon, she bought it from an unlicensed dealer. She wasn’t the first owner of the car which turned

out to be illegal too. With the dash cam damaged, no evidence of what had happened during the crash

was left. In addition, there were no security cameras where the car was parked before it was sold. It

was impossible to know if anyone had tampered with the vehicle. The only clue they had was footage

from a surveillance camera that caught Vivi’s car before her accident.

But it was far from the exact site and when she passed, Vivi’s car showed no signs of deceleration. She

didn’t even change her lane before colliding straight into the nearby roadside.

Considering the driving conditions at the time and how a human would normally react during an

emergency, there were only two possibilities: either the car had malfunctioned or the driver wasn’t in a

prime driving condition.

As they studied the evidence, Janet and Brandon grew more certain that what had happened wasn’t an

accident.

Everything that had happened until now was all linked to a bigger conspiracy. One that was done

almost flawlessly.

“I’m afraid this entire incident was really aimed at us,” Brandon said. His voice was low but it

reverberated in the room. With his eyebrows knitted, he watched the surveillance footage of the

accident. “That time when Vivi pleaded for forgiveness at the hospital entrance was likely a part of their

plan.”

Janet was still pondering every detail they knew, but she nodded. Finally, she said, “We had just arrived

at the hospital when Vivi appeared back then. The timing seemed too perfect. She must have known

our schedule beforehand.

Some resourceful person must be supplying her with the information.”

Brandon considered her words and everything else. He was lost in thought for a while before he added,

“Moreover, Vivi even brought someone along to live- stream the incident. I thought it was just one of

her accomplices, but after what had happened, I’m certain a mastermind planned it all. That person

was probably sent to assist Vivi.

“The enemy is hiding really well. We, on the other hand, are in plain sight,”

Janet said. A grim expression settled on her face. “The live stream at that time wasn’t so Vivi would

gain the users “sympathy. It was part of a bigger plan. The mastermind wanted the users to suspect

me, with the live stream as their basis.”

“That should be the case,” Brandon agreed. “They used these two events to provoke the users’

emotions. They want to direct the target toward you. Furthermore…”

Janet’s eyes were calm as she said, “Furthermore, visit ninjanovel.com as your wife and the daughter

of the White family, the stocks of the Larson Group and my family’s company will surely be affected by

this.” Janet’s gaze turned cold in an instant. “What a clever way to kill three birds with one stone.”

Brandon looked down at the file his subordinates brought. He examined the evidence once more. After

a while, he frowned and said, “What’s even more cunning is that Vivi, for fear of media harassment or

our retaliation, chose a route without surveillance cameras when she left the hospital. There’s no way

to find out where she went or whom she met after she left.”

Janet’s gaze landed on the documents as well. She studied each of them as carefully as she had just

several moments ago. And just like earlier, she came out empty-handed.

A raging headache was brewing in her temples. She rubbed them while saying, “The people behind it

had spent a long time calculating all this. So far, every step they took was perfect. They want us to go

through mountains to find clues.”

“Let’s start investigating by other means,” Brandon suggested. “With how meticulous they were, I doubt

we’ll find anything from the car accident. Let’s begin by looking into the people that Vivi had any kind of

contact with recently. We’ll investigate everyone we can, including her colleagues, friends, and even

strangers she may have spoken to.”
