Chapter 439

Though Nell repeatedly told herself to not be bothered by it, she still kept hearing Evelyn’s remark echoing in her mind. A strange feeling continued haunting her.

At that point, she could not help but laugh at herself.

Was this unceasing suspicion one of the inherent flaws of human nature?

She turned to Nancy.

“Nancy, Let’s go back.”

Nancy nodded, she got into the driver seat and started the engine.

The car rode on the wide-open highway. Nell held her phone in her hand, but her thoughts drifted away.

Her phone suddenly rang with an abrupt “Ding”.

She looked at the phone and saw that there was a message.

A frown appeared on Nell’s face. When she saw the name of the sender, she decided she was not going to open the message.

Still, her fingertips hovered over the message. She ended up opening it after a moment of hesitation.

Gregory had sent a message, and its content was simple and elaborate. It was just a picture.

It was a blonde-haired foreigner in the picture. He had a full beard and a large scar that ran from his forehead down to his chin.

Judging by the angle in which the picture was taken, it was probably captured in secret.

The lighting and image quality was rather poor. Still, it was enough to be able to see the person’s appearance.

With a frown, she scrolled to the bottom.

There was a short sentence attached at the end.

[His name is Y. He’s a member of the Bauhinia Clan in charge of Lin City in Country F. He has the answer to Old K’s death if you can find him.]

Nell shook a little. She recalled the same Y that Evelyn spoke of, it should be the same person as the one inside the picture.

If that was the case, the truth would be revealed in no time.

Her eyes grew darker when she thought of this, her fingertip hovered over the sender’s details for a moment before tapping down.

The call was answered quickly, she heard Gregory’s voice with a hint of laughter coming from the other end.

“Little Seven, miss me already?”

Nell could not be bothered with this nonsense, she cut straight to the point, “Why are you helping me?”

The other party chuckled.

“Old K wasn’t just your friend, he’s my subordinate too. Since you are already in Country F, I’m not going to bother with making the trip myself. Still, I wouldn’t mind handing off info that I have.”

Nell scoffed, she inclined that this man was just gloating over their predicament.

“Where did this kindness come from?”

Gregory said with a faint smile, “Little Seven, do you see your brother as a heartless man? Besides, this is a rather effortless task. Perhaps you would have some appreciation for your brother, this way I can also appear to have great familial values, what’s not to love?”

Nell thought about it for a moment, it did seem like something he would do.

She replied with a scoff, “You sure are good at spotting golden opportunities.”

Gregory pretended he did not sense the sarcasm in her tone, he snickered and went on again, “Little Seven, if you were going to praise your brother for his diligence you should just do it directly. How am I supposed to hear your praise if you run in circles like this?”

He paused briefly. “Then again, as long as it comes from you, your brother is still greatly pleased. Even if you would like to think that your brother broke this information to you for his benefit, so be it. Whose fault is it that I’ve taken such a liking for our Little Seven?”

Nell felt herself tensing up, her face turned blue with anger.

This man always had a knack at riling people up with his casual, easy remarks.

She ground her teeth. “Gregory, I’m done wasting time with you!”

She hung up right away after that.

When they got to the hospital, Gideon had already returned from his checkup.

The patient room was extremely quiet. Matthew who was standing guard outside greeted her respectfully when he saw her.

Nell nodded in response, then she pushed open the door and saw Gideon reading a book on the bed.

His eyes darkened when he saw her. He put down the book and asked, “Where have you been?”

Nell did not shy away from the truth. She told him about her going to the villa to interrogate Evelyn, and also relayed the information Evelyn had given her.

She did still end up not telling him about the whole ordeal with Gregory, all she did was show Gideon the picture.

Provided the context of her interrogating Evelyn, Gideon would naturally assume that the picture was provided by Evelyn even without her stating it.

Just as she thought, Gideon did not pry further when he saw the picture, he only said, “I’ll have Matthew investigate this man right away.”

Nell nodded.

Despite being in a foreign country, Matthew’s efficiency as the primary aide was wholly unaffected.

Within an hour, he had the results.

He stood before the two of them and reported in a cool manner, “The man in this picture is called Sam, also known as Scarface. He runs the largest underground casino in Lin City.

“After a round of investigation, we were able to conclude that even though the casino appears to be founded by Scarface, the operation was inextricably connected with the Bauhinia Clan.

“If my hunch is correct. They should be serving as a crucial stronghold for the Bauhinia Clan in Lin City.”

Gideon nodded in response.

He pondered for a moment before speaking, “We can send someone over to survey first.”

However, Nell shook her head and rejected his proposal.

“I don’t trust anyone else with this task. All of our efforts will go up in smoke if we alarm them, I’d like to go myself.”

Spoiled by the President Chapter 438 Suit Yourself Gideon’s expression immediately darkened when he heard what she said.

“No, I don’t think so.”

Nell knew exactly what he was worried about, it was without a doubt concern for her and her baby.

She flashed a light smile and reassured him, “It’ll be fine, I’ll take Nancy with me, she can protect me. She will watch over me the entire way, everything will be fine.”

Nancy quickly reaffirmed him when she noted the situation, “Don’t worry sir, for as long as I am alive, I will make sure that nothing happens to Nelly.”

Gideon silently stared at her for a moment.

Nell was worried that he was going to shoot them down, she held his hand to further convince him, “Don’t overthink it. If you are that worried then you can assign two more people to go with me, but we can’t make it too obvious. We are in a foreign land, and the underground factions are far more complicated. Our presence has already been exposed, if we continue making a big show out of it, we are going to attract more unwanted attention.”

She did not need to remind Gideon of this factor, it had occurred to him a long time ago.

After a moment of silence, he turned to Matthew and instructed, “You are going with the Missus tomorrow.”

Matthew promptly nodded.

“Yes.”

The matter at hand was settled for now.

To not drag it out unnecessarily, Nell decided that they were going the very next afternoon.

The next day at 2:00 pm, the three of them drove to the entrance of the casino.

Speaking of which, the name of the casino was quite interesting. Despite being a casino operating in a foreign country, they gave it a Chinese name.
