"The Red Mansion has been shut down?" Elliana Lyle glanced at the headline and found it unbelievable.
Luna clicked her tongue twice and said sowhat reluctantly, "There was a surprise inspection last midnight, and there’s a lot of shady stuff going on in there."
The part of the article that caught her attention the most was that anyone who tried to escape would have their tongue cut off.
The Red Mansion had a total of 187 female staff mbers, so glamorous, so ravaged beyond recognition.
So... could Nancy be among them too!
As she continued reading, she saw a picture of a notebook, a leather-bound notebook referred to as the V Notebook.
The letter V, she seed to have seen many ’V’s before.
The article stated that this notebook recorded many people’s nas, everyone who had ever been to the Red Mansion was listed.
The Red Mansion had a basent, almost like an underground building, fully equipped, and lavishly decorated.
The entrance was beneath an inconspicuous floorboard.
Below the floorboard, they usually placed solid materials, making it hard to detect from the outside; it was indeed very secretive.
Luna saw she had read enough and snatched the phone back, saying, "There’s no follow-up yet, this news won’t hit the trending list, it’s pretty niche. It was actually Norman Bennett who shared it in the group."
Otherwise, she herself might not have even known.
Even the residents near the Red Mansion knew very little.
The incident left a bad impression, and they wanted to control it as much as possible.
Elliana said, "Luna, that notebook has a list of nas."
"I know, but so what? I can’t go take it out."
So things, Luna knew better than to ss with.
Elliana understood as well, rubbing her aching head, then said, "Luna, don’t go back to XRB for now, stay and wait for Galen Collins’ results."
After all, it’s Galen, he’s reliable.
With what happened now, it must be the beginning, and before long, there will be action.
The list is sothing Galen would have the authority to know about, just need to wait a bit longer.
Then she charged her phone, and only a few seconds after turning it on, a call ca in from an unfamiliar number.
She answered.
"Hello, is this Elliana?"
This voice, it sounded like Aunt Claire Hue’s voice.
Once confird, she said, "Yes, Aunt, did Grandma wake up?"
"No, she just ca out of the operating room last night. I thought it was too late to call you. The doctor said she should wake up within one to two weeks for the operation to be considered successful. If not, it could be dangerous." Claire Hue’s tone was worried, with a touch of helplessness.
She must have stayed up all night watching over Grandma, and was exhausted.
Before she could speak, Claire Hue continued, "If you have ti, co and see her. Your elder and second aunts have already gone ho because they couldn’t stay up any longer. Now it’s just and your aunt-in-law at the hospital."
"Okay, I’m in Moonlake right now, I’ll be there in about two hours," she said, unplugging the charger and getting up to go to the wardrobe to pick out clothes.
Seeing this, Luna quickly went to help, picking out so clothes for her and also fetching a pair of thermal pants.
On the other end of the line, "Alright, we’ll wait for you, and we can have a al together when you arrive."
"Alright, Aunt, I’ll hang up now, see you in a bit."
"Okay, bye-bye."
After hanging up, she hurriedly reconnected her phone, which had only one percent of battery left, to the charger.
Luna shook the thermal pants and said, "By the looks of it, is your period due? Wear sothing thicker, otherwise, I’m really afraid you’ll suddenly collapse."
With that, she even brought out a pair of thick socks for her.
She didn’t refuse, genuinely feeling weak, and there’s air conditioning in the hospital, so wearing more wouldn’t make her too warm.
"Why don’t you wear a hat?" Luna pulled out a fuzzy bucket hat and asked her.
Elliana: "..."
It’s still too early for winter; there’s no need for that.
