The Villain’s Wife 439 A Very Important Cargo
"What did she do this ti?" Zhou Jingren asked, his face cold as his eyes landed at Bei Tian.
"Surprisingly, she attempted to install sothing on your laptop. At first... we didn’t have any idea how she could get inside your office. Until... we trace a login from Lily’s office. It was a remote login that gave her access to your personal elevator. I called Yang Mi and told her about it."
"And?"
"She caught one of the secretaries that worked under her. She interrogated the woman and... she was a spy from Qi Xia. She had been staying in the company for months and no one could detect her. It was because she’s good with computers. Yang Mi is still interrogating the poor woman now." Bei Tian ended his words with a sigh. "About Yu Yan..."
"Hmmm?" Zhou Jingren started typing on the laptop in front of him. "You caught her, right?"
"Yes, we did, but that is not what I want to tell you."
"Are you sorry for giving her a chance?"
Another sigh left Bei Tian’s mouth. "I am. I really thought that after what happened she would stop being stupid. I guess I am wrong."
"You are."
"Just as you expected, she also went to see Zhou Kang and did not heed my warnings. I guess I lost another bet?"
"Stupid people like her are so easy to read. You shouldn’t have made a bet with ." Zhou Jingren’s lips curl into a sinister smile. "Now... I get to decide what will happen to her."
Bei Tian clenched his jaw as he nodded. He used to wonder if Zhou Jingren was really indifferent to a person who practically grew up with them. Now, he finally got his answer.
"Bring her to the base. I don’t want mistakes this ti, Tian. I don’t want the past to bite us in the future."
"I understand." Bei Tian nodded. "Also... I think your suspicion about Jack has bases now." He gave him a tablet. "We found photos of him at the port two days before the accident. They deleted everything else. The travel logs, CCTV’s, money withdrawals. Everything other than that picture was deleted."
"So you say... that everything about his trip in Hongkong was deleted except this photo?"
"You are right. My guess is... It was Qin Yuanfeng who helped him this ti. He was working under him right?"
Zhou Jingren narrowed his eyes as he zood in on the photo. Jack was wearing a black suit as he walked near a cargo ship. He was talking on his phone while his other hand was in his pockets. "No..." he shook his head, his heartbeat raced. "Qin Yuanfeng was helping us... not him."
"What?" Bei Tian frowned.
"He deleted everything else aside from this photo to show us that Jack was in Hongkong around the ti that Lily disappeared." Zhou Jingren suddenly rose from his seat and strode out of his office.
"Where are we going?" Bei Tian hastened his steps to catch up to his friend. "What is going on?"
"I am going to see Cathy." Zhou Jingren answered. "Tell her about Jack and my suspicions."
"I thought you are afraid that she will side with him?"
"Cathy will always side with Lily." Zhou Jingren said as they enter the elevator. "She already doubts . I know she is just waiting for to make a wrong move before she intervenes. I can’t give her that."
Bei Tian turned silent as he followed Zhou Jingren in the car. In weeks this was the first ti that he saw Zhou Jingren this... enthusiastic. Bei Tian could not help but wonder if Zhou Jingren was starting to doubt his previous claims. Was he slowly losing hope? Is that the reason why the image seed to give him the hope that he needed?
........................
"Now... Why the hell would Jack take her?" Cathy arched an eyebrow at Zhou Jingren.
"For now... I can’t answer that question. But... this shows that he was here at the ti."
Cathy looked at the image and eyed Mr. Rossi who was sitting beside her. "All right... what do you need?" she asked. Her answered imdiately made Zhou Jingren froze. He gave her a wary looked. Seeing this, Cathy let out another sigh and gestured towards Mr. Rossi. "You tell him."
"No... why does it have to be ?" Mr. Rossi shook his head. "You tell him."
"Tell what?" Zhou Jingren tensed. "Are you hiding sothing important?"
"Well... it is not that hard to trace a cargo with a lot of dical pieces of equipnt." Cathy started. "A few days ago... I traced one shipnt from Malaysia to Hongkong with a lot of dical equipnt. This was around a week before Lily’s accident. Seeing that it was from the Arison Company, I just shrugged it off and told Mr. Rossi about it a couple of days ago."
"So you thought they use that to transport Lily back to Europe?" Bei Tian chid in.
"Well... now that Zhou Jingren showed an image of Jack in the port around the ti then... it is very possible that it was indeed used to transport Lily." Mr. Rossi answered as he went back to his desk and called soone. They are currently in Facci Group’s building as both Mr. Rossi and Cathy are busy running the company. After a few minutes, Mr. Rossi’s secretary ca inside and handed him a folder.
"These contain the dical equipnt that was transported around that ti. All illegal and legal shipnts included. The one that was ntioned before stayed in Hong Kong for a few days, then left three days before the accident. Aside from that... two more ships left the harbor of Hongkong after the accident. One of them could be transporting Lily." He handed the folder to Zhou Jingren.
"At first... we thought nothing of it. This was because sothing like this had always been a part of the Arison’s business. Transporting dical equipnt and selling them to the black market is not sothing new. However... Jack is a very careful man. He does not involve himself in any shipnts. He always had his right-hand man, handle it for him." Cathy explained. "The only ti where he would show himself is if they are transporting a very important cargo."
"Just like Lily." Bei Tian said, his voice low. In response, Cathy nodded.
"Indeed... Just like Lily."
