Chapter 1088: It’s For Your Missing Girlfriend, Gu Yang, Right?

Editor: Henyee Translations

Falling Rice was Ruan Meng.

After suffering at Ruan Meng’s hands, Tally’s brother, Devon, became intrigued by the perfume Ruan Meng used and decided to investigate its source. Eventually, he discovered that it was made by Gu Yang.

By then, they had learned that Gu Yang was the daughter of the Xiao family. Gu Yang and her brother, Xiao Yize, had a long history of conflicts with Devon, leading him to abandon any plans to buy the perfume from her.

When Devon arrived, he immediately noticed the lingering scent of the perfume in the air.

He spoke fluently in Mandarin, “Chief, Tally is young and mischievous. Please forgive her for any offense. However, I believe there has been a misunderstanding. No outsiders have visited our manor recently. How could a traitor of Lord be hiding here?”

Feng Jue exchanged glances with the hall master beside him.

The hall master pulled out his phone and played the surveillance footage. “Young Master Devon, we have the evidence for our visit to Katie Manor. This footage shows the roads surrounding the manor, revealing just how the traitor managed to infiltrate.”

“That traitor is a remnant of the former Chief Dulong’s subordinates. He stole trade secrets worth five billion dollars from our Lord Organization and is ruthless in his methods. Our search is not only to recover Lord’s losses but also for your safety.”

Tally sneered. “Do you think you can search the Katie family manor just because you want to? While Lord may be powerful, not everyone can bully our Katie family. Without a search warrant, no one is allowed to enter the manor today!”

“Search warrant? Show it to her,” Feng Jue replied lightly.

The hall master smiled as he produced a search warrant with an official seal. “This is a search warrant personally approved by the mayor of Great Apple City. There are also officials accompanying us from the mayor’s office. Miss Tally, Young Master Devon, may we proceed with the search?”

“Or could it be that the traitor is indeed hiding within the Katie family, and that the theft of Lord’s business secrets was instigated by you? If that’s the case, don’t blame our Lord Organization for turning against your family.”

Tally’s expression shifted when she saw the search warrant. She cursed softly and looked to Devon for assistance.

Devon hadn’t expected Lord to secure a search warrant so quickly. If not for the familiar scent of the perfume earlier, he might have believed that the Lord Organization was genuinely here to find the traitor.

At that moment, his assistant approached and whispered in his ear.

Devon turned to Feng Jue. “Feng Jue, let’s skip the formalities. Your Lord didn’t come to search Katie Manor for a traitor; you’re here for your missing girlfriend, Gu Yang, aren’t you?”

“But I can swear to God that Gu Yang’s disappearance has nothing to do with our Katie family. Instead of wasting time here, why don’t we–”

Suddenly, Feng Jue drew his pistol and aimed it at Devon’s forehead.

Devon’s voice faltered as he met Feng Jue’s bottomless black eyes, feeling the unmistakable killing intent radiating from him.

In an attempt to protect Devon, the Katie family’s bodyguards raised their pistols and aimed them at Feng Jue.

But just then, a group of mercenaries clad in Lord’s uniforms emerged from the dense crowd of Lord members behind Feng Jue. They swiftly aimed their weapons at the Katie family’s bodyguards, brandishing rifles, miniguns, and grenade launchers.

In comparison, the Katie family’s defenses seemed much weaker.
