"Mr. Mu, I've finished the investigation...with your father's help. Here's the report." Luke hesitated for a moment. Since Edward said he didn't want his father to intervene, Luke didn't ask Jonathan for help. However, Jonathan found out and offered the information to him. Luke wasn't sure whether Edward would accept that or not.
"Did you go to him for help?" Edward absently asked Luke while scanning through the report. Luke couldn't see any emotions on Edward's face and this made him nervous.
"No. He noticed what I've been working on and..." Luke knew Edward. He wouldn't ask for his father's help, no matter what. That was why he cared where the information came from.
"Nevermind if he insisted to help. He saved us a lot of time" Edward sneered and replied casually. While reading the report, he frowned at the findings. He had been wondering for a long time why Leo thought that Daisy wasn't his daughter. It turned out that there was a huge conspiracy against Daisy! Despite the rage he felt at this moment, Edward had to admit that he was impressed by how thoroughly the culprit had planned to harm Daisy.
Luke sighed in relief as he heard Edward's words. As long as Edward didn't blame him for accepting Jonathan's help, it would be fine. To be honest, Luke had no idea why Edward and Jonathan behaved like arch enemies instead of father and son. It seemed like they were ready for a duel every time they met.
"This report seems old. Did he acquire it a long time ago?" With his eyes still fixed on the report, Edward asked Luke again. He finally felt at ease when he noticed something in the document. Although he had guessed the answer, he needed a proof in black and white. Luckily he found the truth, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to face Daisy.
"Yes. father said he had The Mayfly look into it a long time ago. But the critical evidence was overturned by the direct party, so the investigation was suspended thereafter." Luke sincerely conveyed everything he had learned from Jonathan as he carefully observed Edward's look.
"Really? Even they couldn't find more evidence? How strange. So the case is unsolved till date?" Edward tossed the paper aside and leaned back with a sneer, 'Things are getting more and more interesting.' This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Not unless the direct party decides to stand out and testify." Luke agreed with a nod. Gazing at Edward with great interest, he wondered what Edward was going to do in the current situation. He had worked for Edward for years, and he understood what kind of person Edward really was. Edward was always excited to take up challenging tasks.
"Great. Then I'll have to meet this shameless woman." Edward casually fidgeted his pen while narrowing his eyes, his lips curled into a sneer again. 'Yakira, right? We're going to have so much fun!' Edward thought to himself.
Luke shuddered. He knew once Edward had that sneer on his face, someone was going to be in big trouble. He felt sorry for whoever that was. But since that person got the nerve to piss off Edward, he practically asked for it.
The most fascinating thing about the sun was that it not only gave away its light and warmth but also reflected how ugly a soul could be. Standing in front of three disciplinary inspectors, Daisy was in a state of trance. The moment she figured out why she was summoned, she frowned with a sneer. She realized that someone was desperate to pull her down. They couldn't wait to get her into trouble before the promotion was granted to her.
"Colonel Daisy Ouyang. We are investigating something and I'm afraid we are going to need your cooperation." One of the inspectors spoke sternly, having no apprehension about the fact that Daisy
had higher ranks than they did.
"Okay. What's the matter?" Daisy replied calmly. Although she was a bit nervous about what they were going to ask her, she didn't reveal her fear on her face. She believed she was innocent and there was nothing they could do to her.
"We've received an accusation, stating that you are having an unusual relationship with some CEO in the S City. Can you explain it?" The inspector continued with annoyance as if Daisy was a mistress who was trying to ruin a couple.
"I have unusual relationships with several CEOs in the S City. I wonder which are you referring to?" Daisy was telling the truth; she did have many friends who were CEOs. Edward for one, and then there were Duke and Belinda. Even Rain was a vice CEO. She really didn't know which CEO they were talking about.
"What? Colonel Ouyang, do you mean that you have affairs with a lot of CEOs?" The inspector got annoyed with Daisy's casual attitude. Being a colonel, how could she be so lewd and have no self- respect? No wonder someone reported her to them.
"I'm reminding you to be careful with your words. I do maintain unusual friendships with some people who happen to be CEOs, but not in the way you think. Don't apply your filthy thoughts on me." Daisy immediately retorted with her eyes wide open. She didn't care if they were disciplinary inspectors or not. She wouldn't stand there and let them insult her because of something she didn't do.
"Colonel Ouyang, we apologize for being rude. But I'm sure you know that we won't have summoned you here today without any solid evidence?" They thought Daisy was an easy target because she was a woman. However, awed by Daisy's aura, the inspectors became more polite.
"In that case, I'll cooperate with your investigation. I won't ask who reported me since I already know that you won't tell me. But I want to be clear, I didn't do anything to disgrace my uniform." Daisy's lips were slightly trembling out of rage. She had served the army for years, and it was the first time she was reported to have improper behavior. She wondered who reported her.
"Don't worry. We'll look into it. We'll clear your name if this turns out to be a false accusation. But if it's true, I believe you know what the consequences will be." Compared to their initial aggressive approach, the inspectors became more polite now.
