The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 131 The Search

Queeny's response was too unusual that the others turned to look at her.

Chance frowned. He could not help but doubt her," Queeny, did you do anything to Susie?”

"What could I do to her?” Queeny forced herself to stay calm.

"Then why are you so nervous about it?" Chance stared at her.

"I..." Queeny stammered. Then, she replied, "I’m just worried about Susie!”

"You’re worried about Susie. Who would believe you?" Chance could not help but ask her.

All of them turned to look at Queeny.

Previously, a lot of people witnessed the quarrel between Queeny and Susan.

In fact, no one would believe Queeny if she claimed that she was worried about Susan.

Did Queeny indeed do something to Susan?

Queeny appeared rather nervous as she realized that the others were looking at her suspiciously.

She could not help but say loudly, "Why are you looking at me like that? I did nothing!”

"You know very well whether you're guilty or not." Chance said angrily. He went toward her and grabbed her arm. "You better tell the truth. What did you do to Susan?"

"I...I did nothing." Queeny was reluctant to admit to it.

"How come you still refuse to admit it? Queeny, tell us where Susie is immediately. It's a human life," Chance said.

"I really have no idea about it!" Queeny was slightly desperate.

When Queeny was being interrogated by the others, one of the leaders had reported the event to the superiors.

It was indeed a human life. He dared not treat it as a trivial matter.

At that particular moment, both Julian and Luke were sitting there, discussing their works.

On the other hand, Charlotte was sitting beside them. She remained quiet as she was busy looking at Julian passionately.

"Chairman Jenkins, Chairman Shaw." Suddenly, somebody knocked on the door.

"Come in," Luke said.

That man entered and said anxiously, "Chairman Jenkins, Chairman Shaw, there's been an accident. W e teamed up and went for an expedition to the cave just now, but somebody lagged behind accidentally. Now, we can’t locate where she is! We must get more people to go and search for her. If not, she might be in great danger."

"Was she lost in the cave? In one of those caves?" Luke was shocked. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Yes."

Luke realized immediately how serious the issue was. He said immediately, “Go and gather everybody this instant and look for her! But it snowed just now, and the mountain paths are covered in snow. People from the outside can’t possibly make it here anytime soon. S o we can only rely on the strength of the hundred people here! Quick, go and gather everyone now."

"Alright." He turned to go and gather the others.

Suddenly, Luke asked him, ’’What’s the name of the person who's lost?"

"Her name seems to be Susan!"

“Susan!" At first, both Luke and Julian were calm. Now, their facial expressions changed drastically.

That man was shocked by their reactions. He asked weakly, "What’s... wrong?"

Julian walked toward him with a darkened facial expression. "Where's the cave?"

He appeared so frightening that the man could not bring himself to say anything in fright.

"Tell me!" Julian became much colder and ferocious.

Before he could reply, Luke stood up directly. "I know where the cave is. I'll go with you."

Charlotte seemed slightly guilty as she averted her gaze. She stood up too. "I'm coming with you."

Soon, they reached the mouth of the cave. Now, there were quite a number of people waiting.

"Say something! What did you do to Susie?" Chance was still interrogating Queeny.

Julian walked over to them and looked at Queeny coldly. "What happened?"

Before Queeny managed to say anything, Chance grabbed onto that chance and spoke first, "Mr. Shaw, her reaction was unusual when she heard that Susie had gone missing. Moreover, she had just quarreled with Susie this morning. She must have done something to her."

"I...I didn't." Queeny said nervously.

"It must be her," Chance said angrily.

Julian turned to look at Queeny ferociously. "I'm giving you one last chance. Tell me now. What did you do to Susan?"

"I..." Queeny did not dare to meet Julian's eyes.

Julian sneered. "You have the right to remain silent, but if Susan is hurt even the tiniest bit, I’ll certainly make you pay a high price for it! If Susan's life is endangered, I'll ask you to pay with your life! You can give it a try to see whether I'm able to do that to you!"

Julian was threatening Queeny fearfully.

Queeny was indeed frightened.

"Tell the truth now." Julian appeared ferocious.

Queeny was absolutely stunned.

She said rather desperately, "Mr. Shaw, I didn’t intend t o endanger her life. I was just joking with her. I drugged her in the cave. But she fainted just beside the mural. We should be able to find her if we go back there and look for her. I also don’t know why she's no longer there after we went and looked for her there just now."

"A joke! How could you say it's a joke since you drugged her?" Luke walked toward her angrily.

"I..." Queeny's facial expression changed gradually.

"Are you sure that you're not hiding anything more from us?" Julian looked at her.

"Mr. Shaw, I really have no idea where she went," Queeny said anxiously. "I was with the others all the time. How was I supposed to move her to another place? Maybe...she woke up and wandered away."

"Mr. Shaw, she might be telling the truth. It's possible that she drugged Susan, but it's impossible for her to move Susan to another place," someone else said.

Julian looked at Queeny gloomily. "Lock her up first.

The rest of you, get yourselves ready. We're going into the cave to look for her!" i

Queeny paled as she was dragged away.

Charlotte averted her gaze. She said, "The paths here i n the caves are difficult to remember and recognize. Looking for her is urgent business, but it's not advisable if more people go missing after we go and search for her. Please remember to bring some bioluminescent powder with you. Mark your way along the caves. Besides, you must leave the cave after half an hour. Then you can rest for around ten minutes here before you go back in and..."

Charlotte was still giving out orders when Luke and Jenkins walked into the cave directly after they each grabbed themselves a bag of bioluminescent powder. 2

The others were slightly stunned to see their superiors being so impatient.

It was slightly understandable for Julian to be nervous about it. As rumor had it, there was some kind of unknown relationship between Julian and Susan.

However, Luke was married. Why did he appear so anxious about his ex-girlfriend?

The others' facial expressions changed inevitably.

Charlotte smiled faintly. After that, she said, "Fine. You can go and search for her now. But remember to take care of your own safety too."

They did not need a reminder from Charlotte.

Certainly, everyone cared more about their safety compared to looking for Susan.

The search for Susan commenced. Inside the caves, there were different junctions and paths. They soon met with another junction after only taking a few steps. One after another, they met a lot of junctions. Hundreds of people were scattered in the caves. It seemed like a droplet of water had fallen onto the lake, and it was soon engulfed by the lake.
