No Where To Run: Trapped With My Archenemy
Chapter 53 - No One Is Left To Live
UNEDITED- PLEASE WAIT FOR AN HOUR
By the time Wan Yi Jun reached the police headquarters, apart from Han Ze Min and Lao Yating, the rest of the eagle team members were already present in the office room.
It was quite a surprise for Bing Wen, who thought that Wan Yi Jun would have decided to take a break and rest for today. He never thought that his workaholic captain would return to the office in the night when the rest of the people might leave work and go home.
"This man is nuts," He muttered under his breath as he stood up from his chair to greet his superior officer.
Shen Junru, who was equally surprised to see Wan Yi Jun at the office, tilted his head and glanced at Bing Wen in confusion.
After two hours, Ming Yue woke Wan Yi Jun from his sleep, as per his request. Even though she has seen people working overtime, watching him returning to work without any proper rest was a bit shocking for her.
Especially since she was very much aware of his childhood and how he grew up as the young master of Wan family.
It was unbelievable for her to accept that Wan Yi Jun's career tremendously affected his conceited personality more than anything else.
Even though she could see some traces of the arrogant and aloof young master Wan in him, he has changed for good.
She couldn't help but wonder what happened to the eccentric germophobic millionaire boy in her memories.
"I think that's not necessary, miss Ming. The construction workers will come in the morning to finish the rest of the renovation. You can choose one room as you wish when the work is over." He reminded with a smile that she doesn't need to move a leg till the mansion gets renovated.
"Hmm, yes, master. I will take leave." She agreed without any protests. After all, she can't keep any spyware unless she knows about the rooms where Wan Yi Jun keeps his stuff.
"I'm not sure if I will be home tomorrow. Can you keep an eye on the workers? Last time they left in the middle of the work." Wan Yi Jun requested the girl who was about to leave his room.
"Hmm, I will check upon them, don't worry." She assured him with an enigmatic smile that hid her dark intentions regarding the destruction of the Wisteria gardens. She was sure that overseeing the mansion's renovation work was the best way to learn more about the secrets buried deep inside this compound.
"Ahhh...Miss Ming, please get ready. I will drop you at home." Wan Yi Jun offered when he suddenly remembered that he could give her a ride to the city.
"Yes, master."
When Wan Yi Jun came ready to leave, Ming Yue had already wrapped her work and waited for him next to the door, holding a carry bag.
Though he felt something amiss, he brushed it off and locked the mansion's door before moving towards his car.
"Master, where should I keep this?" Ming Yue extended the bag to the man, who looked at her with a pair of dubious eyes.
"Some dumplings and soup. I assume that there will be some facility to heat food in your office."
As soon as Wan Yi Jun heard her casual words, he couldn't help but look at her as if he saw some alien.
When was the last time someone packed food for him? In high school or middle school? Even he was not sure about it.
It wouldn't be a lie to say that she always maintained an upper hand over her opponents, especially over men. Every time she meets a strong enemy, she looks for their weaknesses and uses them as a weapon to destroy them. Or even worse, she let them annihilate themselves.
She planned the same for Wan Yi Jun, too.
Ming Yue searched for his weakness so that she could use it as a tool against him and escape in case of an emergency.
But her calculations went absolutely wrong while executing the plan in person. Unlike her previous opponents, it wasn't so easy to play mind games with Wan Yi Jun, who retaliated with the same methods to keep her under check.
And the belated realization of finding out his weakness only comes at the expense of sharing her damned secrets forced her to make a decision.
Either to confide or to leave the mansion,
So she took the last weapon she could use on Wan Yi Jun to stop him from looking for her past- To emotionally manipulate her naive and caring master,
"If you want me to leave the house, I will do it right away, master." Ming Yue repeated in a voice so mellow yet sharp.
It was like two birds with a single shot.
"Miss Ming, thank you...but...I...I don't normally eat dinner."
To be honest, Wan Yi Jun didn't even know how to react to her generous actions. He had already told her not to prepare any dinner, didn't he? Then what's with this huge bag full of food?
"It's not dinner, master. It's more like a snack. Don't worry, I have packed more. You can eat it with your colleagues." Ming Yue said as if it was no big deal.
"Hmm, thanks." Wan Yi Jun took the bag from her and carefully placed it in the back seat. "Please, get in."
She asked about his cars.
"Is this your favourite car? The one you always uses?" She inquired with childlike innocence.
"I don't have favourites, miss Ming, but yeah...This is one I'm using nowadays."
"Does that mean you have other cars?" Ming Yue probed more as if she was very much interested in automobiles.
"Hmm, I have a few cars. But it is kept somewhere else, with someone who could use it more than me."
"Do you know how to drive?"
"No."
"Do you want to learn?"
"Are you trying to send me to a driving school, now?"
"Haha, no. If you are interested, I can teach you."
"Says someone who doesn't have time to have food or to write an employment contract."
"I want to ask you earlier too. Why are you living in the outskirts?"
"It's my home."
" With your money and influence, you could have stayed somewhere within the city itself? Somewhere, a bit populated?"
"Are you bothered about the location of the mansion, or are you worried that you will be staying in a place somewhat haunted and spooky?"
"No. Not at all. I was just curious. Usually, people tend to live somewhere every necessity is easily available."
"Do you believe in ghost's or any supernatural beings, miss Ming?"
"I don't believe unless I see one."
"Good. because that it is a place where hundreds of people got murdered, especially in the vicinities of the wisteria gardens."
Well, Wan Yi Jun's demeanour looked much better than before as if he took some effort to groom himself into a 'human'
"Captian, why are you here? I thought you went home?" Shen Junru asked in a surprised tone.
"Yes, I went home. Take this,"
"What's it?"
"Some dumplings and soup."
"You made it?"
"Leave some for others, too."
"Ahhh...they are one the way."
"Got any leads?"
"Some dumplings and soup." Wan Yi Jun replied while trying to hide his reddened face from his teammates. Though he has brought meals for his teammates, it was the first time he brought some food from home. "Eat it before it gets cold,"
"No...It's just a waste of time. We got nothing from Shu Li Li's apartment except her laptop. No journals, no photographs or anything that would give us some insight into her life. It is just a blank slate."
"That's weird. Nobody leaves a blank slate unless they have something to hide."
"What about her social media accounts? She is a growing model, right? So she might have posted something on her SNS accounts."
"Can you check into it?"
"This looks more like a professional account more than a personal one."
"We do have Shu Li Li's phone with us, right?"
"It's a normal basic model, not a smartphone."
"She is a weird person. Who lives without a smartphone, nowadays? Even old people have at least a landline at their homes. We can't live without technology."
"There are people who still can't afford these technologies, Xiao Bing."
"It's crazy how some people just switch to basic phones to get over their addiction, and on other hand, there are people who can't even afford it."
"Anyway, try to crack down the password and look into any helpful stuff."
"Also, check the call details of Shu Lili for the last six months."
"What about the model whom Miss Feng mentioned earlier, a senior from her agency?"
"We have informed her, she will be here in a couple of moments."
"Where did you get these dumplings? It's so tasty."
"Captain Wan brought it from home? Apparently, he got a new cook. It's a shame that we won't be able to eat it."
"Oh, isn't it the same person whom Chief Wu sent for captain's help? Whoa, it seems like their relationship is even thicker than blood."
"Excuse me,
"Lanlan, why are you here?"
By the time Wan Yi Jun reached the police headquarters, apart from Han Ze Min and Lao Yating, the rest of the eagle team members were already present in the office room.
