"Shut up!" Moses shouted at her, his gaze sweeping over Paul, who was about to speak, but Paul swallowed his words abruptly, "Take her to the room!"
The bodyguards rushed forward, pointing their guns at Gan Yuan.
Turning around and looking into Moses’s face, Gan Yuan took a deep breath.
"Moses, if you dare to harm a hair on their heads, I’ll kill you myself!"
She kicked the bodyguard in front of her away and strode back to the study, slamming the door shut forcefully.
"Keep an eye on her, and if you let her get away, you’ll jump down from the upper floor."
Moses ordered coldly.
The four bodyguards felt a chill run down their spines, and hurried into the study to watch Gan Yuan.
"Sir!" Jessica rushed over, "You..."
Before she could finish speaking, Moses had already raised his hand and slapped her across the face ferociously.
"Dare to tell her even one more word, and I’ll be the first to kill you!"
He glanced sideways, angrily looking at Paul, who was holding Jessica.
"Same goes for you," he took a deep breath, suppressing the pain in his left chest, "Arrange the plane, now!"
Paul helped Jessica up, and they both carefully observed his expression, knowing that the man was on the verge of rage and neither dared to utter another word.
Supporting Jessica, Paul cautiously stepped outside the door.
Inside the living room, Moses turned around wearily and sat heavily on the sofa, glancing at his right palm that was still bleeding. He fished a pill out of his pocket, stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed hard, and slowly exhaled.
After a moment, he stood up again.
Striding over, he opened the door to the study, and Moses squinted his dark eyes at Gan Yuan, who was standing by the window.
"Pack your things, and go to the airport immediately."
A few bodyguards responded at once and set into motion.
One watched Gan Yuan, while the other three began to collect the documents and materials on the table.
Moses walked over to her side, "Don’t play any tricks with me, you know... I always mean what I say!"
Gan Yuan stared out the window into the night, her lips tightly sealed, remaining silent.
The black car stopped at the foot of the steps, and the butler got out to open the door for Huangfu Jue.
Huangfu Jue got out of the car and immediately asked.
"Is the young lady alright?"
"She had urgent business and went out," replied the butler.
"What business?" Huangfu Jue halted in his steps, "Where did she go?"
It was late, and she had gone out in a hurry, Huangfu Jue couldn’t help but worry.
"She said there was an emergency at the hotel and needed to go there. I wanted to arrange for a bodyguard to escort her, but the young lady declined and went by car herself."
Huangfu Jue furrowed his brows and immediately extended his hand to Will.
Will hurriedly handed over the phone, and Huangfu Jue quickly dialed Gan Yuan’s number.
The phone indicated that it was temporarily unavailable.
He frowned and then called her office.
This time, the call went through successfully, and Helen answered.
"Duke, is something the matter?"
"I’m looking for Ayuan."
"The manager?" Helen sounded puzzled, "Isn’t she resting at home?"
Feeling an ominous premonition, Huangfu Jue got back into the car.
"Quick... to the hotel!"
"Duke?" Helen’s voice came again, "Is there some kind of problem?"
"Immediately ask the front desk if they’ve seen her at the hotel, and also check with the parking lot. Let me know as soon as there’s any news; I’m on my way there," ordered Huangfu Jue, looking up, "Drive!"
The car turned around and sped off towards the Duke Hotel.
