In the car, Will sat in the back seat, pinching a cross in his right hand.
Facing the sunlight, he stared at the cross glowing under the sun, stuffed his phone back into his pocket, and revealed a smile on his lips.
He had originally thought that this cross might not necessarily be something important to her; everything just now was merely a probe, and he hadn’t held out much hope.
Unexpectedly, that girl had arrived at the bar so quickly, which completely exceeded Will’s expectations.
From this, it was not difficult to see that the pendant was extremely important to Jessica. With this item in hand, he could easily control Jessica, making future meetings with Miss Gan much easier for the gentleman.
"Mr. Will, your wrist... seems to be injured."
The bodyguard driving the car noticed the dark red marks on his wrist and asked with concern.
"Nothing of the sort!" Will retracted his hand into his sleeve, "Just a small accident."
Being tied to a chair by a woman for hours, if he talked about it, wouldn’t it become a laughingstock for these guys? He certainly did not want to mention it to anyone.
The car quickly returned to the hotel where Huangfu Jue was staying. Will went to his room, took a quick shower, and changed into a new set of clothes.
Standing in front of the mirror, he adjusted his appearance, glanced at the scab on his lip from the side, and then turned his head to check his ear.
Although the ear was not damaged, there was a clear, dark red bite mark, which was also not light.
Was that damn girl a member of the canine family, enjoying biting people so much?
He tugged at his shirt sleeve, covering his wrist tightly, and walked out of his room with resignation.
He couldn’t hide the wound on his face and just hoped the gentleman wouldn’t ask about it.
Seeing him return safely, Huangfu Jue’s worries finally faded.
"That girl..." Will shrugged nonchalantly, "A bit troublesome, but rest assured, I’ve now found a way to control her. Whenever you need, I can take her away from Miss Gan’s side at any time."
Noticing that Huangfu Jue’s gaze fell on his face, he quickly changed the subject.
"They said Qian Xueying has arrived?"
"I called you back precisely for this matter." Huangfu Jue motioned with his hand for the bodyguards to leave, stood up, and walked around the table to stand before Will, "Ayuan has found some evidence that can prove that Duke Locke’s situation is entirely Qian Xueying’s doing."
"Qian Xueying? That’s unexpected."
Will looked genuinely surprised. The girl who appeared so innocent and harmless was the one who caused Duke Locke to end up ?
"Indeed!" Huangfu Jue crossed his arms, "I underestimated her before. It seems that her coming to F Country this time might also have another purpose."
Will immediately understood, "Right away, sir. I’m on it."
Huangfu Jue nodded and added as Will turned to leave, "Go eat something first."
Bowing to him, Will stepped out of the room and immediately arranged the tasks for his subordinates.
His men acted promptly, gathering information on Qian Xueying. He returned to his room and ordered some lunch over the phone.
While waiting for his lunch to arrive, Will took out the cross again, placed it in the desk drawer, then thought better of it.
That girl knew which room he was staying in; if she came over and stole the object, all his efforts would be in vain. It was safer to keep it on his person.
