Chapter 351: 351 Night Raid (Part 2)

"Hmm."

Responding plainly, Lei Nade looked at his secretary and asked suspiciously:

"What did you go do? It was just a matter of giving an order, why did it take so long?"

"The person on duty over there was asleep and couldn't be woken up no matter how much I shouted, so it took a bit more time. I was also startled by a wild cat on the way, sorry..."

After answering vaguely, "Mark" walked back to his desk with heavy steps and continued to review the documents he hadn't finished reviewing.

And Lei Nade, who sat back at the table, suddenly felt a burst of back pain after looking at the white sky, couldn't help but yawn, and then waved his hand with a tired face:

"Don't do it anymore, let's stop here today, I'm going to rest.

Tomorrow afternoon, we still have to meet the president of the Capital Chamber of Commerce to discuss imposing an additional monopoly tax on those big companies headed by Charle Department Store. You should also go to the side room and lie down for a while, don't miss the business tomorrow!"

"Okay."

Hearing Lei Nade's words, the secretary stood up in response, followed him step by step, left the office, and walked into the slightly dim corridor.

As the two entered the corridor one after another, under the cold gaze of portraits on both sides, their shadows were pulled longer and longer by the lights behind them, and the secretary "Mark's" footsteps also got closer and closer. His shadow gradually covered Lei Nade's head, almost wrapping him up completely.

"By the way, what happened to that woman in the Precious Flower Manor?"

Seeming a bit unaccustomed to the silence of the talkative secretary along the way, Lei Nade asked actively with some discomfort:

"Is she still living in the garden?"

"..."

Hearing Lei Nade's inquiry, "Mark's" shadow paused slightly, no longer stretching, but gave a soft 'hmm' and said:

"Yes, she is still living in the small wooden house in the corner of the garden with your daughter."

Your daughter...

"Shut up! Don't mention that monster! She is not my daughter either!"

Lei Nade's body paused fiercely upon hearing this, stopped his footsteps and turned his head, looking at him with annoyance:

"Damn it! I clearly drowned that monster long ago! But she... Mark!!! How dare you? How dare you mention this in front of me?!!!"

"Sorry! Hou Jue, sorry! I misspoke!"

Scared awake by Lei Nade's sudden rage, the secretary, who knew he had misspoke, hurriedly slapped himself hard, pulled himself out of the incoherent, half-asleep state, and shook like chaff:

"I... I just... just now I might have been too sleepy... Hou Jue... I... I..."

"Enough, shut your mouth for me!"

After glaring at his secretary with disgust, Lei Nade calculated to find an excuse to drive him away tomorrow, and said coldly:

"Considering that you accompanied me to work until late at night and your brain is not very clear, I will let it go this time, but if I hear you mention a word again, then don't blame me!"

"I... I remember, Hou Jue, I remember!"

After humming angrily, Lei Nade, who had opened the topic, simply continued to ask:

"I let you go to clean up the manor, did she see it? If she saw it, did she say anything?"

"She... should have seen it."

After his eyes flickered slightly, "Mark" answered:

"But she didn't say anything, nor did she go to stop it, just picked up the family crest of the Precious Flower family from the garbage dump in front of the main building."

"Is that so... Heh."

Lei Nade sneered with disdain:

"After that incident back then, I actually saw her twice more. At that time, the look in that woman's eyes when she looked at me was like looking at a dead person, which made me worry for a long time.

But now... hehe, it seems that the Cleaning Bureau's restraint on her is much stronger than I thought. She didn't even dare to stand up and stop it. The last Precious Flower... that's all."

"Cleaning Bureau? What kind of place is that?"

"That is... a mysterious department under the Police Department."

After glancing at the curious secretary behind him, Lei Nade was a bit annoyed at why he had been quick-tongued and mentioned this dangerous organization, but after thinking about it, he explained with a hint of fear in his eyes:

"They have some unusual abilities, can do some things that ordinary people can't do, and are responsible for handling some cases with special circumstances, etc., but the conditions for joining are extremely harsh. Most people haven't even heard of them, and even if they hear it, they will soon forget it.

I can know of their existence because that woman was chosen by them, so they also gave me something called a 'Word Spirit' to keep me from being approached by that woman, so I could keep this memory."

"There is actually such a magical organization..."

After sighing with shock, the secretary said with some worry:

"Lord Lei Nade, since that woman in the Precious Flower Manor can join that Cleaning Bureau, she must also have some unusual abilities, right?"

"Hmm."

Unable to help turning his head again to glance at his strange secretary, thinking that even if he knew now, he would inexplicably forget this memory tomorrow, and he had been holding it in for so many years, he really wanted to find a listener to confide in, so Lei Nade answered:

"Although I don't know the specifics, I guess her ability is very likely to be resurrection!"

"Resurrection?"

"Yes, resurrection! She might be able to desecrate the souls of the dead!"

After nodding, Lei Nade continued to walk forward while telling with full fear:

"Back then I clearly... hmm... that is the monster child you mentioned earlier, she absolutely died back then, but that crazy woman kept buying clothes for small children.

And after I found something wrong, I thought she was crazy, but the person I sent to explore there actually saw a little girl in the garden! I even looked through a telescope and saw that the child's eyebrows were exactly the same as... exactly the same as that monster child back then!

Mark! Can you imagine how scared I was at that time?

Damn it! If it weren't for this rare opportunity, and the orders of the Minister of Finance and the Queen were not easy to disobey, I would absolutely not approach that damn manor for half a step!"

"Hmm, I should be able to imagine it, and even if I can't imagine it now, I should be able to see it in a while."???

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Hearing his secretary's strange response, Lei Nade turned his head fiercely, scolding loudly with anger:

"Damn it! Mark! What are you... you... why are you here?!"

"I'm here to see you."

A crisp and pleasant child's voice answered with a cheerful meaning:

"I want to see what the person who drowned me back then looks like, and also..."

Little Ai Li, who replaced the dream Mark, appeared in front of Lei Nade and smiled. Then, in Lei Nade's terrified gaze, she asked innocently:

"Where is my corpse? Where did you throw my corpse? Tell me, okay?"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!" ===== CHAPTER 352 =====
