Chapter 754

"Hmm."

After responding plainly, Leonard looked at his secretary and said suspiciously:

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

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

After answering vaguely for two sentences, "Mark" walked back to his desk with heavy steps and continued to examine the documents that had not been examined before.

And Leonard, who sat back at the table, felt a sudden soreness in his waist and back after looking at the white sky. He couldn't help but yawn, then waved his hand with a tired face and said:

"Don't do it, 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 the matter of imposing an additional monopoly tax on the large companies headed by Charle Department Store. You should also go to the side room and lie down for a while, don't miss the matter tomorrow!"

"Okay."

After hearing Leonard's words, the secretary got up in response, followed him step by step, left the office, and walked into the corridor where the light was slightly dim.

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

"By the way, how is that woman in Baohua Estate?"

Seeming a bit unaccustomed to the silence of the talkative secretary along the way, Leonard took the initiative to speak with some discomfort:

"Is she still living in the garden?"

"..."

After hearing Leonard's inquiry, "Mark"'s shadow paused slightly, did not continue to stretch, but hummed softly and said:

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

Your daughter...

"Shut up! Not allowed to mention that monster! She is not my daughter either!"

Leonard's body jerked upon hearing this, stopped his steps, turned his head, and said with annoyance in his eyes:

"Damn! 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!"

Frightened awake by Leonard's sudden rage, the secretary, who knew he had misspoke, hurriedly slapped himself hard, pulled himself out of the incoherent, half-asleep and half-awake state, and said while shaking like a sieve:

"I... I just... just might be too sleepy... Hou Jue... I... I..."

"That's it, shut your mouth for me!"

After glaring at his secretary with disgust, Leonard calculated to find an excuse to drive him away tomorrow, while saying with cold eyes:

"Considering that you accompanied me to be busy 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, don't blame me!"

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

After humming angrily, Leonard, who had already opened the topic, simply continued to ask:

"I asked you to go and clean up the estate, did she see it? If she saw it, did she say anything?"

"She... should have seen it."

After his eyes flickered slightly, "Mark" replied:

"But she didn't say anything, nor did she go to stop it, just picked up the family crest of the Baohua family from the trash heap in front of the main building." "Is that so... Heh."

Leonard sneered with a little disdain and said:

"After that incident back then, I actually saw her twice. At that time, the woman looked at me as if she was 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 Baohua... that's all."

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

"That is... a mysterious department under the Ministry of Police."

After glancing at the curious secretary behind him, Leonard was a bit annoyed at why he was so quick-mouthed to mention this dangerous organization, but after thinking about it, he explained with a little 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. Ordinary people have never even heard of it, and even if they hear it, they will soon forget it.

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

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

After sighing with shock in his eyes, the secretary said with some worry:

"Lord Leonard, since that woman in Baohua Estate can join that Cleaning Bureau, she must also have some unusual abilities, right?"

"Hmm."

Unable to help turning his head again, after glancing at his somewhat strange secretary, thinking that even if he knew now, he would inexplicably forget this memory when he got up tomorrow, plus he had been holding back for so many years and really wanted to find a listener to confide in, Leonard replied:

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

"Resurrect?"

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

After Leonard nodded, while continuing to walk forward, he said with fear:

"At that time, I clearly... hmm... that is the monster child you mentioned earlier, she was definitely dead at that time, but that crazy woman kept buying clothes for children.

And after I found something wrong, I thought she was crazy, but the person I sent to investigate there actually saw a little girl in the garden! I even saw it directly with binoculars, 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! If it weren't for this rare opportunity, and the orders of the Minister of Finance and the Queen were not easy to violate, I would never have approached that damn estate for half a step!"

"Hmm, I should be able to imagine, 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?"

After hearing the strange response of his secretary, Leonard couldn't help but turn his head suddenly, and shouted loudly with annoyance in his eyes:

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

"I'm here to see you."

A crisp and pleasant child's voice replied with a happy 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 and appeared in front of Leonard, smiled, and then asked innocently in Leonard's horrified eyes:

"Where is my body? Where did you throw my body? Can you tell me?"

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"
