Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 473

"Wait, what do you mean? There was an anonymous tip-off about me some days earlier. Do you have something to do with it? Or you wouldn't know The Investigation Department's real purpose talking to me."

Daisy shot a stern glare at Hank. If he didn't have anything to do with the tip-off, he wouldn't know its content because The Investigation Department would never disclose this kind of thing to others just off the cuff. And she didn't believe that the commander would be so careless to tell him about it. So the only explanation would be that he had known it in advance.

"I have something to do with it? What are you talking about? There's a saying: there's no smoke without fire. Do you know it, Colonel Ouyang? The day has eyes, the night has ears. If you want to keep something a secret, the best way is having no secret. What? I was just guessing. Did I hit it?"

Gosh! Hank broke into a cold sweat secretly. He was annoyed with himself that he didn't remain calm while talking to her. She might have found him out! It looked like that this woman was not the kind who could be fooled easily. He must be careful dealing with her. Otherwise, his life would be destroyed!

"Oh, sure! Lieutenant Colonel, you're really lucky. You know the so-called truth with just a random guess. You're pretty clever! You seem to be much more brilliant than a fortune-teller. Do you know what I am curious about? I wonder what Jessica Lin has promised you so that you were willing to give up your career and side with her to set me up."

Guessing? Who couldn't do it? The point was whether you'd like to do it or not. She always remained suspicious about Jessica Lin. Now that Hank said he was just guessing, Daisy thought she could do the same too. She decided to make a bold guess that they colluded to set her up and that was why she had got the tip-off last time.

"What? Jessica Lin? I don't know her. Don't ever try to get words out of me. Or are you taking the opportunity to take revenge on me because I've seen through your secret?" Hank shifted his eyes to avoid eye contact with Daisy. He was somewhat guilty and dared not face her questioning. But Daisy was an acute observer. She knew there must be something between him and Jessica Lin judging from his reaction. The only thing she didn't know was what their game was.

"Revenge on you? You really have a persecution complex, Lieutenant Colonel. Didn't you make a guess just now? I am guessing too, just like what you did. Did I hit it? Did I guess it right about you and Jessica Lin?"

Daisy smiled coldly. No one could cash in on her as long as she didn't want to give up, no matter if it was physical combat or a war of words. She disliked to give tit for tat to other people. It was not because she was not eloquent. She just disdained to do it.
