Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit novel Chapter 567

Chapter 567 Let Him Be a Chess Piece?

That night, Lyra slept soundly. When she opened her eyes again, it was already dawn. Sister Zhang had prepared breakfast and told her that Hank had gone to the company early in the morning because Director Bai and the others went to the Barnwell Group again. However, they did not go to cause trouble but wanted to make up for their past mistakes. That was out of their expectation. Lyra ate breakfast and turned on the TV. It was broadcasting the news that Terry’s company was suspected of embezzling public funds and had long owed a bank loan. The police had also investigated and found out that his personal account had once appeared overseas.

After finding Terry, Director Bai and the others might be able to get their money back, and then they would be able to know if this matter was related to Huaien. Lyra looked at the TV screen and yawned out of boredom. “If you’re tired, then go back to your room to rest for a while. I’ll go buy groceries first,” Sister Zhang said with a smile. “Alright.”

Lyra responded and changed the channel. H What she did not expect was that Sister Zhang had been gone for three hours, and the phone could not get through. When Lyra realized that something was wrong, a picture of Sister Zhang being tied up was sent over, followed by a message, “Do as I say, or I will kill her.”

Then the second message came.

It was a list of transfer funds. Including Terry, there were several directors of the Barnwell Group. They had known about this beforehand! There was no Huaien’s name on the list. “Give the list to the police.” In this way, Huaien would prove innocent in this matter.

“Who are you?” Lyra narrowed her eyes.

The other party did not answer her question. Instead, he sent a voice message. His voice had been tampered with, which was rough and hoarse, and it also carried a heavy questioning tone. “Do you usually just pretend to be nice? Do you not care about this Barnwell family’s servant at all?”

After listening carefully several times, Lyra’s hand drooped down. She could almost confirm the identity of this person, but she still needed time.

She looked at the time on her phone, then simply changed her clothes and went to the police station.

This person knew her living habits very well, and also knew Sister Zhang’s usual moves. On the way from the Barnwell family to the market, there were many passers-by and neighbors. Since he could have taken Sister Zhang away silently, it was likely that he had already monitored the nearby situation, and now it was likely that he was monitoring Lyra somewhere. Therefore, she did not hesitate and went straight to the police station. “Officer Priestley, I have something to talk to you alone.”

At noon, when Hank ended the meeting, Keith told him that Lyra had come, bringing his lunch over.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Hank’s furrowed brows immediately relaxed and he quickly ran towards the office. “Why didn’t you say anything when you came?” As soon as Hank pushed open the office door, he saw Lyra looking around.

“Why…” The man walked over.

Lyra looked at him and made a shushing gesture, then looked at the decorations around him carefully and muttered, “It should be fine here.”

Hank was more and more confused. “Let’s eat first. I’m already hungry.” Lyra handed the chopsticks over. At the same time, there was a small note in Hank’s hand. When he saw the words on it, the man’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed. He saw Lyra eating as if nothing had happened. Then, he opened the next dish with another note. “Get a pen and paper.” Hank got up and moved to the window. The traffic outside the window was heavy. Just as Lyra had guessed, there was a person watching their office from afar, and he could hear every word they said. He could even see what Lyra was eating using a high-powered telescope. “This fish is really nice.” Lyra smiled and lowered her head to take out a tissue. In just a short while, she wrote a few more words.

Hank’s back was facing the window. His eyebrows were pressed down slightly. “This person has been monitoring us.” “He doesn’t want to let Huaien go, but wants his life.” The few directors who were involved in Terry’s matter all had criminal backgrounds before. Once the matter was exposed, they could do anything to protect themselves.

Hank was now making a comeback, and that person might not dare to touch them. But Huaien was different.
