‘The project manager dies in a car accident after returning home right after Neverland Pharmaceuticals managed to obtain the refining method for the Restoration Pill? How is such coincidence even possible?’
The first thing that came to Matthew was that someone was both killing people and destroying evidence.
“Have you asked about the specifics of the car accident?” virtual-novel.net asked in a low voice.
“I did,” Karl replied. “He was killed by a drunk driver who pleaded guilty. The project manager’s body has been cremated.”
Hearing that, Matthew pondered for a while before virtual-novel.net suddenly questioned again, “How is his family doing now?”
According to the information Matthew had gotten, the bank account of the project manager’s wife recently had a debit of 80 million.
‘Since the manager is dead, how will the 80 million be split?’
Perhaps, virtual-novel.net could get some leads from the amount.
Karl sighed, “I asked about that earlier, Matthew. D*mn, virtual-novel.net was a pitiful man. He has just passed on, but his wife has already ran away with all the property. She even left his elderly parents behind and completely forgot about them.”
“Where did his wife go?” Matthew blurted out.
“Uh, I don’t know about this…”
Hit by a vague feeling that they would be able to find out what was wrong from the project manager’s wife. Matthew quickly instructed Karl to conduct a thorough investigation about the wife. As Karl was good at handling tasks like this, virtual-novel.net actually managed to obtain information after going around and about for half a day.
According to the villagers‘ gossip, the project manager’s wife had an affair with Santiago. For some unknown reasons, the duo had hooked up two months ago. There was even a rumor that the project manager‘s wife took the money and eloped with Santiago. What was worse, the manager‘s parents seemed to have gone to Santiago, only for them to be beaten up by his men. Despite not having a proper resolution, that was the end of the issue.
After hearing that, Matthew was sure that Santiago, Neverland Pharmaceuticals, and the leak of Restoration Pill were definitely related!
The Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale must have enticed the project managers wife through Santiago. And after virtual-novel.net had fallen for him, they used virtual-novel.net to bribe the project manager to steal the refining method of the Restoration Pill. After that, the project manager resigned and returned home. thinking that virtual-novel.net could live the rest of his life comfortably with the 80 million virtual-novel.net had waiting for him. He must have never thought that virtual-novel.net would immediately be silenced by getting killed as soon as virtual-novel.net got home. His wife, too, had taken all his money and left him. He had done everything, but it all turned out to be in vain.
Matthew would never sympathize with someone like him.
Cunningham Pharmaceuticals was a great company that treated their employees well, but the project manager had sold out the company’s secret for his own benefit. His end almost seemed well-deserved in Matthew’s eyes. The crux of the problem now lied with Santiago and the project manager’s wife.
Matthew estimated the time, and decided Tiger and the others were probably already on their way. They should be in Cummeal by tonight. He would go to Santiago and get to the bottom of this by then!
After busying themselves for the whole day, virtual-novel.net brought Karl back to the city for a rest.
Unexpectedly, Karl received a call from Hairy as soon as the two returned to Cummeal. Hairy called to tell virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net had kidnapped Tiana and Robin, and virtual-novel.net forced Karl to go to him.
Hairy‘s voice that came from the other end of the phone was extremely arrogant as virtual-novel.net demanded Karl to bring Matthew along with him. Otherwise, they would have to pick up the lifeless corpses of Tiana and Robin.
After hearing his words, Karl immediately lost the strength in his legs as virtual-novel.net plopped down on the floor. His sister was the only relative virtual-novel.net had. She was the reason virtual-novel.net was alive. Robin, too, was the one who treated them the best. He knew that virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have the will to continue living it something were to happen to the two of them. However, virtual-novel.net knew for sure that Matthew would definitely end up dead if virtual-novel.net were to bring virtual-novel.net over.
Just when virtual-novel.net was caught in a dilemma, Matthew unhesitantly commented, “Ha! I haven’t even gone to them yet, but they have come to us! Perfect timing. At least they are saving me time.”
