CHAPTER 858: CHAPTER 858: NEVER MADE CONTACT WITH ANYONE

"Miss, please eat something," the butler softly reminded her.

"Yes, Miss Gan," Helen saw the untouched breakfast on the table and immediately understood what was happening. She stepped forward and also offered words of comfort, "Your health is crucial. If anything happens to you, the Duke would be even more worried."

Gan Yuan nodded and carefully read the letter in her hand once more, then handed the list to Helen.

"Go find out what these people have been up to recently."

Throughout the sleepless night, Gan Yuan also stayed awake, analyzing the entire incident as clues were sought from various directions.

These were the names of people she could think of who might have ill intentions towards Gan Tang. These people included important figures she had once killed, some were enemies of the Red Flame, and the last group consisted of those who had announced their intention to run for election in F Country.

"Got it, I’ll go immediately. Please eat something first!"

Helen took the list and walked out of the room. In the hallway, Will hurriedly approached.

Helen stopped, "Any progress?"

Will shook his head, "How is Teacher Sherry?"

"She is out of danger but still hasn’t regained consciousness, so we haven’t been able to question her."

Will sighed in relief, a small piece of good news after a sleepless night, "Any idea when she might wake up?"

"Hard to say. I’ve already instructed the doctors to notify me immediately if she wakes up," Helen replied.

"This is..."

Will’s gaze fell on the paper in her hand.

"It’s the list Miss gave me; I’m to check on their recent activities. Whatever you need, I’m on it." Helen explained.

"Alright." Will stepped aside to let her through, then gently pushed the door open and walked in.

At the table, Gan Yuan was holding a cup of milk, struggling to swallow the liquid while frowning.

Hearing his voice, Gan Yuan immediately turned around.

"Will?"

"There’s still no news. I inquired with Duke Locke, and everyone who might have known Qian Xueying has been questioned. She hasn’t contacted anyone."

Gan Yuan nodded, "You should eat something too."

Will had no appetite but didn’t want to reject her kindness, so he nodded and left the room again.

Will too had been sleepless all night, running around several places gathering information, wearing himself out. His eyes were bloodshot, and his face showed his exhaustion.

Just as he was about to call the traffic bureau, his eyes caught the stairs, and he suddenly thought of Jessica.

Grabbing his phone, he was already dialing as he headed towards the stairs, spotting a maid and waving her over.

"Prepare a breakfast for Jessica and send it to her."

"Yes, Mr. Will."

The maid quickly agreed, went downstairs to fetch the breakfast, placed it on a tray, and brought it upstairs to Jessica’s room. She knocked on the door; when there was no response, she puzzledly pushed it open.

Inside, beside the coffee table, the bodyguard had an orange stuffed in his mouth and was struggling to undo the tie that bound him to the sofa.

Seeing her, he immediately started making muffled cries for help.

The maid was startled, quickly put down the breakfast, and rushed over to help untie him.

The knots were intricately tied, and the maid had to use a fruit knife to cut them open. After some effort, she managed to free him. The bodyguard forcefully removed the orange from his mouth and gasped for air before speaking.

"Quick... go notify Mr... Mr. Will."

The maid hurriedly got up and dashed out the door.

Good afternoon
