CHAPTER 124: CHAPTER 123: YOU’RE BACK

South City.

Bennett Family Villa.

"Luna, is there any news about Nancy?"

Elliana Lyle half-lay on the sofa, sipping the milk that Lana brought.

To be honest, since the high fever burned her brain "faulty," she only now remembered about Nancy’s matter.

"The debt wasn’t sold, it shows as cleared, and I’ve been looking for you these days, so there’s no substantial news."

Hearing this, Elliana felt a bit disappointed, but she didn’t say anything.

Luna patted her shoulder, comforting her, "Hey, don’t worry, you’ve got me. Since you’re injured, just focus on getting better, I’ll keep investigating."

"Okay." After finishing the milk, she suddenly remembered John Shaw and hurriedly asked, "Any news about John Shaw? Is he still not saying anything?"

"Sigh, it’s hard to explain, he’s not saying a word. It feels like he’s become a mute. Galen Collins has invited a psychologist, I’ll go to the police station tomorrow to check."

As they were talking, Luna’s phone suddenly rang.

She picked it up and was a bit surprised, as this jerk, disappeared for so long, was actually calling her now!

"Hello, calling me only now, where the hell have you been?"

Luna didn’t bother being polite, aside from her astonishment, she was also a bit angry!

After all, she had to investigate things herself these days, even reading a bunch of law books. If she studied for a couple more days, she could probably take the bar exam.

The other end of the line seemed noisy, probably in a crowded place.

Only to hear Li Si reluctantly saying, "I took a trip to Singapore, the old Boss wanted me to go, and I just returned, just got out of the airport."

"Went abroad and didn’t know to give us a call?" Luna didn’t believe Li Si’s words at all, did Norman Bennett have enough to eat and sent him abroad?

"Couldn’t help it, I was too busy at first. I did call the Boss a few days ago, but no one answered."

Li Si’s tone didn’t sound like he was lying, which made Luna even more perplexed, why send someone abroad for no good reason? Further studies?

"Why did Norman Bennett send you abroad? Which country did he send you to?"

"Singapore." The other end paused for a moment, then quickly said, "I’ll catch a cab, and tell you the details when I get back."

Beep beep beep...

"Who called?" Elliana had already stretched her neck, especially since she heard Luna mention Norman Bennett, she became even more curious.

Luna put down her phone and sat down beside her with a displeased expression, "Li Si called, this guy went abroad, don’t know what he was doing, let’s wait till he comes back."

...

―――40 minutes later.

Li Si arrived in a very formal suit, dragging a suitcase. The drizzle outside left him covered in raindrops, hair looking like it was sprinkled with white sugar.

The house servants quickly helped Li Si with his luggage and handed him a dry towel.

"Oh, what an ordeal it was this time," he waved as soon as he entered, exclaiming endlessly.

Sitting in front of the sofa, Elliana focused her gaze on Li Si who just sat down and asked, "Li Si, what did you do in Singapore?"

Luna was just as curious, their expressions were synchronized.

"..." Li Si first gulped down a few sips of water and was about to speak when he noticed Elliana’s bandaged foot and immediately frowned, "Boss, what happened to your foot?"

Elliana quickly waved her hand, "It’s nothing, it’s nothing, you go on." She was still waiting for Li Si to explain why Norman Bennett sent him abroad.

"Well, it was like this, the old Boss initially said he’d pay Evelyn Dunn’s family a million as compensation for mental distress, but they weren’t happy, insisted on more money, so the old Boss sent them abroad, to Singapore."

Elliana nodded, then asked, "What did you do?"

"Don’t interrupt!" Luna slapped Elliana on the forehead and then looked at Li Si, "Continue."

"Here’s the thing, the old Boss not only sent them abroad, but he also got them new nationalities, arranged work and a villa for them in Singapore!"

Luna, upon hearing this, was full of question marks, "Is Norman Bennett out of his mind? A one-stop service that’s so thorough!"

Not only Luna was puzzled, but even Elliana found it a bit odd.

"Hey hey hey!" Li Si shook his head and waved his hand, leaning in seriously towards the two, "None of that matters, what matters is the old Boss’s crazy move... ."

Li Si recalled the day he arrived in Singapore...

As soon as he got off the plane, he received an address, but he didn’t have to find the way himself, someone was going to pick him up.

After a half-hour drive, the person who picked him up dropped him off in front of a detached villa, a garden house, clearly a place for rich people.

As soon as he got off the car, another car stopped in front of the villa, and the person who got out was someone Li Si recognized—one of the old Boss’s guys.

Right after that, Evelyn Dunn’s family got out, and the old Boss’s guys were very polite to them.

"Mr. Dunn, this is the villa our boss arranged for you, please go ahead."

Watching Evelyn Dunn’s family being led into the villa, he himself was handed several copies of documents to review carefully.

After he finished reading, Evelyn Dunn’s family escorted the old Boss’s men out.

It was clear that Mr. Dunn was overjoyed, exuding happiness from within, "Oh my, this villa is wonderful, I never dared to imagine living in such a nice place my whole life. Thank your boss for me."

"Wait a minute!"

Luna interrupted Li Si directly, "Just tell me what finally happened?"

"Oh, come on! Let me finish!" Li Si waved his hands restlessly, "After the old Boss’s men left, it was my turn, I brought up the issue of defamation against the boss’s reputation, planning to sue them. At the time, they didn’t care, but when sentenced, you should have seen their faces turn green."

"Not only did I secure damages for the boss, but the old Boss also bought their debts. As a result, they went bankrupt and still owe you 4 million in mental distress fees. Right now, they can only work to repay the debt."

Li Si finished with a chuckle, "This was the easiest case I ever fought, didn’t need to prepare anything."

"..."

Elliana and Luna exchanged glances, and Luna immediately joked, "I always thought Norman Bennett was a cold piece of wood, but didn’t expect he’s actually an arctic fox."

...

―――Melody Harmony Group.

In the second-floor reception room, there were a lot of employees, who were Norman Bennett’s drivers and bodyguards.

At that moment, everyone was standing in a formation, and the man lecturing in front of them was Raymond Wood.

"All of you remember, from now on, what Miss Lyle says is akin to the boss’s words, got it?"

"Got it!"

Raymond moved back and forth, finally nodding with satisfaction, "Go back and write a reflection, submit it by the day after tomorrow at the latest."

With that said, everyone exchanged looks, immediately realizing that Brother Wu was in a bad mood, probably scolded by the boss and now venting on them.

Last time he made them write essays, and this time it was reflections, really living up to being sent by the boss to teach in the countryside for two years.

"Got it?"

At this point, someone cautiously asked, "Brother Wu, what should the reflection be about?"

Raymond Wood frowned and stated sternly, "The reflection on today’s lecture, no less than five hundred words! You’re dismissed."
