Chapter 72 He Won
Lance didn’t let out a word after he heard what I say, he just kept staring at me. I didn’t know how long
was he going to stare at me like this, I just held my breath and waited for him to stop.
He tucked me in the duvet and reached his hand out to stroke my face softly, “I won’t be hard on you
anymore, don’t worry.”
I remembered the previous times and look into his eyes fearlessly, “You said you won’t be hard on me
last time, but you…”
I didn’t have to finish my sentence because he knew very clearly.
“Why are you so nosy! I said I won’t anymore and I mean it.”
Lance got frustrated out of the blue.
I chose to stay silent at this moment.
After the investigation of the police in England, it turned out to be just some violent case caused by
some gangster. In the western countries, many countries had granted their people to hold a gun, and
this causes cases like this to happen frequently.
Even though it’s a bullet wound, it didn’t cause any serious damage to my body, therefore I am good to
go after staying in the hospital a few days. My wound had been healing in the speed of light, but I still
couldn’t lift my arm swiftly, it’s a bullet wound after all.
When I was staying in the hospital, Lance went back to Denmark to attend the bidding.
I was very nervous in the meantime and always pay attention to every news from Denmark.
If Lance wins the bidding, that means that the report I saw isn’t the real report. Could it be the trick
Lance played to lead me to that report?
If so, that means he knew what I had been doing all the time.
He knew what my intention was but he didn’t do anything to stop me, was he being nice to me?
A shiver ran down my spine just thinking about it. If he had installed a hidden CCTV, he has all the right
to sue me and this isn’t just any crime, I may find myself in the prison for a long period.
I was still in the hospital when Niklaus called me. Just when I picked up the phone, He Won the
nervousness laced through the voice of Niklaus, “You gave me the wrong data, Jennie, it was
completely different compared to Lance’s.”
I explained to Niklaus calmly. “Lance isn’t some normal businessman, the important bidding document
won’t be simply laying on the table for me to steal, and I know Mr. Sands has the same view as me on
this. I never said that the bidding documents will be the same as what Lance is going to show during
the bidding, I told you to analyse all the data yourself.”
The other side of the phone gone silent for a second after he finally speaks again, “You are right, I can’t
100% trust you, but the data you gave me has a huge difference compared to the data he shows at the
end. The data you gave me is obviously for distraction, he wants to lead us to a completely different
path.”
“You should know about my relationship with Lance Mason, I am no one to him, what makes you think
that I will be able to see the real bidding documents? I am sorry to cause you such a loss but I don’t
think the responsibility is on me!”
I didn’t pay attention to what he said afterward, all I remember was the last thing he told me before he
hung up the call, “Lance Mason is a sly man, you should be careful. There must be more documents in
the mansion in England, if you can go back in there try
to find something. The sex videos of all the officer doesn’t help much. You need to find something
related to him offering and accepting bribes.”
“I will try my best, we are on the same boat, we all hope to see him on the bad end.”
I knew how crafty Lance Mason can be than anyone else, I didn’t need him to remind me.
After the phone call, I deleted the history of this phone call. It was in a second, the butler of the
mansion in England had come and brought me out of the hospital. I was being sent back to the
enormous mansion directly, Lance wasn’t in the mansion, the butler told me he would be back in two
days.
Lance comeback on the second night after I came back from the hospital. I was actually quite curious
how quickly he returned.
Wasn’t he busy taking care of all the emergency of Lay Water Park after he won the bidding? It makes
me uneasy because he won the bidding of Lay Water Park.
In the night, he made me lay on the side of my arm that has no bullet wound and he came in from
behind me.
Even though he was gentler, I still felt uncomfortable.
He saw that I was in pain, therefore after having sex twice, he then lay down beside me.
My mind was a bit messed up thinking about the possibility of him installing a CCTV
in the mansion back in then.
I was sure that I had checked carefully before, there was no CCTV around. But how did he know? Had
he been taking guard on me?
“Why aren’t you sleeping? Not tired enough?” He said while looking at me.
Facing him made me guilty, I didn’t dare to look into his eyes.
