Neil sat down in the room with Henry accompanying him. Various thoughts went into their mind, but no one said a word. Previously, Secretary Liu had testified against Jeffrey Leng's and revealed his corruption and disgusting behavior.

Although they were all taken into the detention centers and will be punished for their crime, Neil was still unaware of the truth about what happened to his Adam and Claire.

After Adam had passed away, Neil has heard that his brother was investigating the hospital project and found something. He had tried to find the evidence that Adam had gathered and had tried to search for them in Adam's study. However, he could not find anything. Neil didn't expect that his brother would hide the evidence inside his daughter's drawing folders.

On the evidence that Adam had collected, it was revealed that the directors had pocketed a lot of money from that project. While Adam was investigating the corruption, he found out that Director Feng would often meet up with Jeffrey Leng and had given the man a lot of money.

To build that hospital, MH Group had bought a few lands around the area, including some old shop lots. During their discussion, MH Group had agreed to purchase their land according to the price that they have agreed on.

He did not think that once he had handed the matter for Director Feng to handle, the man would pocket the money meant to purchase those shop lots. Director Feng had then had purchased those land at a price lower than what they have agreed on.

Jeffrey Leng had helped to suppress those landowners with legal matters. When the landowners had wanted to fight back, Jeffrey Leng had helped to hire some thugs to create trouble for them.

It was Secretary Liu who had found those thugs. The group of thugs was the people working under his nephew.

After talking with the landowners, Adam had later found out the names of the thugs and had compiled everything under the evidence that he was gathering.

The door creaked as it was pushed from the outside and Neil snapped out of his trance. His expression turned cold as he watched Secretary Liu entered the room.

"President Mo?" Secretary Liu stared back at the man in surprise. It was already a little strange that he would receive a visitor during the non-visiting hour. When the officer told him that someone wanted to see him, Secretary Liu did not expect that he would see Neil in this room. 

Neil stared at the man in front of him with his cold eyes. At this time, Neil could not help but think of how suitable the uniform look on Secretary Liu's body. The man had caused a young girl to lose her parents. He deserved to be in prison!

The officer led Secretary Liu to sit down before he stood at the door to guard.

"President Mo, why are you here?" Secretary Liu asked. He could sense that something was not right with the way Neil was staring at him and Secretary Liu was starting to feel a little uncomfortable. 

The silence in the room lasted for a while until Neil chose to speak. 

"Bruce Tian, the youngster who died in an accident a few months ago worked under your nephew, right?" Neil said. "Secretary Liu, did you remember him?"

Secretary Liu frowned as he thought that this name sounded familiar. A few seconds later, the expression on his face changed, knowing the reason for Neil's visit at this hour.

"Before my brother, Adam passed away, he was investigating the corruption with MH Group hospital project and found the evidence that would bring Attorney General Leng down," Neil said. "He wanted for Adam to stop investigating and had sent a few people to find trouble and had asked you to find those people. Bruce Tian was one of those guys."

Secretary Liu pursed his lips. "You're here because of your brother."

Neil did not answer but only kept his gaze on the man in that detention center's uniform.

Secretary Liu chuckled. Although he wanted to deny this, he was already in the detention center as Jeffrey Leng's accomplices. He had volunteered to testify against that person and was promised leniency, but Secretary Liu was aware that he would still have to face the consequences for what he had done. He might as well admit to all the crimes he had done.

Taking a deep breath, Secretary Liu then said, "Yes. That person worked under my nephew. But President Mo, you have to know that we have no intention for that accident to happen." His posture was straight as he spoke. "Attorney General Leng asked me to find my nephew to scare Adam. We only wanted him to back down and stop investigating. You should know that Attorney General Leng was planning to enter politics. The time was crucial and he could not afford to have a bad reputation."

Neil's gaze turned darker and the temperature in that room dropped a few degrees.

"Those guys gave him some warning, but Adam refused to listen," Secretary Liu said. "That night, my nephew and his men went to look for Adam. They were going to threaten him to stop investigating, but Adam got away. Those men wanted to chase after him and that was how the accident happen. President Mo, we did not expect that the two of them would get into an accident and Adam would die."

Neil spent more than an hour in the detention center. When he got out of the building, the sky has already turned dark. Henry had volunteered to drive him home, but Neil had rejected him. He drove back home with a dark look on his face as he kept replaying his conversation with Secretary Liu.

Once he pulled over at the parking spot, Neil sat in his SUV for a long time in a daze. There were just too many things that happened on the day and he had received a little too much information. At this time, Neil thought that his brain was a little overloaded.

He did not know that his brother was threatened to stop his investigation. He was unaware that there were people who would look for Adam and tried to cause trouble.

Neil tried to recall the last few months before Adam passed away. Every time they met, Adam would always have a smile on his face. He did not look as if he was encountering any problem. However, Adam was always like that. No matter what it was, he would always have that bright and sunny smile on his face.

At times, Neil was a little jealous that Adam was able to hide everything under that smile, but at this time, Neil thought that he hated that Adam would always smile. If only he was a little more attentive, perhaps he would discover that Adam was facing those things.

If only Adam had found him and discuss things together with him, would things be different?

The house was dark when he entered. An auntie greeted him before Neil went upstairs to the bedroom. His steps halted at the door when Neil saw that his wife was sitting at the bed with a book in her hand.

Edith looked up when she heard the movement. She put down the book on the bedside table and walked over to Neil. She gave him a look over and heaved a breath of relief upon finding that he was fine and that there was no smell of alcohol around him. 

"Did you go to the detention center?" Edith watched him nodded lightly and held his hand. "How was it?"

Neil did not answer. Instead, he pulled her closer and buried his face in her neck. His heart grew calmer as he smelled the familiar scent, his heart  "Stay.. Let me hug you for a while."
