Chapter 131 Investigation Continued

"I don't know." Lucas clenched his slender fingers, a worried expression emerging on his face. "We need to get there first."

Claris raised her eyebrows in curiosity, wondering why they had to go in such a hurry. It most likely had something to do with Rachel.

Rachel and Jack arrived ahead of them, with Kevin and Executive Fang following behind.

Kevin was not his usual self. His skin was dry and his lips were cracking. There were dark circles underneath his eyes. It looked like he hadn't slept at all.

Rachel was shocked by his appearance, "Kevin, are you okay?"

He tried to feign a small smile. "I'm okay. It's nothing."

He insisted that he was okay, but kept zoning out. He was obviously not in the proper mindset today.

Executive Fang was not in a good mood either. He sat across his nephew, glancing at him with a worried expression. As he greeted Rachel and Jack, he seemed too quiet and not himself.

Sensing that something important had happened, she exchanged a worried look with Jack.

Chief Ren entered the room alone. After a brief greeting and formal introductions, he immediately got down to business.

As he spoke to them, he was calm and confident, unlike last night when he had been timid in front of Jack.

He first apologized to Jack and Rachel.

felt differently. In her opinion, Lucas was probably worried that Rachel would misunderstand their relationship.

Seeing them look at each other in silence, Claris felt a slight pain in her chest.

'We are just friends?' She had asked him out so many times. They'd already hugged and kissed each other. Why he did he still tell others that they were just friends?

Quickly, Claris stepped forward and held Lucas' hand. "Didn't you come here in a hurry? Why don't you ask what happened?"

Although she looked at Lucas, she noticed Rachel's expression change in her peripheral vision.

She saw how her face contorted when she placed her hand on Lucas' hand.

She wanted to show Rachel that she wasn't just Lucas' friend.

Then, Lucas asked Rachel about the situation.

She briefly explained what had happened, only mentioning the important details.

After listening to it, he sighed in frustration. His eyebrows were knitted tightly and anger flashed in his eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me about it?"

The way he said that seemed like he was not only worried about her, but that he was blaming her for the situation.

Lucas hastily explained, "If anything happens, I will be worried. You know that right?"

Rachel sighed. "It's all right. Don't worry too much. Jack is already inside trying to solve the issue."
