Chapter 3: The result of the investigation 1

After sleeping late last night, Lie Ruge was awoken by the bright rays of the early morning sun which radiated through the glass windows into her magnificently large bedroom. She remembered forgetting to close her curtains last night after enjoying the beautiful scenery of last night's sky. Since the servants weren't allowed to disturb her while she was sleeping due to her highly sensitive hearing, no one was able to help her close the curtains when she fell asleep last night. She steadily got out of bed and started preparing herself for the day's work.

She wore a white long-sleeved shirt over a black fitted skirt and tied her black ebony-like hair into a bun. She then examined herself in the huge dressing mirror hanged on the wall, and after feeling satisfied with her looks, she went out of her room and entered the elevator. Once she arrived to the chosen floor, she strode to the parking space where various collections of cars were neatly parked.

"I will go with the red sports car today," she told her driver, who was already waiting for her in the parking space. The driver hurriedly opened the car door for her. After she had entered, he closed the door, sat in the driver's seat and drove off.

Inside the car, while waiting for the driver to reach the Empire's building, Lie Ruge opened her tablet to confirm her schedules for the day. Since she was still intently studying her schedule for the day, she was unaware that they had already reached their destination.

"Boss, we have arrived." the driver informed her.

Without giving much attention to the driver, she stepped out of the car, "I will get out of work early today, so meet me here by 4pm," she told the driver before walking elegantly inside the Empire's building.

Xu Feng was eagerly waiting for her at the entrance of the building.

"Good morning Boss," Xu Feng greeted her.

"The results must be ready since you are already here right?" she asked sternly while heading straight to her private elevator.

"Yes Boss," Xu Feng answered while heaving a sigh of relief.

"Let's talk about the details in my office," she said coldly as she waited for the elevator to stop at her designated floor.

Upon arriving, Xu Feng quietly followed her. While heading to her office, all the employees' eyes were on her and she became the center of their gossip.

"Wow! Look at our CEO! Just look at how beautiful and elegant she is," the first girl said proudly, looking at Lie Ruge with eyes filled with admiration.

"So what if she's beautiful? She is just a cold-blooded witch who gives her employees heavy workloads without caring about their well-beings," Bier said while looking at the CEO with contempt.

"True.....I almost forgot about how she sacked our team manager for making mistakes on the business proposal she submitted," Xing'er said with a look of realization on her face.

"That's not even the issue. Don't you guys remember how she deducted my salary of three months just because I didn't bring the documents that required her signature on time?" Bier retold her story with a murderous look clearly visible on her face.

"Oh... I remembered how you earnestly begged her on your knees while weeping profusely but she didn't even blink an eye and still went ahead to deduct your salary of three months," Xing'er said with clear annoyance.

Lie Ruge turned her gaze to the girls who were gossiping about her behind her back. When their gazes met, the three girls immediately scrambled for their dear lives without any utterance from their Boss. Lie Ruge knew that the females' gossips, as well as the males' lustful gazes were all directed at her, and although she felt like gouging their eyes out, she didn't, since she didn't really give a damn about how they look at her. When they finally got to her office, she sat down on the executive chair while placing her handbag on the table.

"Now, tell me the details of the assassination," she ordered Xu Feng sternly.

Xu Feng quickly passed her the documents containing the details of the person responsible for the assassination.

"Boss, Miss Feng Xin'er was the one responsible for yesterday's assassination," Xu Feng calmly disclosed the name of the lady.

AUTHOR'S NOTE☆☆☆☆

Hello my dearest readers,

I just found out a very pain truth yesterday that is why I wasn't in my right mind to upload the normal chapter yesterday. I just found out that the novel I had worked so hard to write was stolen and uploaded on other websites other than Webnovel. I know that I am not the best author out there but it hurts so much to see someone else do this to me (sobs). How could someone be so heartless to do this terrible thing to me? I have asked myself this question more than a hundred times since I found out this painful truth but I could not find a convincing answer to comfort myself, so I just want to formally inform you all that this novel is a contracted work with Webnovel.com, so please if you are not reading this novel on Webnovel.com then it means that my novel was stolen. My hearts bled so much when I found out yesterday that someone else stole my hard work. For those who are reading this novel on another website other than Webnovel.com, will you be so kind to read it on the original website? This is my contact for those who wants to get in touch with me; discord server's ID: https://discord.gg/NSA3qrP
