The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 473 The Conspiracy

"Susie, sorry to have made you act along with me. Every corner in my house is set u p with surveillance cameras. I can only pass the message to you in secret like this. I hope you don't mind."

The note went into the main topic.

"You must be wondering why you heard nothing of me in these three years and why I could accumulate my wealth so fast. I did save some funds through the share market in the beginning, but a group of people came to me just when I was ready to start a business. These people told me that they were powerful. If I were willing, they could provide me manpower and funding t o let me develop my business rapidly. I've never been one to believe in God. Besides, the identity of these people is suspicious, s o I refused to work with them.

"I didn’t expect them to show their true colors and hold me captive after knocking me out when I rejected them. Then, they slowly exposed their real identity.

"They belong to an organization called the Dark Night. The reason they came to me was because they appreciate my talent in business and hoped that I could manage the organization's assets so they could complete a grand plan.

"Out of options, I could only agree to their request. For the following years, their assets grew considerably under my management and they trust me, relatively.

"Not too long ago though, when the funding came through, they decided to launch a huge plan. That's how I panicked.

'Having had close contact with Dark Night these years, I have a few guesses. Rather than calling them guesses, I think they're 8 0% to 90% true.

"Firstly, there's probably a stronger force behind Dark Night as support. Secondly, their final mission is to wreak havoc in Skyking City.

"I'm passing you this note mainly for this matter. These people want me to make investments in Skyking City. They want m e to buy a few plots of land in the center of Skyking City and their men will bury things underground! There’s about one year from when I buy the land to burying what they planned before starting the construction. One year later, countless people will surge to the center of Skyking during the holidays, and by then, the number of casualties will be grave in the center of Skyking.

"The only thing I can do is tell you guys everything I know. Please, you must stop this from happening. The locations of the land those people made me buy are..."

Luke listed the locations of the plots of land one by one. In the end, he continued.

"Burn this letter after you read it. Don't try t o contact me. My mobile number and everything else is being watched.

"And Susie... I’m so happy to see you again."

The letter ended.

Julian wore a deep frown.

Susan looked at him. "What do you think about it?"

Julian narrowed his eyes. "He actually said that he was happy to see you again. It's obvious that he's still interested in you." Susan was speechless. It was after a long stretch of silence that she said, "That’s all you saw? The last line? What about what's written before that?"

The note was loaded with information. If the contents rang true, this was a serious matter.

With Susan's careful questions, Julian could not help raising his brows. “ Buildings will be checked and we can investigate thoroughly before and after the holidays. Even if those things are buried under, they won't escape from being detected. But since the people from Dark Night have planned this for so long, it means that they must be working together with some people for it."

"What do we do?" Susan was high strung.

'In the past this would've been tricky, but with Luke's detailed addresses now, it'll be easy to solve. We just have to take precautions and prevent those plots of land from being sold to others,” said Julian. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

"What if they change their plan and switch to other plots of land?" Susan asked.

Julian shook his head. "The plots of land near the center of Skyking are all under heavy surveillance. Since they've decided t o purchase them, they must have done massive and specific work on them in secret. If those lands are out of reach and they wanted to prep the other plots, it'd be too late. Besides, Luke's disclosed the news and we’ll be prepared. Their route is basically nipped. This is serious, and I’ll let Dad know first."

Julian called George immediately and sent him a photo of the letter with his phone.

What Luke disclosed earned a high priority of attention from George. With the surveillance set up, it was near to impossible for Dark Night members to do anything.

The possible threat vanished without a trace and sound.

Julian destroyed the note, but Susan was still hit with various emotions.

Returning to the hotel, she was quiet for some time before she finally asked, "Luke told us about the plan. If the Dark Night people find out that he's the whistleblower, isn't he in danger now?"

"You're worried about him?" Julian questioned jealously.

Susan raised her brow. "Shouldn’t I?"

For whatever happened previously, what Luke did this time was commendable. It was only right that she was worried about his safety.

Julian huffed but answered anyway. "You should."

What Luke did this time was truly heroic.

Julian thought about it and replied, "Luke must know the risk he put himself into. His last words in the letter, "So happy to see you again,' sound like a farewell. He’s probably prepared to sacrifice himself."

Susan could not help balling her hands up nervously. "He shouldn't end up like this. Don’t we have any way to save him?"

"We can only try," Julian said carefully. " We'll pretend that we haven't realized their plan yet and go along with it. Luke will be making the investment then. It'll be more convenient to save him then. Right now, w e can only hope that he doesn't show any anomalies in this period of time.

Otherwise, his death is guaranteed."
