“Why not?” Chase smiled.
“Alright. I really don’t understand.” Lena smiled with disappointment.
She thought Chase must be afraid of Jun and Sherly’s revenge, so he planned to make a good relationship with the local police.
And she reinforced this idea as she saw a luxurious car tailing their car.
Lena didn’t fear to see the car behind them, but on the contrary, her eyes were full of murder.
Of course. Chase closed his eyes to have a rest now, so he didn’t find Lena’s expressions, and naturally, the car behind them.
They got to a five-star hotel named XLD Hotel and ordered a presidential suite.
Chase didn’t have some special feelings about that, but York could feel Lena’s great attention to the competition.
The competition started at seven the next afternoon. Chase directly went to sleep after having a call with Jayne.
He was so tired and didn’t want to hang around there.
Chase’s refusal made Lena disappointed. She thought Chase was still afraid of Jun’s revenge.
Indeed, Jun’s men were already waiting out of the hotel, but because of XLD Hotel’s boss’s influence, Jun didn’t dare to break in and make trouble inside.
He thought Chase had to go out, so he led some people to wait for Chase outside.
As Chase got up, he heard York, who was watching TV in the living room, made a sigh. “Indeed, our city’s security is better. City Z is so disordered. Fortunately, we didn’t go out yesterday.”
“What happened?” Chase asked.
“The two people who made trouble for us on the plane have been murdered yesterday. Their dead bodies have been found by a Fishman this morning.” York answered.
Chase took out his mobile phone and hurriedly browsed the news.
Indeed, Jun and Sherly had been killed last night.
“You already wake. Do you want to have breakfast now?” Lena came out and asked.
Chase took the phone and then said. “Let’s go out.”
Lena was surprised, but she soon realized that Chase must have known the news, so he didn’t fear now.
As York went to the washroom, Chase stared at Lena.
“Jun and Sherly were killed. Judged from the wound in the picture, they were murdered by a master. Who has been practicing using the dagger for at least ten years.” Chase stared at Lena’s eyes.
“Ah? Really? How do you know that?” Lena was shocked, eyes filled with panic.
Chase squinted. This woman performed so well, almost making him trust her.
“Haven’t you browsed the news today?” Chase still peered at Lena.
“Mr. Lu. I guess it was you who asked a master to kill them.” Lena took a deep breath and then smiled calmly.
“He offended you, and he broke your glasses,” Chase said meaningfully.
“Just a pair of glasses. How can I take it to my heart? Besides, this is City Z. Do you think a weak woman can have such great power?” Lena looked annoyed.
“I didn’t mean that. I wouldn’t be handcuffed if you really had such power.” Chase smiled. It was the first time he smiled in front of Lena today.
“You’re right. I wouldn’t let you suffer if I really have power.” Lena also smiled.
Both of them were smiling, but both of them had their own thoughts.
Then Chase invited the director of the Police Bureau in City Z to drink coffee.
The director, Liu, had called Chase last night, and Chase really offered fifty million to the Police Bureau, which had even shocked the mayor.
The mayor, Ming Wang, hurriedly checked Chase’s identity, and then he personally called Wade Xie to make sure.
Then he began to guess Chase’s intention.
It was rare for Chase’s investment in the Science Park. If Chase decided to invest another Science Park in City Z, it would definitely be a significant investment.
Though City Z was already a developed international city. Its development now met the bottleneck, and wouldn’t take one more step forward without a critical investment, so Ming had to care much about Chase’s intention.
Ming also paid much attention to Chase’s invitation, so he called Liu and urged him to ask Chase’s intention.
Chase and Liu got to the coffee shop and then booked a private room. They directly went to the point after a short greeting.
Liu was a straightforward man, so he directly asked Chase if he came here for investment.
Chase knew it must be mayor’s idea.
That was just the reason Chase invited Liu there. He had to let Ming know that he had the plan to invest there, but the time was not determined yet.
The estimated time point was the next year when the new products were made.
Liu left with Chase’s reply.
He had recorded their conversation, so he played the record for Ming as he went to find Ming.
Ming nodded after hearing the record, hesitating if he should meet Chase these days.
As Chase went back to the hotel, York said. “It’s just one hour before the competition. Do you need a rest?”
Chase shook his head. “I’m fine. The strongest opponent is Ziller Xiao, the second-ranking master I know much about, not much more skilled than Silas Zheng.
York was pleasant to see Chase’s confidence. He nodded. “Good. Keep your confidence.”
This competition was critical, so they were all hoping that Chase could win in the name of Jol City.
The competition was just held in XLD Hotel. York took Chase and Lena to the competition hall at six in the afternoon.
