Sir Please Mellow Down A Bit Chapter 567

Chapter 567 Let Him Be a Chess Piece?

That night, Lyra slept soundly. When she opened her eyes again, it was already dawn. Sister Zhang

had prepared breakfast and told her that Hank had gone to the company early in the morning because

Director Bai and the others went to the Barnwell Group again. However, they did not go to cause

trouble but wanted to make up for their past mistakes. That was out of their expectation. Lyra ate

breakfast and turned on the TV. It was broadcasting the news that Terry’s company was suspected of

embezzling public funds and had long owed a bank loan. The police had also investigated and found

out that his personal account had once appeared overseas.

After finding Terry, Director Bai and the others might be able to get their money back, and then they

would be able to know if this matter was related to Huaien. Lyra looked at the TV screen and yawned

out of boredom. “If you’re tired, then go back to your room to rest for a while. I’ll go buy groceries first,”

Sister Zhang said with a smile. “Alright.”

Lyra responded and changed the channel. H What she did not expect was that Sister Zhang had been

gone for three hours, and the phone could not get through. When Lyra realized that something was

wrong, a picture of Sister Zhang being tied up was sent over, followed by a message, “Do as I say, or I

will kill her.”

Then the second message came.

It was a list of transfer funds. Including Terry, there were several directors of the Barnwell Group. They

had known about this beforehand! There was no Huaien’s name on the list. “Give the list to the police.”

In this way, Huaien would prove innocent in this matter.

“Who are you?” Lyra narrowed her eyes.

The other party did not answer her question. Instead, he sent a voice message. His voice had been

tampered with, which was rough and hoarse, and it also carried a heavy questioning tone. “Do you

usually just pretend to be nice? Do you not care about this Barnwell family’s servant at all?”

After listening carefully several times, Lyra’s hand drooped down. She could almost confirm the identity

of this person, but she still needed time.

She looked at the time on her phone, then simply changed her clothes and went to the police station.

This person knew her living habits very well, and also knew Sister Zhang’s usual moves. On the way

from the Barnwell family to the market, there were many passers-by and neighbors. Since he could

have taken Sister Zhang away silently, it was likely that he had already monitored the nearby situation,

and now it was likely that he was monitoring Lyra somewhere. Therefore, she did not hesitate and went

straight to the police station. “Officer Priestley, I have something to talk to you alone.”

At noon, when Hank ended the meeting, Keith told him that Lyra had come, bringing his lunch over.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Hank’s furrowed brows immediately relaxed and he quickly ran

towards the office. “Why didn’t you say anything when you came?” As soon as Hank pushed open the

office door, he saw Lyra looking around.

“Why…” The man walked over.

Lyra looked at him and made a shushing gesture, then looked at the decorations around him carefully

and muttered, “It should be fine here.”

Hank was more and more confused. “Let’s eat first. I’m already hungry.” Lyra handed the chopsticks

over. At the same time, there was a small note in Hank’s hand. When he saw the words on it, the man’s

eyebrows suddenly furrowed. He saw Lyra eating as if nothing had happened. Then, he opened the

next dish with another note. “Get a pen and paper.” Hank got up and moved to the window. The traffic

outside the window was heavy. Just as Lyra had guessed, there was a person watching their office

from afar, and he could hear every word they said. He could even see what Lyra was eating using a

high-powered telescope. “This fish is really nice.” Lyra smiled and lowered her head to take out a

tissue. In just a short while, she wrote a few more words.

Hank’s back was facing the window. His eyebrows were pressed down slightly. “This person has been

monitoring us.” “He doesn’t want to let Huaien go, but wants his life.” The few directors who were

involved in Terry’s matter all had criminal backgrounds before. Once the matter was exposed, they

could do anything to protect themselves.

Hank was now making a comeback, and that person might not dare to touch them. But Huaien was

different.

He was currently the most suspicious. If he committed suicide out of fear of punishment, or if

something else happened, this case would become a pending case with nobody else implicated.

Knowing the specific truth of Terry’s disappearance and knowing so much about the Barnwell Group

and the Barnwell family, this person’s identity was obvious! However, Lyra could not figure out why he

would do this to Huaien.

If there was enmity, why wait until now?

Right now, the most important thing was Sister Zhang.

The second thing that person had asked Lyra to do was to pretend that nothing had happened and

could not even tell Hank the truth, let alone call the police.

Otherwise, Sister Zhang’s life would be in danger. Lyra could only try her best to write down the news

and tell Hank. As for whether he could understand what she meant, she could not be sure.

The only thing she could be sure of was that the taste of the food on her plate was much worse than

usual. It was mostly due to her mood. She ate a few mouthfuls and put down her chopsticks.

Hank sat next to her, and the chill between his eyebrows became thicker and thicker.

“Why don’t you drink some water?”

Lyra tried to secretly send a message to Hank again. However, just as she was about to reach out to

help him get the water, her wrist was

grabbed by him. Lyra looked over in surprise.

“He wants me to be his chess piece on his chessboard. It’s impossible.”

Then, Hank turned around and looked at the buildings outside the window. He said coldly, “If he dares

to touch Sister Zhang, I want him to never leave Cloud Town for the rest of his life.”

“Hank…”

That afternoon, the man was really angry.

He not only met Officer Priestley once again, but also contacted Brother Logan who had been in

contact with him before, and some friends who could help him. More than an hour later, there was

news from Sister Zhang.

Hank personally brought someone to pick her up. In order to ensure that Sister Zhang was not injured,

he took her for a full-body examination. After Sister Zhang returned to the Barnwell family, she was

very guilty and kept blaming herself. “I should have been more careful. How could I have fallen for it so novelbin

easily?” “Sister Zhang, it’s good that you can come back safely.” Lyra also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Hank did not say a word. He took Keith back to the Barnwell Group, but set up a few 24-hour

patrolling bodyguards outside the Barnwell family.

“Sister Zhang, do you think it will rain?” Lyra looked at the gray sky outside, bored. “The weather

forecast says it is possible,” Sister Zhang replied as she busied herself in the kitchen. “Why did he have

to make him angry?” Lyra slowly closed her eyes and muttered to herself. Originally, Hank had been

brooding over Huaien’s matter, and now, he had a place to vent his anger.
