Chapter 144: Chapter 144

Guan Heng stood beside Yu Man, slightly frowning.

He could accompany Yu Man to find the person.

It’s hard to believe that just a few minutes later, something happened to Song Chen.

Esie seemed to have insight into people’s hearts, raised a wine glass and took a leisurely sip, "If you’re looking for your Beast Husband, I’m afraid it’s already too late."

"He’s probably not here anymore, right?"

"Hold Manman for me, let’s go upstairs and take a look together." Yu Man suddenly charged upstairs aggressively.

Guan Heng immediately followed with Manman, afraid that something might happen, and promptly called his people over for protection.

The people in the banquet hall watched this scene, looking at each other in confusion, "What’s going on?"

"Why don’t you go and see for yourself?" Like cats catching the scent of fish, they immediately followed.

Yu Man continued to call Song Chen while opening every door upstairs. After confirming that Song Chen wasn’t in the last room, she immediately dialed the police, "My Beast Husband has been kidnapped..."

For a moment, Esie Burles hadn’t expected Yu Man to choose to call the police so directly and bluntly.

Interesting, truly interesting—does she really think calling the police can solve everything?

Even if it gets blown up, so what? As long as there’s ’concrete evidence’ presented, they can only concede!

"Officer, my Beast Husband is the boss of Huafeng Technology, holding the technology secrets of the Rest Pod. I suspect someone deliberately took him to force him to hand over the Rest Pod technology!"

Those who followed upstairs were whispering, discussing something unclear.

This is a charity banquet, and many people came here looking to boost their reputation, so naturally, there was no shortage of media, and even some livestreams happening.

The Rest Pod has always been a topic of public interest, closely related to them, instantly igniting the online community!

They initially wanted to check out the grand banquet through the livestream but accidentally glimpsed a corner of conspiracy.

Compared to others, they naturally believe Yu Man, after all, she’s the one dedicated to developing the Rest Pod for the public. If the Rest Pod succeeded, she would be their great benefactor!

After Yu Man called the police, she angrily glared at Esie, "Mr. Esie, my Beast Husband is now out of contact; he disappeared from your venue, shouldn’t you give me an explanation!"

"My Beast Husband clearly went upstairs with people from the Curry Family, and now none of them are to be found?"

Yu Man sneered, "You won’t tell me they’ve all turned into birds and flown away, will you?"

Yu Man didn’t think causing a scene would solve everything, but at least she could take the initiative and not be too passive.

Even if Song Chen fell for the trap, the public would know he was framed, and there would be opportunities for his comeback.

They had prepared quite a bit, but overall, they were still passive.

It was the first time Esie had been publicly questioned , finding it novel.

"Mr. Esie, where exactly did my Beast Husband go? Is there some hidden passage here?"

"Miss Yu Man, you’re wrongly accusing me." Esie shrugged.

"Although this charity banquet was organized by our Burles family, this venue, we only took over not long ago." Esie looked innocently at Yu Man, "I really don’t know."

Within the crowd, someone started to mutter, "I remember this place originally belonged to the Burton Family, recently rented to the Burles family."

"Burton? Didn’t Aliya once have a Beast Husband named Nasi Burton? Seemingly died for Aliya."

"Song Chen is Aliya’s son, does that mean he’s Nasi Burton’s child?"

Esie chuckled, "Lady Yu Man, did you hear that? This is the Burton Family’s estate; how would I know if there’s a secret passage?"

Even if he knew, what of it? He wouldn’t admit it.

"Lady Yu Man, compared to me, perhaps your Beast Husband is closer to the Burton family?"

"I heard, not long ago, the Burton Family even sent someone to contact your Beast Husband." Esie laughed mockingly, "Could this be you falsely blaming it on me on purpose?"

Slandering, it wasn’t his first time doing it, without any morality, he didn’t even feel a twinge of guilt.

"Slander? What motive would we have?" Yu Man coldly laughed.

"Your Beast Husband and the Curry Family seem to be at odds; I can’t guarantee whether you’re taking this opportunity to retaliate against the Curry Family."

"Moreover, the Curry Family, being large and wealthy, is much larger than your small company. Could it be... he also wants a share of the inheritance?"

"Second brother! What nonsense are you speaking?" From the crowd, a tall male Beastman with blonde hair and blue eyes stepped out, his gaze carrying a hint of admonition.

Though Esie said these things and pushed Song Chen out as planned, it shouldn’t have been done by them, unnecessarily arousing suspicion.

Esie always spoke without restraint, without considering any consequences, even if he did make a mistake, someone else would clean up after him...

Unlike him, over the years, with Esie’s father in power, he’s been growing more cautious.

Though it may seem he has the upper hand, this was just using him to hone his good second brother.

Esie looked mockingly at Jenkins, "Big brother misunderstood, I was just speaking casually."

He always acted according to his own will, the future and interests of the Burles family?

Heh, he’s not his father, why bother so much?

Then, Esie apologized to Yu Man, "Lady Yu Man, don’t be angry, I’ll find the person in charge here now, they should know if there’s a passageway."

They found the person in charge of the venue and finally discovered a mechanism...

"Is there actually a hidden passage?" they murmured as they looked at the opened bookshelf.

Yu Man held her breath and pressed the elevator button. Updates are released by novel{f}ire.net

Guan Heng hesitated for a moment, not trusting Yu Man completely, and followed with Yu Manman.

Immediately after, the people Guan Heng called also followed.

The elevator was quite spacious; Esie and Jenkins, along with a few curious and bold gossip lovers, also joined.

Someone tried to open their Light Brain to take some pictures, only to find that once inside, the network was isolated, rendering their Light Brain as good as paralyzed, unable to use any functions!

"What’s going on?" Several people were already regretting their decision; if something happened, wouldn’t they be completely inaccessible for help?

"Why did the Burton Family set this up? Could there have been some unspeakable activities here?"

"It might also be that some confidential documents are stored here."

Some powerful families do indeed build signal-isolated places, with a separate network set up inside, making it difficult for intruders to steal information even if they get in.

For a club to make such elaborate arrangements?

However, what intrigued them more now was whether Song Chen was really taken away by the Curry Family?

When the elevator doors opened, the sharp-nosed Beastman immediately caught a whiff of a bloody scent...
