Guadalupe’s face changed slightly.
She suppressed her displeasure and asked calmly. “Why lock the door? My question…” She paused for a moment, glanced at everyone, “Does it need to be kept confidential?”
James immediately smiled and said, “No, no, Guadalupe, don’t worry too much. Director Yang locking the door doesn’t mean anything else, it’s just this matter… not convenient to spread outside.”
“Oh. it seems there was a hidden agenda.”
“Yes, Guadalupe is unaware. The two people you asked about were the earliest workers in the factory, and they were a married couple. Later, they had a safety accident in the factory and became disabled, unable to work. At that time, in order to avoid making a big fuss, we negotiated with the couple to provide compensation. The couple was also interesting and proposed to receive sick pay for fifteen years.”
You were quite interesting with what you said.
Guadalupe pursed her lips and fell silent for a few seconds. She furrowed her brows and nodded, pretending to believe, and then delved deeper into the conversation he had started. “So why didn’t you explain it to the company?”
“Hey, how can those who sit in offices understand the hardships of the workers? If we talk about it, a bunch of people will be affected, finding a job is not easy. Moreover, this time giving it all at once or in batches doesn’t make much difference.”

“Mr. Oliver. I can understand it from a personal perspective, but from a professional standpoint, what you did was against the rules and procedures. Moreover, you see, by doing this, it made the uninformed workers think that there was a ghost, which is quite frightening.”
“Yes, yes, we know it’s against the rules, so we wanted to discuss with Guadalupe if we could make an exception this time. That way, the president wouldn’t have to worry about such trivial matters. He manages such a large corporation, and it’s really heartbreaking to bother him with such small things.
Guadalupe pretended to consider.
In a moment, she said. “Well, but I want to meet the disabled couple and verify it. If there is no problem, I won’t report it either.”
James was taken aback, “Sure, no problem.”
It was five o’clock in the evening.
Ezequiel finished the summit and then attended the host’s dinner.
We finished around 8 o’clock and returned to the hotel.
There was a video conference to be held in the evening. He took a short rest in his room and was about to start when Gilbert hurriedly came in and said, “Guadalupe hasn’t come back yet, and her phone is also unreachable.”
Ezequiel furrowed his brows and paused his hand that was about to lift the computer. “Did you not contact each other today?”
“No, we agreed to contact each other last night, but she didn’t call me

today. I thought she had already gone back to the hotel.”
“Call the factory and ask about the situation.”
“Yes.”
Gilbert immediately made a call, and after hanging up, his expression. worsened. “The factory said she left around one o’clock in the afternoon. Considering the time, she should have returned by now.”
Ezequiel’s expression turned somewhat stern.
He cancelled the video conference for tonight and called the deputy general manager Jackson Hale, who is in charge of the factory, to go to the factory together. At the same time, he instructed the people at the factory to adjust the surveillance and look for people in the surrounding
area.
Melany heard the news and insisted on going together.
When Ezequiel and Gilbert were leaving the hotel, they encountered a man wearing a dark blue shirt with a fierce and menacing expression, accompanied by several other people.
Ezequiel was looking down at the time and didn’t notice what was ahead. Gilbert, on the other hand, saw the approaching person and was startled. He quickly stepped forward to block the “terrorist” coming towards his
master.
“Mr. Harrison!”
Mr. Harrison’s voice made Ezequiel look up.
The gazes of two men met in the darkness of the night.
“Where is my wife?” Desmond’s every muscle was tense, like a male lion invading another male lion’s territory, filled with aggression.

“She disappeared.”
Ezequiel calmly uttered four words.
He was slightly taller than Desmond. When he looked back, his slightly drooping peach blossom eyes were calm and indifferent, as if looking at a dog. revealing an inherent sense of absolute superiority.
“What do you mean she’s gone?” Desmond clenched his fist, the bones. cracking as he squeezed.
Gilbert was afraid that Mr. Harrison, with his super masculine strength, would start a fight at the door, so he quickly reached out and stood between them.
“It was like this, Mr. Harrison. Ms. Melton applied for the position of our company’s chief secretary, and now she is the personal secretary to our president. Early this morning, she went to the factory under the subsidiary company, but she hasn’t returned yet. We also can’t reach her on the phone. We are preparing to go to the factory to look for her. That’s how things are.”
Applying for a secretary position?
Ezequiel’s personal secretary?
These two pieces of information were enough to make Desmond’s blood pressure skyrocket. In addition, the fact that someone went to the factory and still hasn’t returned, and the phone is not reachable… All these things combined; his mind was about to explode.
Ezequiel’s car had already parked at the entrance, and the driver had already opened the door. He no longer paid attention to Desmond and got into the car.
His car drove out of the hotel, and Desmond’s car closely followed

behind.
Gilbert glanced at the rearview mirror and said, “How did Desmond find us? Miguel clearly covered all the tracks.”
“Whatever you always wanted to find, you could always find it.”
Ezequiel was not surprised, and he was not concerned about it now. The most important thing at the moment was where Guadalupe was. “What did she find out yesterday?”
Gilbert then told him about what Guadalupe had discovered last night.
Ezequiel felt uneasy after listening to it, “Why didn’t you make it clear this morning? If there was really something fishy, if she had found out. would they have let her go so easily?”
“…This-” Gilbert also panicked, “It can’t be that serious, just using the pretext of inspecting the factory to investigate, and we don’t even know her intentions. Even if we find out, it’s not like she would imprison
someone.”
“What if this matter had already leaked out, or if she had found out and didn’t immediately stop, daring enough to question or challenge?”
The way she played Texas Hold’em, she really had such a boldness.
Ezequiel rubbed his forehead anxiously and thought for a moment. “Spread the word, if there is no news from Guadalupe within an hour, all the management teams in the branch and the factory will be dismissed.”
!!!”
Gilbert’s heart raced, “But what about reasons? They will surely ask for reasons to believe that you are unfair.”

reason, if they dare to touch my people right in front of me, it means they don’t respect me.”
Gilbert, “Well, but there was no evidence back then to prove that Guadalupe was involved in the incident at the factory.”
Ezequiel: “I believed in my intuition.”
And there was no other way now… She came with him, and he was determined to protect her completely.

“Um…”
Guadalupe’s hands were tied behind the chair, with tape over her mouth. It was pitch black in front of her, with the sound of waves in her ears and the smell of damp, rotting wood at her nose.
In the afternoon at the factory, James sent someone to pick up the couple. After half an hour, he told her that the people were already waiting at a restaurant near the factory.
She thought it was broad daylight, with people coming and going in the restaurant, so they wouldn’t dare to act recklessly. She also wanted to see how far they could go with their lies; how much they could deceive.
The person had not yet arrived at the restaurant when they were knocked unconscious upon entering an alley.
Waking up, the person found themselves locked in here.
I’m not sure how long it had been, but the door creaked open.
A ray of moonlight shone in from outside, simultaneously illuminating the sinister smile on the face of the incoming person.
It was him!
