Han's face darkened, and he strode forward. He reached out and hit the back of Leah's neck, and she

lost consciousness instantly.

"I'm sorry." He muttered apologetically, and then he carried her into the car.

He could not watch her get herself into trouble.

In the hospital, the emergency room doctor conducted a simple check-up on Leah.

He put his stethoscope aside and said, "It's nothing serious; just wait for her to wake up for the time

being."

Han nodded, and he was about to leave the ward. But his phone rang all of a sudden.

As he walked out of the ward, he quickly answered the call and closed the door behind him.

"Has Alfred been found?"

"Yeah, but he had lost too much blood. He's…" The person on the other side of the phone paused.

His heart sank upon hearing the sudden silence; he grabbed his phone tightly.

After a few seconds, he finally said, "Alright. Please send his body back; I'll bring him home."

Alfred had always been with him since the beginning, when he just took over the Ford Group; Alfred

took care of a lot of things for him. And he was willing to drop everything back in Linkville to accompany

him abroad.

Han asked his man to guard the door of the ward as he left the hospital.

After he arrived at Lakeside Villa One, he quickly got out of the car and rushed down to push the gate

open.

He looked at the empty living room with a cold expression. "Where is his body?"

Ben lowered his head upon hearing Han's question; he then glanced at Anna, who was sitting on the

sofa.

Anna's men prevented him from bringing Alfred's body back into the villa, as she thought that it was

unlucky to bring a dead body into the house.

She said that she had just been discharged from the hospital, so she did not want any bad luck to fall

upon her.

Seeing Han's facial expression, she got up and asked in surprise, "Ethan, why are you back?"

His expression got even colder, and he questioned, "Where is Alfred's body?"

Anna rubbed her hands; she did not expect Han to care about someone unimportant like Alfred. "I

asked my man to put him in front of the storage room."

"What's wrong? Did I arrange it improperly?" She saw that Han was not talking to her, so she asked

carefully.

His icy-cold gaze fell on her, and he asked, "What do you think?"

Anna's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, "I'll ask my men to help with Alfred's funeral."

"I don't need your help." He walked past Anna and walked toward the storage room. Ben immediately

followed right behind him.

Anna's face turned pale looking at his reaction; Han was getting out of her sight.

Alfred's body was placed at the door of the storage room; his eyes were tightly closed and his face was

bloodlessly pale. One might think that he was merely sleeping.

Ben's eyes reddened upon seeing his body. Once he received Han's call, he immediately brought many

men to look for Alfred in the abandoned warehouse. Alfred was found in a stranded toilet.

The murderer failed to achieve his goal, so he vented his frustrations on Alfred.

Apart from knife wounds, there were many bruises on him.

Han's face was completely crumpled; he would surely make the culprit pay for it. He looked away, and

he said sadly, "Let's choose a date for his funeral."

Ben sobbed and answered, "O-kay…"

It was already the next day when Leah woke up.

She stared at the white ceiling, and she realized that she was in the hospital. She turned over and got

up, but she was stopped by someone just as she reached the door.

The bodyguard at the door blocked her way and said firmly, "Ms. White, you're not allowed to leave

without Mr. Howard's instruction."

She grimaced, and she tried to push the bodyguard off, but it was useless. "Why?"

"Please go back."

She was helpless, but she knew that she could not possibly fight against the bodyguard. So she

returned to the ward again.

She sat on the hospital bed, and she dialed Han's number. She wanted to know what he was up to.

"Sorry, the number you've dialed is not available." The robotic female voice was repeating for countless

times until the phone was hung up automatically. She then came back to her senses.

For some reason, she felt uneasy. She felt that something might be wrong, so she called Serena's

phone.

"Serena, can you do me a favor?"

Serena could hear something was off with Leah through the phone.

Leah gave Serena an overview of what happened last night, and she could only stay in the ward now.

She was very concerned about Alfred.

Terrified, Serena got up from her chair and asked loudly, "Why didn't you call the police?"

"I'll call the police, and I'll need you to find out what's happened to Alfred now." Her only hope was Han,

who might have found Alfred.

Serena did not dare to delay a second; she drove to Lakeside Villa One immediately after the phone

call.

Lakeside Villa One was in a well-known wealthy area in Linkville, so the security system was naturally

the best. Serena was held up by the entrance. The security stepped forward and asked her to show her

identification card.

Serena took out her identification card, and the security guard asked her to register before entering.

Based on Leah's description, Serena found Han's villa. She was blocked at the gate by the bodyguard.

The bodyguard checked her out and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Mr. Howard."

"He's occupied at the moment; you should go back." The bodyguard drove her off the yard mercilessly.

Serena stomped her feet angrily, and she searched around the villa. She found an unlocked gate and

sneaked in. "Luckily, no one has seen me." She sighed out of relief, and she walked toward the villa.

Ha ha, the security of the Lakeside Villa One isn't as good as they said.

She lingered around carefully, but she did not see Alfred. She fumbled out her phone, and she was

about to call Leah.

"What are you doing here?" Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind.

Serena was frightened; she dropped her phone to the ground. Her phone's screen was shattered in

half.

She looked at her phone, then turned back and stared at the man behind her. "Don't you know it's very

rude to frighten people?"

Ben looked at Serena warily, and he questioned, "Who are you?"

Why haven't I seen this woman before in the villa?

She tried to calm him down, and she pushed him away. She ran toward the gate and said, "What does

it have to do with you?"

If she was caught now, it would mean that she was trespassing.

I can't be caught!

Ben came back to his senses, and he instantly yelled, "Catch this woman!"
