“Heh, it’s fine. Even if Jiang Ran dies, as long as Mike doesn’t win, I’m relieved.”

The middle-aged uncle said coldly.

From this sentence, it’s not hard to see that he harbored extreme hatred toward the Diamond Bachelor.

He didn’t even care about himself anymore.

The live stream room was bustling with noise, very chaotic.

Strangely, the Diamond Bachelor, who had bet 30 million diamonds on Mike, did not say a single word in the live stream.

Indeed, she didn’t speak in the live stream.

But in reality, she was “speaking” loudly.

In the Diamond Bachelor’s princess suite, it was discovered that this young lady kept cursing nonstop and smashing things, causing the originally incredibly luxurious princess suite to almost turn into ruins.

The Diamond Bachelor was furious!

She never expected Mike would leave the apartment ahead of schedule.

Although if he returned before midnight tonight and continued to stay, it wouldn’t count as a loss yet.

But the hope was really slim.

“Die! All of you, just die!”

The young lady was already on the verge of madness.

...

Did Mike really just leave like that?

Did he leave the apartment?

Was he no longer going to take revenge on Robert?

No, Robert’s grudge definitely had to be settled.

But he didn’t intend to stay in the apartment to do so.

After failing to catch Robert last time and checking the surveillance—only to find it had been tampered with—he realized that it was basically impossible to find Robert inside the apartment. Someone was deliberately blocking him.

If that’s the case, then he’d leave the apartment and avoid the labyrinth set by others.

He had already scoped out a tall hotel outside the apartment building.

He would observe the entire apartment from the hotel.

He didn’t believe he couldn’t seize an opportunity.

Besides, his initial reason for coming to Alice Apartment was to investigate Zhou Wu and Zhou Wu’s father.

Though he had neither seen them alive nor found their bodies, information about them came from Bai Ze.

Bai Ze also couldn’t provide evidence to prove whether the two were really as he claimed.

But that no longer mattered.

He didn’t want to waste time proving it anymore.

Therefore, after settling in the tall hotel opposite Alice Apartment,

he made a phone call.

Zhou Yan, Li Miguo, and Jimmy.

The four met in a private room of a restaurant.

Since returning to China, Zhou Yan, Li Miguo, and Jimmy had put complete trust in Mike, handing over all tasks of finding her father and brother to him.

The three of them were busy having wild fun elsewhere.

Today, Mike’s sudden contact gave the three a premonition—he probably found Zhou Wu and Zhou Wu’s father, so he reached out.

At this moment, there were more than a dozen delicious dishes on the table in the private room.

But none of the four present seemed to have an appetite;

not a single chopstick moved.

Zhou Yan and the others were eager to know why Mike had contacted them.

Mike, however, had no appetite because of Robert.

Zhou Yan was the first to ask, “Mike, did you find my brother? And my dad?”

Mike nodded, then shook his head.

Zhou Yan didn’t understand what Mike meant.

Li Miguo seemed to understand and asked, “You found clues but haven’t found them in person yet?”

Li Miguo thought if they had been found, there should be two more people in this private room.

Mike was straightforward and disliked beating around the bush.

His previous actions and words had shown that.

Therefore, he directly revealed the answer:

“I did investigate your dad and brother, but it’s very bad news.”

“Your dad and your brother—they’re already dead.”

“Dead?!”

After hearing this, Zhou Yan’s tone skyrocketed as she sat up in shock from her chair.

Li Miguo’s reaction was similar, though not as strong since they were not his own brother and father.

“Yes, they’re dead.”

Mike sighed.

Zhou Yan slowly sat down and after a while, asked absentmindedly, “How did they die?”

Mike: “They were killed.”

Zhou Yan’s eyes widened. “Who killed them?”

Mike said, “Someone from Alice Apartment.”

Zhou Yan: “I’m asking specifically who?!”

Mike said, “What good does knowing do? Can you take revenge?”

Zhou Yan: “I can report them to the police and have them arrested!”

Mike shook his head and then said:

“That’s useless. Reporting it to the police won’t help. From when your mom reported them missing before, you should’ve realized this isn’t that simple.”

“Zhou Yan, what I’m about to say might not be what you want to hear, but this is my advice.”

“For the brother and father you’re looking for, just accept that they’re already dead.”

“Focus on living your own life.”

“As for revenge, don’t even think about it. You don’t have that ability.”

“There’s a deep secret hidden behind that Alice Apartment. Knowing it won’t do you any good, so let’s just leave it at that.”

“Leave it at that?!”

Zhou Yan sneered, “Fine, Mike, since my brother and dad were killed, where are their bodies now? They should at least be buried properly, right?!”

Mike said, “They’ve long been gone, disposed of by the murderer.”

Zhou Yan: “Oh, in that case, do you have any evidence to prove that my brother and dad really died? That they were killed? Physical or testimonial evidence?”

Mike’s eyes turned cold. “Are you suspecting I’m lying, making up stories to deceive you?”

Zhou Yan sneered, “I just want proof that my brother and dad are really dead. Otherwise, I can’t believe just anyone’s word. Otherwise, I’d suspect you’re scamming my money.”

Mike remained silent for a long time.

After a while, he said, “I’m sorry. I have no evidence.”

“Of course, I’m not making up stories to deceive you.”

“It’s also because I can’t provide evidence that from the start I didn’t intend to ask you for payment. Even if you offered it, I would return it to you. As for airfare and lodging, you don’t need to pay either.”

“Our contract ends here.”

After saying this, Mike stood up and was about to leave.

Zhou Yan and the others were stunned.

Wait, why are you running away?

You don’t want the money?

“Mike!”

Jimmy chased after him.

When Jimmy and Mike left the private room,

Zhou Yan turned to her boyfriend Li Miguo and erupted angrily.

“Look at you! What kind of trash detective did you find?! Tenth best in Miguo? I think he’s the absolute worst!!!”

“He said my brother and dad are dead, but he can’t even provide proof!!!”

Li Miguo felt wronged. Actually, it wasn’t him who hired Mike but his classmate and friend Jimmy.

He could only comfort Zhou Yan.

After about ten minutes, Jimmy returned.

Upon Jimmy’s return, Zhou Yan expected him to apologize, after all, what kind of trash detective did he find?!

But Jimmy opened his mouth with:

“I just talked with Mike.”

“I’ve known Mike a long time. His character and reputation are impeccable.”

“Your brother and dad are definitely dead, even though he can’t produce evidence.”

“Before he left, he warned us.”

Zhou Yan asked irritably, “What did he say?”

Jimmy said, “If you want to stay alive, stay far away from Alice Apartment.”
