Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 120 Painstaking Investigations Bringing a Glimmer of Hope



“Yes, she’s quite cool and harsh,” Stella Grace said with a smile as she looked at Mina Hadley.

Mina nimbly navigated the room, removing the other party’s surveillance cameras while installing their own plus anti-surveillance equipment.

“Don’t worry. Number 1666 is an all-rounder. If you have anything that needs to be done, you can let her do it,” Jasper Milton whispered.

“Okay, I know.” Stella answered and walked to the hanging garden.

“Don’t look for anyone from the Inspection Institution when you are investigating. I suspect that someone in the institution is colluding with them,” Jasper said suspiciously.

“I have suspects. Eden and Lena. They’ve been prying at us all the way here.”

“It’s normal if they pry. After all, you and Mina were too abrupt. They will worry about themselves. I think the director is the one who has a problem. I gave you a team. Just tell number 1666, she will contact them.”

Stella’s heart softened when she heard that.

He wrote on the wooden token that he would protect her.

It seemed that he had always protected her.

“Where are you now?” Stella asked gently.

“In the city next to where you are. I have already told the Director Fellow of the military force, and he will be your backup. Whatever you want to do, don’t worry, just go all out and do it. You always have me.”

“You have to be careful too. Your mother said that you’re taking on a dangerous mission. I’m worried about you.”

“Oh, it’s not considered a dangerous mission. It’s within my job scope. Do you still remember the soldier without legs?” Jasper asked.

“Yes I remember. He’s the one whose wife wants a divorce.”

“He was injured in a drill. There were many people who were injured that time, but he was the most seriously injured. I investigated for a long time and found the person who sold this batch of arms. We are negotiating now.”noveldrama

Stella listened and felt that what he was doing was much more dangerous than hers. She said, “Don’t let anything happen to you. If something happens to you, I won’t live.”

Jasper chuckled and said, “Well, with you here, I can’t bear to let anything happen to me.”

Stella’s face was blushing.

They were both trying hard, and this feeling was also quite nice. “Then I’ll do my work first. All the best.”

“All the best. I’ll come to see you in two days.” Jasper’s tone became mellow.

“No, it will be terrible if your parents and Katty know about this. I can afford to wait for two years.” Stella was worried about him and herself. She could feel a faint pain at the severed part of her little finger.

If they found out about them again, it might not be as simple as a severed finger anymore.

Jasper’s eyes darkened, and he hung up the phone.

“Chief!” Lieutenant Johnson said.

Jasper closed his eyes. “Continue.”

The special effects make-up artist continued to stick his beard on him.

In the afternoon,

Stella Grace and Mina Hadley went to the Inspection Institution.

She was browsing through the cases that had been handled by the Inspection Institution in recent years.

Most of them were small economic cases.

They kept an eye on some state-owned enterprises. Every year, they would catch a few people and complete their performance indicators.

These cases did not provide her any practical help.

“Where are the report letters? Show me the letters from this year.” Stella looked at Sheena Zane, the Commander of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Sheena’s assistant brought a pile of letters over .

Stella and Mina flipped through the pages.

Most of them were trivial things. Some reported their neighbors stealing their electric cables, some reported their best friends stealing their men, and some reported their supervisors asking them to work overtime.

Stella finished scanning through the letter in two hours and then looked at Sheena. “That’s all?”

“That’s all. In fact, our Sun City is quite peaceful. We don’t have any big corruption cases or major issues,” Sheena said with a smile.

“Don’t be facetious,” Mina said in a harsh voice.

Sheena looked at Mina, her face sunken and livid.

Stella smiled slightly and said, “It’s a good thing that there is no big issue. You want to complete your performance index, we also need to complete ours. We’re just afraid that the civilians might feel indignant and dare not speak up. How about this, Commander. Please place an anonymous report box at every market in Sun City starting tomorrow, okay?”

“That’s not a good idea. It’ll make people panic,” Sheena refused.

“Don’t talk nonsense. Just do as you are told. We are now benefiting the civilians, what are you talking about? If you refuse to cooperate with us, you’re probably the one with a problem.” Mina scolded.

Sheena was really indignant but dared not say anything. “Well, let’s do as you say.”

Stella was worried that the Inspection Institution would stop the citizens from reporting.

She went to every community in person and asked them to fill in the forms. There were guards in the vicinity of each report box to protect them.

The tasks of collecting the letters were all done personally.

In a day, there were more than a thousand letters.

She and Mina dealt with it, and filtered those with problems out.

“Inspector Grace, look at this letter. It says that the mayor of Sun City colluded with a developer to tear down their village to dig for treasure,” Mina said.

Stella took the letter from Mina.

“We finally found it. As expected, there is indeed something wrong with Lionel. He works as a mayor here, and his purpose is to excavate antiques, then sell them or collect them. He rakes in money from those. Previously, the homicide of the director of the cultural centre may also have something to do with these matters,” Stella analyzed.

“Now, are we going to conduct a search on Lionel’s house directly?” Mina asked.

“It is impossible that he would keep them at home. Not only we can’t find anything, but we will also alert the enemy. Continue looking, after getting solid evidence, then we can go a step further.”

“Knock knock knock.” The sound of someone knocking on the door could be heard.

Mina opened the door.

Lena Yard came in with two cups of milk tea and asked Stella with a smile, “Do you need my help?”

“No, thanks. You go to do your job,” Mina said in a serious tone. She was about to close the door.

“Some milk tea, I bought them specially for both of you.” Lena placed the milk tea on the table, glanced at the table, and left.

Mina closed the door and threw the milk tea into the trash can. “It’s clearly a guilty conscience.”

“Mina, how would you join the antiques trading business?” Stella wondered.

“Okay.”

“We can’t go out. Now we’re being watched. Let your comrades-in-arms help us.” Stella ordered.

“Yes.”

Stella Grace had been busy for five days, as there were many report letters. She drew a mind map according to the contents of the letter.

There was an archaeological team under Lionel Lausanne. They were researching the history and culture of Sun City, looking for possible ruins.

Ecocity Building Company was a construction company closely connected with Lionel.

Lionel sold the land that might be a possible ruin to this construction company at a normal price.

This construction company was supposedly developing the area, but actually was secretly unearthing cultural treasures.

Could it be that the treasure map of Tavers Village was located in Sun City?

Stella returned to the hotel with doubts. Mina said that she was going to buy some clothes.

As soon as she returned to her room, she was grabbed by a strong arm.

Before she could react, Jasper leaned over and kissed her on the lips…
