The man sighed. He bent down to pick up the gun parts scattered on the ground and said, "She is a member of the Huo family, so it would be easy for her to find out about the Earl's residence. Instead of doing that, she might as well take the initiative to tell us."
When the others heard this, they instantly fell silent.
Taking the initiative to tell them would at least give them a chance to live. Although they were loyal to the Earl, they had to keep their lives.
"Also, don't mention a word about what happened today. If the Earl asks about it, just tell him that the Huo family is well-protected, so we couldn't do anything," instructed the man.
He did not know why the girl had given him such a warning. But if he wanted to live, he could only choose to protect himself.
Before long, the group went back to report.
Earl Murray's secretary had been in charge of capturing Huo Yao. When the secretary heard that they had failed, his face scrunched up. "What's the point of keeping you people around if you can't even do such a simple thing?"
"I'm sorry. The Huo family has arranged for someone to follow her, so we couldn't find a chance to make a move."
The secretary rubbed his forehead. He did not doubt his subordinate's words. He contemplated before he said, "Keep looking for opportunities to catch her."
"Sure."
The secretary's phone rang. He raised his hand to signal his subordinate to keep quiet before he picked up the call.
It was the detective he had sent to investigate the girlfriend of the man in the Weapons Bureau.
The two of them hung up after exchanging a few words. Then, the secretary received an email from the detective on her phone.
He clicked on the email.
The secretary suddenly straightened up. Even the expression on his face changed.
How could this be?
Why was this girl the girlfriend of the man in the Weapons Bureau?
How could she be a member of the Huo family?
The secretary's head was buzzing. He recalled what the Earl had instructed him to do, so he hurriedly called the detective. "Are you sure the email you sent me is correct?"
The detective was a member of the Investigation Bureau in M State, so he had access to information. He frowned when he heard the secretary's question. "If you think there's something wrong with the information, you can get someone else to look into it. But I don't think it'll make any difference even if you go to our chief."
The secretary sensed the discomfort in the detective's voice, so he explained. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to question you. It's just that the information is surprising."
Who would have thought that the person the Earl was trying to befriend would be someone Mr. Fan wanted? Moreover, the Huo family had always been at odds with the Earl's residence?
It seemed like an absurd coincidence.
The secretary hung up the phone with a headache.
The earl was still trying to figure out a way to buy the weapons last night. He wanted to use this opportunity to befriend Chief Min's mysterious girlfriend to achieve his goal, but now it seemed that this path would be a little difficult.
The secretary clutched her phone and pondered over something. She raised her head and looked at her subordinates who had yet to leave. "By the way, were you discovered by the Huo family today?"
The man's heart skipped a beat. He clenched his fists nervously, but he quickly shook his head calmly. "No."
Anyway, there was no surveillance in the old market. As long as they didn't say anything, the secretary would never know what happened today.
The secretary heaved a sigh of relief. "Alright, I got it. You can go now."
If he hadn't offended anyone, there might still be room for him to turn things around.
The subordinate glanced at the secretary carefully, bit his lip, and finally walked out without saying anything.
The secretary did not notice his strange behavior. He got up and prepared to go to the Count's mansion to report this matter to Murray.
