After closing the door for the last time, Charles leaned against the wall at the entrance and took off his shoes. When he saw Daniel walking down the stairs, he immediately smiled warmly and said, "Are you awake?"
"Nonsense!" Daniel walked up to him with a cold face, looked him up and down, and asked in a questioning tone, "Where have you been so early in the morning?"
"Is it early? The sun is shining on your butt." Charles replied casually, then leaned over and hugged Daniel's waist, saying with a playful smile, "What's the matter, do you miss me?"
I don’t know why, but Charles’ move of deliberately changing the subject caused a burst of inexplicable resistance from Daniel.
He put away Charles' hand in disgust and asked with a hint of sullenness: "You haven't told me where you have been."
Charles suddenly raised his eyebrows in confusion and looked into Daniel's eyes with complexity.
From his eyes, Charles saw a completely different alienation and rejection than before.
Vaguely feeling that something was wrong, Charles simply ignored Daniel's reaction, bypassed him, and answered absentmindedly as he walked upstairs: "Going to meet a friend."
Daniel immediately chased after him, followed behind him, and asked angrily: "Didn't you say you don't have any relatives or friends here?"
"Knock, knock, knock" footsteps hurriedly stepped on the wooden stairs.
Without looking back, Charles calmly answered the question of the person behind him: "Shouldn't I have friends after living so long?"
While they were talking, Charles successfully reached the second floor. He raced against time and walked into his room. When he saw the closed wardrobe beside the door, his heart suddenly froze.
Although Charles usually seems carefree, he is meticulous about some matters that are so important that no one knows.
He specially glued a small pencil lead on the left side of the two opening doors of his wardrobe. When the door is opened, a small part of the pencil lead will be automatically broken off by the opened door.
Usually when he opens the closet, he will deliberately avoid opening the door on the left, because there is a hidden compartment under the left side of the closet where he hides his leather bag.
When he sensed something was wrong, Charles immediately turned around and walked out of the room, just in time to bump into Daniel who was following him.
Daniel exclaimed and stumbled back. Fortunately, Charles had quick eyesight and quickly grabbed his waist.
When Daniel could not recover from the panic, Charles suddenly asked out of the blue: "Have you entered my room today?"
Suddenly startled, Daniel looked into his eyes seriously while being slowly straightened up by Charles.
A few seconds later, Daniel coughed dryly and explained somewhat narrowly: "I couldn't see you when I woke up, so I just looked around."
After saying that, he turned his eyes, immediately picked up the topic, and asked mysteriously: "Why are you so nervous? Are you worried that I will find out your secret?"
"Haha, I've even seen my most secret place, so there's nothing to worry about." Charles teased, but his smile had a special purpose of concealing it.
Daniel took a small step back and looked at him suspiciously, as if he wanted to see some clues of lying in Charles' eyes.
Of the two of them, one had a smile in his eyes, but the other was wary.
The atmosphere condensed.
They both knew very well that something that might happen was about to happen.
Just when Daniel wanted to speak, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Hearing the alarm-like ringing tone, Charles raised his chin and motioned for Daniel to answer the phone first.
After Daniel glanced at him, he took out his cell phone.
After seeing the number displayed on the phone, his eyes suddenly sharpened.
He raised his cell phone towards Charles: "I'm going to answer the phone, and I'll settle the score with you later!"
Charles nodded and watched Daniel enter the room.
When Daniel closed the door, Charles immediately turned around and walked into his room, closed the door, locked it, and then immediately walked to the closet.
He opened the secret compartment in the closet, and sure enough, when he saw that the location and appearance of the leather bag were different from where he had placed it before, he knew that his things had been tampered with.
Suddenly a chilling and cold look appeared in his eyes. After closing the secret compartment, Charles immediately took out the phone.
…
…………
"Hello!"
As if he was deliberately hiding the content of his conversation, he locked himself in the bathroom and kept his voice very low.
"How's it going? Did you find anything?"
On the other end of the phone, the woman's voice was full of arrogance and confidence.
"What do you want to say?" Daniel looked unhappy.
From the tone of the other party, it seemed that she was very sure that he would secretly investigate Charles' things. It seemed that she had control over everything he did.
The feeling of being insecure instantly surrounded Daniel, and he seemed to be lost for a moment.
He thought that what he saw was what he saw, and the truth should be like this. But when Jessica appeared today, he realized that he had been fooled by the lies of her and Charles.
As if he could hear the unkindness in Daniel's tone, the other party simply got to the point and said seriously: "Daniel, listen, if you want to know the truth of the matter, hand Charles over to the headquarters for processing. I guess, except for Colin,
No one outside the country knows about Charles, so you must not hand Charles over to Colin. You'd better hand over Charles in front of everyone, so that..."
"You don't need to teach me how to do things." Daniel interrupted the other party and continued coldly, "As a member of CNM, I will definitely handle business affairs. If Charles really has any evil intentions,
I will not bend the law for personal gain. Let me clarify the matter first!"
"Ha..." A teasing chuckle came from the other party, "Are you able to do this? Don't you like him?"
