Chapter 780 The Boss Runs Away
When Nie Yao took Steve out of the living room and went to another room, bodyguards Jiashan and Kerry came upstairs together and said respectfully, "Mr. Li, we're back!"
"Have you found out the background of the perfume shop owner?" Mr. Li asked in a deep voice.
"There's nothing wrong with what he said. His fragrance shop has a long history in the local area, and several generations have been engaged in the fragrance industry..."
Bodyguard Jiashan nodded and explained in a low voice.
"Really? So he didn't lie?" Li Jinxing raised his eyebrows slightly.
"He probably didn't lie about the perfume shop, but..." Bodyguard Jiashan stopped talking here.
"But what?"
"Just now, Kerry and I drove to Pyramid Street specifically to take another look at that fragrance shop and observe the owner's movements, but we found that the fragrance shop was closed!"
"Closed?" Li Jinxing wasn't too surprised. He said calmly, "His shop was disrupted by gunfire last night, and he needs to find someone to repair it. It's not surprising that it's closed!"
"That being said, it doesn't look like they're closing just for door repairs!" Bodyguard Jiashan shook her head and said seriously, "There's a sign up saying the store is closed and they'll be notified when it reopens!"
At this moment, bodyguard Kerry took over his companion's words and added solemnly, "That's right. Later, I asked around at a few neighboring stores, and they said the owner of the fragrance store closed up shop and left early in the morning, dragging his suitcase with him!"
"Leaving with the suitcase?" Li Jinxing frowned slightly upon hearing this and asked thoughtfully, "So he didn't intend to repair it, but instead looked like he was running away?"
"That's right!" Bodyguard Jiashan nodded and whispered, "Kerry and I have been looking into the situation. They all say this boss has a weird personality and doesn't like chatting with other bosses. Sometimes he's open late at night, and sometimes he closes before sunset. But someone once saw a lot of people hanging around in the store after it closed. I don't know what they're doing, they're so mysterious..."
"It seems that there is indeed something fishy about this perfume shop owner!" Li Jinxing's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he murmured in a low voice: "If his identity is really problematic, then the cup of tea he gave to Yaoyao might also be problematic..."
"Mr. Li, do you think Miss Nie's sudden deep sleep might be related to that cup of tea? Did the boss drug Miss Nie?"
Bodyguard Jiashan spoke hesitantly. Li Jinxing was about to answer when Nie Yao came out with a notebook and Steve.
"What are you talking about drugging?" Nie Yao didn't hear their complete words, but vaguely heard something about drugging, and asked in confusion.
Bodyguards Jiashan and Keli subconsciously looked at Li Jinxing and did not dare to speak rashly.
Li Jinxing didn't want Nie Yao to worry, so he shook his head and smiled faintly, "There's no drugging involved. I just told Jiashan and Keli to be more cautious..."
Nie Yao nodded and said in agreement, "That's right. What happened last night shows that the area around us is not safe. There are probably spies of those criminals everywhere, and it's hard to guard against them. So we have to be vigilant ourselves!"
