Chapter 21 Administrative Detention
Why did the property management come here in the middle of the night? Culbert squinted at the peephole and saw a security guard standing outside.
Culbert opened the door and frowned, "What are you doing?"
The policemen hiding on both sides immediately stood out and showed their police cards to Culbert. "Mr. Yang. We are policemen from the Public Security Bureau of the Capital City. You are under investigation according to an anonymous tip-off."
"Me? Are you mistaken?" Culbert's face darkened.
"Let's go inside and have a talk. After all, you're a public figure. It's not good for you if others see it."
Culbert didn't answer the policeman's question. He covered his face with his hands and sighed helplessly. He knew he was doomed.
Muriel hid nearby. After a period of time, she saw with her own eyes that Culbert was taken away by the police, and then Muriel left this place.
She went back to the dormitory. She was thirsty. She opened the kettle and found that there was no water left. It would take some time to boil some water.
Muriel stepped forward and put her hand on the tap. She was going to drink the raw water directly. She had drunk stream water when she was training, not to mention raw water. However, at this moment, Richard's worried face appeared in her mind. If Richard knew that she drank raw water from the tap, he would definitely blame her.
After hesitating for a while, she turned around, picked up the kettle and connected it to the power supply. Sitting aside, she looked at the kettle and smiled, "What's wrong with me?"
In the building of XR Group, Victor took a look at Richard, who was still working, and then looked at his watch. He cleared his throat and said, "Sir... It's getting late. Don't you get off work? Richard glanced at the lower right corner of the computer screen and continued to read the documents. "I have something to deal with. You can get off work first."
Hearing the order that he could get off work, Victor raised his eyebrows and bowed happily. "Okay, I'm off work now."
Victor couldn't wait to leave the chairman's office and carefully closed the door. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My holy mom, finally off duty."
When the patrol guard passed by and saw Victor, he couldn't help laughing. "You are not off duty yet?"
"Well, well, I'm going home now."
"It's so hard for you to have such a boss!" The security guard lowered his voice and asked curiously, "You are so busy every day. How much is your salary for a month? Have you saved enough? When it came to salary, David immediately felt refreshed. He raised his head, straightened his chest and nodded with a smile. "I've already saved enough money. I've signed a confidential agreement on my salary. I can't tell you."
"What? 'a secret agreement?'? You can't tell others your salary? Really? Why didn't I see this in the contract?" The security guard looked at Victor suspiciously, "Are you lying to me?" "Why should I lie to you?" Victor shook his head and said, "No, I have to find a place to have midnight snack."
After Victor and the security guard left, the top floor of XR Group fell into silence again. After a long time, Richard finally finished dealing with all the documents. He opened the drawer and put something in it. When he saw a covered photo.
Richard's tired eyebrows relaxed at once. He reached out and picked up the photo, looking at the woman in the photo with infinite tenderness in his eyes.
After a while, he picked up his phone and wanted to call the person in the photo. But it was late now and Richard didn't want to disturb her rest, so he had to put down his phone. Richard gently put the photo in the drawer, as if it was a treasure, unwilling to wrinkle it.
Carrying his briefcase, Richard took the exclusive elevator downstairs. He didn't expect that the elevator would stop at the tenth floor. The elevator door opened and a female employee in uniform was very happy. Soon, a sad expression appeared on her face again. She said anxiously, "I'm sorry, Boss. I didn't mean to press your exclusive elevator. I'm not feeling well and want to go to the hospital to have a look. The other two elevators haven't arrived yet, so I stopped this one. Can I... "
Richard said indifferently, "Come in."
With the permission of Richard, the woman immediately entered the exclusive elevator for the chairman. She covered her stomach with her hand and looked at the mysterious elevator curiously. The decoration of the elevator was completely different from that of the employees.
She withdrew her sight and pretended to groan in pain. Richard stood aside calmly and didn't even look at her.
The woman was not reconciled. She did not expect that Richard would be so indifferent. It was her last chance when the elevator arrived at the first floor.
The woman weakly bowed to Richard and thanked him. As soon as she walked out, she immediately fell on Richard.
Richard, who had been motionless all the time, finally moved. Instead of supporting the falling woman, he took a step forward. The woman didn't lean against Richard, and her head directly hit the elevator with a dull thud.
The security guards on duty in the lobby of the first floor ran over as soon as they heard the noise. When they saw Richard and a strange woman in the same elevator, they looked at each other, as if they were doomed to bump into the chairman's secret by accident.
The captain of security guards was calm. He frowned and asked, "Mr. Xu, what's wrong?"
"This employee said that she was not feeling well and wanted to take my elevator. Now she hit the elevator because of her weakness." Richard said coldly, "Take her to the hospital to see if she is uncomfortable. Besides, check the surveillance video to see if she really can't wait for other elevators. Then, check if this elevator is damaged by her head. Sort out the repair list and give it to me tomorrow." Hearing Richard's series of orders, the woman who leaned against the elevator looked very pale. She swallowed and said, "Mr. Xu, I didn't..."
They were not surprised at all that some woman wanted to create an encounter with Richard on purpose. Seeing the impatience on his face, several security guards hurriedly helped the woman out and sent her to the hospital.
The elevator door closed again. Richard went to the underground parking lot and drove home. The next day, someone heard that Culbert was arrested and immediately exposed it on micro-blog. The capital police also released a notice to confirm this matter. In an instant, the news spread wildly.
As soon as the news came out, in order to save Culbert's public image, his agency apologized to the public.
Director Quentin was furious when he saw the news. He walked on the set and scolded, "Yesterday afternoon, you were still playing a best actor. Today, such news came out. What a scum!"
"Director Quentin, what should we do now? The scene of Mr. Black just started shooting." The deputy director asked anxiously.
Yesterday was the first day Culbert joined the cast, and he didn't shoot much at all. Now that Culbert was detained for fifteen days, the shooting progress was delayed.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
