BXBX NOVEL Chapter 497: Secret Behind The Suicide
" Ah, It was really a minor problem, You know?" Jun Ronghua sighed. " Some fucker did some mistake and a shipment of mine got lost, costing me a few hundred million dollars."
" That's…small?" Jun Tianyun's lips twitched when he heard that. Jun Ronghua pursed her lips as she looked at him.
" Well, Xiao Jun, You are talking like that's too much for you, hm?"
" Not really." Jun Tianyun chuckled. " Just habitual reaction. Few hundred million dollars is still a pretty huge sum, no?"
" Yeah, so I killed a person, who was in charge."
" HOW DID THAT ESCALATE TO MURDER?"
Jun Ronghua flinched when she saw Jun Tianyun's odd expression. " Well, I didn't kill him…Personally, at least."
" It's just when I threatened to sue him for his mistake, he couldn't endure and just jumped from the building." Jun Ronghua snorted.
"All the evidence was against him, but he kept pleading. Pathetic bastard."
" Sister Maria, Can you get the family information for him?" Jun Tianyun turned around and looked at Maria. Maria dazed for a moment before opening her tablet, searching for a moment.
" Mr.Collin Smith has been working for our shipment company Seawind for the last ten years. In record, he was rather loyal and dutiful."
" However, with the recent shipment loss, he was scrutinized. And as a result, we unearthed a lot of corruption beneath his name across the past few years."
" As Lady Jane confronted him, he begged for mercy. However, after hearing some harsh words, he jumped from the building and died."
Jun Ronghua shrugged. " I mean, if you can't hear some harsh words from your boss, aren't you a soft-ass bitch?"
" Do you really believe a person who worked for you for over a decade will just jump down from the building just because you said some harsh words?" Jun Tianyun asked with a huff.
" I don't know. I just turned and left." Jun Ronghua spoke as she recalled." I was just a floor below before I saw something falling from above. When I looked at the ground, I saw a bloody splatter."

" What if someone mind controlled him?" Jun Tianyun proposed an idea. However, Maria shook her head.
" Mental power mutants and magic users are very rare. Not to mention, each of our company installed energy detectors at our entrances."
" If any special category human or living being enters our building, it will be registered automatically in our system." Maria explained.
" For now, there are only ten of them working in the company and seven of them are in the security and mission teams. The remaining three work in the head office. None of them has such abilities."
" What about the victim? Any family?"
" He has a daughter who is studying in another state. Rachel Smith, 24 years old. Highly academic and beautiful."
Jun Tianyun facepalmed himself when he heard that. ' Fuck, Here we go again.'
" What happened, Xiao Jun?" Jun Ronghua raised her brows. " You look unusually worried."
" Haha, You think someone can harm me? Absurd."
Jun Tianyun heard Jun Ronghua's arrogant tone as he shook his head.
' Oh Big Sister, even if you have such great strength, how can you fight against the machination of fate?'
" Sister Maria, Can you arrange something for me?" Jun Tianyun looked at Maria. " I wish to see the corpse of Mr. Smith."
" That…It can be arranged."
Jun Ronghua became slightly annoyed. " Xiao Jun, If he died, then he died. Our company will give compensation to his family. Why are you interested in it?"
" Big Sister, try to understand." Jun Tianyun shook his head. " Whatever I am doing, I am doing for your own good."
" Sister Maria, let's go."
" Xiao Jun!"
Jun Ronghua stomped her feet as she saw Jun Tianyun walking out with Maria. Biting her nails she fell on the sofa.
" Hmph! It's your fault, Xiao Jun! I wanted to spend time with you before…"
"Never mind, Let it be a surprise for you."

As they drove to the hospital, Maria looked at Jun Tianyun. " I understand that for Young Master, death is…"
" You think I care about a man because he committed suicide?" Jun Tianyun stared at Maria. " I care neither about him, nor about his family. They can go to hell for my care."
" The only person I care about is my Elder Sister."
" But what could happen to her?" Maria was skeptical. " You know Miss Jane is…"
" Do you know, Sister Maria?" Jun Tianyun looked at the hospital ahead. " A flap of a butterfly can create a raging storm in a thousand miles away?"
" This world is completely chaotic. However, there is still order within that chaos. Each step we take today defines our future destination."
" And, I don't want to take a risk in it."
Maria bit her lips as she understood Jun Tianyun's intent. She nodded. " I understand, Young Master. Let's go in."
As they contacted the medical authorities, the doctor soon took Maria and Jun Tianyun to the morgue.
" Miss Maria, Mr. Jonathan, here is the body of Mr. Collin."
The body was badly damaged and the skull was crushed, leaking the brain matter out. However, Jun Tianyun didn't flinch a bit.
Taking out his Heavenly Luopan, he looked at the corpse with a radiant gaze.
' Ugh, Only if my powers weren't sealed, I would have used the Throne of Fate instantly. But now, I have to do things manually.'
' Looking at the corpse, it's perfect to say that Collin Smith jumped of his own accord. No one pushed him.'
' Aha! There it is…'
Jun Tianyun noticed a faint string of malevolent purple color, which rested on the head of the corpse.
The needle of the compass spun rapidly as Jun Tianyun seemed to hold that string. His Eyes of Fortune shone as the reality before him slowly turned dizzy.
Images flashed in his mind as he seemed to experience what Collin felt at that moment.
At first, he wanted to explain everything to Jun Ronghua. However, at that moment, he saw a flash of purple radiance.
" Such a disgraceful bastard. You hoarded money and now want to explain?"
" Why live such a shameful life? Better jump from there and die."
Jun Tianyun's eyes snapped open as he looked at the corpse. Putting down his luopan, he turned around and looked at Maria.
" We are leaving."
Maria simply nodded and followed him out. As they got outside, Jun Tianyun sighed for a moment.
" As I expected, the matter was more complex."
" You understood?" Maria was stunned. In her eyes, all Jun Tianyun did was take out his antique compass and stare at the corpse. How could he understand anything?
" It's a magical treasure." Jun Tianyun sighed. " Someone used a magical treasure to induce suicidal thoughts in Collin's heart."
" He was very stressed at that time. Therefore, even the slightest induction caused him to commit suicide."
" Magical treasure?" Maria was surprised, but she nodded. " It's possible. After all, our energy detectors might not be able to detect magical treasures."
" However, who it could be?"
" A gold ring with a purple stone on it." Jun Tianyun closed his eyes as he spoke.
" Search for a person named Hester. He should have a fairly high position in the Seawind company. He should have such a ring."
" Also, compile the information and send it to Rachel Smith." Jun Tianyun thought for a moment before looking at Maria.
" Tell her that our company is handling this task for her. If she feels powerless, We can take action against her behalf."
" But no matter what, her father's death shall be avenged."
Maria couldn't understand why Jun Tianyun helping Rachel so much. However, she simply nodded. " I shall do what you say, Young Master."
" Very well. Since our work is done, let's go back." Jun Tianyun smiled as he stretched his arms.
" Ugh, I need a good sleep tonight."

" Damn it! Are you crazy?"
" All our stolen goods! It's gone!"
" Even the cash from our safe is gone!"
A bulky man smashed a pot on the ground. " Fuck, Who dares steal our gang money?"
Unknown to him, a black shadow hiding outside of the window.
The black latex body suit blended in the darkness, yet it outlined a curvaceous woman's figure. The cat mask hid the face of the woman as she eavesdroped.
' Serves you right, bastards!'
Turning into a blur, she disappeared, holding a giant sack which filled with many things. Not long after, she put all the cash in a bag and appeared before an orphanage.
Ringing the bell, the woman disappeared once again.
The door opened as an elderly nun saw the bag. Opening it, she was stunned to see the stacks of cash.
" God's blessing! Truly a blessing of the lord." The nun cried as she hugged the bag.
Turning around, she announced.
" No need to worry. We shall pay the mortgage. This orphanage won't be sold."
The woman smiled as she looked at the joyous atmosphere of the orphanage from outside. However, at that moment, her phone rang.
" Rachel, Your father…He is no more."
