Chapter 769

Philip came to Wynn’s office. After experiencing the incident in the morning, Wynn was not affected at all. She still displayed the

persona of a Snow Queen, but from Philip’s perspective, he was keenly aware of a difference in her. Wynn’s eyes looked a bit

confused and absent, and she was also unable to concentrate whether she was looking at documents or reports. Sometimes, her

eyes would even linger on a page without moving.

This was unlike Wynn. Obviously, she was restless. Philip sat across from her and noticed her

expression clearly. He said, “Are you still thinking about what happened this morning?” Wynn shook her

head in firm denial. “Stop pretending. I can tell.” Philip suddenly felt that she was a little cute. She was

obviously very upset but still pretended to be calm. Why was she being so hard on herself? Wynn was

not Philip, so she would naturally take some time to digest everything. “You won’t be used to it at first.

That’s human nature. But you’ll get used to it later.” “Later?” Wynn frowned, not understanding what

Philip meant. Could this happen again? “Or else? Just think about it. The profits of this new anti-cancer

drug are unprecedentedly huge. There are more than a handful of people staring at Beacon as well as

big and small schemers. Do you think it’s going to be peaceful? That’s absolutely impossible.” “How

could this be…” Wynn mumbled under her breath. If she knew this was going to happen, the company

would not have studied any new anti-cancer drugs. If she had to live under such circumstances for the

rest of her life... Wynn’s scalp tingled just thinking about it! “But you don’t have to worry too much. I’m

here. Just continue to be Chairwoman Johnston safely and take care of the company. I’ll take care of

the other matters.” Wynn glanced at Philip, read the sense of security in his eyes, and said, “Thank

you, Phil. Let me buy you dinner.” “Buy me dinner?” “Mm.” “When?” “Tomorrow night.” For a moment, a

satisfied smile appeared on Philip’s face. “Sure, okay.” Philip pillowed his head on his arms, humming a

little tune with his leg propped. Wynn glanced at the cheerful Philip and said with contempt, “Are you

really that happy?” “Of course!” Philip said excitedly, “My wife is buying me dinner. Should I be crying

instead of laughing?” Wynn glanced at him and said, “Wipe your drool.” Philip was still basking in his

joy when he suddenly sat upright and said, “By the way, we still have one thing left to do.” “What is it?”

Looking at Philip’s solemn eyes, Wynn frowned slightly. She vaguely felt that something was wrong but

she could not pinpoint it exactly. “We have to continue the investigation.” Philip looked at Wynn with a

trace of severity in his eyes. He looked totally different from the carefree attitude he displayed just now.

At this time, Wynn recalled what Philip had said earlier.

In this incident, it was obvious that the other party came prepared, so it was impossible not to have a

backup plan. If the previous two assassins were only testing the waters, then it was very likely that

there was a third person hidden in the dark! If the third person chose to take action when Beacon

Group was negligent, things would end up very bad. “Start the investigation now? If someone is really

hiding in secret, won’t they have escaped already?” Wynn could not grasp Philip’s meaning. She

glanced at the time.

It was already after three in the afternoon. If Philip wanted to find the person hidden in the dark, why

did he not do it in the morning after the incident happened but waited until now? The ship had probably

sailed by now. “You don’t understand. This is a delaying tactic!” Philip continued to explain,

“Just think of it this way. If we started investigating in the morning, then the guy in the dark would probably choose to stop or

maybe even run away. But if we choose to relax our vigilance, then the guy in the dark will definitely choose the time to make

another move!” “What you said makes sense, but what should we do now?”
