It was drizzling today, and it seemed that it wasn't going to stop soon.
As the night fell, the city was lit up by the lights of the buildings. The drizzling rain looked like a mysterious veil covering the city.
Karen Joy Kyle sat on the sofa in front of the French window with a laptop. She was exploring the background of Coast City, the background of the former Presidents of Country A, and who Brother Lionel's biggest rival was before he got the position as President.
This morning, when Brother Lionel's car tires exploded, she knew that there was something more to the story.
After leaving the hospital, she wanted to check on the matter, but she couldn't find anything by herself.
At this crucial moment, Karen Joy thought of the three people that her father had arranged for her- The White family.
Since her father had asked the three of them to help her in Coast City, then she knew that these three people must not be ordinary people. She could ask them for help.
Karen Joy immediately called them and asked them to help her investigate the matter.
They promised to give her the information tonight, so while she was waiting for the news, she was browsing through information about Coast City on the Internet.
Coast City was an extremely foreign city to Karen Joy. However, it was the place where Brother Lionel was born and where he grew up.
Maybe because she felt more connected with Brother Lionel, Karen Joy had lived here for less than a month, and she felt like home already, as if she had been here before.
Perhaps when she was very young, Brother Lionel often told her stories about this place, including stories about his hometown. She remembered these details fondly.
Buzz, buzz-
Her phone suddenly rang. Karen Joy picked it up and found that it was Fanny White's phone number. She answered it immediately. "Auntie Fanny, have you discovered anything?"
Fanny said, "Miss, I'm sorry! We were one step too late. Mr. President's men cleaned up the scene earlier, and they also erased all evidence of the car."
"Why did they erase the evidence?" Karen Joy thought for a bit, but she didn't completely understand what was going on.
Could it be that the person who caused the tire explosion was the same person Brother Lionel sent to investigate the matter?
It was unlikely.
If it was really the same person, the person who did this would put himself in a very suspicious position.
Someone who would dare to harm Mr. President would never be so dumb, otherwise, he would not live long.
"Miss, it is very likely that Mr. President already knew who did it, so he asked his men to destroy the evidence. Or the person who did it was too shrewd and didn't leave any clues for us to investigate." Fanny explained further, and her attitude was very respectful.
"Auntie Fanny, which one do you think is more likely?" Karen Joy had no experience dealing with this kind of thing, but she knew she should listen to the opinion of her elders.
Fanny responded, "Miss, in my opinion, it would be impossible for the people who did the work to not leave a single trace. There must always be something."
"Alright, Auntie Fanny." Karen Joy nodded and said politely, "Thank you for helping me so much today."
Fanny added, "Miss, the three of us are honored to do these things for you. Please don't be shy to ask us for help in the future."
"Well then, I shall remember that. Please don't address me as Miss. Please call me Karen Joy." Karen Joy smiled and said, "That's settled then, Auntie Fanny. Goodbye!"
Fanny was an elder, so Karen Joy spoke to her in a polite manner. She had always been respectful and knew how to socialize well.
After hanging up the phone, Karen Joy didn't have the mood to look for any more information. Her mind was all about today's incident.
After this incident, she was more aware of the reason why Brother Lionel did not want to reconcile with her and see her in public.
