My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175 

“Hold on…” 

Just as they were about to escort Angelica out, Nash suddenly spoke up. 

The two male patrollers paused slightly, then looked toward Henderson. 

Henderson was also confused, but he did not dare to defy Nash and gestured for the two to let go. 

Nash looked at the sealed bag in Angelica’s hand and asked, “Did you find it at the Lewis family’s estate?” 

Angelica gratefully glanced at Nash and then nodded while saying, “Yes… This is a highly explosive black-tech detonator. Although small in size, it’s extremely powerful, and it also contains highly toxic substances!” 

Henderson’s face turned pale almost instantly, and he stammered anxiously, “W-Why did you bring this here? Get it out of here…” 

Bringing such a dangerous object into the conference room was disastrous. If it exploded, they would all be killed on the spot. He had already made up his mind to fire Angelica after the meeting. 

Angelica quickly explained, “This detonator is damaged. It won’t explode…” 

She would naturally not dare to carry around a threatening detonator. 

Only after confirmation from her colleagues in the bomb disposal team did she dare to bring the detonator to the chief and the governor. 

Henderson yelled again, “Well isn’t it poisonous? Get it out… Get it out!” 

He felt his authority was greatly undermined. 

Angelica swallowed. “The poison in the explosive only works when it’s heated to produce gas!” 

Henderson was furious and slammed the table. “Can’t you understand what I’m saying? I told you to get out… Right now… Get out!” 

At this point, Nash continued, “Do you know this type of detonator well?” 

His gentle voice contrasted sharply with Henderson’s angry outburst. 

Nonetheless, this soft voice somehow overpowered Henderson’s. 

Seeing Nash’s intention to let Angelica stay, Henderson had no choice but to say to Jade, “Governor, for your safety, we should leave first!”. 

Jade lightly said, “I trust her. If she says the detonator won’t explode, then we’re definitely safe. Maybe the detonator in her hand is the key to your case!” 

Henderson sighed helplessly, then obediently sat back in his chair. He took out his phone and notified HR to revoke Angelica’s patroller status. 

Angelica gratefully glanced at Nash and then began to speak, “My ex-boyfriend used to work in a mercenary group. He once showed me this kind of detonator and told me that this technology is only available in their group!” 

Nash took a sip of water from his cup on the table and asked calmly, “Which mercenary group did your ex-boyfriend work for?” 

“Sky Blade Group!” 

Angelica pursed her lips. 

The mention of this mercenary group reminded her of her ex-boyfriend, and she had a complicated look on her face. 

She and her ex-boyfriend were childhood sweethearts. The two had a sense of justice since they were young, and they also 

decided to go to the police academy together in the future. 

The two applied, and they received an admission notice from the Capiton Police Academy. 

It was just that the man disappeared the day before school started. 

It was not until Angelica was about to graduate that the man contacted her again.
