The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 204

After Julian’s intervention, the public security bureau immediately started to investigate the matter.

Apparently, it was easier to find the location of the truck than they imagined. The owner of the truck was soon found. It belonged to a boss who sold or rented second-hand vehicles. According to the boss, the truck was rented by somebody on the day of the accident.

When they pressed forward, they realized the person used a fake identity to rent the truck. As such, the police could only get a rough picture of the suspect based on the owner's description.

The identity was fake and the truck was rented. It proved that this was a deliberate action rather than an accident.

Julian had watched the surveillance video before. If Susan were not that calm and hadn't hit the brakes in the nick of the time, she could be dead right now.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt Isabelle deserved her punishment. In fact, he even felt it was not enough.

Due to Julian's intervention, the accident was defined as attempted murder. It was a serious offense and the public security bureau immediately issued a wanted circular across the nation to arrest the suspect.

The bounty was provided by Julian - A whopping amount of 1,000 grand. It was more than sufficient to attract everyone's attention.

Even though they had issued the wanted circular, it was still unknown when they would find the suspect.

Julian could not help but rub his temples. The entire incident gave him a feeling that the suspect was not simple. There was a voice in his head telling him that there was something bigger and darker behind the person.

"You don't want to sleep yet, Julian?" Susan's voice erupted and snapped Julian out of his thoughts. He turned his head towards the voice and found she was standing by the door, her figure alluring against the light.

He wiped up a smile and said, "I've something to settle."

The last thing he wanted was to make Susan worried. I f she knew the car accident was actually attempted murder, it might become a stress to her. As such, he did not plan to tell Susan that he was working with the public security bureau to go after the driver of the truck.

‘Let's wait until the suspect’s captured,' he thought inwardly.

"It's cold outside here, why don't you put on some more clothes?" Julian asked as he walked up to Susan. He took down his jacket and draped it over Susan's

shoulders.

Susan was still drowsy from the warmth of her sleep. Rubbing her eyes, she pouted her mouth and said, "I didn’t see you beside me when I woke up, so I came to find you." Then, she snuggled against his chest and sighed contentedly, "I miss you, Julian."

Her cuteness and the way she showed affection hit Julian right in the feels. Something inside of him awakened and he grabbed her, securing her in his embrace. Then, he whispered into her ear through a deep voice, "Is there anything else aside from wanting to see me?"

There was something deeper hiding in his eyes, which appeared to be darker than usual.

Susan threw him a sidelong glance and extricated herself from his arms. "Nope, I just wanted to see you. Anyway, I'm going back to sleep. You can proceed with your own matter.”

"Well, I've done all my work," Julian narrowed his eyes, "Susan, you cannot walk away just like that after flirting with me."

He bent over and scooped Susan into his arms.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm not flirting with you," Susan's face blushed, "Put me down, Julian. You promised me that you wouldn't touch me for a month!"

"Did I ever promise you something like that before?

Why can't I recall myself saying that?"

"Julian, you can’t go back on your promise!"

"Promise? What is that? Can I eat it?" While Julian was playing dumb, he had already placed Susan on the bed.

Susan attempted to run away the moment he released her. However, Julian saw through her and pulled her back. A smile crossed his face as he asked, "Where are you going, Susie?”

"Erm... I'm hungry. Let me go and eat something first!" Susan looked expectantly at Julian.

"I'm hungry too. What should I do?" Julian asked.
