Chapter 1066: Why Is There a Commotion on New Year’s Eve?
Crystal squinted at him, seeing the man had already gotten up and buttoned his shirt collar. That unfamiliar ringtone instantly gave her a bad feeling.
"Today is Chinese New Year’s Eve, where are you going?" She struggled to restrain her anger.
The man’s handsome, stern face was half-hidden in the dim light, his voice hoarse as he said, "I’m going out for a bit, you go back to sleep."
"To see who?"
Richard Shaw paused slightly, saying nothing.
On a day for family reunions, it was already late at night. Who would call an outsider at this hour? Besides, even if there was an emergency, there were family and friends around. Crystal knew the situation of the Shaw Family in the Imperial City well, and had never heard of anyone Richard needed to look after but couldn’t talk about.
Seeing him silently taking his coat, Crystal was furious. She glanced at the bedside and, without thinking, threw his usual ashtray.
The bronze ashtray struck the man’s brow, instantly cutting a wound that began to bleed. His gaze deepened, yet he left the bedroom.
Crystal watched him leave just like that, her whole body trembling with rage, without a word of explanation, even though injured by her, he still went out.
She turned on the light, looking at the cigarettes on the nightstand, her fingers trembling as she lit one, burning herself several times by the bright red flame before being able to light it.
She squinted, taking a drag to calm herself down, then called Shuanger.
Shuanger was also from the Imperial City, and had followed Richard Shaw for several years. When Richard was transferred to the Imperial City, he brought back many old associates.
"Call Richard Shaw now, see where he’s going, follow him, keep an eye on him until he comes back," Crystal spoke quickly and urgently, her words somewhat incoherent.
Shuanger was shocked, stammering, "New Year’s Eve, the Major General went out?"
"Yes, go." She said this, then hung up the phone, her face bleak, as if she had used all her strength.
After the call, Shuanger quickly dialed the Major General’s number, the line was busy.
He was slightly shocked, slapping his thigh, roughly guessing where the Major General had gone.
After all, everything about Luna Lawrence in the Imperial City was organized by him back then.
When he first heard the Major General was bringing Luna to the Imperial City, Shuanger had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.
The Shaw Family was so prestigious in the Imperial City, and if Luna came here, this matter was bound to be exposed sooner or later. And now, on such an important night, this trouble arises.
Shuanger drove to a residential building near Imperial City University, and sure enough, saw a black Hummer.
Richard Shaw’s car had just arrived, the man had just gotten out, his expression colder and sterner than usual, with a cut on his brow, the winter chill had already frozen the blood, making him appear even colder. Seeing Shuanger follow, he frowned, "Why are you here?"
"Madam called me, said to keep an eye on you." Under the sweep of Richard’s deep brown eyes, Shuanger was startled into explaining everything in one go, cautiously adding, "Major General, your brow is bleeding, it needs to be bandaged."
Upon hearing this, Richard Shaw was slightly stunned, reaching up to wipe his brow. His rough fingers brushed away the scab, and the blood began to seep out again.
Driving over here, the man was somewhat distracted, not even realizing he’d been injured by Crystal. Thinking back to her anger when he left, he figured a long period of cold war was likely ahead.
But at the moment, there was no time to worry about that. Richard Shaw looked in the direction of the residential area, his handsome face clouded as he said, "Come on, let’s go up."
