Chapter 406
Caroline stayed up until the afternoon before driving to the bar. The bar had just opened, so only a few workers
were bustling about.
The bar workers were in a dilemma when Caroline demanded to see last night’s surveillance footage
Caroline raised an eyebrow. “Some strange men took me away yesterday, and I was almost assaulted. If I call the
police about this, it’ll affect your bar’s reputation, won’t it?”
The bar worker said shakily, “I–I’ll let my manager know about your situation.”
A few minutes later, the worker returned with a man.
The man smiled. “Hello, Miss. I’m this bar’s manager. You want to see the surveillance footage, right? Please come
with me!”
The manager led Caroline to the surveillance room. “Which time do you want to check out?”
Caroline told him the time. The workers in the surveillance room immediately pulled out the
surveillance footage of the time she mentioned.
Caroline quickly noticed the two men on the video. She took screenshots of their faces and sent
them to Quentin. She texted, “Quentin, please help me find these two people.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtQuentin was drinking with Adrian at the moment. When he saw Caroline’s text, he instantly
smiled and showed Adrian the message.
“I told you that you should’ve joined our line of work, but you didn’t believe me. Otherwise,
Caroline would be asking for your help instead of mine.”
Catching a glimpse of Caroline’s name on the screen, Adrian snatched Quentin’s phone.
“Hey, come on. Don’t go grabbing my phone. No one can take it away…” As Quentin spoke, he
suddenly had an idea.
“Adrian, you have some prior experience in investigations. If your dad hadn’t deemed it a frivolous
job, we would have formed the best detective agency. So why don’t I let you handle this job for
Caroline?”
Adrian didn’t utter a single word. His eyes were fixed on Caroline’s name on the screen.

Quentin asked helplessly, “Are you taking the job or not?”
Adrian looked at the screen for a while longer, then muttered, “… Yes.”

Quentin smiled. “See? Your friend knows you best. I’m telling you–if you confess to Caroline right
off the bat, you’ll only scare her off. First, you have to take care of her and let her feel your
affections…”
Quentin was educating him about his love life, but Adrian had already stood up and left. He hurriedly caught up with
him and asked, “What are you doing?”
“I’m going to investigate these two men.” Adrian was refreshed. If the smell of alcohol hadn’t been
lingering on his body, Quentin would have suspected that he had drunk fake wine.
Caroline quickly received a reply. But strangely, the person who replied to her wasn’t Quentin but
Adrian.
“I’ve already done thorough investigations on these two men. Where are you now? I’ll send their
information over to you.”
Caroline replied, “You don’t need to go through such trouble. Just send me the digital copies.”
“I haven’t made digital copies.”
Caroline had no choice but to reply, “I’m at home now.”
Adrian quickly replied, “Is it the one from last time?”
Caroline pondered for a moment, then remembered when Sarah had accused her of being an
unfaithful daughter.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs a result, people had thrown trash in front of her home. When she had come back to handle the
problem, she had bumped into Adrian.
She was surprised that he still remembered this place after so long.
Caroline replied in assent, then waited for someone to arrive with the documents.
Adrian took more than an hour to arrive, and there was even sweat on his face. It was clear he was
in a hurry.
Caroline was a little confused. “Why did you bring them here in person?” Logically speaking,
shouldn’t his subordinates deliver the documents for him?

“Since this is so important, I could only rest assured if I brought them to you myself.”
Adrian said half–jokingly, “Well? Aren’t you going to invite me in?”
Since Caroline had learned that Adrian already had a girlfriend, she had already forgotten what
had happened that day.
When she thought of it occasionally, she even felt like she had been overthinking things.
