Chapter 256: Decadence
Ayan frowned, “Do they find out something?”
“Logan called us. He said that they checked the monitor at the construction site. After careful
comparison and speculation, they found two black screens, one is at the time when the accident
happened yesterday and the other is when the materials was delivered a month ago.”
Kian told him the truth.
Logan was also shocked when he said this. It was not a simple accident obviously.
Ayan looked at Kian. “So, the camera was sabotaged by someone, right? It means that it isn’t a simple
accident but a premeditated plot.”
“That’s current speculation.”
Kian nodded in response.
Ayan narrowed his eyes. He didn’t make a sound but his face was much colder that before.
He stayed silent for a few seconds and said, “Did the family of the deceased mention compensation?”
“Nope, I attempted to sound out, but they refused to reconcile and compensate and insisted on
Simpson Group being investigated to find out whether there were any other violations.”
“Well, if then want, Simpson Group will keep them company.”
There was no emotion in Ayan’s voice, but the only thing that was certain was that his tone was cold,
as cold as the freezing winter weather.
Although the police found that there was a problem with the monitor, which could prove that this
incident was not a simple accident, but they don't know what happened at that time
Therefore, it didn’t make any difference.
Because of the incident, other projects of Simpson Group were affected of varying degrees. In addition,
the company also suffered a large loss.
Ayan, as the president of Simpson Group, must be responsible for Simpson Group and all the
employees. He said to Kian, “Pay attention to the public opinion after the news of police is published.”
Kian was a little stunned and then understood immediately that Ayan was reminding him to pay
attention to whether there were suspicious people.
After talking about this, Kian was about to go out when he suddenly thought of something and said,
“Mr. Simpson, the psychologist called me to let me come over. The doctor mentioned that it is related to
Eileen.”
“Well, visit the psychologist when you’re available.”
“I get it.”
Kian nodded and exited the office.
Ayan lit a cigarette and dialed Rex, “Hello? Where are you?”
“At work.”
“How does he think about the incident?”
He was referring to Rex's younger brother, Ray.
Ray came back yesterday and contacted Ayan but he didn’t say too much. He needed to sort out the
cause and effect of the incident and some information.
Ayan and Ray didn’t know each other very well. Though they were in the same class, Ray was the type
that who refused to take over the family business and pursued his hobbies.
Rex knew that Ayan was anxious, so he didn't joke, let alone take this opportunity to blackmail him. “I
asked. It’s a bit tricky because you can’t provide evidence to prove that this matter is a simple accident.
After all, it caused casualties.” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“So ”
Ayan asked mercilessly.
Rex was a bit stunned and said quicky, “He’ll find a way. And didn’t you say that what you have to do
now is to wait? Are you anxious now?”
“I’m not anxious. I’m just worried that the someone wicked is behind the thing and I don’t want Camille
to be used as a scapegoat.”
Camille was in charge of the project. It’s been a full day since the accident. If there isn’t any reliable
evidence after today, she would take a risk.
That was not what he wanted to see.
Rex was silent at his response.
Ayan didn’t ask more. “Tell Ray that please to do his best.”
“Don’t worry. I see.”
Rex replied quickly.
Before Ayan hang up the phone, Kian knocked on the door again.
“Mr. Simpson,” Kian said, “one of the victims reported to the police that that in addition to the monitor
obtained by the police, there were hidden surveillance cameras at the construction site.”
“Hidden cameras?”
“Yeah, I contacted Mr. Moss just now. He said that you asked him to install some monitors after Mrs.
Simpson was took away by Jack at the construction site. In case the cameras were damaged, he
installed some hidden pinhole cameras, but …”
The more Kian said, the more solemn Ayan looked.
Because it was reported by the injured, the police immediately rushed to the construction site and then
took Mr. Moss to the police station to cooperate with the investigation.
When questioned by the police, Mr. Moss truthfully admitted that he was indeed responsible for
installing monitors but he replaced several groups of people to install the monitors, including the secret
pinhole cameras. Now even he could not remember all the locations.
In other words, he was responsible for installing the cameras but he didn’t have the exact locations.
His words made the police a bit doubtful. Logan asked, “Is there always a backstage-management
system where you can view the footage? Don’t you have the backstage-management system?”
Mr. Moss hesitated and said to Logan, “I want to meet Mr. Simpson.”
Logan noticed that he wanted to say something and he couldn’t do anything at the police station, so
Logan agreed.
Ayan rushed over immediately.
Logan arranged a separate room for Ayan to meet with Mr. Moss. There was no monitor in it, which
was specifically emphasized by Ayan.
Ayan looked at Mr. Moss, who just came to the police station to cooperate with the investigation but
looked decadent.
He asked faintly, “What do you want to tell me?”
“Mr. Simpson, I really don't know all the locations of the cameras on the construction site.”
“But you arranged for someone to install them.”
“I know. But in case of accidents, I gave all the locations of the monitors and the backstage-
management system to Mrs. Simpson. Some of them haven’t been activated yet, maybe because Mrs.
Simson hasn’t checked them.”
Mr. Moss lowered his voice deliberately, then watched Ayan again warily for his response.
Ayan’s face looked cold and gloomy. His deep eyes seemed to be covered with a thick fog.
The atmosphere was quiet for about half a minute. Then he lightly lifted his eyelids and glanced at Mr.
Moss. “Do the police know about this?” Ayan asked without any emotions.
“Nope, I didn’t tell them. I’m not sure, so I need to ask you first.”
Mr. Moss was loyal to Simpson Group and Simpson family. As such a big accident happened, he also
felt afraid, and even dared to speak more, fearing that saying a wrong word would affect Simpson
Group.
Although Simpson had nothing to do with him, he has witnessed it grow better and better step by step.
He worked in Simpson Group for decades, devoting both his efforts and sincere feelings.
He looked at Ayan and asked uncertainly, “Mr. Simpson, if you’re worried… How about I tell the police
that only I know. As for Mrs. Simpson, you can tell her what to do about that.”
“No.” Ayan refused. He looked at Mr. Moss with a complicated look in his eyes and continued, “tell
them the truth. Tell the police what you know. Don’t hide anything, let alone any cover-up. Especially
the fact that Camille also knows the location of the cameras, you need to tell it to the police word for
word.”
“Mr. Simpson. Are you sure?” Mr. Moss looked puzzled. Wouldn't Camille become a suspect by doing
so?
