(Not) a Preferred Son-in-Law 36. Charlie's Death
Charlie's face tensed as he watched the video. In the video, it was clearly visible that Leon was being tortured by several people wearing black clothes. They were wearing masks that covered part of their faces. It was also seen when Leon was put into a sack in an unconscious state and his hands and feet were tied.Then the video also showed a fight between Andre and those people. Andre lost and was battered, then fainted. Then Leon was taken to the sea and dumped there."Andre, where did you get these videos? Are they real or edited?" asked Charlie with a tense face."Why do you doubt this video? This video is real, Uncle. Andre got it from those people. They wanted to ask me for ransom. They sent the first video. I couldn't bear it, so I intended to free Leon. But instead they ganged up on me until I lost and fainted. That's when they sent the second video. Then the third video." Charlie watched the videos again. He believed now that everything Andre said was true and the proof was

"Mr. Leon! Come here quickly!" Leon who heard Anto's scream gasped, he was very shocked and anxious. Leon was afraid that something bad would happen to Anto, the person who had kindly helped him from death. Leon rushed to Anto. "What's wrong?" Leon asked with a panicked face. "Sir, check out the news!" Anto showed the news on television, making Leon immediately come closer and listen to the news that was being broadcast by the famous television station in the country. A news about the death of Charlie Tanusudibya, a big businessman who founded Tan's Industries, two days ago.The news also discussed Charlie Tan's funeral plan, exactly one week after Charlie's death. The founder of Tan's Industries was planned to be buried in the largest cemetery in Southeast Asia located outside the island. Tjung Hoax Kung Mu Yen Cemetery, where Charlie's ancestors are. "Is that your grandfather, Sir?" asked Anto with a concerned face. Anto certainly still remembered, a few days ago Leon revealed

Anto was shocked, he was really surprised to be reprimanded in such a way by another trumpet player."Don't stop blowing your trumpet until you tell me to," the trumpet player said to Anto."Okay. Sorry. I was just amazed by the luxury of the house," Anto replied while scratching the back of his neck, embarrassed."That's how rich people's houses are. Okay, let's blow again before the chairman gets angry!"Anto then blew the trumpet in his hand again. In front of him, Leon was also blowing the trumpet. Leon and Anto were forced to change into white shirts so they could blend in with the trumpet player. Leon kept stealing glances at the main residence, while blowing the trumpet, he kept observing and looking for a way to get in there.Behind the trumpeters, a group of lion dancers were showing off their moves. Weaving like a dragon walking. Sometimes spinning around like they were chasing their tails. The white lion dancers were still in action, when Leon saw a good opportunity. When t

"Wait a minute, Sir!"Leon froze when he heard the voice. He clearly knew who was calling him. The woman walked quickly after Leon, and in an instant was in front of Leon."Are you Young Master Leon?"Cindy looked closely at the figure in front of her. While Anto nudged Leon's arm, she was worried that Leon was in danger. Leon glanced at Anto, then nodded. As if to say that he was fine."Who is Young Master Leon? I don't know him!""Ha-ha-ha... Young Master, don't joke with me. My guess is right, you are indeed Young Master Leon. I will not be fooled by your appearance, Sir. I know your posture very well. Your voice also cannot deceive me." Leon could only exhale roughly. "Alright, I admit defeat, Cindy. I beg you, don't come near me. Later someone will be suspicious and recognize my disguise. Please!" Leon begged with a serious face. "Alright, Young Master. I want to discuss something important with Young Master. Can Young Master wait for me near the gate? We will try to find a saf

"Quickly tell me what's wrong Cindy! What are you investigating!" Leon was so curious about what Cindy had just said. His brain started thinking, trying to guess what was happening in the company and why Andre could be involved. "Excuse me, Young Master, I found a lot of irregularities with the existing financial reports and production reports. Then after I traced it, it all pointed to a point where your uncle was behind it. But this is just a temporary assumption, Young Master. I haven't succeeded in proving your uncle's involvement. I'm still investigating it further."Leon nodded in agreement. "Okay, I give you the authority to conduct any investigation in the company. Do it according to procedure, don't forget to involve independent parties too. Please keep it a secret as much as possible if I'm still alive. I still want to hide from Andre for now. I want to know his next plan after Grandpa's departure." "Okay, Young Master." Cindy nodded obediently, then wrote something back o

Cindy looked around again. Then, her gaze accidentally met someone she really didn't want to see. However, unfortunately, the person smiled at her, even walking towards her. Cindy clenched her jaw, when the person started to greet her. "Miss Cindy, you came too? Where's your Young Master?" Andre asked Cindy that, making Leon's personal assistant furious. However, she tried not to show her feelings. She gave a thin smile, pretending not to know anything about what Leon was going through. "Young Master Leon seems to be on vacation, Mr. Andre. He's turned off his cellphone for the past few days and I can't contact him," Cindy replied, trying to be friendly to Leon's uncle. "Oh really? On vacation, huh? You didn't even know about his grandfather's death, huh? What kind of grandson is that? He said he was the only grandson, but he behaves like that!" Cindy secretly clenched her fists when she heard Andre's response about Leon's absence. Even though Cindy knew very well, Andre was the

"Is it possible that Mr. Andre was involved in the death of the late Master?" Robert said that quietly, afraid that someone would overhear their conversation and eventually their secret would be revealed. Cindy crossed her arms in front of her chest, then looked at Robert with a probing gaze. She tried to find out what was on Robert's mind. "If Mr. Andre was involved, what would you do?" Cindy asked then, after she found no lies in Robert's facial expression. "If that's the case, I will try to investigate this case through legal channels. This is a criminal act and enters the realm of the law," Robert replied firmly.Cindy nodded in agreement. She was sure now that Robert was on her side. If he was on Andre's side, he would certainly defend his master, right? Cindy felt relieved because she had an ally now. "Mr. Robert, if you're not busy, after the airport I'd like to talk to you privately." "Cindy, do you also want to accompany the late Master to the airport? How about coming

43. Meeting with New Supporter"Mr. Robert. I have something important to discuss with you." Robert turned around and frowned because he felt like he didn't know the person who had just greeted him. Robert glanced at the person's appearance. The tall, big man was wearing an unbuttoned black leather jacket that revealed his black undershirt. Black denim trousers covered his lower body. It looked informal but quite polite to attend a funeral. "Excuse me, who are you? Do you know me?""Mr. Robert. What happened to Mr. Charlie that he died? I met him a few days ago, he seemed healthy and fit. Did something happen to him?" Robert was obviously shocked to hear the man's words, because usually Charlie always wanted to be accompanied wherever Charlie went and talk about anything about what Charlie had done and would do. However, Charlie did not tell about his meeting with the person who was now in front of Robert. "Do you know Mr. Charlie? What's your name?" asked Robert with a sharp gaze
