Chapter 1148: Epilogue

After this news came out, although it didn't immediately attract a lot of

replies and onlookers, it was still seen by a few people who then

rushed to reply below. Almost every half an hour, they would come back

and ask about the owner's condition.

The owner always replied, but after five or six hours, there was no trace

of them. Everyone attributed this situation to Ayan and wondered what

he had done to the owner.

So in the sixth hour after this comment appeared, Kian received a call

from Hance City Police Department.

The other side said: "We want to talk to Mr. Ayan about some things.

Our people are already on their way to Simpson Group and we hope

Mr. Ayan will cooperate.”

Kian immediately reported this matter to Ayan because when the police

called, cooperation was necessary.

Ayan didn't show much expression after hearing it; he just looked at

Kian silently before saying lightly: "Bring them directly into my office."

"Will that cause others’ speculation?”

"What is there for them to speculate? If something really happened,

wouldn't the police have summoned me directly instead of coming here

themselves?!"

Ayan snorted lightly with a hint of coldness in his eyes and face as if he

didn't care about this matter at all.

However, his brow suddenly furrowed slightly as he asked indifferently:

"Go check online how that thing is going now?"

“It hasn't been popular these past few days so there shouldn't be any

problems,” Kian said while checking the gossip reporter's personal

account but found nothing new before being interrupted by the arrival of

police officers.

Their speed was fast without giving anyone any chance for preparation;

they clearly came prepared.

Kian quickly put away his phone then left the office waiting for police

officers at elevator while feeling anxious whereas Ayan remained calm

sitting behind his desk without showing any signs of panic or

nervousness despite having some doubts in his mind as why did police

come personally?

At first, Ayan couldn't quite guess what was going on. He just squinted

his eyes and kept a cold expression on his face as the police officers

arrived at the office with Kian. Even though they were police officers,

they seemed slightly nervous around Ayan, who naturally exuded a

strong aura.

Ayan asked them to sit down and chat while Kian poured tea for

everyone. Then he calmly spoke up: "I assume you two came all this

way to find me for something?"

The two police officers exchanged glances before one of them replied:

"Mr. Simpson, it's like this... We've received several reports from

citizens about some incidents related to you recently, so we wanted to

come here and verify some information.”

"Reports about me?" Ayan raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Yes," the officer nodded hesitantly.

Ayan smiled faintly and said: "What happened? It seems like I haven't

been doing well enough if people are reporting me to the police.”

"Mr. Simpson, please don't say that,” the other officer chimed in quickly.

"You've made great contributions to Hance City and society as a whole,

not to mention your family's long-standing charity work. We're aware of

all that.”

"That's all within my scope of responsibility; nothing worth mentioning,”

Ayan replied nonchalantly before turning his gaze back onto the two

officers again. He asked them directly: "So what exactly is going on?

What could have prompted people to report me?"

After hearing him speak so calmly despite being accused by others

behind his back, both officers felt unsure how they should react or

interpret his behavior.

Don't tell us he isn't even angry?

They thought silently but dared not ask out loud.

"We heard there was something circulating on Twitter lately that

involves you," one officer finally spoke up in a low voice after

exchanging another glance with their colleague beside him.

"Somebody claimed that you had abused Mrs. Simpson at home." The

officer continued carefully while observing Ayan's reaction closely."It

seems like this incident was exposed by an anonymous gossip reporter

who hasn't been seen or heard from since then. We tried contacting

him but failed, and neither did any of his friends or family members

know where he went. So..."

"So do you think I'm involved in this matter?" A faint smile still lingered

on Ayans lips as he asked casually without showing any signs of anger

or frustration. This calm demeanor left both policemen wondering what

exactly was going through Ayans mind right now?

Do these accusations not affect him at all?

The thought crossed their minds, but neither dared ask. Accordingly,

the other policeman responded quietly:"Please don't misunderstand us

Mr. Simpson. We believe in your innocence. However, due process

requires us investigate such matters when reports pile up.”

Ayan nodded and said, “I understand. So, what do you need to know?

Ask away!" Ayan was very cooperative, and the police were naturally

very friendly. They explained in detail the contents of the report they

received over the phone. From their explanation, Ayan learned that not

only could they not contact gossip reporters but also two netizens who

had commented on whether it was related to him.

If it were just a coincidence for one person, then three people should be

more than just a coincidence. Therefore, the police did not believe this

was fake news and decided to come over to Simpson Group despite

facing pressure from above.

After listening for a while without saying anything or showing any

emotions on his face, Ayan finally spoke up: "Since these people are

missing now, I need you guys to find them as soon as possible. Even if

I have great abilities, I cannot bear this responsibility alone if something

happens. So please investigate quickly and clear my name."

The two policemen looked at each other but quickly replied: "We

understand Mr. Simpson's concerns and will do our best to investigate

this matter.”

Kian spoke up at this point: "Thank you both for coming here today and

communicating with us about this issue. If the police had ignored it

completely and something happened later on... well then Mr. Simpson

would be in hot water indeed.” The policemen didn't know how to

respond.

Ayan added: "Please feel free to contact my secretary if there is

anything else we can do or help with."

“Thank you for your cooperation,” said one of the policemen.

“You're welcome,” replied Ayan calmly.

The conversation came close an end after that exchange of words

between them all.

Ayan glanced briefly at Kian before he left with his two colleagues from

Simpson Group's office building via elevator.

As they walked towards it together Kian asked quietly: "Do either of you

happen know who reported Mr. Simpson's activities?"

The officers denied knowing anything about that particular matter

immediately after being asked by Kian

Kian wasn't in a rush and calmly explained, "I don't have any ulterior

motives. Mr. Simpson asked me to specifically ask this question, but I'm

just personally curious because I want to know who knows so much

about this matter and who has such a strong hatred towards Mr.

Simpson that they would do something like this. Honestly, do you two

believe it? Because I certainly don't."
