Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 370 - Be Careful

As Raelle had mentioned to Shui Xian that she was gonna meet Soren today, currently she was waiting inside the private room of a luxurious clubhouse. Raelle had never been fond of places like clubhouses. No matter how 'clean' these places were. Clubhouses provided different facilities and most included recreational facilities which she was most unlikely to try out.

This particular clubhouse had been the talk of the town since it opened last year. And since the clubhouse wanted to provide a place for every kind of people, they had also opened up these private rooms which were meant for business meetings rather than for private parties.

*Ring*

Raelle picked up her phone and heard Soren's voice, "Are you there already?"

"Yes," answered Raelle.

"As always, our President Raelle has to be on time, eh!"

"And you're gonna be late again," was all that Raelle said.

Soren ended up coughing since she had hit the mark as always. "I'm sorry!"

"How long?"

"Thirty minutes," answered Soren.

"Got it," said Raelle. Then she dialed a call to Cloe to let her know, "This meeting is gonna take longer than we thought. You have the meeting with the finance department and give me the report later."

"Yes, Chief."

Raelle still had something she wanted to tell Cloe but before she could, the door of the private room was burst open, and in walked armed people holding up their guns. Since the clubhouse was said to be quite safe, Raelle had only brought Anna and Caleb with her inside the clubhouse. And as soon as the door was knocked open, both of them jumped over to stand before Raelle like a wall.

There was a dangerous aura surrounding these two people who usually didn't have any presence at all. They usually made their presence so scarce that one might even forget that they had been standing there all along but currently, they were giving off deadly vibes. One that was hard to ignore for anyone.

Before these two could make a move, Raelle spoke up, "Stand back."

"Missy?" Anna was shocked to hear Raelle's command.

Raelle pointed at the one leading as she said, "They are from the special forces."

Although Anna understood what she meant, she was still unwilling to back off. It was her job to protect Raelle and she'd never take it lightly.

Raelle was unfazed by the presence of these strangers who came rushing in and were now looking around the private room as if looking for something. Soon, a woman came to stand right in front of Raelle and looked at her intently.

"Major, there is nothing here," said someone.

The woman looked at Raelle and said, "You'll have to come with us."

"Are Special Armed Forces so unreasonable?" asked Raelle. "You can take just any citizen with you?"

"You're not the only one," answered another person. "We are just doing our job. Please, cooperate!"

Raelle tapped her leg before she stood up and said, "Alright, let's go."

"Missy?" Anna couldn't help calling out.

Raelle gave her a look, "We are law-abiding citizens, Anna."

"But they need to provide us an explanation," argued Anna. "They can't just ask us to follow them like criminals."

"If you act like this, you're trying to obstruct our work," said an officer.

"Stand down, Anna!" Raelle gave a command and Anna didn't dare to argue again.

But as an officer tried to hold Raelle to lead her out, Anna stood in the way and said, "Don't touch her. You want her to follow, she is following. But no physical touching."

The man looked at his superior who narrowed her eyes before nodding her head. As they got out of the clubhouse, Raelle could see that they were indeed not the only ones involved in this chaos. Something major must be going on for Special Armed Forces to take such actions.

They were all led to the military base in the suburbs and everyone was pushed inside an investigation room. And just like everyone else, Raelle was also sitting inside one of these investigation rooms. They had taken Anna and Caleb to some other place so currently, Raelle was alone in this investigation room.

And as she sat in that hard chair, she continued looking at the one-way glass in front of her. Her gaze was so penetrating that it made the person on the other side feel like she was looking right through his soul.

"This one is interesting," said the captain of the team.

"Interesting?" asked the Major who was leading this mission.

"She isn't scared. She isn't frustrated. She isn't angry either. In fact, it's like she feels nothing about this situation," said the captain.

"You think she can be a part of that syndicate?"

"Major Xiang, just because I said she is interesting doesn't mean she is a criminal," said Captain Teng. "But from the way she carries herself, she isn't a simple character. She is giving me a bad feeling."

"What nonsense!"

Captain Teng tsked at her superior, "Major, don't forget my intuition is never wrong." She looked at Major Xiang and added, "This intuition has saved my life way too many times. Don't take it so lightly." She looked back inside the investigation room at Raelle and went on, "Be careful of her. Be very careful."

"I guess I should take care of this one on my own since only I'll be able to take good care of this oh-so-dangerous character," said Major Xiang jokingly as she shook her head at her team member.

Major Xiang Wai walked inside the investigation room and sat on the other side of Raelle with a file in her hand. "Name?" She asked.

Raelle looked at her face intently as she replied, "Raelle."

"Full name," asked Major Xiang Wai as she looked up at Raelle. But looking into her eyes, she paused for a moment.

"Raelle...." Before Raelle could even speak, someone opened the door of the investigation room and burst in rudely.
