The Satan CEO’s Woman: He Unexpectedly Fell In Love With Her - Chapter 401
With Eunji’s provocation, Nathan had no choice but to hurry in returning back to her. After all, he didn’t want her to look at another man nor make another man to want his wife.
He struggled to free himself from the chain binding his hands together.
Eunji could hear the noise coming from the metals clashing against each other.
He was left alone inside a room with steel door. Thankfully only his hands were tied and his feet were freed.
“Help will be coming to your place now. So you don’t have to hurt yourself in order to be free.”
Eunji said as she entered into one the safe room to continue their conversation safely. After all, she’s in the hallway and “Walls have ears”.
“No need. I can manage to leave this place scratch free. My men are just outside. I asked them to be on standby just in case. I like to stay here for days. But since someone misses me so much, I have no choice but to leave.” Nathan’s tone was very serious at first yet he didn’t fail to flirt back at her in the end.
Eunji rolled her eyes while imagining his face appearance every time he tried to flirt with her.
“Hmmm. Hurry up! I have just realized that the games seems to be boring without you here.” She was really serious when she said that.
“Ha! Now you know that only me can make your life meaningful and not boring.”
Eunji bit the inside of her lips as she thought of something else.
“Love, are you okay?” Nathan became worried because she became silent all of a sudden.
“Ahm, I’m fine. However, something happened that really bothers me right now.”
“What is it?”
“It’s about J.”
“What about him?”
“Love, J’s been missing since yesterday. A group of men whom I suspected as the members of Black Lily were chasing after him. He crashed his car onto the railings of the bridge and it fell down on the water below. And until now, there’s no clue of his whereabouts.” Eunji pursed her lips as she waited for Nathan’s response.
Nathan had long accepted the fact that Jin Jie would always have a special place in Eunji’s heart. He was very lucky that she had chosen to love him over Jin Jie. He was also thankful that Jin Jie had taken good care of Eunji and during the years he was away. Still, he’s a man and it’s only natural to be jealous.
He had decided to push those thoughts he had at the back of his head and so he was able to become calm as he talked to Eunji.
“This name’s quite familiar to me. Right! They’re originally established as a mafia group. However now, they’d become active as a mercenary rather than being a mafia.”
“You’re right. Their numbers are growing these days, too. But do you know who established their faction?”
“Who?”
“Su Ying.” As Nathan heard the name his expression darkened, too.
“Toby had confessed that Su Ying’s their founder.”
“Wait, I thought Toby’s an independent mercenary? How come he had become a member of Black Lily?”
After Nathan accepted the invitation, he had conducted an investigation about the people he’d be interacting with during the event.
“Well, it’s only natural to hide or even delete our real personal information so no one could access it that easily and use it against us given the nature of our job.”
Nathan hummed in response from the other line.
Eunji then continued, “That’s why they’re after Jin Jie because probably of Su Ying’s orders.”
And then, to help Nathan understand, she told him about the relationship between Su Ying and Jin Jie.
“Grandson? Why did you hide this from me?”
“I thought you already knew about this?” Eunji bit the inside of her lip as she knew she was guilty of hiding this from Nathan.
“Yes. But hey! J promised that he’d never help him and he’d not betray me.”
“And you believe him?” Nathan felt annoyed.
“Yes. Well, I gave him another chance for the sake of our friendship. And I really treated him as a family. And I trust the bond that I shared with him.”
Nathan sighed deeply as he listened to Eunji’s explanation. His love was just so good and kind-hearted that she didn’t even realize that she was being taken advantaged or not. However, these qualities made him to love her even more.
“So you think they got him?”
“I thought so. Are you no longer angry?” Eunji said almost in a whisper as she’s afraid that he’d snap at her.
“No. I’m not angry. I’m just annoyed that you have hidden this very important piece of information from me.”
“Sorry. Many things have been occupying inside my mind lately that I had slipped out of my mind.”
Now that he knew that this faction had ties with Su Ying, Nathan had more reasons to investigate the Black Lily. And also, he wanted to make sure that J would never hurt Eunji.
“Hmmm. I don’t think I’m inside their hide out now. Maybe this is Toby’s personal hideout.” Nathan thought so because there were only a few people guarding the place according to his people who have been observing the entire place outside.
His statement made Eunji to be hopeful.
“Yes. They’re main base is somewhere in Brazil.”
Then Nathan thought of something.
“What if Jin Jie is still in Beijing? If he’s severely injured, they can’t fly him to another country right away. They had to wait for him to be stable before he’d be allowed to be airlifted into another country.”
“That’s what I thought, too. I have already ordered them to monitor the movements of international flights going in and out of the country just in case. Private jets are also included.”
Eunji sighed before she added, “Alora had also tapped the Mo Hospital just in case he was being admitted. I’m sure Brother-in-law’s now at it, too.”
Nathan sighed deeply before he said, “Okay. I’ll look into it. I’ll fly to Beijing immediately after I get out of this place.”
“Thanks, love. Don’t worry, I’ll let Alora to tell Iris that you’ll be coming back to help us with the search.” She really could not take this case personally since she had to stay dead in their eyes.
Sometimes, she thought that Jin Jie’s disappearance was like a test to her. A test if she was really dead. But she knew it’s impossible. Unless if someone dared to betray her.
“Don’t thank me. We’re a team, right? And since this case concerned the both of us, it’s just right that I’ll look into it especially when your plates are still full.”
Then, he asked Eunji again, “What else did Toby confessed?”
“He said that Su Ying’s on the move already. That he’d be coming. He also told me that even the place like the International Prison could not contain him.”
“Well.” Edric made a sigh before he continued, “The fact that Hades managed to escape from that place means that there are many loopholes inside the facility and their system itself.”
“Yeah.” Eunji agreed to what he said.
“However, don’t worry. With us fighting together, we can defeat him.”

International Prison
This place was located in a small island near New Zealand.
This islet was hidden from the satellite to make sure that no prison break attempts would be successful because their accomplices were on standby outside.
This facility was heavily guarded because of the high profile criminals being detained inside. They had the money and a huge army of followers waiting for them outside.
The guards had three shifts to make sure that they’re in good condition while guarding the prisoners.
And one of the prisoners detained here was Su Ying. A seventy year old man with long, grey hair tied in a ponytail behind his back.
His face was clean with no mustache or beard. He was very particular with his appearance.
He was no longer on his prison cell as he was now currently staying inside one of the VIP rooms intended for the person managing the prison.
He was currently having a nap.
“Sir Su!” One of the jail guards knocked on the door waking him up.
The man then entered and he was welcomed by the solid glass that hit his face.
“How many times do I have to tell you to never wake me up on my sleep?!” He snapped at the poor jail guard.
“I’m sorry Sir. However, there’s a news about your grandson.”
“What happened to my grandson? Did they finally got him?” Su Ying looked at him with anticipation. However, this anticipation was going to be replaced by anger later on.
“No, Sir. They said he had encountered an accident and there’s a great posibility that he’s dead by now.”
“What?! Who? Who did that to him?!”
“They said it’s Nathaniel Bai.”
