Chapter: 553
Night needed some help because he did not have time on his hands.
For the sake of their friendship, Maria would take on the task with a smile.
But when she saw the reward of three million dollars, she was taken aback.
This amount of money was actually not too much, but the problem was, Night was known for being very picky about the tasks he chose in Heaven.
Maria was also aware of it. He would conduct an in-depth investigation on the content, background and purpose of the request before accepting it. Only after verifying that the request was above board, would he pursue it. He was very strict concerning these matters
Hence, Night avoided almost ninety percent of the high-reward requests on the market. He would never compromise his integrity.
Now he had a request with a reward of three million dollars. How could Maria not be surprised? She actually had several unanswered questions, but in the end she decided to keep them to herself.
“It's rare for you to ask for help. Of course I'll help you. It’s no problem at all," Maria replied.
Night replied with three smiling emojis. Clearly he was happy and satisfied that the task would get the best attention.
After a few minutes, Night relayed the detailed content of the request over to Maria.
“Respondent: Patricia Hughes."
“Investigation Content: The source of funds of Patricia's Hughes Group, apart from the sum invested by the Smith family from Broome."
Maria was a little surprised. She didn't expect Night to ask her to investigate Patricia of all people. It was ironical that Patricia's matter Landed in her hands.
"On what allegation is she being investigated?" asked Maria with keen interest.
Night replied, "The client who issued this request is an elder of mine. There appears to be something wrong with the capital source of Patricia's company. The elder suspected that his funds were being misused. So he used a highly credible account to issue the business request."
Night followed this up by attaching a screenshot.
Although the key information of the client was not revealed, Maria could still see that he was indeed using an ID with the top Level of credit!
"Okay, I'll take over from here and unearth the truth," Maria promised. Investigate Patricia?
Although the investigation hadn't officially begun, Maria had a vague idea about where Patricia had secured her capital investment for her company from.
It raised many questions. Patricia had been in the entertainment circle for over twenty years but had never become popular. She was more or less a failed actress. Now in her middle-age, she suddenly found someone to fund a company founded by her! She was now the president of the said company! How bizarre!
