XG 53 - I will let you reunite slowly

Surprisingly, Charles Wong joined them in the living room and had Brother Lam tell everyone what he found out.

No matter the reason, Wong Xue Guo and Chen Yibo were grateful to get the chance to listen. After three days of living together, with nearly twenty-four hours together every day, the two young adults got closer and found each other to be quite a good friend, especially when both of them were the youngest in the group.

Everyone needs a good friend around their age. A bully and their victim could co-exist and help each other during danger, so why do the two that do not have a grudge towards each other not do the same?

Wong Xue Guo could not let her pettiness ruin what could be an excellent partnership.

Brother Lam shared, "We don't have much clue on the possible person that possessed the boy. It's too difficult to search for a dead person that's not reported. It's the same case as Kiat."

Ta Kei added, "I've searched for a list of patients with severe injuries that survived. The list is narrowed down to this month, with five people left in the list."

"Investigate them."

"Got it," Ta Kei answered his boss. "We had also accidentally stumbled upon this news. The politician Lok Hui Man had allowed a new group of people to enter the island."

"Oh? Madam Lok is much kinder than she looks," Kang Xunsu commented without much sincerity, remembering the fierce Lok Hui Man that originally refused to let their group stay.

Brother Lam's sneer proved Kang Xunsu's doubt. "She does not dare to refuse them. They are from a rich family who goes by the surname of Sui that agreed to donate a huge sum of money to her party if she let them in. It's a family of three, with their father as an existing resident."

"People entering are no trouble to us, as long as they are clean from any bites," Aurora said.

"That's only because we don't have the intention to settle down," Brother Lam refuted. "You had no idea how many people complained about it. The civilians had gotten terrified and wary of outsiders coming in. Don't even mention food, it's another messy argument. Funny thing is, Lok Hui Man originally refused to let them in, but her family and some party members insisted."

Lok Hui Man was a politician supported by her family members. Thanks to their help, she could work with her back supported by those she trusted. But relying on their help heavily also means she was tied down to them.

A tall guy with a red eyepatch clapped his hands. "Aha! They must have gotten some benefit from getting them in!"

"We already know that, so why do you sound so happy to tell us!" His buddy retorted and both of them started a small argument.

"It's still noisy then?" Kang Xunsu asked, ignoring the argument at the side.

"Lok Hui Man manages to calm people down by saying they needed funds, and the outsider had brought more funds in. She also tries to get everyone to pity the victim, evoking their sympathy to accept the newcomers that had worked hard to reach safety. It was also good for them as their father, who's a resident and lives alone, is very well-liked by his neighbors."

"Mr. Sui's daughter-in-law is also from a wealthy family," Ta Kei added. "Madam Lok needs more money and allows them in."

"No other rich family tried to bribe their way in?"

Brother Lam sneered. "None of them are as rich as the Sui family."

"They should have accepted trade agreements with lesser populated countries. They won't be overly stingy with their resources," Aurora complained under her breath. Since they still have helicopters, they should use them to get the resources themselves instead of waiting for the other party to deliver it.
