My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots

"But didn't you say that Xu Yunyun escaped to Luntan because she kidnapped Pingting? If that's the case, why did she hire a murderer to kill you?"

Nangong Nuannuan then told Duke Eton about Xu Yunyun's relationship with Su Fei, as well Su Fei's grudge against her. Duke Eton could not help but sneer.

Was nothing sacred in this world? The distant relatives of the Shipley family wanted to kill his daughter?!

"Even if Su Fei wanted to use Xu Yunyun to kill you, how did she know that you would come here? How did they know that you were coming back to the Manor tonight?" Duke Eton could not help but ask.

Nangong Nuannuan nodded. "Yes, how did she know? The Shipley family are trash and barely nobles. There's no way they could've found out when my plane landed, especially as I didn't go through security. How did they know that I was coming back here, and how did they know to wait for me on that road?"

Duke Eton's handsome and thick eyebrows were tightly knitted together.

"Do you suspect... that there's a mole in the Duke's residence?"

Nangong Nuannuan smiled. "Dad, this isn't a suspicion. Isn't it obvious?"

Seeing that Duke Eton was about to explode in anger and wanted to interrogate the entire staff of his mansion, Nangong Nuannuan asked, "Dad, who in the mansion knew that I was coming back?"

Duke Eton was a little embarrassed.

"You haven't been back for a long time, so when you said that you were coming back, I told Charles to do a good job with cleaning your rooms. I think... everyone in the mansion knew that my young lady was coming back tonight."

"Oh." Nangong Nuannuan was not anxious at all. She asked again, "So they knew that I was coming back, but who knew what time my plane would land? And which car you arranged to pick me up? Who knew all three of those things?"

Eton carefully thought back. He said, "Very few people knew about the entire arrangement—only Charles and the bodyguards he chose. Could it have been those bodyguards? That can't be right! They're all very dedicated to my mansion. Naturally, Charles would have warned them all to keep their itinerary a secret... No!"

Duke Eton suddenly glared at Emily, who was listening to them seriously with an expressionless face. He said, "You weren't far from me then. You must've heard me talking to Charles."

Emily widened her eyes and looked at Duke Eton in disbelief. She said, "Mr. Duke, how could you say that about me? I haven't even met Sunny before. Why would I want to harm her?"

Duke Eton waved his hand and motioned for her to shut up. "How would I know why you might want to harm Sunny? At the time, the only people around me were you and Charles. Do you want to accuse Charles of leaking her route?"

"Even if it wasn't Charles, it could have been one of those bodyguards. Who can guarantee that those supposed men of sacrifice are definitely loyal? What if they were bewitched by the potential benefits and betrayed you? Mr. Duke, I'm your girlfriend! We're lovers. You're saying this about your lover? About a woman bearing your children?! Aren't you being ungentlemanly?"

Duke Eton sneered. "Do you know why those bodyguards are called Death Warriors? It's because I can guarantee that unless they were drugged, they would never betray the secrets of the mansion, even if they were facing torture and death. Not all bodyguards can be called Death Warriors."
