Chapter 1464 Investigation Result

The next day, Jacob arrived early at the company.

He entered his office, and as soon as he sat down, his phone rang.

He leisurely took it out of his pocket to check who it was. He thought that it might just be a random
business partner, but when he saw the caller ID, a pleased smile made its way to his face.

Sure enough, David hadn't let him down. Jacob didn't know a man that could compare with the
brilliance of his dear friend in these kinds of tasks.

One would be envious of Jacob's friendship with David, just because of the mere fact that he was an
extremely reliable friend. Unfortunately, they couldn't get together as much as they liked, because now,
David was always busy with his wife.

'What a pity!' Jacob thought while shaking his head. But on the bright side, David was still as
dependable as before.

Just like with the trouble he faced at that moment, Jacob knew that he could count on David's help
whenever he needed it. The brotherhood they had was priceless. No amount of money could buy this
kind of friendship.

"Hey, Jacob, I've done a bit of digging about that doctor. I've sent my findings to your e-mail. Don't
forget to check it! By the way, what can you say about my efficiency? I'm still as good as before, right?"
David called early that morning to report his results. However, he was a lot more eager to be praised by
Jacob rather than help him. Hence, he wore a smug look on his face.

Although he was a married man and paid little attention to things outside his family, performing
investigations was a profession he had relied on early in his life for survival. With his immense
experience, it wasn't surprising that he was still so good after all these years.



David didn't want to admit it, but he was thankful as well for having a friend like Jacob. With his current
lifestyle, getting the chance to do investigations like this was rare. But being friends with the head of the
HT Group allowed him to do some from time to time.

"Yes, yes, you're extremely efficient as usual. You never let me down," Jacob willingly praised his
friend. He knew deep down that David enjoyed getting his ego fed.

To say that David was good was an understatement. He was meticulous with his ways to the point that
he never came empty-handed from his investigations. Regrettably, he had decided to stop once he had
gotten married to his lovely wife.

"Hey, calling me in the middle of the night to investigate someone the next day isn't nice, you know?
Additionally, forcing me to leave my warm bed to stand in a cold balcony was rude. So tell me, how are
you going to make it up to me?" David bitterly uttered to Jacob at the thought of how much he had
shivered last night.

In his opinion, men who were single and didn't have children couldn't possibly understand why he was
so keen on asking for something in return.

Since Jacob was a longtime friend of his. David didn't care if he seemed like a moocher or not. He
simply wasn't about to let this debt pass by.

Especially since Jacob was the type of guy who didn't like wasting money, it was honestly idiotic to give
up such a golden opportunity.

Otherwise, he wouldn't get a chance like this in the future again. But he chose to ask for something
simple, considering they were friends.

Upon hearing David's words, Jacob flashed a faint smile. He had expected this.



"Just tell me what you want. I'll give it to you as long as it isn't preposterous," Jacob uttered with a
joyous smile on his face.

The way they spoke to each other made it seem like they were real brothers.

"You should at least treat me and my family to a fancy dinner. It might be a good idea to bring your wife
and kids as well," David playfully replied with a grin on his face.

He was excited to be able to go out and have some fun since he hadn't done it for so long. Since the
moment David had gotten married, he wasn't free to do what he wanted anymore. He couldn't even buy
a single beer from a bar, because his wife was in charge of money and she didn't give him any pocket
money.

"That's pretty reasonable," Jacob agreed without giving it a second thought. The decision was easy,
since he also wanted to spend some quality time with his dear friend.

When the two of them settled down, Jacob checked his mail on his phone.

When he read the content of the email, his face turned a little distressed. He was a bit reluctant to
believe what he saw.

The information only stated, "Jonas Lin, male, studied abroad for three years."

Judging by how little information a professional investigator like David could get, Jonas wasn't just a
simple man.

While staring at the screen in front of him, Jacob was lost in thought. He pursed his lip and stayed quiet
for a few minutes.

"Have you read the e-mail I sent you? What do you think? It seems sketchy, right?" David uttered with
a subtle hint of worry in his voice.



He had done his best to investigate the doctor, but it was very unusual that he could only obtain this
much information about the man. It seemed highly likely that someone had deliberately concealed
Jonas's real identity.

David had reached the same conclusion as Jacob's. That was why he wanted to ask if Jacob knew
something else. After all, he was confident in his skills as an investigator, so something dubious must
be going on behind the scenes. But whether David would go to extreme lengths to find out the truth
was up to Jacob.

"I just finished reading it. In my opinion, there's definitely something wrong with that Jonas. A
professional investigator like you should be easily able to find more information, but the fact that you
didn't means that there are people who are clearly hiding something from us. Jacob stood up and
walked toward his office window. He frowned with a dejected expression on his face.

'Who on earth is this man? Is he targeting Emily? If so, why?'

Jacob's thoughts were overwhelmed by these questions. The feeling of knowing so little frightened him.

"It seems that you should be more watchful of this man in the future," David said out of concern.

To Jacob's eyes, the fact that there was so little to go on made it impossible to confront Jonas at this
moment.

"I know, I will. Thanks for your help," Jacob briefly replied.

Afterward, he hung up the phone. He was restless because he couldn't get Jonas out of his mind.

But after considering what other options he had, Jacob concluded that it wasn't a good idea to inform
the charity foundation of Jonas's dubious identity, so he tried his best to forget about it, for now.



He gambled on the fact that the doctor's lies would come out in the end, and that the best course of
action, for now, was to simply wait. Jonas was bound to let his guard down after some time.

All of a sudden, Jacob remembered something from last night. His face turned pale and it seemed like
he was worried about something.

He took his phone out once again and dialed Emily's number. He anxiously tapped his foot on the
ground while waiting for her to answer.

The phone kept ringing, and it seemed like an eternity had gone by. There was no answer and this
caused Jacob to worry even more.

Unwilling to give up, Jacob dialed her number again. A few moments later, the call was finally
connected.

"What are you doing? Why didn't you answer my call the first time?" Jacob had a serious tone when he
questioned Emily. As a result, she was a bit stunned.

It was like a great weight was suddenly lifted off Jacob's shoulders when Emily finally answered.
Needless to say, he was able to calm down and catch his breath.

"I'm sorry. I forgot to tell you that I'm going to the charity foundation for the depressed today. You know
how it's like there and I'll probably be a little busy today. Obviously, I won't be able to answer the phone
all the time," Emily quickly explained to Jacob when he was right about to speak again.

She had actually forgotten to tell Jacob about it in the morning, so she told him in this call. Jacob would
most likely get upset again if she didn't.

She was also aware of his temper. She had to report everything to him. It hadn't been easy at first, but
after some time, she had gotten used to it.



"Who are you going with?" Jacob asked with a subtle hint of worry in his voice. After all, it wasn't safe
for Emily to go out alone. Now, there was a newcomer named Jonas to add to that. He had no choice
but to be vigilant if he wanted to protect his dear wife.
