Chapter 442: He Had to be One Step Ahead
On Thursday, Calix took a couple of hours off work. Accompanied by Logan and Allen, he went to meet his deceased grandfather’s former close aide.
Calix had already informed Andrian about Nicholas Wu. His father was surprised but, he didn’t undermine the former’s worry.
Andrian was the one who suggested Calix to meet Mr. Guan.
William Guan worked as Old Master Xu’s right-hand man for over forty years. After retiring, the elderly man spent most of his time at his mountain villa in the suburbs of the city.
The last time Calix met Mr. Guan was during a Xu International banquet early this year, way before his sudden marriage to Leslie. The old man seemed to fully enjoy his retirement.
Mr. Guan boasted about the orchids and other flowers he nurtured in his greenhouse. He also mentioned how nice it was to wake up in the morning without having to go to work.

Because Calix had known Mr. Guan for the entirety of his life, he treated the elderly man like a second grandfather figure. He also addressed the latter as such.
"Boss, we’re here."
Calix’s eyes already landed on the two-story villa even before Logan announced their arrival. Mr. Guan was aware of his visit today. The guards at the main gate allowed the car in.
Emerging from the car, Calix stared at the surroundings. He hadn’t come here much before.
The villa was nestled between the towering trees, facing the cliffs.
