<h4>Chapter 460: Infiltrating</h4>


    As the woman confirmed him not to be a stranger or a reporter, he was allowed inside.


    Ryder approached the woman and asked, "Alem is upstairs, right?"


    "Yeah. Sir is in his room. Do you have a meeting today as well? Sigh, why am I never told about meetings rted to you? It was the samest time as well. It’s fine. Let me call him to confirm," the woman answered before she picked up the phone to dial Alem.


    "It’s fine. You call him; I’ll use the restroom in the meanwhile," Ryder let out as he smiled innocently.


    "Sure. It’s towards the left," the woman let out as she pointed towards the left side.


    Ryder had hoped for that ce to be close to the lift or the stairs, but it was in theplete opposite direction. Having no choice, he walked away towards the toilet.


    "Hello. Yes, Sir. Mister Ryder is here to meet you again. He says that he had a meeting with you," the woman informed Alem.


    When Alem was informed of Ryder’s, he was sitting in his office. He couldn’t help but stand up, shocked at the information. He remembered how damaging thest visit of Ryder was. He didn’t wish to meet him today.


    As Ryder entered the toilet, he already expected how Alem would answer.


    ’That idiot would certainly tell her to make an excuse to send me away. Too bad for him, I know all tricks of people like him,’ Ryder thought as he stepped inside the toilet. He saw only one person inside the ce who was washing his hand.


    Ryder silently approached the man from behind before he hit the back of the man’s neck, making him lose consciousness.


    The man was a worker in this ce as he had the identity card of dream corporation. This was what Ryder needed. It was a permit to reach Alem.


    After making the man lose consciousness, he tied the man’s hand using his tie before he ced his body inside a stall and closed the door from inside. After closing the door from inside, he jumped outside from the top using his flying abilities.


    He didn’t forget to tie the man’s mouth as well.


    He had changed his looks with the looks of the unconscious man and also switched the clothes. The unconscious man only remained in his underwear now.


    After being done with the preparation, Ryder left the washroom.


    "He is here? Make an excuse. I don’t wish to meet him now. Tell him that I have left. Tell him toe next week. He shouldn’t know I’m still in this building," Alem told the receptionist who had just informed him of Ryder’s arrival.


    The receptionist was increasingly shocked. Alem was more like a stern boss in her head. Why did it seem like he was scared of Ryder? It was not her position to ask more questions to him, so she agreed.


    "Yes, Sir, I’ll send him back."


    After her acknowledgment, Alem disconnected the call.


    Since the woman was given themands to send Ryder back, she started looking towards the washroom in order to wait for Ryder.


    Ryder did walk out of the washroom in front of her eyes, but he was an entirely different person altogether. Ryder was wearing a professional ck suit and ck pants. There was apany identification card hanging on his neck. Only a necktie was missing toplete his professional look.


    As his face was different, the woman didn’t recognize him. He walked to the lift right in front of her eyes and entered the lift. He was taken to Alem’s room using the liftst time, so he knew how to go there.


    The lift made a sound as it stopped on his desired floor. Ryder stepped out of the left and walked towards the left where Alem’s room was.


    There were no guards on this floor as most of the security was on the first floor. Without any trouble, Ryder reached before Alem’s office.


    He looked around to make sure that there were no cameras. Only when he was sure did he cancel the transformation.


    Knock! Knock!


    He knocked on the door respectfully.


    "Who is it?" A voice came from inside, which belonged to Alem. After making sure that it was Alem who was inside, Ryder opened the door and stepped inside.


    "You!"


    Seeing Ryder, Alem hurriedly stood up. Ryder had thought that Alem would try to press the help button, which was on the table. That’s why he has prepared against that as well.


    However, against all expectations, Alem didn’t try anything. He just stood surprised that Ryder had managed to reach that ce.


    Ryder stepped towards Alem as hemanded, "Don’t you dare try anything to call for help. I’m just here for some answers."


    "Sure. What do you want to know?" Alem asked as he gestured for Ryder to sit.


    Ryder pulled the chair back before he sat on it. "Aren’t you going to get me to sign an NDA this time?"


    "There’s no need anymore," Alem answered.


    "Oh, because you’re already selling Shu’spany? It’s toote for anything to go wrong, isn’t it?" Ryder asked.


    Alem didn’t answer this time as he sat down as well.


    "Alright. I’ll get back to my question. I’m here to ask about Shu," Ryder let out. "Where is he?"


    "What do you mean where he is? He is dead. He is in heaven. Where else?" Alem answered carefully.


    "Oh? Heaven, huh. And where is his body?" Ryder inquired further.


    "It’s buried in the graveyard that I told you about. Did you not go to that ce? There’s a big tombstone with his name. His body is inside a fully gold engraved coffin. You should go there and pay respect."


    Alem didn’t seem to be getting a hint.


    "I should go to the Graveyard to pay respect to an empty coffin? Interesting concept," Ryder let outzily as he rolled his eyes.


    Even though he seemed like he hadzily said it, he was still carefully observing Alem’s reaction. As soon as he talked about the empty coffin, he got a strong response from Alem, which made him certain that Alen knew something about it.


    "What do you mean? What empty coffin?" Alem asked as he controlled his emotions, hoping that Ryder hadn’t seen them.


    "Did you really think I wouldn’t know? You gave him the burial yourself, right? So could you exin to me a simple thing? Why is his coffin empty?" Ryder inquired.


    "What empty? If not empty at all," Alem replied.


    "Oh? It isn’t? I might be wrong then. Why don’t youe with me then? We’ll get the coffin out of the ground in front of its eyes. Let’s see how truthful you are," Ryder let out as he grinned.


    That was when Alem’s phone started ringing.


    "Pick it up. If you said anything about me, you know the consequences," Ryder warned Alem while giving him the permission to pick up the phone.


    Alem nodded as he picked up the call.


    "Hello?"


    He only said one word before he went silent. After a few minutes, he continued. " Right away."


    He pushed the phone towards Ryder. "It’s for you."


    "For me? Who is calling me on your number? No one knows I’m here," Ryder let out in confusion, but he still took the phone.


    As soon as he ced the phone on his ear, his mouth opened slightly.


    A familiar voice fell on his ears.


    "Brother, please don’t make things difficult for Alem."


    The voice... Ryder couldn’t forget this voice. It belonged to...


    "Shu?" he eximed in surprise.


    "One and only," Shu answered as he smiled.


    "You are still alive?" Ryder asked as he stood up.


    "Of course I am alive. How else do you expect me to talk to you?" Shu answered instantly.


    "What is this about? Alem told me that you’re dead. Was he joking with me?" Ryder asked Shu.


    "It wasn’t a joke. All the Higher-ups think that I’m dead. Don’t worry; today is thest day of this misunderstanding. Everything will be clear today," Shu replied to Ryder.


    "Also, I have something to tell you," he continued.


    Ryder waited patiently to hear what Shu had to say, but he couldn’t get the smile off his face. Shu was alive. This dumbass was actually alive. He was so happy that the guy didn’t die.


    "I would like to apologize to you. Because of my n, I couldn’t contact you. I didn’t expect you toe here and find out about my so-called death. It’s not true. I didn’t want to worry you unnecessarily, so I told Alem not to include you in this. I’m sorry," Shu apologized to Ryder.


    "You duffer, you could’ve at least messaged me once. I would have helped you in whatever you’re trying to do. Sigh, you really scared me, you know that? I haven’t even told Alice about this yet. You owe her an apology for disappearing like that," Ryder responded.


    "Of course. I would exin everything soon," Shu answered.
