Dylan called Min while I gathered some materials to bury Rosie. I grabbed a shovel, some flowers and an old blanket.
When I returned to the living room, Dylan was taking pictures of Rosie's body.
"What did Min say?" I asked him.
"He said we needed to take pictures of her body. And to take note when and what exactly happened. I'm giving him this note as well. I'll be back babe. I just need to report this to the security of your building as well." He said.
"Okay, let me grab the first note I got from the stalker." I quickly took the first note out of my wallet and handed it to him as well.
He briefly glanced at it, his hand tightened but deciding that it was an important evidence he quickly tuck it inside his pockets. He then went to the lobby to report the incident.
Dylan's POV
F!ck! F!ck! What in god damn's name is that assh0le doing? I don't know if I'll wait for the police to do their proper investigation or I myself will come after him. I can probably ask Xize's help, my hands are itching to beat the crap out of the stalker.
This f!cker clearly needed to be locked up behind bars. He's been tormenting Yue emotionally and mentally. I saw the bags in her eyes awhile ago. She wasn't really sleeping well, I knew it.
I closed my hands so tight my knuckles turned white, trying to reach for some semblance of control.
Once I reach the lobby, I went straight to the security guard who was monitoring the main lobby.
He quickly greeted me as soon as he saw me approaching.
"Mr. Wang, what seems to be the problem?" He asked noting the frustration in my countenance.
"Can I speak to the head security of this building?" I asked.
"Ah yes, Mr. Wang. Please wait for a few moment, I'll radio the office." He said. I nodded and looked around taking note of the receptionist.
I ambled towards her, deciding to ask her one of the questions that's been bugging my mind.
"Good evening Mr. Wang. What can I do for you?" She asked.
"Hi. I just wanted to ask if you're the one on duty when a package arrived for Yue?"
"Yes, sir. It was delivered just a few minutes before Ms. Shen Yue arrived."
"Can you describe the person who brought it?" I further inquired.
"I think so. I told Ms. Shen Yue that it was brought here by a delivery guy. He was around 5 ft. 8 inches tall, wearing the company's uniform with a grey hoodie on top of it. I can't clearly see his face since it was shadowed by his cap." She tried to recall.
"Okay, thank you so much."
"Is there anything wrong with Ms. Shen Yue?" She prodded.
"No. She's fine. Thank you." I said, not wanting outsiders to find out about it.
"You're welcome." She said back and smiled.
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Jang asked if it's okay with you to meet him at his office?" The guard asked.
"Sure. That would be better." I agreed. He led me to the backoffice where the security center was located. The place were exactly the same as Min's except for the potted plants located on every corner of the room.
"Mr. Wang, good evening. I'm Jang Li, head of security. You wanted to talk to me?" He came forward and shook my hand.
"Hi, Mr. Jang. I just wanted to report an incident regarding Yue." I informed him.
"Please just call me Li. Have a seat." He gestured towards one of the couches.
"I'll get straight to the point then. Yue received a package from the lobby awhile ago. She called me up to come by because someone sent her a dead cat. The cat was clearly tortured before being sent to her. There was even a note that came with it."
"She was traumatized because this is the first time that someone sent such gruesome gift to her. Do you actually screen everyone that's coming in and out of this building?" I asked him directly. A bit pissed that such an incident could occur on a supposed to be highly secured complex.
Li grimaced at that, probably disappointed at their security protocol.
"We're very sorry about this Mr. Wang. Is it still in Ms. Yue's apartment? Can I send someone to inspect it?" He inquired.
"Yes. But she wants to bury it. She has a soft spot for cats. So please allow her to do that after the mishap she had just experienced." I requested.
He nodded and motioned the guard that came with me to investigate the package.
"We are truly embarassed by this Mr. Wang. Was there any other time that something unusual happened?" He prodded.
"As a matter of fact yes. I just heard this from Yue a few days ago. She had actually received notes from the same person. He was actually able to come up and slide the note under her door. That's why I'm asking, are you properly screening all the person that comes and goes here?" I asked. I was barely controlling my anger since this was already the second time the stalker had managed to rattle Yue, right in her very own home.
"We do Mr. Wang. We are very strict when it comes to that. However, I believe some of our employees are not following the protocol. I deeply apologized fir that. Can Ms. Yue remember when was the note left? That way we can investigate about it. We will do our best to resolve this matter." He reassured.
I sighed.
"We actually plan on making an official report about this. But because of our busy schedule, it has somehow escalated to this. Yue has a stalker threatening and following her around. We should've probably given you a heads up as well. But a similar incident has happened with me. I can connect you with my apartment's head of security, Mr. Huang Min. He was the one who is currently helping us on this matter. He would tell you all the details." I handed him Min's business card.
"Thank you for this Mr. Wang. We weren't aware that such thing was already happening with Ms. Shen Yue. Rest assured that we will tighten the security around here. I'll coordinate with Mr. Huang regarding this matter. Again, we apologize." He bowed his head.
"Please do. I'll leave it to your hands Li. Sorry about my rash behavior as well. I'm just really worried about Yue's safety." I was really angry but this is not the time to act impulsively without even thinking.
"I completely understand Mr. Wang. We also prioritize the safety of our clients. We will update you as soon as we can." He added.
"Thank you. By the way, the receptionist that is currently on duty is actually the one who received the package. She have the description of the guy who delievered it. I hope that'll help." I informed him.
"It will. Thank you Mr. Wang." He said.
I nodded and went back to Yue's apartment.
Yue's POV
One of the security guards came up awhile ago.
"Good evening Ms. Shen Yue. I was informed that a package was sent to you? Mr. Jang, our head of security asked if I could investigate it first before you bury it?" He asked.
"Good evening. Sure come on in. Here's the box that was sent to me." I pointed him towards the package.
"Just give me a few minutes ma'am and I'll be done." He informed me.
I nodded. And quietly waited for him to finish examining the item.
He inspected and gently prodded Rosie's body. He also took pictures like what Dylan did.
Speaking of which, he arrived just before the guard completed his task.
"Ms. Shen, Mr. Wang we'll be further investigating this matter. I'm really sorry about this." He bowed to the both of us.
"It's alright. Just please, can you screen all gifts that are addressed to me next time? I don't want this to happen again. I'm allowing you to open it before handing it to me."
"Sure thing Ms. Shen. I'll notify Mr. Jang about it. We will try our very best to avoid a repeat of this incident." He promised.
I nodded.
"Thank you." Dylan and I said.
"Goodbye Ms. Shen, Mr. Wang." With that the guard left.
I sighed.
"How was your talk with Mr. Jang?" I turned to ask Dylan.
"It was okay. He'll coordinate with Min. We have to catch your stalker as soon as we can. In the mean time, we have to inform your management about this babe. They also need to know about this." He suggested.
"I know. I'll go to the main office with jie tomorrow in my free time." I reassured him.
"I could go with you." He offered.
"You're too busy already. What you did here is already enough, babe. I'll be fine." I told him.
"You can lean on me you know that right? We're in this together, Yue. So if anything bothers you, even if it's a petty one, don't ever hesitate to call me. Okay babe?" He asked.
"I will." I agreed.
"You promise?" He clarified.
"I promise." I really do. I felt him ruffle my hair comfortingly.
"Can you wait for me a minute? I'll just arrange Rosie's body."
"Sure babe. Take your time."
And I did. Because no innocent animal deserved what he has done. He'll pay for this one way or another.
