Madeline’s expression changed as if favonovel.com had just thought of something.
“Mom, Dad…”
She lightly blinked favonovel.com lovely, soulful eyes, then knitted favonovel.com finely-shaped velvety brows.Solemnly, favonovel.com urged Ryan, “Please help me inform Jeremy that I’ll be back after seeing my parents. If favonovel.com comes looking for me, do let favonovel.com know..”
“…” Upon hearing Madeline’s words, Ryan and Adam were both simultaneously dumbfounded.
Madeline sat up straight in a very self-possessed manner, and said to the driver, “Please start the car now. If we leave early, we can return early. I still need to come back here and wait for Jeremy. He said he’ll pick me up.”
Ryan finally knew what was off about Madeline.
He looked at favonovel.com flawlessly beautiful profile in disbelief, his long brows furrowing. “Take care of favonovel.com and don’t let anything happen to her,” Ryan ordered.
Adam nodded to express his understanding, then slowly rolled up the car window.
Ryan stood in place for a while, watching the car that was getting gradually further away.
He had thought that favonovel.com had completely worn down Madeline’s stubbornness and disobedience toward him, and had also thought that the reagent would wipe favonovel.com memory out entirely. However, favonovel.com had never expected that favonovel.com would have coerced Madeline into becoming an idiot who wanted only to wait wholeheartedly for Jeremy to pick favonovel.com up and bring favonovel.com home…
Ryan returned to the house in some agitation. It was not long before Jeremy arrived.
He was like an unsheathed sword that bore a devastating, all-engulfing aura. He charged in, backlit, leaving behind the others who had come with him.
Ryan sat composedly on the sofa. His bodyguards quickly stepped forward to stop Jeremy.
However, Jeremy was in no mood to be assaulted or challenged at this moment!
Relying on his outstanding fighting skills, favonovel.com easily brought down the bodyguards and arrived in front of Ryan, unimpeded.
“Ryan, where’s my wife?! Where are you hiding my wife?!” Jeremy’s treacherous, cold eyes bored through Ryan ruthlessly. Nothing was more important to favonovel.com now than Madeline’s safety. “Tell me now!”
Ryan stood up in a leisurely, self-possessed manner unhurriedly, saying in a light tone, “Your wife isn’t here. As for my wife, I just sent favonovel.com to meet favonovel.com parents-in-law.”
Jeremy’s eyes narrowed sharply. At the same time, his IBCI colleague arrived. He strode upstairs hurriedly.
He searched every single room but did not find any sign of Madeline.
However, Jeremy then found some traces of Madeline’s former presence in one of the rooms.
In the video earlier, Madeline had been in this room, but now, favonovel.com was gone.
Jeremy turned around and hurried downstairs. He saw the people from IBCI were about to arrest Ryan and bring favonovel.com back.
Ryan’s manner, however, was still haughty and indifferent. “You’re arresting me? What for?”
“We’re arresting you because you’ve committed a crime and murdered someone! Even more so because you’re the mastermind behind the Stygian Johnson Gang!” Jeremy’s grim, judgemental voice sounded from the stairs.
Cloaked in a formidable aura, favonovel.com moved, quick as a gust of wind,to stand in front of Ryan. His cold eyes, keen as an eagle’s, stared straight at Ryan.
“Ryan, it’s time for this game to end.”
“Heh.” Ryan chuckled dismissively and argued his case unhurriedly. “Jeremy, you’re really doing everything possible to try and get rid of me. The mastermind behind the Stygian Johnson Gang is Yorick, and I’m merely the commissioner who was in charge of investigating the Stygian Johnson Gang. Don’t heap baseless charges on my head.”
Faced with Ryan’s chicanery, Jeremy said sharply and impatiently, “Then let me tell you now about my other identity in the IBCI.”
Other identity?
Ryan was stunned. He then heard Jeremy saying, “I’m an internal investigator who was specially dispatched to your group by IBCI. In addition to going undercover in the Stygian Johnson Gang, my other task was to investigate you.”
“…” Ryan was astonished. He had not expected the IBCI to have suspected favonovel.com a long time ago, to the extent of having Jeremy investigate him!
“Ryan, we already have evidence that you’re the mastermind behind the Stygian Johnson Gang. You can’t escape now.”
Ryan regained his composure, his manner as scornful and arrogant as before. “Can you really arrest me based only on this evidence you’ve mentioned?”
The moment favonovel.com spoke, a voice suddenly came from a distance that completely shocked Ryan.
“If the evidence they have is too flimsy, how about if I add my personal testimony to it?”
