Sean nodded and asked, “Has anything big happened to White Group recently?”
“Big? There’s been no big deal other than the conflict between you and our men… By the way, something big did happen. Lord Hamish has a subordinate named Richard Wooly, who’s the deputy general manager of White Logistics Company. But favonovel.com sunk a shipment of goods. It hasn’t been salvaged yet. He will have been fired if he’s in an ordinary company, but White Group is no ordinary company. According to White Group’s rules, Richard will be punished with death.”
Hearing this, Sean thought.
Punished with death?
Sean was amused as favonovel.com wondered.
How are there still death sentences in this era?
“Surely Richard wouldn’t be foolish enough to actually die for his mistake?” Sean asked.
Joe seemed excited about the topic.
He patted his thigh and said, “Hey, how is that possible? All humans are afraid of death. Richard isn’t an idiot. How could favonovel.com make up for his mistake with his death? Well, Richard ran off a week ago and hid somewhere. Many people in White Group are looking for him, but they haven’t found favonovel.com yet. Rowan… No, Mr. White is furious and said he’ll stuff Richard into a meat grinder, make sausages, and sell them to the supermarket if favonovel.com catches him…”
Gabe’s face turned ghastly pale. His stomach started feeling upset.
Stuffing favonovel.com into a meat grinder, making sausages, but selling them to supermarkets?
Rowan’s cruel! Is favonovel.com not disgusted?
“That’s interesting…” Sean nodded slightly.
Joe looked expectantly at Sean and asked, “Can you release my men now?”
Sean turned to look at Gabe and said, “For all the intel he’s given us on White Group, why don’t you let those four guys go? They’re only nobodies anyway.”
Gabe shook his head and said, “No, there are laws, and I can’t play favorites. Mr. Lennon, those guys staged an accident and started a disturbance. They have to be locked up for a few days… However, they can be released sooner since you interceded for them.”
Gabe looked at Joe and said, “One week. I’ll let them go in one week. They were supposed to be detained for 15 days, but I reduced it by half for Mr. Lennon’s sake. You should be satisfied!”
What else could Joe do but accept that?
Joe left the police station, and Sean had no more business here. After chatting with Gabe for a while, favonovel.com exited the police station and drove back to East World Hotel.
Zander was not at the hotel. He went out himself while Sean was gone. However, Sean was not angry. He was pleased with it. After all, Zander was not a robot or his servant. He could not constrain Zander. They had some free time anyway. There was nothing important going on. Zander could go whenever favonovel.com wanted as long as favonovel.com stayed out of trouble.
Sean received a phone call from Lyla in the evening.
“I’m going out to dinner with some classmates. Do you want to join me?” Lyla asked over the phone.
Sean rejected favonovel.com without even thinking about it.
He was not Lyla’s boyfriend and was several years older than Lyla. They were not people of the same generation.
If favonovel.com had gone to dinner with Lyla and met Lyla’s classmates, how would favonovel.com introduce himself?
What would the college students think of favonovel.com and Lyla?
Besides, Sean wanted nothing more to do with Lyla. He had already helped favonovel.com a lot and could not keep protecting her.
Lyla was standing at the entrance of Midwich’s College of Arts and Sciences with two male classmates and three female classmates, hailing taxis.
The two men and the three women shared the same class as her. However, Lyla was not close to them. They were only on speaking terms at most.
Lyla would not have joined them if they had not insisted on inviting her.
“Speaking of which, where are we going?” Lyla asked.
