Chapter 211 Suspicious
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ After Scarlett saw them enter the police station. She locked the car door and opened her laptop.
"Do it quickly, Scarlett!!" She said while loosening her finger before starting. "You can't give them a hint of your location. Or you'll be in trouble!!"
She took a deep breath before her fingers danced across the keyboard, and her gaze only focused on the laptop screen. In no time, she was able to access the traffic police servers. She stored all the records on her servers.
While doing so, she also watched some footage from a few days before the incident at the resort.
Her focus is on staff who are the main suspects, the people he had met the last few days before the incident. She also tracks the digital footprints he left behind. Luckily this man is an extrovert and seldom misses sharing his life on social media.
...
Not long after, Scarlett's cell phone vibrated. She was surprised to receive a text from James. He glanced at the entrance before reading — only to make sure they had not left the police station. She saw a few people standing near the door.
[James: ] Young madam, we're in trouble! The resort staff, the potential suspect in the murder, has taken his own life.
"WHAT!!?" Scarlett shouted in surprise.
Many questions now assailed her mind; How could he kill himself? How could he manage to take his own life inside a police office? Is there Someone who forced him to kill himself?
Instantly her body stiffened with the last sentence that appeared in her mind, "Someone forced this guy to kill himself!? Who!?"
Scarlett stared at the entrance with sharp eyes, feeling that person was still inside.
She could see several people going in and out. However, she did not see anyone suspicious. She didn't see Xander or James among them either.
Her heart began to feel restless. And, of course, curiosity kicks in.
"Why are they taking so long?" Scarlett glanced at her watches. They had entered nearly thirty minutes. Makes her impatient.
"I can't wait! I have to check the situation!" She said as she closed her laptop. But before she could open the car door, her sigh landed on Someone. She felt like she had seen him but wasn't sure where.
Scarlett immediately showed interest in this man by his attractive appearance. His long black hair was neatly tied up, and his body looked taller than anyone else near him.
"This man, where have I seen him?" Scarlett muttered as she watched the man walk out of the police station. The man walked towards her car, which made her wary.
"Damn it!! Is this guy Someone from the underground!? Have I been exposed!? No! Impossible..." She was sure her location was still secure at this point.
The closer the man got to the car, the clearer she saw his face. She thought the man wanted to come to her car but stopped a few steps away near a white sedan.
It was only when the man got into the sedan that Scarlett's memory worked. She remembered where she had seen the man before, from the CCTV footage she had just watched.
She quickly opened her laptop and searched for the footage she had just seen.
"What the fuck!! That guy is the same guy the resort staff met!?" She muttered.
She thought quickly about what she should do. She couldn't let this person go!
But how could she take action in this situation? Xander is with her!
This is really troublesome!
She should have come alone so she wouldn't worry about Xander discovering her other identity. He already knew her as the owner of RAS and a hacker. And if Xander finds out she is not a weak, fragile woman but a woman who can kill if forced to. And could do it without blinking, what would he think? He probably ran away, right!?
Once again, she took a deep breath while her eyes were still on the white sedan — racking her brain for her next move.
Seeing the white sedan leave the parking lot slowly, Scarlett finally decided to follow the car — she would explain it to Xander later. He will definitely understand.
Scarlett put her laptop in the backseat and climbed into the driver's seat. Without hesitation, she started the engine and followed the car.
She couldn't lose this person, she was sure this man knew the real culprit. No matter what, she would make this man open his mouth and say everything.
When Scarlett was chasing the car of a man she suspected. At the same time, Xander and James are seen leaving the police station.
They both are shocked to see no black SUV in the parking lot.
"Where's the car!?" Xander panicked. "Where's my wife?" He looked around but did not find his car. He looked at James, who also had the same expression as him.
"S-Sir, I think the young madam brought the car. Maybe, she goes to find some coffee? Or..." James' words made Xander come to his senses. He tried to call Scarlett but only then realized that even his cell phone was in the car.
'Damn it!!' Xander cursed in his heart for his negligence. How could he not have his cell phone with him? He was sure Scarlett would contact him. There's no way his wife left without telling him, right?
"James, call my wife!" Xander ordered while watching James do what he asked, but the sour expression on James's face made Xander's heart beat even faster.
"Sir, Young Madam isn't picking up her phone!"
"Call my phone!!" Xander's face looks dark, and his voice is getting colder. His mind was scared and annoyed at the same time.
"Same thing! Not picked up..."
Xander's knees felt weak when he realized his cellphone was set to automatically turn off at a particular hour after returning from his business trip. He didn't want Someone to disturb him when he was with her.
Worried that something might happen to Scarlett, Xander turned his gaze toward the police station.
He needs to check the CCTV footage. What really happened was why she suddenly left.
But before that, he ordered James to call his men to start looking for his wife!
