Free Web NovelChapter 1326: Chapter 1321: Discovering a Bag of Suspicious Items (Chu Chu Makes Her Move)
Although he was afraid that his affair with Josephine Hawthorne might be exposed, Harry Zachary was even more afraid that Hannah Hargrave’s act of hiring a hitman might be uncovered.
After all, he was involved.
He wasn’t ignorant of the law and knew his actions made him an accomplice.
Testifying against Hannah Hargrave would be the same as testifying against himself—he resolutely refused to do anything that would harm his own interests!
Leaning back in his chair, Harry Zachary put on a smiling face, "Sorry, Director Croft, I don’t understand what you’re talking about."
"Don’t understand? Then let me explain it to you," Nicholas Croft said slowly, staring into Harry Zachary’s eyes, "Half a year ago, Hannah Hargrave instructed you to hire Zhou Qiang to intentionally cause that car accident, in exchange for helping his daughter get an overseas study opportunity... Harry Zachary, am I right?"
When Nicholas Croft finished speaking, Harry Zachary applauded with a slow clap and said leisurely, "Director Croft, no wonder you’re in the entertainment and film industry—your storytelling is so convincing that I almost believed it myself."
Nicholas Croft...
Squinted his eyes, his thin lips tightly pressed into a straight line. frёeωebɳovel.com
He hadn’t expected Harry Zachary to be so hard to crack, so loyal to Hannah Hargrave.
"Do you have any other business, Director Croft? If not, I’ll be leaving; Miss Hargrave is still waiting for me at the hospital."
Harry Zachary stood up, nodded slightly, and strode away under Nicholas Croft’s gaze.
After leaving the café, he let out a heavy sigh, then walked towards his car.
Seeing Harry Zachary drive away in his Jeep, Assistant Tang took out his phone and dialed a number, "President, the second plan is successfully executed."
"Did you alert the other side?" Inside the café, Nicholas Croft held a phone in one hand and rested the other on the table, his handsome face gloomy.
"It’s all set; they’ll intercept him about five minutes down the road."
"Alright, follow up then."
Nicholas Croft ordered coldly, and Assistant Tang respectfully responded, putting away his phone and quickly heading towards his car.
Recently, traffic management in T City has been strict, often checking for drunk drivers on the roadside. Usually, it’s done at night, but a midday inspection seemed like the first.
Harry Zachary slowed down, following the cars in front into the barricaded road by the traffic police. Watching the driver ahead raise their car window as they passed the separation line, Harry Zachary also lowered his window.
"Hello, please step out and cooperate with us for enforcement." The traffic police gave a standard salute to Harry Zachary, unlike the driver before him, not asking him to blow into the device.
Harry Zachary hesitated for a moment, then pushed open the car door and got out.
A traffic officer approached him, starting an inspection from top to bottom, while two other officers opened the Jeep doors, scanning inside with devices.
"Officer, isn’t this a check for drunk driving?" Harry Zachary queried, puzzled, turning his head back. In front of him, the officer checking him sternly reminded him, "Please cooperate with our inspection."
Harry Zachary...
Let out a helpless sigh and turned back.
Forget it, no matter what they’re checking for, he’s a legal citizen—why should he be afraid of inspection?
Behind him, a "beep-beep" sound came from an instrument in a police officer’s hand. Two officers exchanged glances, and the officer inspecting Harry Zachary stopped to look over.
One officer unfastened the plastic mold cover on the passenger side door; a bag of white powder appeared in view.
One officer showed the powder to the lead officer in front of Harry Zachary, "Captain, we’ve found a suspicious item."
Harry Zachary...
Even if he hadn’t touched those, he knew what that bag of white powder was. It was just... why was it in his car?
"You’re coming with us." The captain glanced at the plastic bag in his hand, then nodded to his subordinates, "Take him away!"
