Chapter 1058: Chapter 734: Grand Finale [05] Nora Scott: I’m Just Out Here Doing Good Deeds

"Hmm."

Pedro Langley tore open another pack of nuts for her and handed it to her.

Holding the pack of nuts, Nora Scott raised an eyebrow and glanced sideways at Pedro Langley, "Clever brother?"

"..."

Pedro Langley chuckled, stretched out his finger, and gently tapped her forehead.

"If you’re not in a hurry, just wait for the next delivery." Pedro Langley smiled, "They will eventually need supplies."

"..."

Truly, pregnancy makes one silly for three years.

After a slight pause, Nora Scott asked again, "What if it takes a long time, or if they change the logistics company personnel. With Alexander Vaughn’s caution, he wouldn’t overlook this point. If he really takes Anthony Santos seriously, he would definitely pull him out immediately."

"Then..." Pedro Langley paused, "Act quickly so he can’t pull him out."

"Hmm?"

"Just wait for the news."

"How long?"

Pedro Langley curved his lips, "It’ll be resolved today."

Nora Scott blinked and believed him.

Just as Pedro Langley said, it didn’t take long.

Staying in the villa, Nora Scott learned about all the developments through Biel Hall.

At noon, the police received a report from an enthusiastic citizen, suspecting a fugitive was spotted in a certain location, so the police launched a major arrest operation—though they didn’t catch the fugitive, they did find a group of wounded teenagers, each with extraordinary skills. The police caught half, and the other half escaped.

Along with the teenagers, there were about a dozen adults, all of whom were apprehended.

Upon investigation, these adults were all current employees of a certain logistics company, and the house also contained many items from the logistics company.

On this very day, coincidentally, a provincial leader came for an inspection.

The leader was furious.

It quickly became widely known.

That afternoon, Fenton City mobilized all its police forces to catch the escaped teenagers, while also tracing back through the logistics company to uncover Mr. Bay, Anthony Santos, and others involved. At that time, Anthony Santos was just about to leave, but he was a step too late and was immediately taken to the police station for questioning.

Night fell.

The evening breeze was gentle, Nora Scott sat on the swing in the courtyard, wearing Bluetooth earphones, leisurely listening to Bruce report the news.

As her eyelids lifted, Pedro Langley walked over and handed her a peeled orange.

Nora Scott took it and said, "Anthony Santos got caught."

"Hmm."

"Rosie submitted all the evidence of his commercial crimes, and he will soon receive a court summons," Nora Scott continued.

Pedro Langley was not surprised.

"How did you come up with the idea to report a fugitive as a trick?" Nora Scott curled her lips, asking with some amusement.

"Intelligence," Pedro Langley replied confidently.

"..."

Nora Scott was speechless for a moment.

All the "accidents" today were orchestrated by Pedro Langley.

Upon learning that a leader was coming for an inspection, Pedro Langley specifically chose today to have someone report a "fugitive," reporting the address where the logistics company was transferring goods, hence the police not only didn’t catch the fugitive but unexpectedly ran into them.

Arrest who needed to be arrested, search who needed to be searched.

Afterwards, Pedro Langley made some connections and escalated the matter to the leadership, directly handing over the initiative to them.

The leadership took it very seriously, dispatching not only local police but also support from Xiangel City.

Everything went smoothly.

"What’s next?" Nora Scott asked.

"Didn’t Henry Chapman go to the hospital to communicate with that girl," mentioned Pedro Langley, glancing at his phone again, "Now there’s a result."

The girl, though greatly tormented, had good physical condition and woke up this morning.

Henry Chapman went to see her in the afternoon.

Of course, the hope was to persuade the girl to testify.

How Henry Chapman managed it is unknown, but somehow he did— the girl let down her guard, decided to trust Henry Chapman and the police, and revealed her ordeal in detail.

"Let me see."

Nora Scott raised an eyebrow, extending her hand towards Pedro Langley.

Pedro Langley handed the phone to her.

The phone had a message from Henry Chapman, roughly detailing the girl’s experience.

Two years ago, the girl was sold by her parents to the logistics company as merchandise.

Upon arrival at the logistics company, they underwent a year-long brainwashing education, while being housed in a communal villa for training. The training was mostly skills-oriented, focusing on martial arts and endurance, along with courses in disguise techniques, mechanical equipment, and more.

The specific projects were enough to make one’s hair stand on end.

They were bought in as "goods" and then groomed as "weapons."

Over time, people lose their emotions and become brainwashed, mindless zombies.

—It is said that when the police caught that group of teenagers, they showed very strong resistance, ignoring the police’s inquiries, shutting down and refusing to communicate, which caused issues in the police’s progress.

—Surely, the person who planned all this anticipated this point long ago, and made preparations in advance, deepening the brainwashing to protect the teenagers from exposing them after they were rescued.

—Luckily, there was one girl who was not completely brainwashed.

"Is it done?" Nora Scott asked.

"Almost." Pedro Langley nodded, "Anthony Santos having Alexander Vaughn as the mastermind behind the scenes means the main blame doesn’t fall on him. However, he can’t cleanly escape this."

"Do you remember Annabelle Pinto?" Nora suddenly asked.

"The one who competed with you for Best Supporting Actress?"

"...Yeah."

Nora belatedly responded with a sound.

If Pedro Langley hadn’t mentioned it, she would have already forgotten about this.

—After all, she really didn’t want to win Best Supporting Actress.

"What about her?" Pedro asked suspiciously.

"She once revealed to someone that after siding with Anthony, there was a period when Anthony privately trained her for his own use."

"You want to start with her?"

"No." Nora gently shook her head, "She is loyally devoted to Anthony. If Anthony gets caught, who knows if she might go crazy and do something rash."

Once again, it was a gut feeling.

They don’t have any evidence now and cannot control Annabelle Pinto.

Annabelle Pinto is a public figure and also knows about the Loulanel project... If she wants to take revenge over Anthony’s matter, she might do something dangerous.

Of course, if Annabelle can peacefully let this go and live her life quietly, that would be best.

—But, if Annabelle got brainwashed during the "training" by Anthony’s people, then she might just become a ticking time bomb.

"Keep an eye on her." Pedro Langley was slightly worried.

"Okay."

Nora responded with a sound.

*

After Anthony and the others were caught, Nora, Pedro Langley, and Henry Chapman stayed in Meishanel for three more days.

Firstly, to direct Biel Hall in collecting evidence.

Secondly, because Henry had gained the girl’s trust, and if Henry wasn’t present, the girl wouldn’t cooperate with the police properly.

After three days, the police had gathered all the criminal evidence and confirmed the crimes of Anthony, Mr. Bay, and others, allowing the three of them to finally leave Meishanel.

As for that group of teenagers—

They are not sent back to their families for the time being.

Nora contacted the special psychological department of Biel Hall, transferring these teenagers there for treatment, and only after ensuring their psychological recovery would they return to normal life. Their families would also receive appropriate punishment.

These are matters for later.

Nora only needed to follow up on the subsequent procedures, leaving the tedious tasks to others.

And—

Due to the delay in Meishanel, another batch of tourists came to the town, aiming at Nora and the others. Someone photographed Nora entering and exiting the police station, and it was quickly uploaded online, causing a stir and even trending for a while.

[I really want to start a narrative, but I’m afraid of being proven wrong.]

[Marketing accounts are not afraid of being proven wrong, and the narrative has already taken off. Everyone is saying Nora was causing trouble in Meishanel, injured someone, and was taken to the police station. Now she has been bailed out and seems to have returned to Fenton City.]

[Actually, this isn’t really starting a narrative. Given Nora’s fiery temper and fighting skills, causing trouble... isn’t that a given?]

[Talking facts. The day of the live stream, Nora had just reached Villains Street and got into a fight. Feels like a common occurrence for her.]

[Emmm. Nora: What’s a police station? I’ve even been to jail. You short-sighted trash.]

[Nora’s behavior is arrogant... Honestly, going to the police station is probably like going home for her. I suspect no one caught her entering and leaving the police station before simply because she wasn’t famous.]

...

"Sis, did you go there to visit, or to give brother-in-law a chance to bail you out?"

In the living room, Oliver Scott asked with interest while hugging the snacks he found in Marcus Shaw’s room and playing Marcus’s latest mobile game.

"What?"

Nora sat cross-legged on the sofa, looked up at him.

Oliver placed the snacks on the coffee table, "The other day, Andrew stayed over for a while. When he went for a walk downstairs, an auntie gave him a bunch of snacks, and when he came back, he said he would save them for you when you returned." After saying this, he asked about the police station incident.

"I did a good deed." Nora glanced at him sideways.

"..."

Oliver was so shocked his hands trembled.

Hmm??

Just as he was stunned, Nora suddenly picked up her phone and dialed a number, "Boss Alex, do you still have those banners the police station gave me over the years? Package them and send them to me."

—Making it look like she really was a delinquent girl before.

—If she doesn’t restore her reputation now, what would her future children think?!
