Chapter 407 Stanley Followed Along
He pursed his lips, not knowing what he was thinking, and simply said, “Ms. Conner, the gentleman is
not a bad person.”
I laughed, finding it ironic, “Not a bad person? A man with blood all over his hands, and you’re telling
me he’s not a bad person, Sebastian? How much money did he give you to whitewash him so
unprincipledly?”
I glanced at him and sneered, continuing, “But of course, there’s no difference between you and him
now. Birds of a feather, I understand you’d help each other out with a few kind words.”
He furrowed his brows, opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he didn’t. He just
stood quietly to the side like a piece of wood.
The ship was not small, with a full three decks. I was a child who up inland. Although I had seen the
sea more than once, I was still curious about this vast and boundless scenery.

I found a spot to sit on the deck, the speed of the ship was fast, and the wind on the sea was
particularly arrogant. After being blown for a long time, I felt my mouth dry and my tongue parched. I
glanced at
Sebastian who was still standing next to me, I said, “Sebastian, I’m thirsty.”
He nodded, no longer showing the previous warmth towards me, and entered the cabin with a stern
expression. Seeing him leave, I got up and prepared to go to the cabins on other floors along the
stairs.
There were many rooms in the ship’s hold, most of which were occupied by Ezra’s people. I was
wandering around aimlessly, feeling

bored. As I was thinking about going back, I suddenly saw a man rushing out from a corner. The sound
of pursuit came from behind him, “Quick, catch him.”
Our eyes met, and without much thought, I pushed open the door next to me. The man in front of me
was quick, abruptly pulling me into the
room.
I closed the door, my eyes wide in disbelief as I stared at the man in front of me. How could he be
here?
After the hurried footsteps outside had faded away, I looked at the man in front of me and asked,
“Officer Lu, what are you doing here?”
Looking at me, Stanley scratched his head a bit awkwardly and said, “I’ve been following all the way
here, originally planning to wait for reinforcements before taking action. I didn’t expect to be discovered
just now.”
I was confused, “Take action?”
He nodded, without time to explain, both of us were suddenly jolted by a force of inertia. Immediately
after, I distinctly felt the boat we were on had stopped.
He looked at me, whispering, “I damaged some small parts of the hull, the ship won’t be able to sail for
a while.”
Realizing what he had just said about reinforcements, I asked, “Were you trying to stall for time until
other police officers arrived?”
He nodded, his expression serious, “If I let Yi get into international waters, I would no longer be able to
find out the truth.”
As he spoke, he suddenly looked at me, furrowing his brows, “Ms. Conner, you know how Uncle Yang
died, don’t you?”

I didn’t know how much he had found out, but now that I had the chance to meet him alone, I naturally
wouldn’t hide anything anymore. I said, “Daniel is actually the former border leader Ezra. He didn’t die.
he just changed his identity and came to River City.”
Stanley’s face grew serious as he looked at me and said, “If you knew his true identity, why did you still
go with him?”
Seeing that he wasn’t surprised by what I had just said, I paused and asked, “Did you guess it?”
He nodded, “All the things Uncle Yang found during this period are in his office. I’m not stupid, at least I
can guess most of it if I connect all the things together.”
Hearing this, I pursed my lips and sighed, “Ezra is a madman. When he goes mad, he really would
drag everyone down to hell with him. His desire to take me along at least shows that I am useful to him,
he won’t kill me for now.”
He pursed his lips, furrowed his brows, and said, “The police have no evidence, they can’t detain him,
but I must find a way to keep him here. Only by keeping him in the country can we bring him to
justice.”
Hearing his words, I couldn’t help but say, “Find a way to keep him? What… what have you done on Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
this ship?”
He raised an eyebrow, looking at me and said, “Your mind works pretty fast, but I can’t tell you now,
you’ll know soon.”
Would know in a moment?
Because the ship had a problem, Ezra’s people were busy checking the issue. Stanley and I found a
place to hide temporarily. According to Stanley’s plan, it wouldn’t be long before the domestic maritime
police would arrive. When they proposed an inspection, Ezra wouldn’t resist.

As long as problems were found during the inspection on the ship. Ezra would be detained, unable to
reach the high seas. During the days of being interrogated by the maritime patrol, if enough evidence
could be found, the police would be able to arrest Ezra.
