Sweet Twins

Chapter 585 Guardian Angel

Joseph's conceit stemmed from the fact that he had Charles as his backer. Ever since he was a child, Charles always acted as his guardian angel.

Joseph believed that Charles would continue to act as his guardian angel in the present and in the future, just like he did in the past.

"Hello, Mr. Fu," the policeman greeted.

"Excuse me, what did Joseph do?" Charles asked. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

"We're just following a routine. It's just that... Even though we have apprehended the culprits, David and Dale, we haven't found out anything concrete yet. We have got their confession, and they are ready to take full responsibility. However, doesn't the Fu family own the club? So it must have it's hand in this pie too, right?" the policeman asked.

"Yes, you're right, and I support your investigation. I hope you can investigate this matter and find out the truth. But I don't want you to discredit the Fu family in the process. TS Group has been doing business in a prim and proper way for years. Do you have any idea how much our group contributes to the city's economy?" Charles asked with emotionless eyes.

"Mr. Fu, y-you're right. We will investigate this matter and find out the truth soon. You can rest assured, we won't blame anyone innocent." Thick droplets of sweat dripped from the policeman's forehead.

Charles would never get involved in the dirty side of the business world.

The police didn't dare bring Frederic, who was suffering from a grave illness. They were clueless about their next step.

"Mr. Fu, about Joseph..." the policeman asked in a low voice.

"Haven't you interrogated him? Have you found anything?" Charles asked in a frigid tone.

"We didn't get anything from him," the policeman answered without hiding anything.

"Then let him out. I'll pick him up," Charles said as he got out of bed.

"O-okay, we also think that we should let Joseph leave." Without evidence, they couldn't detain Joseph anyway, unless they had the proper authorization.

They also wanted Charles to take Joseph away.

"Okay, I'll come right away." Charles ended the call.

Charles grabbed his clothes, dressed, and walked out of the room. But what he didn't expect was Nancy standing just beside the door.

Even Nancy was stunned for a second. How could she have known that Charles would come out all of a sudden? She almost fell down from the shock!

"Ah, C-Charles, I came here j-just a second ago. W-why were you sleeping in the guest room?" Nancy asked, trying to mask her awkwardness.

She tried her best to hide the fact that she was eavesdropping.

"I didn't want to disturb you. You had a difficult operation today, so I figured that you needed a good night's rest. Nancy, I'm going out now. Have a good rest, okay?" Then Charles went downstairs.

"Hey, it's so late. Where are you going, Charles?" Nancy asked while following Charles.

"It's something related to the group. You should sleep." Charles didn't want Nancy to know that Joseph had been interrogated, so he made up an excuse.

Nancy found it inapt to continue asking Charles. For a moment, she even wanted to follow Charles in secret and see where he was going.

But wouldn't that make her the same as Charles? Also, she found following others annoying.

Nancy restrained her curiosity and went back to her room.

She wondered who was on the phone with Charles.

Charles soon came to the police station and told them everything he knew about the club.

"Mr. Fu, do you think there is someone else behind the club?" the policeman asked.

"It's hard to say. The specific situation depends on your final investigation results." With a sincere expression, Charles said, "As long as you have evidence, regardless of who the culprit is, he should be punished."

"We can rest assured with your words. But Mr. Fu, we all know that the legal representative of the club is Frederic. If Frederic made a mistake and did something wrong, what do you think we should do? Of course, this is just a personal guess," the policeman said in a cautious tone.

Since Frederic was the legal representative, the policeman assumed that he must have something to do with this matter.

"You bastard! How dare you talk about my grandfather like that? Let me tell you, my grandfather has always been an upright individual. How could a man like him violate the law? You can't slander him just because he is the legal representative of that club!" Before Charles could say anything, Joseph got furious and yelled.

"Joseph, don't worry. That was just a random thought. Even we hope that Frederic has nothing to do with this. But if something really happens..." The policeman was at a loss for words. Logically, they

should call Frederic here and interrogate him. However, given his health and social status, they didn't dare act rashly.

Moreover, they just couldn't come to terms with the fact that someone as rich as Frederic would do something so rash for money.

Therefore, in the face of Joseph's anger, they could only comfort him and dare not act tough.

If they acted tough, it would only add fuel to the fire.

It was not a wise thing to quarrel with the Fu family.

"Bullshit! Let me tell you. My grandfather has nothing to do it. He is a good person!" Joseph couldn't care less about police and their authority. After all, Charles stood behind him.

He knew only one thing: bullying others while riding Charles' coattails.

"Okay, we will listen to you. Frederic has nothing to do with it, alright?" The policeman compromised.

In the end, Joseph won the battle.

"Well, can we leave now?" Charles asked the policeman.

The policeman hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Fu, we still have to call my boss. After he gives his instructions, you can take Joseph out of here."

"Where is your boss?" Charles asked.

Joseph wasn't a nobody who could be interrogated at a whim. If the police really wanted to interrogate him, at least some higher-level officer had to personally come. But the reality was that some random policeman was interrogating him. No wonder Joseph was annoyed.

"When our boss was on a mission yesterday, he was informed that his child had a car accident. He is in hospital now. Alas, what bad luck!" the policeman sighed.

"What's your boss' name?" Charles was shocked. It suddenly hit him. The police officer was the policeman that Nancy mentioned yesterday! He indeed went to Romantic Private Club yesterday. He was really related to this case.

So many coincidences in the world!

"Our boss' name is Colten Li, and his child's name is Finn. Mr. Li thinks there is someone else behind the club. He is a serious and cautious person; I think his guess is right. What do you think, Mr. Fu?" The policeman looked at Charles with burning eyes.

Charles raised his eyebrow and said, "I think so too. Trust me. I hate those who do bad things just as you do. We are all good people, aren't we?"

"Yes, you are right." the policeman agreed in an instant.
