Chapter 889 Clearing Suspicion!
Chapter 889 Clearing Suspicion!
Ding!
Their phones chimed simultaneously!
An unexpected news alert suddenly popped up! 'Breaking news: Two police officers brutally murdered while tracking a criminal suspect!'
Upon seeing this news, Xaria, Cedric, and Emmett were all taken aback.
When Emmett was about to spill the truth earlier, Xaria had already suspected they were lying! She didn't anticipate that there would be news related to their situation.
Cedric and Emmett were even more bewildered! They had no clue what was happening!
Xaria carefully read the news, which matched exactly what the two had just said!
She confusedly looked at Emmett and asked, "What were you about to say just now?"
"I..." Emmett's mind raced. "I wanted to say that I didn't kill those two people. It was all done by Mr. Stanton..."
Xaria was speechless. "You two are partners. It doesn't matter who did the killing!" Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Cedric's expression changed rapidly. Although he didn't know how this news came about, it conveniently cleared their suspicion, so he naturally had to seize this perfect opportunity!
"Leader," Cedric took a deep breath and said, "Now that you believe what we said is true, can you give us your next orders?"
Xaria looked deeply at Cedric and said in a serious tone, "Alright, your next mission is still to protect the website administrator. Currently, he is located in an abandoned factory in Cleapolis Luminix
Electronics Factory. You must stay hidden around ten kilometers away from him. If the Qustia Military approaches, you must expose yourselves without hesitation, attract their attention, and buy him time to escape!"
"Yes!" Cedric and Emmett stood up and responded in unison.
"Alright, you may leave now. Take these two gift boxes and bury them in the yard of Nearcity Village No. 23."
"Yes!" Cedric and Emmett each picked up a gift box and prepared to leave.
At that moment, Xaria suddenly remembered something and asked, "Cedric, what's the deal with your phone number? It doesn't look like one of those standard phones we got, right?"
"Yes, the previous phone number was already being traced by the police," Cedric explained, "This one was given to us by an underworld boss. He claimed this SIM card is totally secure and won't leave any records."
Xaria finally felt relieved. "Well, then you guys should stick with that. The Qustia underworld can really pull off some surprising tricks."
After Cedric and Emmett walked out of Lucky Cafe, they sighed in relief. They were extremely puzzled by the sudden news. However, they didn't dare to discuss it here. They quietly started discussing after they arrived at Nearcity Village and buried the two gift boxes in the yard of No. 23.
"Mr. Stanton, what the heck is going on?" Emmett whispered, "Those two guys were clearly the thugs killed by Boss Nicholson. How in the world is there actual news about it?"
Cedric's eyes darted around. "How should I know? I was just as scared as you were back there!" Suddenly, he raised his hand and slapped Emmett hard across the face. "D*mn it! Were you trying to admit those two weren't from the police?"
"I... I messed up!" Emmett hung his head. "I'm sorry."
Cedric pointed at his nose. "Do you think Kami is someone to be trifled with? We would be in deep trouble if he found out we tried to deceive him!"
Emmett bowed deeply. "Yes! I know I was wrong!" Then, he slowly straightened up and said, "But, Mr. Stanton, we still need to get to the bottom of that news. I feel uneasy about it."
"That is indeed a major problem." Cedric frowned. "This plan was supposed to be known only to us two, and there shouldn't be anyone else..." Cedric suddenly became alert as he said that. "Wait a minute!"
