“Do you remember what | told you before?” Ryan asked.

Even though Ryan had only recently become an adult, he handled situations with maturity. He would sometimes purposefully act naive in front of Anna. He didn’t bother pretending in front of Wayne, though.

Wayne appeared solemn, like a statue. He then analyzed, “Richard owns approximately twenty nightclubs in Birmingham. The police discovered drugs in two clubs this time, but neither had anything to do with him. | paid close attention to where they were checking this time and was surprised that they didn’t check even one of Richard’s clubs.”

Ryan looked at Wayne, hoping he understood what he was saying.

Wayne certainly got his meaning, as he had expected. They both knew there would be no such thing as a coincidence in the world.

Since the cops were going to search the entire city for illegal drugs, they wouldn’t have spared all of Richard’s nightclubs.

Asa result, they both suspected Richard of bribing the cops.

“What are your plans?” Wayne asked, his brow furrowed.

“To be honest, I’m not going to call the drug squad and tell them about it. Next month, our school will host a live exercise with the Eighth Military District, and the Blue Eagle Department is located right downtown. | believe they are more trustworthy than the drug squad. But I’m only concerned about one thing: the driver saw Anna.”

Ryan paused briefly before continuing, Normally, drug dealers are extremely cautious and cruel. I’m afraid that he might endanger Anna or even kill her.”

Wayne became serious after hearing his words, knowing that Ryan’s concerns made sense.

In the evening, Anna had just finished signing with a client when her phone in her pocket kept vibrating.

She took it out and found that someone had sent her several text, messages. To her surprise, they were all from Leon.

Leon had just texted her to say hello after she left the studio.

And she had no idea how he had got her cell phone number. She examined the messages and noticed that Leon didn’t send any words to her. Instead, he sent a lot of emojis and selfies with words on them:
