Ian hurried forward, his face lighting up with relief when he saw it was someone from the Thompson family. He welcomed them warmly. "Captain Thompson, are you here to see Mr. Salvador? Let us head upstairs!"

"No need." Ralph's expression was stern as he pressed his lips together. Keeping his tone strictly professional, he said, "We are indeed here to see Mr. Salvador, but we need him to come with us to the police station to cooperate with an investigation."

By now, several Salvador Corporation employees had gathered to watch.

They had all heard Ralph's words clearly. He said "cooperate" not "assist".

The subtle difference between the two words carried a world of implications, and everyone there understood it. Ian's mind raced, and he quickly lowered his voice to an almost pleading tone. "Captain Thompson, there are too many people watching. This isn't good for anyone. Could we go upstairs to discuss this in private?"

Ralph's brow furrowed tightly. He understood the procedure better than anyone. But this was not just anyone he was here to take in. It was Justin, the man who had almost become his brother-in-law. The man who had risked his life time and again for his younger sister.

For the first time, Ralph hesitated.

"I'll go with you." Justin's voice was calm as he stepped forward, his expression unreadable as he locked eyes with Ralph.

Ralph pressed his lips together tightly, his gaze conflicted and heavy with emotion.
