Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 3263 Suspecting Amur

Everyone's eyes were glued to the screen. They were too afraid to even blink, worried that they would miss who started the fire.

The surveillance footage was playing at double speed.

After a while, a figure appeared on the screen.

Everyone turned to look at Kyle.

Abel narrowed his eyes and stared at him.

Kyle rubbed his eyes and realized that the person in the video really was him. He

immediately protested, "It's not me! That can't bein there!"

Abel pointed at the screen and asked, "Are you sure that's not you?"

"Boss, why would I start a fire? I've got no beef with you guys!" Kyle responded in a panic.

"Where were you at three in the morning?" Abel asked again.

He initially suspected that Luca might have hired someone to set the fire.

After all, no one else on the Island of Despair would have had the motive. For someone who was not particularly skilled like Kyle, he would be in deep trouble even if he managed to destroy the base in A City without getting caught.

He would still be doomed once he returned to the Island of Despair.

He would be lucky to stay alive. Cóntent belongs to NovélDráma. Org

Why would he destroy his own livelihood?

Kyle frowned. Three o'clock in the morning? He answered without hesitating, "I was definitely asleep."

"Were any of you sharing a room with him?" Abel asked.

"Boss, Kyle was on duty last night. He slept downstairs alone, so we don't know about it." The others quickly distanced themselves, fearing they would get dragged into this.

Abel squinted his eyes.

"Boss, I was the first to notice the fire and alert everyone! If I had set the fire, why would I have told you?" Kyle was terrified. His body was trembling with fear.

Abel did not respond and kept watching.

The fire grew bigger, and he saw people from the base running out one by one until no one else cout.

"Boss, it really wasn't me!" When Kyle noticed that the footage ended with no one else emerging. He knelt down and pleaded, "Someone must've impersonatedto set the fire!"

Abel knew that was possible.

He turned to look at Luca.

Luca met his gaze, reassured that Gale had not been exposed. She said, "Staring atwon't help. I didn't set the fire, and I don't know anyone who can do disguises."

She had not leamed disguise techniques on the Island of Despair. Abel was cautious, never letting her and Amur take certain courses.

"Where's Amur?" asked Abel, noting that Amur's build was similar to Kyle's.

Luca frowned. Was he suspecting Amur?

A man answered, "Amur's in Country M now, still carrying out the mission you assigned him."

Luca frowned deeper. Arnur went to Country Magain?

The place was in chaos, full of shootings everywhere. Why did he not tell her before heading out?

Luca knew that Amur was hiding his whereabouts to keep her from worrying.

However, his secrecy did not sit well with her. It made her more worried than anything.

"Are you sure he's still in Country M and hasn't retumed?" questioned Abel. He still refused to believe that Kyle was responsible and was trying to find evidence against Luca.

"Yes, he hasn't cback. He updated us on his mission yesterday, and the IP address shows he's still in Country M. There's no way he could've made it back to A City so quickly," replied the man.

Luca said, "You think I had Amur start the fire? But we've never learned disguise techniques. Even if their builds are similar, we don't know how to disguise ourselves."

Abel narrowed his eyes.

Shanks walked out of one of the bedrooms. This place was a family suite with three rooms.

His usually expressionless face was now creased with a frown.

Luca knew that the fire did not just destroy the medicinal herbs but also ruined Shanks' previous research.

Abel was still able to keep his cool, probably because Shanks had not brought all the herbs to this city. Maybe swere still stored in X City.

For Luca, as long as the herbs were not here, she would not have to get involved.

That was a relief.

She did not know exactly what Shanks was researching, but at least it meant she did not have to face Abel.

If she had to face him every day, she feared she might crack under the pressure.

"Have you found the person who started the fire?" asked Shanks.

Abel glanced at Luca and then at Kyle but did not say anything.

Shanks did not understand what that meant. "Did you find them? Does it have anything to do with her?"

"At the moment, it doesn't seem related," replied Abel.

Even though he did not believe Kyle was the culprit, all the evidence pointed to him.

"Cwith me." Once Shanks heard that Luca had nothing to do with this, he turned to look at Luca.

When she saw that he was addressing her, she nodded and followed him into the bedroom. The desk was covered with documents.

Shanks said, "When the fire broke out, I only managed to grab these documents, but they got mixed up in the process. Helpsort them out."

"Okay." There was no expression on Luca's face even though she felt a secret thrill inside. Seeing these documents might give her a clue about what he was researching.

Luca began helping to organize the papers. She was used to doing this back on the Island of Despair.

Besides treating the wounded, Shanks spent most of his ton research. She used to assist him, so it was natural for her to help organize the materials.

Her hands moved quickly, noticeably more adept than when she had first left the island.

Shanks noticed that and said, "You've gotten better at organizing these files."

"After spending a lot of tin the lab and leading a research project, it's normal to get more efficient," replied Luca. Back then, she had only followed Shanks' lead in research.

After she left the Island of Despair, she used what he taught her to head a project of her own. People grew and learned, and now, she was much more skilled in research.

Shanks nodded.

Luca continued sorting through the documents.

She secretly rejoiced, knowing that these papers contained crucial research information. As

she sorted, she skimmed through them, catching key data and details.

Sof the documents did not need to be read in detail. Just skimming for key data or

important words was enough.

They worked together for a while before Abel cin.

"Were all the documents saved?" asked Abel.

Luca looked at Shanks.

Shanks replied without looking up, "Not really."

"What do you mean?" Abel suddenly felt a surge of frustration. If all the research samples were lost and the data was incomplete, did that mean all their tand effort had been

wasted?

"It means exactly what it sounds like. It's going to be difficult to get everything back. Some

of the papers were scattered when we escaped, and we couldn't recover them," Shanks

replied.

"Damn it!" Abel's frustration boiled over, and he kicked the corner of the desk hard.

A couple of the documents Luca had just organized fluttered to the ground.

She calmly picked them up and put them back in place.

Shanks asked, "What are you planning to do with the person who set the fire?"

"I don't think it was him," replied Abel. If he had been suspicious, he would have beaten the

guy up by now.

Even though he saw Kyle in the footage, he did not feel the need to act against him.

"Letting him off the hook? That's not like you." There was a hint of anger in Sharks' voice. He could tolerate a lot, but messing with his research was crossing the line.
