I succinctly answered his question, but this time, Tyler was rendered speechless.
Theo and Chief Royce rushed back to the hospital at night. Before boarding the plane, Chief Royce assigned his
men to track Alex's whereabouts.

any fear.
| recounted what had happened this afternoon to the two of them. Chief Royce was unable to make any sense of
the matter in such a short period of teither. At this moment, he looked at the document in front of him and
covered his forehead, not knowing where to start.
It was understandable. Other cases involved money and lives, so the goal was clear. Alex's was far more

He sought not momentary pleasure but a lifetof revenge.
"I don't understand. He approached Wanda today, so can't we arrest him straight away?"
Tyler was clearly impatient now. Chief Royce shook his head at him.
"His identity is unclear at the moment. We also don't have direct evidence to prove that he's involved in the
case. We can't do anything apart from questioning him.
Besides, given this situation, he might not reveal as much to us as he would to Mrs. Grant if we question him
directly."
| understood what Chief Royce meant by that and knew that he was put in a tough spot.
| had already witnessed what Alex was capable of. If he refused to speak, then even the police could not make
him.
In this case, the police would only alarm him if they approached him. Rather than sending his men over, it would
be better forto go instead.
Everyone on the spot had previously thought of ways to investigate Alex. Knowing that Chief Royce was not
trying to shirk responsibility, the conference room fell silent.
After a very long time, Chief Royce stood up. "Thank you for providing us clues, Mrs. Grant. Be vigilant during
this time. We'll keep our eyes on Alex and inform you when we have an update."
| got up as well. "Thanks a lot, Chief Royce." | looked at his bloodshot eyes and knew that he had been working
really hard on this case and was considerably worried about it. Several of us got up and walked out of the
conference room.

grabbing onto him. He hesitated to speak when he sawturning to look at him. "Theo, cto the toilet with

Then, before Theo would react, Tyler had already pulled him away.

trying to say behind my back.
| simply thought about how Theo and Chief Royce had not had their dinner yet after rushing here as soon as they
got off the plane.
Now that Chief Royce was having a break, Theo should get his dinner sorted out too.

Watching the sandwich fall off the rack, | felt less nervous than before.
For sreason, | felt a little at ease when Alex spoke toabout custody.
Somehow, | seemed to believe his words. He viewed Munchkin with great importance just as | did.

He was definitely not the one who kidnapped Munchkin and would surely do his best to protect Munchkin for me.
