Luke was indifferent. He did not reach out to hold the chief's hand.
"Time's up. I should leave," said Luke. He had already said the things he needed to and given the information he
had to without reservations.
"Alright. Let me see you off." The chief of police placed the file and voice recording pen on his office desk before
leaving the room with Luke.
The police officers who were on duty saw him off too.
The news of Luke helping to solve the case spread like wildfire in the police station.
All the police officers appreciated Luke's help in solving the case. After all, he saved them a lot of trouble by
assisting them. Once they figured out whether or not the evidence was true, they would be able to proceed to the
next step.
This was a great help to them as they had been working overtime for the past few days but still barely made any
progress in solving the case.
After Luke left, the police officer who stood beside the chief of police asked, "Chief, did Mr. Crawford provides any
useful evidence?"
"Of course. Not only did he give us the photos but also a recording," muttered the chief. Even though he had yet to
listen to the recording, he knew it would help them to solve the case.
"That's great. Why don't we make a pennant and give it to Mr. Crawford as a gift?" suggested the police officer. The
police station would usually award a pennant and some cash reward to righteous citizens and those who provided

Luke might not care about the cash reward. After all, the amount of the cash reward was not even one- tenth of his
daily income...
It might be less than that.
The chief rolled his eyes at him and reminded him, "Does Mr. Crawford need such bells and whistles?
We only have to get our job done and solve the Normans' case."
He did not forget what Luke told him.
The mastermind had encouraged those men to be bold. That was why the number of victims became three when
Luca, who was supposed to be the only victim, got Mr. and Mrs. Norman involved in this.
Judging from the look on Luke's face, the person who urged them to do so did not seem like Matysh, who was being
detained at the police station.
After all, there were no grudges between that foreigner and Mr. and Mrs. Norman. They had never even talked to
each other.
The chief supposed that there should be another person behind this. Otherwise, Luke would not have said
something like that.
"That's true," replied the police officer embarrassedly. He was too excited to the extent that he forgot certain things
when he saw that they had made some progress in the case that had been troubling them.
"Oh yes, you have to think of a way. No matter if it's about cooperating with the
Interpol or the other departments, take a look at Matysh's bank account transactions," instructed the chief.
Matysh would have left some evidence when he made a deal with the mobsters he hired to commit the crime.
They thought they were safe, but who would have known that there was an unfathomable man like Luke Crawford
who was intercepting them?
The chief looked at the sky and secretly heaved a sigh. It served them right.
They messed with Luke and the woman he loved. It was just their luck.
"Yes, Sir," replied the police officer beside him.
"I'm going back to my office to listen to the recording. Once I find out anything, bring that mob boss back to the
police station right away." The chief slowly walked into the police station. His steps were no longer anxious.
He was confident that he would be able to solve the case soon.
"Yes, Sir."
Luke drove to T Corporation after he left the police station.
Jason was waiting for him when he had just come out of the elevator. He followed behind Luke and reported to him
about his schedule today.
Luke came to the office an hour later than usual today. Besides that, he had many meetings to attend today. Hence,
Jason did not have a moment to lose, and he reported his schedule to Luke.
"So many meetings today?" Luke frowned and asked.
"Yes, Boss. You have many meetings to attend today," Jason replied helplessly. Luke usually came to the office on
time, but he was an hour late today. The meetings held in the morning had to be postponed.
As a result, he did not have much time left today.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJason had already informed the departments that had to work overtime to attend the meeting today.
"Get me a cup of coffee," instructed Luke.
"Tina has already poured it for you. And Mr. Zac called just now. He couldn't reach you, so he wanted me to tell you
that he has finished drafting the complaint letter. His assistant is on his way to deliver it to the party." Jason
continued to report to him.
"Okay." Luke glanced at his phone. His phone had run out of battery. That was why Mr. Zac could not reach him.
Luke charged his phone.
“Boss, should I inform them to get ready for the meeting now?" Jason asked for Luke's opinion.
"Yes. I'll head to the meeting room in five minutes." Luke pressed the button on the phone.
After he turned on his phone, he sent a long message to Luca.
[Mr. Zac has already sent the complaint letter to the parent. Don't worry about the parent-teacher conference
today. She won't dare to come looking for trouble. She might even apologize to you. Don't you worry. I'll protect you
and keep you safe. Plus, Matysh has been detained by the police. The police have enough evidence to take him to
court. The Norman family's case will be solved soon, so don't worry.]
After Luke tapped on the send button, Tina served him a cup of coffee.
"Boss, your coffee."
"Okay." Luke took a sip of the coffee and said, "Bring it to the meeting room.
"Yes, Boss." Tina covered the cup with a lid and carried it in her hands as she walked out of his office.
Luke brought his laptop and phone along with him. When he was about to leave, Luca replied to his message.
