Chapter 121 Teamwork Made the Dream Work
Stella Grace was pleasantly surprised. “Why are you here?”
“I was passing by. I have to go to the neighboring city, and to deal with something in the evening,” Jasper Milton explained.
So that’s why Mina Hadley suddenly wanted to buy clothes and did not want her to accompany her.
“I’ve made great progress here. I’ve already deployed surveillance on the people who are smuggling antiques. As long as they are arrested one by one, we will be able to catch all people of Ecocity Building Company soon. Then they will be able to implicate Lionel. Once we arrest Lionel, we will bring the murder case in the village to book,” Stella said with an air of satisfaction.
“Mina has reported it to me. I think that even if someone points to Lionel, he may not confess to the massacre of the village. One is imprisonment, and the other is a death sentence, he is not stupid. We need to find the gold bars,” Jasper observed.
“I hope we can find evidence as soon as possible so that we can arrest him. Have you eaten yet?” Stella asked with concern.
Jasper tapped her nose and said, “I just want to see you. I’ll leave soon.”
Stella’s eyes dimmed.
Even if he had not eaten, he still could not eat with her.
“If you’re in such a hurry in the future, you don’t have to come over. If you have something to do, I understand.”
Jasper smiled.
It would take him four hours to get back, and he would only have at most an hour to meet up with her.
However,
he still came.
“You are getting thinner, why don’t you eat more? Many things cannot be done in a hurry. Take your time. Since there is a problem in Sun City, the more you are not in a hurry, the more anxious those who have done something wrong will be,” Jasper advised.
“I’m really too rushed.”
“So, I have good news. It was unexpected, but it also makes sense,” Jasper said with a smile.
“What good news?”
“Do you remember last time, I thought there was something wrong with the chief security guard?” Jasper reminded her.
“There is definitely something wrong with the chief security guard. He is in cahoots with the security captain,” Stella said with certainty.
Jasper handed her a photo.
In the photo, the chief security guard was receiving a bag of money from a man in sunglasses.
“Who is this man? Why did he give money to the chief security guard?” Stella asked.noveldrama
“The manager of Ecocity Building Company,” Jasper replied.
Realization dawned on Stella. “Lionel felt threatened so he called the manager of Ecocity Building Company to deal with me. The manager then asked the chief security guard to frame me. Why didn’t they kill me directly?”
“They didn’t dare to kill you directly because they suspected that there’s someone backing you.
In addition, the fact that your father is Wilson Chuck also made them afraid.
They deliberately framed you. On the one hand, they don’t want you to investigate. On the other hand, they want to see who is backing you and who will come to rescue you,” Jasper concluded.
“It’s quite a profound idea, but these photos alone can’t prove that the matter is related to the murder of the director of the cultural center, or that I was framed,” Stella frowned.
“Do you still remember what the chief security guard said to the security captain at that time?
I had someone guard the security captain’s wife and children.
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, someone tried to kidnap the security captain’s wife and children.
The kidnappers were arrested.
Today, when they saw these photos, they confessed that it was the chief security guard who asked them to do this.
I asked the security captain’s wife to visit the security captain today. The security captain has admitted that it was the chief security guard who asked him to do this. After the matter was done, he would be given 20 thousand dollars in cash as a reward,” Jasper explained.
“Now we can arrest the chief security guard directly. As long as he implicates the manager of Ecocity Building Company, we may be able to solve this big case soon.” Stella was overjoyed.
She did not expect him to do so much for her in the past five days.
“Not yet for now. You have to be patient. We have to find the connection between Ecocity Building Company and Lionel first. Otherwise, we can only stop at the manager of Ecocity Building Company, and we can’t implicate Lionel.”
Stella nodded. “Since Lionel has committed these crimes, his money should be dirty. The main thing is to find out where he hid the money or antiques, then he can be convicted.”
“My people have been tracking Lionel for several days. He is a meticulous person. He never participates in any business gatherings and has no vices. It’s very difficult to have a breakthrough.”
“No.” An idea flashed through Stella’s mind, and she interrupted Jasper. “He has a vice; he’s into lost treasures and antiques. Do you remember the treasure map from last time? I think we use the treasure map to lure him out. Lionel will be very interested insure.”
“You’re smart. I’ll also arrange someone here. I’ll give you an answer within a week.”
Stella pursed her lips and looked at him. She was silent for a while.
Jasper held her waist and pulled her into his arms. “What’s wrong?”
“I thought that I wanted to be an inspector so that I could stand in a place of authority and show my skills. In the end, I did nothing for five days and even alerted the enemy. If it weren’t for you, I might have needed several years to solve this Lionel case. Dreams are beautiful, but the reality is really disappointing,” Stella said with disappointment.
Jasper smiled. “I have made the same mistakes. Timmy’s death is on both of us. Since I’ve promised him, I’ll work together with you to achieve the same goal.”
“I, in fact, don’t have a simple goal. I want to get promoted as soon as possible by making contributions,” Stella blurted out.
“It’s the best of both worlds, why don’t you do it?
Whatever you want, I will try my best to help you achieve them.
What you want is also what I want!
I think it’s good this way. You’re in the loop, I’m still in the dark.
Once we get the evidence, I would still need you to conduct a public trial.
To be able to work with you like this, it brings a sense of joy and happiness.”
Stella pondered and had to agree.
In that case, there was nothing wrong with her decision.
She also smiled.
Jasper bent over and kissed her on the lips.
Stella got out of the way and cleared her throat. “There is a surveillance camera in the room.”
“I’ve already switched it off,” Jasper smirked. “What are you thinking about?”
Stella thought he wanted to have sex with her, so she blushed and said, “Nothing?”
“Don’t think about it anymore, let’s do it.” He picked her up and carried her towards the bathroom…
A happy time was always too short but so pleasant.
Jasper Milton did not have much time. When he returned, it was already too late.
He drove at a speed of more than 160km/h.
There was a knock on the door.
Stella Grace thought Mina Hadley had returned and opened the door.
Frederick Addington stood at the door, with an evil smile on his face, his eyes extremely cold.
Stella quickly closed the door, but Frederick shoved the door open.
Her strength was of no match to his, so she was in a deadlock with him.
Frederick looked at Stella strangely with brooding eyes. He said expressionlessly, “Stella, do you know who raped you three years ago?”
Stella paused and looked at Frederick, “Who was it?”
There was a glimpse of hope in her heart.
Perhaps her child was taken away by the biological father…
