Chapter 1138 Who Is The Perpetrator


    Crystal''s POV:


    Rufus’ soft words and the fleeting caress on my head transported me back to the old days when we were still together.


    For a moment, I thought the Rufus who loved me with all his heart, was back. But when our eyes met, his cold and arrogant demeanor brought me


    back to reality.


    I sighed deeply in my heart. He had forgotten me. I was so stupid to even think about the past!


    "The imperial pce under my rule will never allow such a thing to happen. I will take full responsibility for it,” Rufus pledged with utmost seriousness.


    "Okay." I nodded, feeling both disappointed and moved.


    For a moment it seemed as if he still love me and could read my mind; he seemed toprehend what I was feeling. How very disappointing that it


    was just an illusion


    Cn the other hand, the fact that he wasn''t going to treat Arron''s disappearance lightly moved me. He was going to deal with this incident with topmost


    priority.


    I knew that if he wanted to protect the perpetrator, I would never find my son again.


    So I asked Rufus in a low voice, "Will Arrone back safe and sound?"


    "Yes, he will." Although his answer was simple and certain, his affirmative tone set my mind at rest.


    I should stop moping around and get ready for whatever wasing.


    From what I could tell, the people behind this were not just a bunch of simpletons. There might be a battle if it came to worst.


    As expected, Rufus’ soldiers were very efficient. They soon brought seven or eight frightened servants here.


    They cuffed the servants’ hands behind their backs and led them to Rufus.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "Your Majesty, these people have no


    alibi. Most of them said that they.


    were working or sleeping alone: "The


    soldiers settled the suspects and


    reported to Rufus with evident vigor.


    Rufus nodded and surveyed the servants in the open space. His face was unruffled and his eyes profound, sc no one could tell what he was thinking.


    In contrast, I was feeling a little giddy. My gut was telling me that Arron''s abductor was among us here.


    "Who wants-toe clean? I''m


    giving yourthe chance to confess


    now. If find out the person behind


    this, you won''t have a say on what


    will ppen to you," Rufus said

    I kept my eye on these people''s facial expressions. If there was something unusual, I would know right away.


    However, to my disappointment, they all seemed undisturbed by Rufus’ words.


    So, I couldn''t help but shout, "I know that the person who kidnapped my child was also under orders! You will not be executed if you bring Arran back


    alive!"


    Fearful of what might happen, these people fell to their knees and pleaded for their lives.


    Some even shed tears.


    It was an utter mess, but no one took the initiative to confess.


    "We really didn''t do it. How dare we? You''re doing us wrong! We''re innocent," a servant with ash on


    his face shouted


    When Arron went missing, I became


    quite enraged, Now they were crying


    and trying to pass the buck, which


    made me feel even more furious. I


    couldn''t help but snap, "In that case,


    you should exin clearly whatyou

    innadent, you should be ableto


    prove it. If you are smart enough,


    then you should admit {01 your crime.


    My patience is wearing thin. If I


    catch you lying, I will make sure you


    will not be just sentenced to death.”
