Chapter 1831


    Yes, whether there were any problems with the bar, Quill would check it out. They just needed to


    focus on their tasks to help Quill solve the case.


    Adrienne expressed her gratitude sincerely, "Mr. Zelson, thank you!"


    Zelson responded, "I''m your mentor. There''s no need to be so polite with me."


    "I am not being polite with you. I''m just showing my gratitude, and you taught me that." Adrienne


    smiled. "If there is nothing else, I will go back to my office first."


    "Adrienne..." Zelson stopped her. After a pause, he added, "Take good care of yourself. You only get


    one life and no do-overs. Don''t take your life too lightly."


    "Don''t worry. I can assure you that I will take good care of myself. You have to take care too."


    Adrienne nodded and promptly left Zelson''s office.


    Adrienne did not know much about Zelson. She had never thought about getting to know him


    outside of work, so she never knew what Zelson was thinking.


    She only knew that Zelson''s parents had passed away and he was fostered in an orphanage. She


    heard that he had suffered a lot when he was a child. Later, he had worked hard to build himself up.


    Those who had experienced hardship in life would understand better that a good life was hard to


    come by. Therefore, Zelson had always done a good job and had never made mistakes in work.


    The previous incident probably hadn''t been up to him.


    Although society as a whole was improving slowly, there was still a dark side to it. Just because she


    couldn''t see it, that did not mean that it didn''t exist. Many people were left with no choice but to


    sumb to their darker instincts.


    Quill, Zelson, and even herself. But not Jefferson. He had enough support and protection around


    him, thus he could do as he pleased.


    Nevertheless, a majority in this world were people like Zelson and her. There were rarely those


    equivalent to Jefferson.


    About an hourter, the interrogation over on Jefferson''s side ended. When he appeared by


    Adrienne''s office door, she couldn''t help but be surprised. "How did youe out?"


    "Would you prefer if I was locked up inside and never came out?" Jefferson sat sideways on her


    desk and yfully hit her head with a book. "Dr. Carter, you''re ruthless."


    Needless to say, she was happy to see him released, but she wanted to know what was going on.


    "The evidence that Sergeant Scott currently has is enough to lock you up. It''s puzzling that he


    didn''t."


    "I''ve doubted Quill''s abilities more than once. It''s the same this time around. There was such a big


    loophole that he had missed. He fell right into the enemy''s trap and was led to believe I am the


    prime suspect."


    "Don''t say such unpleasant words. Sergeant Scott isn''t that bad. It''s just that there have been too


    many cases recently, and he has been having a hard time dealing with them." Adrienne stood up


    and walked over to Jefferson, asking, "Is your leg okay?"


    "It''s all right. I''m fine." It hurt a little, but it didn''t bother Jefferson. After all, he was young and strong.


    After a few hours of rest, he had recovered most of his strength.


    "d you''re fine." Adrienne''s gaze moved from his leg and to his face. After confirming that he was


    okay, she moved on to other topics. "Then tell me about how you proved your innocence and got


    Sergeant Scott to let you go."


    "The murderer had recorded his killing. Such powerful evidence, but Quill didn''t manage to find it."


    Jefferson was haughty as always. "That''s why I said that his abilities are doubtful, yet you''re


    defending him."


    "Recorded his killing? What a psychopath." Adrienne''s heart fiercely trembled as she gasped, "What


    kind of person is the murderer? How could he be so vicious?"


    "It has nothing to do with you. Why do you care so much?" Jefferson''s eyes were shing. Seeing


    this, Adrienne had a bad feeling. She asked, "Is the murderer one of those who kidnapped me to


    threaten you?"


    Those people were all ouws. They didn''t care about their lives, and there was nothing they didn''t


    dare to do. Jefferson didn''t want Adrienne to be overly involved, so he scolded, "I told you to drop it.


    Why are you still being so nosy?"


    "So, it was them. Did they do this to provoke the dignity of thew or to make a statement to you?"


    No matter what their purpose was, it was terrible. If they were not brought to justice soon, there


    would be more innocent people getting hurt. Adrienne had to do something. "Jefferson, where are


    the men that were caught yesterday? Can you let me speak to Weldon?"


    "What for?" Jefferson questioned.


    Adrienne replied, "He saved me. Can I go and see him?"

    "No."


    "What if I insist?"


    Jefferson did not answer.


    When the two of them got into an actual argument, Jefferson would always lose.


    Under Jefferson''s reluctant help, Adrienne managed to meet Weldon.


    Although he was in jail, there was no emotion disyed on Weldon''s face. He still had that cold look


    on. If he were to get shot right now, he probably would not even blink.


    This kind of person was actually quite admirable.


    He was a real man.


    Adrienne started her questioning, "Weldon, that''s what they call you right? Can I call you that?"


    Hearing Adrienne''s voice, Weldon''s expression finally wavered a little, but soon returned to its


    calmness again. His expression changed so quickly that it was almost imperceptible.


    Adrienne added, "You kidnapped me during this operation, but you didn''t hurt me. I


    appreciate it very much."


    Weldon remained silent.


    Regardless of whether he would respond, Adrienne knew that he was listening. As long as he could


    hear her, it was good enough. That was the purpose of her visit.


    "I just wanted to ask, did you disobey your superior''s orders just because of Miss Nina?"


    At the mention of Miss Nina, Weldon''s eyes shifted again. Adrienne continued to say, "I can see


    that you are not someone who would do anything just for money. Miss Nina must be a very


    special person to you. I am very curious. She had ordered you guys to catch me, but why would she


    not let you guys hurt me?"


    Just when Adrienne thought that he would not answer, Weldon finally spoke, "Because Miss


    Nina is a good person who looks favorably upon loyalty."


    Good person?


    Perhaps.


    In the past, Adrienne had always thought that the world was just ck and white. Later on, she


    learned that there were actually many grey areas in the world.


    A person might seem evil to some, but to


    others, he or she might be the best person to ever exist.


    Miss Nina had done something illegal, and she deserved to be arrested. But who knew what she


    had done for Weldon to make him so devoted? He even saw her as a good person.
