    Chapter 518 Conspiracy (11) New Clue


    He had reasons to becent.


    Hannah didn''t find any clues but lost her powerful helper, Theodore, for which she would have a bumpy


    ride ahead. A double loss for her.


    Hannah clenched her fists. She didn''t hold back her impulse because of Charles. But she kept telling


    herself to stay calm, especially in this situation.


    "Mrs Wells, what are we going to do? Do we stay in River Town?" Jimmy asked.


    Hannah was confused by their being trapped and the current situation. She was also pondering if they


    should stay here.


    Were there any clues in River Town?


    Judging from the result of theirpetition, her opponents were moreplex men. She could plot


    Charles smoothly because they didn''t have a hand in this, Hannah spected. While now they did.


    Thus, there must be no clue left in River Town. The only possible clue now was Oscar''s precaution.


    Had he foreboded something and saved some proof for himself?


    Hannah''s silence made Jimmy even more nervous.


    He had no idea of the current situation. He only knew that the two able men in his mind, Oscar and


    Theodore, were both taken away.


    Pondering for a while, Hannah picked up her phone, "Good afternoon, Manuel."


    "Good afternoon, Hannah. Was Theodore also taken away?" Manuel asked.


    "Yeah." Hannah did not make any exnation. She didn''t want to detract their spirits though it was her


    fault.


    "Don''t worry, Theodore will be fine. His dad has the clout to bring him out safe and sound." Manuel


    consoled her.


    His words somewhat moved Hannah. She had been a bit worried that they might me her.


    But it was not the right time to be sentimental. Hannah asked straightforwardly, "Did you hack into the


    financial system of the City Hall of River Town?"


    "Yeah. I stole the financial statement, same as the one you took from the Investigation Department."


    Manuel said, "The data is perfect. I haven''t found any bugs, but I''ll continue checking them. I''ll let you


    know if I find something."


    "All right." Hannah nodded.


    "What about you? Any findings?"


    "Not yet."


    "I think the clue can hardly be found in River Town but on Oscar." Said Manuel, "It is extremely likely


    that my cousin left some proof for himself."


    Hannah agreed, but she didn''t want to give up easily.


    She said, "I agree. After battling with them, I found them abler than I had imagined. Though I know it is


    hard to find any clue in River Town, I want to try again."


    Manuel pursed his lips, holding back some words.


    Compelling others was different from his style; he usually chose to respect them.


    "The reason is simple. I don''t want to put all my eggs into one basket. I want to increase our chance of


    winning, at least not have our backs to the walls. After all, none of us is sure if we could see Oscar


    before the trial."


    "All right. I am behind you." Manuel was stunned by Hannah''s consideration and moved by her efforts.


    It was said that his cousin loved Hannah as he loved life. However, love was reciprocated, which could


    be proved in Hannah and Oscar''s rtionship.


    Manuel said steadily, "Take it easy. Don''t stress yourself out. I have something to tell you, which I''m not


    sure if Theodore has told you."


    "What?" Hannah was a bit stunned.


    "We could break into the prison and rescue Oscar if necessary."


    Hannah''s eyes widened with astonishment.


    "It is achievable," Manuel said in a firm tune.


    Hannah didn''t ask anymore. The answers to many of her questions seemed to be evident.


    Hanging up the phone call, Hannah calmed down. She had to admit that Manual said they could ''break

    into the prison'' was stunning, as it was never a choice for ordinary people. And he gave her an option,


    which reduced her stress.


    At worst, they could break into the jail; at worst, she could take off with all her families and Oscar-as


    long as they could survive.


    Hannah took a deep breath and said to Jimmy, "Have a short rest, and we''ll go to Oscar''s apartment


    again tonight."


    Jimmy was a bit confused.


    "Now they let up, for real," Hannah said.


    They were confident about the cleanliness of the spot, so they needn''t pay much attention to her. What


    they did before was just a trap, and it already worked. Hannah thought she need not be too careful.


    At 8 pm, Hannah headed for Oscar''s residential area with Jimmy. She didn''t go to Oscar''s t. she had


    already rummaged through it and found nothing, so she didn''t want to waste time. Instead, she went to


    the building management centre and asked to check the surveince video using the car''s identity.


    She found that the surveince video of the whole residential area was nk for two hours. The staff


    told them that during the two hours, the machine crashed because of an electrical fault.


    Hannah saw her opponent''s hand in it, which she had expected but just wanted to ensure, so she didn''t


    ask anymore.


    Leaving the management centre, she went to the floor where Oscar''s t was. This time, Hannah didn''t


    enter Oscar''s apartment but knocked on the t diagonally opposite Oscar''s door.


    She used to believe that Oscar was the only household on this floor. She would never ask the


    neighbours if she had not met the old man.


    The door opened and came out the elder. He looked at Hannah surprisingly, "Whom are you looking


    for?"


    "Good evening, sir. I am your new neighbour. I just moved here today and haven''t bought enough


    seasoning. May I borrow some soy sauce?" Hannah made up an excuse.


    "Wait," the older man turned around and walked into the t.


    Hannah looked through the old man''s home, finding him solitary.


    He soon brought a bottle of soy sauce, "I have a spare one. You can take it."


    "How much? Let me pay for it."


    "Never mind," he refused, "We are neighbours."


    "So nice of you. Thank you."


    "Not at all. My neighbour is a nice guy. He used to help me a lot. s, I couldn''t believe…" he sighed.


    Hannah''s eyes moved slightly. She sharply noticed that the ''neighbour'' he mentioned was Oscar.


    She meant to ask casually, "Are you talking about the guy living in your opposite and caught for


    bribery? He named Oscar or whatever."


    "Bribery?" the older man was thrilled, "It''s impossible! He is such a good person, by no means would


    he bribe! It was nted!"
