    Chapter 90 The Inspector General’s Thoughts


    “Why must I head to the Office of Inspector General?” Caspian hesitated. Wasn’t this just about apprehe


    nding a criminal?


    If Sylvia found out he’d been taken to the Inspector General’s office, she’d undoubtedly order her troops f


    rom outside the city to storm the ce!


    Caspian held a favorable view of Joey as her recent actions to save lives were trulymendable. Nev


    ertheless, he was reluctant to deploy city troops over a minor incident.


    “You had killed someone, so you need to provide a statement at the Office of Inspector General,” Joey st


    ated.


    “I stepped in just now to save a life. You saw the situation back then,” Caspian exined.


    “You took my gun, ignored the hostage situation, and fired recklessly. It was a


    dangerous move. You must rify your actions at the Inspector General’s office,” Joey insisted.


    Willow and Zoey found Joey’s decision to confront Caspian unreasonable. After all, Caspian had saved


    Carmen. Instead of being thanked, he was now facing the prospect of arrest, which struck them as


    profoundly unjust.


    “Dangerous move? What was so dangerous about it? The results speak for themselves. Willliam was ne


    utralized, and Carmen was unharmed!” Caspian sighed.


    He continued, “If it weren’t for my intervention, you might be nursing a broken leg now and watching Willi


    am escape!”


    “You were fortunate to shoot William! You’re not a part of the Inspector General’s team. Who gave you th

    e authority to use a gun?” Joey retorted.


    “You must be out of your mind! It’s called being a good Samaritan. Can just anyone waltz into the Office


    of Inspector General? You don’t even have any basic knowledge!” Caspian said impatiently.


    He hadn’t expected any rewards, but he certainly didn’t want more trouble.


    Joey was brimming with anger, What gave this useless Caspian the right to insult her? Despite knowing


    he had rescued the hostage earlier, she did not have a good impression of him.


    “What do you know? William was crucial as he was a member of a fraudulent gang. We were nning to


    follow his trail and capture all of these culprits. But now, you’ve killed him directly and cut off all leads!” J


    oey voiced her frustration.


    “How is that my concern? This is the inspectors‘ business,” Caspian replied expressionlessly.


    Joey fell silent as she was unable to counter Caspian’s argument.


    “Without leads, the Office of Inspector General can figure it out independently. If Carmen had been killed,


    your office wouldn’t escape responsibility, right? I saved her for you, didn’t even get a thank you, and no


    w you want to make trouble for me. Is this how your office operates?” Caspian continued.


    Joey was left speechless by Caspian’s words. Every point he made was entirely reasonable, leaving Joe


    y unable to counter any of them.


    After all, he had not only rescued Carmen but also ensured they remained unharmed.


    In that high–


    pressure situation, Joey hadn’t been confident aboutnding a single shot on William, yet Caspian had m


    anaged to do it effortlessly.


    Willow and Zoey looked at Caspian with surprise. When did he be so eloquent? Wasn’t it excessive


    to leave Joey speechless like that?


    “Can we go now?” Caspian asked nonchntly. Being taken to the Office of Inspector


    General would throw a wrench into his ns.


    If Sylvia found out he was taken to the Inspector General’s office, her troops stationed outside the city wo


    uld indeed converge there.


    Those troops were intended for handling the Inspector General’s chief, and mobilizing them for Joey sim


    ply wasn’t worth it.


    “Hold on!” Joey called out again.


    “Is there anything else?” Caspian stopped and inquired.


    “I’ve found some leads on the murder of Lilith,” Joey said.


    “Tell me more details about that,” Caspian said.


    Upon hearing Joey’s words, Willow suddenly felt uneasy.


    “Lilith seems to have tried to save someone but was killed instead,” Joey said.


    Although this case had happened some time ago, she didn’t believe it was that simple. So, she had priva


    tely conducted an investigation.


    After all, it was her duty as ti After all, it was her duty


    as the head of the criminal investigation team to uncover the truth behind every case.


    However, the evidence from the time of the incident had been destroyed, making it quite challenging to r


    eveal the whole truth.


    “I’ve already got the details on this, so you don’t need to bother about it,” Caspian responded with


    some surprise, as he was not expecting Joey to look into the case actively.


    Yet, he was well–informed about the whole story, and he knew that Lilith had been wrongly


    “Don’t worry, I’ll get to the bottom of this and restore her reputation!” Joey affirmed with determination, ev


    en though the leads she had found made the case quite challenging to crack.


    “Suit yourself.” Caspian waved his hand dismissively.


    It was clear that Joey had a good heart. Caspian then left the hospital with Willow and Zoey.


    In the Office of Inspector General, Ezekiel had just finished a call with Nadia.


    He had learned that Caspian had gone on a killing spree tonight, prompting Nadia to request the inspect


    or’s intervention to apprehend him.


    After hanging up, Ezekiel took a moment to reflect. He certainly wanted to capture Caspian,


    but he couldn’t afford to rush into action.


    Caspian’s weddingst month had even drawn the attendance of John, a senior military officer


    from the South Arinds.


    Rumor had it that Caspian had saved John’s life, and Ezekiel wasn’t willing to risk challenging that connec


    Even though Sylvia’s title was a sham, John was undoubtedly a genuine senior military officer from the So


    Ezekiel conducted his affairs with utmost caution to maintain his current position. The higher his position,

    However, dealing with the York family wouldn’t be a walk in the park, especially their heavyweight, Zachar


    Without Zachary’s direct intervention, Ezekiel decided it wasn’t the right moment to make a


    move.


    Caspian had personally chauffeured Willow to the Soutke Corporation for her work.


    The Rolls–Royce had remained at the corporation since the previous day, so Willow was
