Chapter 1570 Dead Man Tells No Tales
Raeleigh did not want to talk about it, but Jepherson kept pressing her to give him an answer.
She knew that only him could help her now.
Jepherson turned around and looked aside, feeling restrained in his outfit. He tugged at the button on
his cor forcefully and took off his ck necktie. He pulled it over his head and wrung it on the floor.
The silk necktie fell onto the ground and fluttered into the air, blown away by the wind.
Raeleigh had never seen Jepherson losing hisposure like this before. It was as if he was so angry
he wanted to rip the earth into two.
She didn''t know what to do. Her heart was beating anxiously, and tears threatened to fall down her
cheeks. However, she held them in.
The two of them refused to give in. Just then, a ck SUV emerged from a distance. Raeleigh saw the
car and asked, "Are they finally here?"
Jepherson turned around and took a look, both of his hands settling on his thin waist as he weed
the strong wind blowing toward them. He had unfastened his coat as though he was feeling quite hot
and stuffy.
When the car stopped in front of them, Jepherson looked inside. Shortly, Lenold swung open the car
door and came out of the car with a briefcase in his hand. Dressed in a ck suit and a pair of huge
prized sunsses on his face, his presence was extremely eye-catching.
Another man appeared behind Lenold, and his expression was as cold as Lenold''s.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I just got off the ne when you told me toe over. You''re not even
concerned if I''m worn out by my work."
Lenold looked at Jepherson and Raeleigh and teased them as he got out of the car.
Raeleigh walked to Jepherson''s side queitly.
Jepherson let out an inaudible sigh and looked at Lenold before asking, "I want to see Austin. Help me
arrange for it."
"Do you think you''re God? That you can meet whoever you want?" Lenold looked at them with a sneer,
holding his sunsses between his fingers.
Raeleigh looked at Jepherson and asked, "What can we do?"
Jepherson turned to look at Lenold and was more straightforward, "Tell me. What conditions do you
have?"
"Well... I haven''t really thought about it yet. But I assume it must be something important for you to take
it so seriously. Lucky for you, I brought my friend here with me. He is here to take over the warden''s
position. Perhaps I can make an exception for you."
Raeleigh was taken aback. She stared at the man in front of her. This was the new warden?
She paused and continued, "Austin is my brother."
The man looked back at Raeleigh through his sunsses and said, "That has nothing to do with me."
Raeleigh froze and turned to look at Jepherson as he stretched out a hand and introduced himself to
the man, "I''m Jepherson Harvey."
The man just stared at Jepherson''s hand, not even bothering to remove his sunsses. It seemed like
he didn''t care about Jepherson at all as he remarked, "I am not good at dealing with businessmen. I
have long heard about you, Mr. Harvey."
Jepherson withdrew his hand and looked at him with a smile, "Oh, really?"
"Don''t worry. He and I are sworn brothers, and we would take a bullet for each other. As long as such a
person exists, I will definitely bring you to him. As for whether I can set him free or not, we''ll talk about it
another day. There are legal procedures we have to follow after all."
"We can talk about that once we meet him," Jepherson conceded.
Lenoldughed, "Since when did you learn to make a concession? It''s a rare sight. Let''s go."
Lenold led the man to Green House''s entrance and knocked on the door. After dering he was here
to take over the job, the door opened. He went inside, Raeleigh following suit closely behind.
When Raeleigh entered the room, she was taken aback by the unfamiliar faces. She frowned in
confusion as she walked behind Jepherson.
Jepherson turned to her and asked perceptively, "What''s wrong?"
"It''s nothing."
She held onto his arm and looked up at him. Jepherson lowered his head as she whispered something
in his ear.
"Are you sure?"
"I''m sure."
Then, he turned around and looked at the guards at the door. He then muttered, "These men have
been reced. The old ones are all gone."
Lenold turned around and stared at Jepherson curiously, "How did you know?"
"It''s not important. I''m just telling you the truth."
Raeleigh gazed at the prison guards. She used toe out every now and then, and she knew
everyone here. Throughout her one-month stay here, she had already figured out the terrains. There
was no way she would mistake these people here.
"That''s weird. Why did they change the prison guards?" Lenold looked at the man behind him, only to
have the man reply, "That''s impossible. We would have to approve of it first."
"Then how do you exin this?" Jepherson asked while gesturing. The man pondered over it before
looking around and specting, "Unless something has happened here."
"I was sent here because I was ordered to investigate Lechen Cook''s death."
"Lechen was the old warden here who worked here for ten years. The cause of his sudden death is
suspicious."
Raeleigh suddenly grew nervous, and her grip on Jepherson''s hand tightened. Her palm was slick with
sweat. Jepherson instinctively took her hand and wiped it on his shirt.
Raeleigh lifted her head and looked at him. Then, he said, "You said Austin didn''t do it, so what are you
afraid of?"
Raeleigh was stunned for a moment. Then, she slowly turned to look at Lenold and the man.
"Let''s go in and have a look."
Lenold followed the man inside while Raeleigh and Jepherson walked behind them. Raeleigh realized
that Lenold seemed to be familiar with the prison''syout. He did not seem to have difficulty finding his
way around as he led the new warden around the prison.
Raeleigh also found the prison particrly quiet that day. Even the cleaners outside were nowhere to
be seen.
It was her first time being in the office building of the prison. After a while, a few men came out from the
office to greet Lenold, but she did not recognize any of them.
She stood in a daze as she watched the men greeting them. She felt nervous.
Jepherson gripped Raeleigh''s hand even tighter to give her strength.
It was already afternoon by the time theypleted the handover, and Raeleigh felt restless. Initially,

the group nned to have lunch together, but she decided to meet Austin first as she did not feel like
eating. Lenold agreed to her decision.
When Raeleigh entered the prison, it was lunchtime. She was familiar with most of the people inside,
but all of them seemed to not recognize her. It was as if they had been hypnotized.
Raeleigh went to the cell where she and Austin had been held captive. There were two prisoners
inside. As she walked into the cell, the two prisoners were called over to be questioned. They said that
they had been living in that cell for several months
Raeleigh instinctively knew that something was not right, and she quickly asked to see Austin. The
acting warden gave Raeleigh a list of dead prisoners and told her that the prisoner named Austin had
already died two years ago.
Austin was dead?
Raeleigh stared at the list and shook her head in disbelief, "That''s impossible. You must have hidden
him away."
She could not help but confront the acting warden, only to have the person scoff, "Miss, do you think
we have the time to joke with you? The warden and the Interpol are here, and we are under their
control. How would we dare to do such a thing?"
Raeleigh was furious. She stormed towards the prisoners who were in the middle of eating lunch and
grabbed one of them by the cor. She demanded, "Tell me, who am I? Do you recognize me?"
The man looked at her and shook his head nkly.
