Chapter 576


    In the Green Jade Garden''s study, Hansen sat on the couch, cross-legged with one hand on its arm


    and the other on the dark red wooden desk. His face was devoid of emotions, and his jet-ck eyes


    were sharp and deep.


    There was a light knock on the door.


    "Come in," he directed in a deep voice.


    The door was pushed open and the medium-sized man, Paul, came in.


    Hansen lifted his gaze and motioned for him to close the door with his sharp gaze constantly fixed


    on his face.


    Paul turned around and closed the door quietly.


    "Mr. Richards." He came over and greeted softly in a courteous manner.


    Hansen''s gaze was alert and menacing.


    There was a slight panic on Paul''s face. Being observed by Hansen''s eagle-like gaze, he showed


    unrestrained panic and unease.


    Hansen stared at him for a while before pursing his lips and tapping the table with his fingers.


    "Paul, aren''t you going to tell me anything?" His tone was indifferent and casual, but his eyes were


    vignt and merciless.


    After a slight pause, Paul knew that he had understood everything.


    In the past, no one knew about their loyalty towards Vivian. They had always been known as


    detectives. It was also Vivian''s wish. Now that Vivian had handed them over to Jenna, they were


    appointed to serve Jenna. However, under the current circumstances, Mr. Richards could no longer


    be kept in the dark.


    Paul didn''t know whether he should tell Hansen about certain matters, but Jenna was Hansen''s


    wife, and he was the head of Richards Manor. Paul had no reason not to tell him.


    "Paul, Grandma is now in an awful condition. If you''re unwilling to tell me the truth, then do you


    know what the consequences will be?" Hansen''s brows were knitted into a tight frown and his tone


    was stern.


    Paul knew that he couldn''t keep it from Mr. Richards any longer.


    "Mr. Richards, Irvin and I are indeed trained by Vivian. We have always been working for her. It''s


    just that she had requested for our identities to be kept secret, even if it''s to anyone within the


    Richards family. However, Vivian is seriously ill, and she wants us to follow Jenna. The matter


    should be different, but the grounds are still the same. Hence, I hope that Mr. Richards will


    understand," Paul admitted.


    "Are you following Jenna now?" he asked, shifting his eyes slightly.


    "Yes, Mr. Richards. We need to protect you and your wife," Paul answered quickly.


    "So, that night when I fought with the terrorists at the border, the person who guarded me was you?"


    Hansen recalled that night, and there was someone who had been standing by his side. Although


    he did not have time to think about it carefully as the situation was critical, the impression of that


    person''s figure was very simr to that of Paul''s. So, he questioned curiously.


    Paul smiled faintly and replied, "It was me. Irvin and I have dedicated our lives to the Richards


    Group. It''s our duty to protect the sessors of the family."


    Understanding the situation, Hansen smiled and directly asked, "Alright, then. I really appreciate


    your loyalty. I would like to ask if Grandma had sent you guys to the war-torn country to collect


    evidence for Yadriel''s crime two months ago?"


    Paul wasn''t surprised at all, nor did he hide anything when Hansen asked this question, as he


    immediately replied, "Mr. Richards, to be exact, when you and Jenna were in the petrochemical


    factory of Wullen Town, Old Madam already knew everything. She sent us to the war-torn country to


    find out the truth. However, the matter is veryplicated. Yadriel is a very cunning man, and he


    hid the evidence well. It was not that easy to find the evidence. It was not until two months ago that


    when Irvin went undercover, he found out that Yadriel had sold off thest batch of weapons for the


    sake of the election. Hence, Irvin had been staying there all this while."


    Hansen was secretly rmed when he heard this. As expected, Vivian had made her move ahead


    of time. Otherwise, how else would she be able tomand these when she was so ill right now?


    "Paul, I''m really thankful for the loyalty you and Irvin have shown towards the Richards family.


    Nheless, I want to inform you that Yadriel has found out about Irvin, and he is trying to think of a


    way to capture him. Irvin''s current situation is extremely dangerous. Tell me, did he sessfully


    obtain the evidence that can bring Yadriel down?" Hansen asked calmly, and the expression on his


    face was solemn.


    Hearing that, Paul''s face turned pale, and he became saddened. After a moment, he replied in a


    deep voice, "Mr. Richards, to tell you the truth, Irvin''s undercover operation did notst long. It can


    only be said that he knows something about Yadriel, but he has not gotten any useful evidence. The


    most important evidence is the arms trade that is about to take ce. Since Irvin knew that Yadriel


    had already found out what he had done, he released the rumors that he had collected a lot of


    evidence and kept them in different ces, in order to protect himself, as he is afraid that Yadriel


    will kill him."


    That was sure enough!


    Hansen''s heart sank when he heard Paul''s words. All of this was really within his expectations. If


    Irvin had really obtained evidence, then it was most likely that he would have returned by now.


    "Paul, Yadriel is a wily old fox. He hasmitted heinous crimes which were against thew.


    Naturally, his alibis are watertight, and they were carried out wlessly. No one would be able to dig


    up the evidence easily. Don''t worry about it. We''ll soon find a way. All in all, we must oust such


    ck sheep," Hansen uttered in a heavy mood.


    As someone who was about to be elected as an official of Capital City, how could Yadriel actually do


    such things that would harm the nation and the people? It was simplywless. If it went on like that,


    then there wouldn''t be room for justice and virtue.


    His charming eyes were as cold as frost. He stood up, patted Paul on the shoulder, and added


    seriously, "Rest assured, you and Irvin are trained by Grandma. I will never let anything happen to


    both of you. You have to cooperate with me next, and I''ll immediately send someone to rescue him


    in the war-torn country"


    "Thank you, Mr. Richards." Paul''s face was full of emotions as he expressed, "Both of us have long


    regarded Richards Manor as our life-long mission, and we will remain loyal till the end. In such a


    situation, we must get rid of Yadriel. Otherwise, the Richards Group will face endless trouble."


    That was his instinct. Yadriel didn''t have good feelings towards the Richards family. On the contrary,


    Yadriel behaved as if he was trying to protect himself from a big threat, the Richards Group. If he


    were to step onto the stage, then he would greatly suppress the Richards family. This was definitely


    not good news for such a bigpany.


    Of course, Hansen could understand those theories.


    "Do you know anyone with the name Ezrah Haris?" Hansen asked in a seemingly casual manner as


    he stuffed his hands in his pockets.


    Ezrah Haris? Paul was stunned. He thought about it for a while and shook his head.


    "Paul, this man is Yadriel''s confidant. He has participated in all of Yadriel''s illegal dealings. Many of


    them were directly ordered by Yadriel. Therefore, this man is crucial. We should make the first move


    and not let him take the lead. Since he dared to threaten Irvin in the war-torn country, we can


    simrly find a way to understand his weakness. After all, once the secret quibblees to light,


    Yadriel''s misdeeds will be exposed to the public," Hansenmented loudly and it made Paul''s


    eyes brightened.


    It was no wonder that Hansen was the head of Richards Manor, as he had a keen eye and an agile


    mind.


    "How about this? You and my subordinate, John, will leave A City for Capital City today and try to


    control this person. I''ll interrogate him in person, and then I''ll immediately send ten people to the


    war-torn country to meet Irvin. This time, not only will we get evidence, but we will also expose


    Yadriel''s crimes," Hansen muttered decisively.


    After a hint of light shed across Paul''s face, he shook his head and spoke up with concern.


    "Mr. Richards, now that Old Madam has assigned us to Jenna, we must have someone by her side


    to protect her and listen to her orders."


    Hansen was taken aback before the corner of his lips curled up into a smile.


    "Don''t worry. Jenna is my wife, and I will personally protect her. The affairs in Capital City are the


    most important things now. We have to strike while the iron is hot and get the evidence as soon as


    possible. Once his election is over, it will be toote. Don''t worry. I will take care of everything here."


    Hansen assured.


    With Hansen''s affirmation, Paul could only nod his head in agreement after thinking about the


    current situation.


    "When you arrive in the Capital City, Luqman''s men will be there to aid you. He will tell you what you


    should do." Hansen continued.


    N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    "Alright," Paul responded as he nodded.


    While they were talking, someone knocked on the door of Hansen''s study.


    "Come in," Hansen called out.


    The door opened, and John came in hurriedly, looking slightly flustered as he reported, "Bad news,


    Mr. Richards. The head of the petrochemical factory, Kyrie, and the leader of the petrochemical


    factory, Eamon, in Wullen Town, have all disappeared. Now, everything in the Wullen Town''s


    petrochemical factory has been cleared out, and we can''t find any traces of Yadriel''s and Sergio''s


    misdeeds. This old man is too cunning. Now, all the evidence of his crimes in


    Wullen Town has been wiped out."


    In an instant, Hansen clenched his fists and mmed it on the desk as he cursed, "D*mn it."


    "What about the batch of weapons? Have they also been transported away?" he asked with a sullen


    face.


    "Mr. Richards, we have been tracking down that batch of weapons for a long time, but now we can''t


    even find its whereabouts. I heard that more than a month ago, mysterious vehicles wille and


    go everyday in the middle of the night. They should have been transported away," John answered


    with certainty.


    A harsh glimmer flickered in Hansen''s eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. It


    was obvious that Yadriel had nned it for a long time. They were toote.


    "Then, where do you think those weapons are now transported to?" He turned his face and asked


    the two of them. Since Irvin reported that Luqman''s weapons had not been traded yet, that was to


    say that their weapons had not been delivered. Nevertheless, it was impossible for so many


    weapons to be left in the country. They might have been transported abroad through a secret


    passage.


    It had been more than a month. So, where had this batch of weapons been secretly transported to?


    Or had they been discreetly stored in a country?!


    Paul and John looked at each other and shook their heads.


    Yadriel''s election was in theing week, and the transaction of this batch of weapons was bound


    to be carried out in advance. Time was of the essence!


    "Well, let''s split up. You should immediately set off for Capital City, meet Luqman''s men, and


    cooperate with them to find a way to control Ezrah. Let''s see if we can make use of him." Hansen


    quickly gave an order and straightaway directed Alvin to take ten people to the war-torn country to


    rescue Irvin.


    After finishing all those things, it was almost dark. He fell on the soft chair and rubbed his temples


    with his index finger and thumb. He was exhausted.
