Chapter 1312
Jepherson followed, leaving a few of his men behind to wait for him outside. When they entered the
monitoring room, Jepherson sat down and leaned over.
Someone poured a cup of hot tea for Jepherson, to which he paid no heed and focused on the
screen. Someone switched the channel of the screen to show the surveince cameras which were
used to monitor various directions. All of a sudden, 24 sets of camera footage were being shown to
Jepherson in session.
Everyone held their breaths. The corner of the monitoring room was unusually quiet. Jepherson was
staring at the monitor, with his hand on his cheek.
In addition to the two department ministers who apanied him, there was also a man with a
stern expression following them.
This person was very young. He had just arrived. He did not seem to be older than twenty years
old, but his aura was very cold and demanding.
Jepherson looked at the monitor over and over again. He had been staring at the first and second
pictures. He had seen other footage, but he found nothing.
"The cars got on the main road at this ce. They went in together, but we didn''t see these cars
appearing at the same time in the following video. After checking, there were no individual vehicles
on the road. This was very strange. We also sent people to check the nearby exits, but they didn''t
find any other exits. The car couldn''t just have vanished into thin air."
The Head of the Transportation Department, Rowan, hesitated for a long time before he finally
spoke. Jepherson ignored him. Rowan heaved a sigh of relief and felt the pressure on his body
bing lighter.
But he was a 50-year-old man, a minister. He was always arrogant. When was it someone else''s
turn to be arrogant in front of him?
However, this man, Jepherson, controlled his life. His son would always be apanied by
bodyguards to and from work. Wherever his family went, there would be full-time drivers. His
grandson, in particr, would be watched over by assigned guards in the kindergarten. After
school, there would be people to escort him home too.
Jepherson seemed to be very kind to him, but...
Everyone understood what was going on.
Putting aside these matters, the Richards family''s position in Capital City had reached a point where
they could not be offended. He didn''t dare to disobey.
For the sake of his status, Rowan straightened his back, looking dignified.
Jepherson looked at it for a while and said, "Check if there are any waterways nearby."
"Waterways?"
Jepherson nodded his head while Rowan looked surprised.
A few secondster, someone took out the maps around them and disyed the panoramic view to
Jepherson on the screen.
"There''s a bigke nearby."
"Send over the search and rescue teams."
Jepherson stood up and nced at the people around him. "Thank you, everyone. I will give each
of you a reward at the end of this month."
After saying that, Jepherson turned around and left.
There were more than twenty people in the surveince room, and they were shocked by
Jepherson''s generosity.
It was well-known that the Richards family was awash with wealth. But it was the first time that they
had met Jepherson, and he was so generous.
The two ministers followed Jepherson out and refused repeatedly. Jepherson stopped and looked
back at the two. "Your children will be sent abroad to prestigious universities in the future. Upon
returning, as long as they behave themselves, they will be promised to be given their dream jobs."
The two of them were both stunned. Was he always such a phnthropist?
Jepherson did not have much expression on his cold face. He continued, "They can also choose to
stay abroad."
After turning around, Jepherson entered his own car. After taking a good look at those people, he
turned to the driver and said, "To Jermel Lake, please."
The car was started and was driven directly to Jermel Lake. After the car stopped, Jepherson
waited in the car while his newly appointed guard got out of the car to observe the surroundings.
Soon, someone arrived here. The search and rescue teams were here and the surrounding area
was closed off.
After a day, six ck cars were finally recovered. Jepherson saw the cars and said, "Send them to a
safe ce. Destroy them."
The driver looked at Jepherson from the rearview mirror. He didn''t quite understand why, as it had
taken so much time for the search, but Jepherson ordered them to be destroyed. Why?
"Let''s go."
Jepherson then returned to the hospital. He went to see Raeleigh first and he then went back to
Stuart''s side.
Xanthus had not arrived yet, but he had given Stuart aprehensive examination. He had also
ordered a batch of instruments from abroad to ensure the sess of the operation and smoother!
the progress of the inspection.
Jepherson came to the area outside of Stuart''s ward and asked, "How is it going?"
"There is no development, no progress. His vitality is very tenacious. He must have wanted to tell
you something, so that he can hold on until now. I hope that you wouldn''t go in to see him, to
prevent him from sensing your presence. This is the only way he won''t give up. Maybe you are his
last hope."
Xanthus pushed up the sses on his nose bridge and put the casebooks behind, frowning slightly.
He was a little regretful that he had agreed to take over the case without much consideration.
Stuart''s surgery was the mostplex he had ever seen and also the mostplicated surgery he
had ever experienced. It seemed that he would have to go through a long journey.
At first, he wanted to go home with Raeleigh to spend the New Year, but right then, it was a bit
difficult.
"I will fully cooperate with the operation," Jepherson said as he walked to the side and sat down. His
slightly haggard face revealed his fatigue.
Xanthus turned around and said, "You can''t go on like this. You''d better have a good rest."
"Mr. Jepherson, have you eaten yet?"
As Hadrian asked, Alvin also went to see him. Jepherson said, "I only need rest. Don''t worry about
me."
"Mr. Jepherson..."

Just as they were talking, someone ran over. Jepherson raised his head to look at the flustered
person. "What''s wrong?"
"Ste is on a hunger strike. She wants to see her family."
Jepherson replied with a hum, and he then said, "Call her family."
"Jepherson, the Doyles family not an ordinary one. Are you sure you want to contact them?" Alvin
and the Doyle family had dealt with each other before. In recent years, the Doyle family had grown
stronger and stronger. The rumor that they specialized in flipping ancient relics had yet to be
confirmed.
However, there were indeed a few members of the Doyle family who were aficionados of antiques.
There were also rumors that they specialized in counterfeiting relics, and this was something that no
one knew about.
However, the Doyle family and Marissa were on good terms. The two families had been in contact
since they were young.
The problem was that Ste was paralyzed from the waist down. If they agreed to let her see her
family, then it would mean that they were letting the Doyle family know that the Richards family will
be taking responsibility for Ste''s ident.
Jepherson said, "They will know sooner orter. So, it''s better that it is sooner rather thanter. Mr.
Alvin, I know you''re doing this for my sake, but I know what I''m doing."
"Very well. We''ll do what you say," Alvin promised. His men then immediately informed the Doyle
family.
Raeleigh woke up from her nap and felt that someone was breathing next to her. She slowly opened
her eyes. Santiago was sleeping on the same bed under the same quilt. Raeleigh was so freaked
out that she immediately sat up. Santiago opened his eyes slightly and nced at the person who
suddenly sat up. He turned over and continued sleeping without saying anything.
Raeleigh was ovee with shock.
Were they on the same bed?
