    Chapter 255 The News Spread Too Fast


    I couldn’t exin it to him clearly for a while.


    Weiwei took a slight breath and said, “Ashley reported it. The police found Henry’s body. They are still


    investigating.”


    “I’m still in Dracview, unable to rush back. What are your ns for the Conner Group?” He asked


    bluntly.


    I knew that when this news broke out, the already precarious Conner Group was almost unable to


    withstand it, let alone now even the Hinton Group was implicated.


    Taking a breath, I said somewhat dejectedly, “I don’t know either.”


    Alexander sighed, his helplessness audible even over the phone, “This happened too suddenly. Never


    mind, I’ll call Cory to arrange for public rtions, you cooperate with the police investigation as soon as


    possible on your end.” He paused for a moment, then asked


    suspiciously, “By rights, you should be at the police station now, and your phone should have been


    confiscated. How can you still answer my call? So, where are you?”


    “The Hinton family’s old house!” I eximed, gradually realizing the problem.


    In this situation, if someone with ulterior motives discovered that I was not at the police station, but was


    safe and sound at the Hinton family’s ce, and this news got out, it wouldn’t just be the Hinton family


    and the Conner family that would be the subject of discussion, but also the police station.


    Thinking of this, I quickly hung up the phone and looked at Walter,


    saying, “I need to go to the police station immediately.”


    Walter seemed to realize as well, nodded, and without saying much, said, “Let’s go.” He then pulled me


    towards the outside of the old house.


    However, we were still one step behind. Before we could open the main gate of the Hinton family’s


    mansion, we heard the sound of an engine from outside, clearly the sound of a car stopping.


    Upon seeing this, Walter and I exchanged a nce, almost tacitly understanding that it was likely the


    journalists had approached the Hinton family.


    He looked at Odin and said, “You go take a look.”


    Afterwards, he pulled me behind the artificial hill in the yard. Sure enough, as soon as Odin opened the


    door, a group of people holding shlights and microphones began to ask me if I was not at the police


    station, but here.


    After all, Odin was the person in charge of more than a dozen


    Seeing this situation, I couldn’t help but panic, “It seems like we can’t get out of here.”


    Walter withdrew his gaze, said little, and looked at Roy, “You go drive, wait for us at the back door.”


    Roy nodded in agreement and left in a hurry.


    Walter led me around to the back door of the old house. Looking at theke that surrounded the entire


    mansion, I was stunned for a moment. Before I could react, Walter had pulled me onto a fishing boat by


    theke.


    Sitting on the fishing boat, I was still shaken and couldn’t help but ask, “Where are we going? Didn’t we


    say we were going to the back door?”


    Walter nodded, saying in a deep voice, “We’ll be there soon.”


    I didn’t have time to ask more, my phone rang. It was Captain Lucas calling. As soon as I answered the


    call, an anxious voice came from Captain Lucas, “Ms. Conner, where are you now?”


    Hearing his voice, I guessed that something must have happened at the police station as well. I quickly


    said, “I’m on my way to the police station, Captain Lucas. Is the police station also surrounded by


    reporters?”


    He should have said, “Well, there are journalists outside making a fuss right now, using us of


    collusion between government and business, and you of getting away with murder and hiding bodies.


    They are demanding an exnation from our police station. How soon can you get here? It’s urgent. If


    the journalists confirm that you are not at the police station now, I’m afraid this news will blow up


    Knowing that he was telling the truth, I quickly spoke up, “Walter and I will hurry over as soon as


    possible, Captain Lucas. Could you please ask someone to dy a bit longer? I’m really sorry for


    causing you such a big trouble.”


    Captain Lucas sighed slightly, helplessly saying, “No one could have anticipated things woulde to

    this point. You had an incident during the day, no one expected things to escte so quickly.”


    Indeed, if it weren’t for the incident during the day, I would have been in the police station at this time,


    and no one would have been in disarray at this moment.


    After hanging up the phone, Walter had already sailed the boat quite a


    distance away from the old house.


    Looking at the receding old house, I became increasingly confused, “Roy said the hot search only


    house and not at the police station?”


    Walter’s dark eyes deepened, and he coldly spat out a single word, “Jacob.”
