Chapter 851 Dare Not To Face


    This was the other side of Marcel.


    Rae took a deep breath and walked towards his office.


    When he returned to the office, it was already ten minutester, and Rae was waiting. When he came


    in, he nced casually at Rae, while Raw stood by the side respectfully.


    Marcel sat on his chairs and raised his head to look at Rae, seeming to be deep in thought.


    Rae did not know what to say for the moment.


    Marcel said, “You’ll be very busy for the next few days so do rest more and don’t need to mind about


    what happened just now. The next time something like this happens you can report it to me, and I’ll


    handle it!”


    Rae stunned, hearing his solemn and proper tone, she instantly felt touched inside.


    His support and care made her feel that this ce was less cold. Since she became Rae, this was the


    first time that she had felt warm and touched like never before, and it was more than what anyone or


    anything had previous made her feel.


    Yet, if he had not invited her for a one night stand this morning, it would be more perfect. Now, Rae


    secretly did not dare to go too near with Marcel, as under his ascetic demeanour was the nature of a


    rascal-like beast in human clothing that was deeply hidden.


    She had heard the news during the afternoon. Tomas and Andre were transferred out of the crime


    investigation team, one serious demerit and were given serious warnings. The Director General had


    even called for a meeting specifically for this matter, to tellrades that were out to crime scenes and


    out for investigation to watch their behaviour and to not forget their discipline and standard procedures.


    In the case of vitions, the standard treatment would be termination.


    As Rae was always in and out of Marcel’s office and had stayed for a rather long time inside, while


    Marcel would call on Rae for any matter, eventually it was natural that this would attract a lot of secret


    attention.


    Further, as Tomas and Andre were demerited, the people who were secretly observing Marcel and Rae


    had grown.


    At this moment, Rae could not care for this. In fact, she did not want to care.


    Sha’s testimony had made her recall Rae’s death as she calmed down, thinking of what Rae might


    have faced. Perhaps Rae had faced the same kind of thing which Melody and Phillipa had faced as


    well, this sort of threat, and thus Rae was murdered. She could not figure it out, even if she had


    guessed it she did not dare to face it, did not dare to handle it. She thought that she was betraying her


    uniform, and had betrayed her own conscience.


    Her conscience was suffered and interrogated greatly. She asked herself over and over again, whether


    a revenge like this right or wrong?


    She could not face it.


    At the moment, her mood was very low and depressed, and could not cheer herself up for the entire


    afternoon. Perhaps her mood was gloomy and Marcel had realised it. In the afternoon near the end of


    work, Marcel dialled the interior phone line and called her to go to his office.


    When Rae entered, Marcel was sitting behind his office desk. He raised his eyes looking at her, looking


    very striking.


    As Rae went in, she did not walk to a position near him. From afar, she asked, “Captain Hopkins, you


    were looking for me?”


    Marcel did not speak but merely stared at her, his focused look was indeed mesmerising, and the


    words he spoke showed his care, “Why? You’re not interested?”


    “A little!” Rae did not hide this. She felt that it was better not to lie before someone like Marcel. Firstly


    being it was exhausting to lie, and secondly he was an excellent observer. Never-ending questions


    were also an issue, so being straightforward and honest was better than anything else.


    “Being put down by your colleagues?” He looked at her, seeming to smile while not really smiling.


    Rae looked at him and saw that his eyes had an intimidating glimmer, thus she replied, “I wasn’t put


    down but I was gossiped about. I do feel a little unable to handle the damage, but I also feel that it’s not


    a big deal, so I’ve been feeling worried. Further, I practically didn’t sleepst night and I’m exhausted!”


    Marcel changed his posture. He crossed his arms and put them on the table, while remaining


    expressionless, “You have worked a lot overtime these few days and didn’t rest well, thank you for your


    trouble!”


    “It’s what I should do!” Rae replied.


    “Don’t ponder upon what happened today, you were gossiped about because the others are jealous of


    you!” Marcel was indeed so straightforward.


    Rae smiled and did not reply.


    Marcel then continued, “I’m satisfied with your work!”


    This was the first time that Marcel hadplimented her, and hadplimented her without sarcasm.


    This sort ofpliment was certainly out of Rae’s expectation, but she still med herself.


    From her expression, Marcel understood her thoughts, “Don’t worry too much, you should just be more


    cautious after!”


    Rae nodded, her eyes sparkling with light.


    Marcel looked at her, his dark pupils carried a smile that was slowly seeping through, “In three days,


    this case would be done with its trial. Do lighten up!”


    “Yes sir!” Work still had to go on, and Rae could separate it clearly.


    Marcel spoke again at this moment, “Braeden was not the man in Melody’s disk!”


    Rae froze, she did not expect Marcel to speak to her about work at this moment. She immediately


    thought of the man in Melody’s disk who had a private characteristic, it was not Braeden?


    “Then the guess was wrong?” Rae was shocked.


    “Yes!” Marcel’s brows were also furrowed.


    “Was Braeden in fact really innocent?” This question of Rae’s sounded as if she was asking herself, but


    it was also as if she was asking Marcel.


    Marcel shook his head in affirmation, “No, Braeden wouldn’t be that innocent!”

    “But there wasn’t strong evidence either!”


    “It will surely appear!” Marcel eximed, “And very fast as well!”


    Rae nodded her head.


    At this moment, Marcel’s phone rang, and he picked up the call in front of Rae. Rae could only hear


    him say, “Alright, go check on it right now, and don’t startle them.”


    After he hung up the call, Marcel said to Rae, “Kenzie has a farm in Z Town, thirty kilometers away from


    City B!”


    “What?” Rae stunned. “That donkey?”


    “Yes! That donkey’s right there!” While Marcel nodded, his eyes sparkled with a light so shiny that it


    was mesmerising.


    Rae instantly felt that things had took a better turn. “Would Kenzie be rted to the murder?”


    “This we have to investigate!” Marcel was not certain.


    Marcel stood up, “Let’s go!”


    “We’re going to Z Town now?” Rae also wanted to go see that donkey.


    “Go get a few men and spilt up, remember to bring the truck to bring that donkey here!” That’s


    important evidence!”


    “Alright!” Rae went to arrange it immediately.


    When she had finished arranging, Marcel was already waiting for her in the lobby.


    Rae rushed to report, “Captain Hopkins, Easton and Sean would go together while Gustavo and the


    rest are on the way. Can the both of us go together?”


    “Sure! Ask them not to use their police license! Keep a distance around one meter from us, they


    shouldn’t follow too closely. Also, ask the two of them to disguise as merchants dealing in donkey meat


    that are buying male donkeys. They’ll go check it out first, after they confirm then we’ll go!”


    “Yes sir!” Rae instantly understood what Marcel meant.


    Marcel went to start the car. Rae was about to get on the car, while her phone started vibrating. She


    took it out hurriedly and realised that it was the colleague that she arranged. When the call connected,


    the other side told her, “Rae, we just found Piper and Kaden together! They’re at the dam at the


    Western Suburbs of City B! The two of them seems to be arguing!”


    Rae stunned, feeling surprised. “Keep close attention and listen to what they’re arguing about! Also,


    don’t lose them!”


    “Alright!”


    Rae hurriedly told this clue to Marcel.


    Marcel only replied a few words, “Inform them not to startle them!”


    “Yes sir!”


    “But why would Piper be together with Kaden?” Rae could not understand it no matter what, would she


    be rted to the murder?


    “Since when did you order for people to watch over Piper?”


    “I’ve arranged since yesterday!” Rae only felt that Piper and Sha were problematic, so of course she


    would pay attention.


    Marcel smiled lightly and said, “Rae, you already possess the ability to make an overall n, shouldn’t


    you try to be a Director General?”


    Rae’s attentiveness made Marcel feelforted and also a little angry. Since she was so attentive,


    would he be facing more trouble afterwards?


    Yet, if she was too gentle and pose no challenge, would he feel even bored?


    Being stunned by these joking words, Rae immediately raised her head, her thin face instantly looked a


    bit embarrassed.


    Turning his eyes over quickly, his sharp gaze swept towards Rae. Seeing her ck pupils sh with


    embarrassment and helplessness, his cold, thin lips curled with a small smile, “I was joking, surely you


    can’t be pissed off?”


    “No!” Rae shook her head, her tone carried a bit of emotion.


    Just now, she had felt that Marcel’s tone seemed to have a light bit of sarcasm in it, not being merely a


    joke.


    Hearing Rae reply with a bit of emotion, Marcel nced at her and did not take heed of her.


    She straightened her body up a little haughtily, feeling Marcel’s gaze. Her eyes looked afar indifferently,


    her small, thin face waspletely expressionless. She was like a wooden puppet at this moment.


    “Are you angry?” Marcel suddenly asked again.


    Rae did not reply.


    The inside of the car was suddenly so silent that they could only hear each other breathing, but


    Marcel’s cold face suddenly did not have any displease on it.


    Rae was very frustrated.


    Seeing that Rae did not reply, Marcel did not speak again.


    Rae turned her head to look outside the window!


    “Girls are indeed girls!” Marcel’s voice rang from the side, low and chilly.


    Rae turned her head over, her heart feeling a little flustered. How he spoke in this way was a little out of


    her expectation, she did not know what he meant.


    She was afraid that if she spoke and pissed him again, so she merely stared silently at the man beside


    her!


    Marcel was driving so attentively as if he had never spoke. His dark gaze looked forward, his eyes


    shining with a deep glimmer, yet in his eyes was a cold smile.


    He was so dark and cold, making people felt as if they were ced within an icy hell, feeling


    constricted!


    Also, his proud and haughty expression even made her be more and more silent.


    Soon, they arrived at Z Town. At the watchpoint, Marcel parked his car at a spot that was one kilometer


    away from the farm, waiting for the confirmation from Easton and Sean.


    But Gustavo called. “Captain Hopkins, we don’t need the confirmation anymore. I have already


    confirmed it myself, bring the truck over and pull this menace away, anyter this donkey would be


    going into the cooking pot!”


    Marcel immediately drove, bringing Rae to the farm.


    When they arrived, their men were already there. That donkey was led to the side of the car which


    Gustavo and the rest were driving. The manager of the farm was a woman in her fifties, she was in a


    heated argument with Gustavo.


    “Who are you guys to take away our donkey, surely you must give a reason?”


    When Gustavo talked, he talked with meaning. “Don’t argue with me about this, I’m not the person


    giving the orders. I only know that this donkey hasmitted an offence and it didn’t guard its privates.


    You all have allowed it and didn’t put it under guard, allowing its privates to harm other people. We’re


    not only going to take it away, but you’re going to be taken away too! You can tell the police station if


    you have any problems!”


    “How can our donkey harm people?” The manager was furious. “It’s a donkey that doesn’t go outside,


    how did it managed to harm people?”


    “How did it harm?” Gustavo shrugged and coughed once, replying, “I’m embarrassed to even tell you


    how it harmed, but at the end of the day it really did harm people!”
