Chapter 684
After ke finished watching the video, he instantly understood why Jimmy came to him today.
There was only one reason why the police woulde to him and ask for his favor. It must have
something to do with the underworld.
If someone else had a favor to ask of him, he might have considered it, but it was Jimmy...
He was a rising star in the police forces that was promoted to deputy director''s position at a very
young age. In a few years, he would probably be promoted as the director of the police department.
By then, Beachmarsh City would bepletely under his control.
Many ns from the underworld wanted to curry favor with him, yet, he personally came to him
today. ke would not let go of this great opportunity.
Nheless, he shouldn''t be proactive about his request. He should leave him hanging for a while
to make him feel that he owed him a favor.
ke squinted at the phone for a moment before saying, "Jimmy, is that your girlfriend who was
kidnapped in the video?"
"She''s a friend." Jimmy didn''t seem like he wanted to reveal much. "From your tone, I assume that
you know who these people are."
"I didn''t say that."
"Oh, so you don''t know?" Jimmy arched his eyebrows. "If so, I don''t want to be a bother then. I''ll
have to find another way, and I''m sure there must be a way that works."
With that, he got up and turned to leave.
"Hey, buddy!" ke quickly grabbed him, unexpected of his abrupt reaction. "I didn''t say I don''t
know. Show me the video again. I don''t know them, but my men may recognize them."
Jimmy nced at him indifferently. He knew that ke was trying to get leverage. It was rare for
him to ask for someone''s help, so he naturally had to make good use of it.
If he acted eagerly, ke would definitely keep him hanging so that he would feel like he owed him
a great favor.
Donning a calm and iprehensible expression, Jimmy sat down again, tossed his phone to
ke, and slowly and quietly drank his water.
ke thought about the whole situation carefully for a moment and decided not to be on bad terms
with Jimmy. Although Jimmy was young, he acted very mature and would someday be the
person in charge of Beachmarsh City. It would not do him any good if he upset him over such a
petty matter.
Taking the phone up, ke looked at the video carefully. After finishing watching it, he frowned and
gestured to his henchman behind him. "Take a look."
The henchman took the phone and looked at the video several times before returning it to him.
"Boss, I think it''s the foreigners."
The two muttered to each other in a low voice for a long time before they returned the phone to
Jimmy.
Jimmy sat back casually. A waiter pushed the door open and came in with snacks. As she was
about to leave, Jimmy directed, "Please send some steaks to the suite."
The waiter had been sending snacks and drinks into the suite several times. It seemed that the
woman in the suite must be hungry since it was lunchtime.
"Yes, sir."
The waiters nodded swiftly.
ke was shocked to find out that there was someone in the suite. He would be doomed if the
person in the suite was here to kill him.
After a while, the waiter sent the steak into the suite and emerged with a grimacing expression. She
came to Jimmy and said, "Mr. Hudson, the guest inside asks me to bring you a message."
"What is it?"
"Jimmy Hudson, hurry up! D*mn, I need to take a leak!"
Red in embarrassment, the water conveyed the message at one go. "I''m sorry. She said it, not ~ u
me.
Before Jimmy could speak, ke uttered curiously, "Jimmy, the person inside..."
"It''s my wife."
"Oh, I see. Why don''t you bring her out to meet us?" ke said with a smile, and his men grinned.
They kept staring at the suite and wished they could barge into it right away.
Jimmy''s expression gloomed. "ke, you said that they are the foreigners. What do you mean?"
Obviously, he changed the subject to avoid further questions about the person in the suite.
Smiling knowingly, ke didn''t pursue the subject and started talking about the video again.
"Recently, some people with mysterious backgrounds havee to Beachmarsh City. They''re not
local, but, d*mn, they are skillful. The Pooler Family treats them like VIPs and listens to their orders
ordingly. One of them in the video looked rather familiar, like someone from the Pooler Family.
As for the rest, if I''m not mistaken, they''re the foreigners whoe out of nowhere."
Emily''s disappearance, as expected, had something to do with the foreigners.
Was it really as Ariah guessed, that Emily''s disappearance had something to do with Eric?
After getting the answer he needed, Jimmy sent those people away. As soon as he returned, the
door to the suite was pushed open and Ariah ran out, "Where is the restroom?"
"Over there..."
Jimmy had only said two words before Ariah disappeared out of sight.
He shook his head andughed as he followed her.
Coming out of the restroom, Ariah had a satisfying smile on her face. As they exited the cafe, she
asked anxiously, "How is it? Have you found a breakthrough?"
"Let''s go back first."
As he said, Jimmy opened the door, and Ariah entered, pursing her lips.
On the way back, David called, and Jimmy got Ariah to turn on the speaker.
David''s voice came from the other end of the line, "Captain, I followed Emily''s brother to the hotel.
He stayed for a while, and now he came out again. I''ve been following him from a distance away.
Judging by his direction, I think he''s going to the Pooler residence."
"Okay. Keep your eyes on him and report to me at any time."
"Yes, Captain."
After Jimmy hung up the phone, Ariah hurriedly asked, "Who is this Pooler Family? I heard you
talking about them in the cafe just now."
Turning the steering wheel slightly and tapping on it slowly, Jimmy frowned and said after a moment
of silence, "It will be a bit troublesome if the Pooler Family is involved in Emily''s kidnapping."
Even he felt that it was troublesome?
Did it mean that the matter itself wasplicated?
Ariah asked subconsciously, "What''s with the Pooler Family? Are they very powerful?"
"There are three big mafia families in Beachmarsh City. You''ve seen one of them, the Hanson
Family, and the Pooler Family."
Mafia families?
Did he mean the organized crime families?
"Didn''t you say that there are three mafia families? The Hanson Family, the Pooler family, and who
is the third family?"
Ariah was curious. She didn''t know that there were these mysterious families remained obscure
under the surface of a peaceful city.
Ignoring her question, Jimmy exined, "The Pooler Family''s reputation in Beachmarsh City is not
inferior to that of the Hanson Family. In fact, they''ve be more powerful in recent years."
Ariah had a bad feeling when she heard that. "Are you saying that Emily will be in great danger if
she falls into their hands?"
"Don''t worry, I have some affinity with the head of the Pooler Family," Jimmyforted her and
stepped on the elerator pedal. "Emily will be fine. She is just a youngdy who has nothing
against the Pooler Family. They won''t harm her."

Despite his reassurance, Ariah could see a hint of darkness under his eyes which made her heart
sink as well.
