Chapter 474 Taken Away By The Police


    "But..." Rachel still wanted to say something. Unfortunately, confusion still gued her


    thoughts. Several questions rushed to her mind, but she had no idea what to ask first. Slowly, she


    closed her mouth and swallowed her words.


    On the other hand, Jack revealed a calm expression. He appeared to have no regard for being


    taken to the police station for


    investigation.


    He gently patted on Rachel''s hand but looked straight at Eric beside him. In a deep voice, he said,


    "I''ll go to the police station first. Please take care of your cousin while I''m away. Don''t fret. I''ll return


    soon enough."


    Thetter half of Jack''s words were obviously meant for Rachel.


    With a nod, Eric took the umbre from Jack and stood beside Rachel. He wrapped his arm around


    her shoulder as they both stared grimly at the police car that took Jack away.


    As she retracted her gaze, a mncholic expression painted Rachel''s face. She grasped Eric''s


    hand tightly and asked uneasily, "Is everything going to be alright? Has there been any problem with


    this kind of investigation?" Before Eric could answer her questions, Rachel had already called three


    of Jack''s friends. A sigh of relief escaped her breath when she heard that they were going to Ninwell


    City to help. Finally, her stiff limbs slowly began to rx. She hurriedly walked to the parking lot and


    said, "Eric, let''s go back right away!"


    The matter with Rachel''s aunt had juste to an end. Unbelievably, Jack was involved in such an


    issue again. While she sat quietly in the car, she gently closed her eyes, already exhausted about


    dealing with such troublesome events.


    When Rachel finally arrived, Jack''s friends were waiting for her. Even Michael, who was always


    carefree, frowned and asked in a grim tone, "What the hell happened? Why is Jack involved?"


    With a troubled expression, Eric pressed Rachel''s shoulders and made her sit on the sofa. When he


    noticed the exhaustion and fear in her eyes, he answered for her, "We don''t know. My mother''s


    funeral just ended. Right after we came out of the cemetery, the police arrived and approached


    Jack."


    Henry furrowed his eyebrows. In a serious tone, he said, "I''ve asked the police about the


    investigation. There should be some news soon."


    With a faint smile, Marcus chuckled, "Guys, calm down. Jack''s smart enough to stay away from


    crime. Rachel, you don''t look fine. Why don''t you go upstairs and have a rest? If anything happens,


    we''ll notify you." "Yeah, I think so too." Marcus'' remark made Eric notice how pale Rachel was. Her


    lack of color made her look much worse.


    However, Rachel shook her head with a stern expression. "No, thanks. I''m fine! Just let me sit here


    and wait for the news. If you make me go upstairs, I''ll just be more anxious."


    "Well, that''s alright too. However, if you ever feel ufortable, tell us, okay?" Henry exhorted with


    a worried expression.


    After all, among the people present, only Henry had the experience of being a father.


    At that moment, Henry looked at Rachel''s anxious expression with sincere regret. He realized that


    he should have called Lea to apany Rachel. In such a trying time, Rachel would undoubtedly


    benefit from the support of a friend. She needed to talk with someone about the things weighing on


    her mind.


    Fifteen minutes had passed. Typically, it would be a short amount of time. However, with the intense


    situation, it felt like a full day for them.


    Within that period, Rachel had asked the same question more than three times. "Is there any


    news?"


    Unfortunately, Henry only shook his head in disappointment.


    With furrowed eyebrows, Rachel added, "Are you sure? Maybe something is wrong with your


    phone."


    Henry lowered his head and thoroughly checked his phone. After confirming that there was no


    problem, he answered gravely, "I''m sorry, Rachel. There''s still no update. Just be patient." However,


    he also suspected that there was something wrong with his phone.


    Finally, the phone rang, and everyone present held their breath. Quietly, they watched Henry


    answer the call. When she noticed that his frown grew worse, Rachel''s heart sank.


    The moment Henry hung up the phone, Rachel frantically asked, "Well, what happened? Is Jack in


    trouble? What did the police say?"


    "Two days ago, a drug deal happened on Jack''s yacht. In the middle of the transaction, the police


    arrived and caught the criminals. Unfortunately, the police suspect that Jack lent the site to those


    lowlifes," Henry said slowly with an expression of disbelief. When she heard the update, Rachel


    gasped as her heart felt like it was being strangled.


    Then, in a low voice, Henry continued, "Due to theck of evidence, the police can''t prove Jack''s


    innocence. Furthermore, a captured drug dealer also pointed Jack as the one who asked them to


    make a deal in the yacht. ording to the statement, Jack told them before that the port was


    remote and rarely visited by people."


    "Then, what will happen to Jack?" "If there''s still no evidence to prove Jack''s innocence, he will


    be..."


    Henry shook his head, unable to continue his sentence.


    After a moment of silence, Michael revealed a troubled expression and said, "Well, if we can''t


    provide some evidence, Jack will be convicted."


    ''Oh, no! He will be put behind bars?''


    Rachel thought to herself as her hands trembled in fear. Slowly, her limbs stiffened as the sensation


    spread across her body. In the end, she felt like a statue without any strength to move.


    Suddenly, a car brake screeched from the road. Within seconds, Julie''s voice echoed by the door,


    "Mr. Fu has returned!"


    ''Thank God! Finally!''


    Rachel eximed to herself as she bolted towards the door. The moment she stepped outside, Jack


    already got out of the vehicle and was walking towards her. Unable to move from where she stood,


    she stared at his figure with mncholic eyes.


    The moment Jack reached her, Rachel grasped his hands. Her reddened eyes looked him up and


    down several times. "Hey! Are you okay? Did they hurt you? What happened at the police station?


    They didn''t try anything awful, did they?"


    "Oh, rx. What can they do?" Jack didn''t seem worried at all as a faint smile appeared on the


    corner of his mouth. With a snicker, he yfully tapped Rachel''s forehead. "Do you think we are in


    the past? They don''t use weapons and torture equipment for interrogation, you know?"


    "Oh,e on! I was just worried about you."


    Suddenly, with aplete disregard for the people around them, Rachel opened her arms and


    tightly embraced Jack. Her lovely voice was somewhat coquettish, which instantly made him feel


    morefortable.


    Usually, Jack wouldn''t let go of Rachel in his embrace. However, a disy of affection was not


    appropriate in their current situation.


    After he quickly let go of Rachel, Jack walked two steps forward. His face suddenly became fiercer


    yetposed. In a calm tone, he said to his friends, "You guys should have time to talk about what


    happened today, right?"


    "Of course!" Michael patted Jack on his arms. With a snicker, he eximed, "Bros before hoes!"


    Jack broke into a bright smile. Augh escaped his breath as he said, "Well, that''s great to hear.


    Then, he turned around and looked at Rachel''s worried expression. Jack reached out his hand and


    gently rubbed her nose. "You should go back to your room and have some rest. These guys and I


    still need to talk." "No!" Rachel shook her head with a frown. "I also want to participate in your


    conversation."


    "Hey, calm down. You don''t have to be part of it. Don''t stress yourself. I will handle it well." Deep


    inside, Jack just didn''t want to involve Rachel.


    Nheless, Rachel still insisted, "If you want me to rest assured, let me listen to what you have to


    say. I need to know everything, or I will lose my mind from assuming the worst!"


    After a pause, she looked up at Michael and said in a confident tone, "Besides, have I ever troubled


    you in the past? After all, Michael has seen my ability, right?"


    "Alright, yes," said Michael, scratching the back of his head in surrender.


    In a small chamber, the curtains were tightly drawn. Despite it being daytime, darkness enveloped


    the room.


    On the bed, a man was pressing on a woman. He was tightly holding her wrist as he slowly raised


    his head. With a furious re, the man shouted, "Kailey, tell me the truth! What the hell is going


    on?"


    The night before, the man received a call from Jack. Because Jack was supposed to use the yacht


    in two days, the yacht needed cleaning. As such, the man took his equipment and headed to the


    pier. However, when he arrived, people wereing out of the yacht. Several police officers had


    just arrested a group of men and women. After a while, a policeman noticed the man''s presence


    and came over with a photo of Jack. "Sir, this yacht belonged to your club, correct? Well, it''s under


    investigation, and we would like to ask a few questions. Well, where is the person in charge?"


    The sudden interrogation frightened Benny. He looked at the ground and stood in fear as the police


    approached. With trembling lips, he answered, "This yacht belongs to our boss, Mr. Jack Fu."


    "Do you know the activities your boss used the yacht for these days?" asked the policeman in a


    domineering tone.


    After he swallowed a lump in his throat, Benny slowly shook his head. "No, I don''t know."

    However, Benny''s heart suddenly thumped as something jolted his memory. Two days ago, Kailey


    borrowed the yacht from him to entertain her friends.


    At that time, the two of them were in bed. Kailey was quite persuasive and offered an irresistible


    allure. Since Benny thought that Jack had no time to use the yacht these days, he agreed.


    But things suddenly turned sour. The police were already investigating the yacht and looking for


    possible aplices. As such, Benny would never confess about what truly happened.


    When Benny came back to his senses, the policeman already took out a business card. He handed


    the card to Benny and said, "Okay. But if you think of something, please notify us."


    "Yes, sir!" Benny answered, desperate to hide his nervousness. As soon as the police left with the


    criminals, he rushed back and questioned Kailey about what happened.


    During the interrogation, Benny revealed a furious expression. As if she was wronged, Kailey


    shivered and answered, "I don''t know! Maybe you just don''t realize your boss''s true nature!"
