Chapter 1222: He Who Plays with Eagles Gets His Eyes Pecked Out
Because he heard Leah’s voice, Richard Shaw spent a sleepless night. The man sat in the courtyard of the Shaw Mansion, gazing at the summer scenery of lush trees and jade flowers, and smoked an entire pack of cigarettes.
Having quit smoking for years, picking it up again now probably tasted of some self-abandonment.
The man’s cold, handsome face bathed in the morning light, his jaw tight and showing a bluish stubble, his whole body exuding a faint aura of detachment.
Shozi arrived at the Shaw Mansion early in the morning and saw the Major General sitting in the courtyard, his lounge wear slightly marked by traces of dew, reminiscent of those years in the cabin. Her gaze turned complex and she tried to smile, saying, "Major General, there is news about Miss Coldwell."
"Mm." Richard Shaw replied indifferently, his expression unchanged, indicating for him to continue speaking.
Shozi relayed the report below: "An informer claimed to have seen a similar young unmarried woman appearing near the abandoned vehicle site on that night, helping an old lady and a little girl cross the street. Recently, across the country, some trafficking cases are appearing where criminals pretend as elderly or bring children to lower people’s guard, finally committing crimes. The identity of that grandparent-grandchild pair in Brocade City has been found; they are repeat offenders, operating as a family unit. The last place where the person appeared is a town thirty miles out of Brocade City. They should be in hiding, and local police have already been dispatched."
Upon hearing this, Richard Shaw frowned deeply and hoarsely said, "Let the Southwest Military Zone tell Griffith Squire, give them convenience in action."
"Major General, Madam is in Brocade City. Aren’t we going to Brocade City?" Shozi saw the Major General sitting in silence all night, his eyes bloodshot, tormenting himself like this, couldn’t help but say, even if you torture yourself to death, Madam wouldn’t know, why not go to Brocade City to pursue her?
Last night there was an explosive event in Nanyang. The Leclair Family’s mansion made a move on the old aristocratic Yeager Family, which was the hardest bone to chew among the stubborn families. The fall of the Yeager Family signifies the end of the Nanyang family’s rule, and the Imperial City finally grasped that most distant pearl.
The Leclair Family’s second branch’s only son was sent by the Imperial City, while the first branch’s elder son Ignatius Leclair had never had his mind on Nanyang, his foundation was in the United Kingdom, his focus was the world, which is why this matter could succeed.
Last night, the Squire siblings rescued someone right under Ignatius Leclair’s nose, Richard Shaw was aware to some extent.
Now Leah has reunited with Delphine Carter, old Leclair remains steady in Nanyang, what good would it do for him to go there as well. After all, they are two abandoned old men.
"Go ahead." Richard Shaw’s jaw tightened slightly, he said indifferently. His time is running out, there are a few months left until the Imperial City turmoil that requires lots of deployment and arrangement, between him and Leah, the fatal points aren’t solved by a few trips to Brocade City.
Shozi nodded, passing orders to the Southwest Military Zone. The Southwest Military Zone understood the intentions above, dared not delay, promptly instructed people to clear the way for Griffith Squire, leading them to the town thirty miles out of Brocade City.
The town is adjacent to the border line, even more backward and isolated, the men driving all-terrain vehicles, seven or eight still with police cars, when they arrived at the village on the town, Griffith Squire’s eyes filled with viciousness, it’s truly a flipping capsizing in the gutter, the one playing the hawk had their eye pecked, the Golden Triangle’s fearsome warlord leader, the black market’s domineering arms dealer was played by a small family unit trafficking people.
