Jonas and another man were hosting Chase in the police canteen.
“Chase, thank you for helping us take down the robbers.”
Chase helped them, and they definitely would invite him for dinner.
Chase clinked Jonas’s glass and smiled modestly, “What I did was what I should do.”
Another man also had a drink with Chase. He admired Chase a lot.
When they came out after the meal, Janie waited outside with an iPad in her hand.
She swiped the screen and showed Jonas the robbers’ pictures, “Jonas, I figured out who they are. They came from Shun Kong, and the man called Bald was the boss. They committed crimes in Shun Kong several days ago and were after by the police of the Shun Kong, so they came to the mainland.”
Chase saw the man who was shot by Bald after coming out of the villa and asked, “By the way, isn’t Hare in their gang?”
Janie explained, “No. He was a famous thief before and was called “despicable pirate.” He stole a precious diamond, which was bid by a Shun Kong jeweler from Europe. Since that he was after by the police of Shun Kong. He ran to Jol City and kept a low profile. He got married in Lotus Village for ten years. His wife died of cancer 3 years ago, leaving him a six-year-old girl.”
Chase raised his eyebrows, and his eyes lit up.
Jonas asked curiously, “Why is he with Bald?”
Janie added, “Hare said he was betrayed by his fellows. Bald found him and threatened him with his daughter. Bald wanted him to back to the business again. But he was refused by Hare. Bald then shot him.”
Jonas nodded, “When they recover, send them back and tell the police of Shun Kong to take them away.”
Janie glanced at Chase, then left.
Chase asked, “Jonas, can I have a second to talk with Hare?”
Jonas agreed, “Go ahead. I go with you.”
They drove to the Southeast Hospital.
A police officer greeted Jonas when they arrived.
Jonas nodded to him and asked, “Which ward Hare is in? Take us over there.”
“213, please follow me.”
Chase told Jonas that he wished to talk to Hare alone.
Jonas agreed, and the officer didn’t say anything.
Chase walked into the ward and saw Hare was lying sideways on the bed.
He had been shot in the back and would recover in a week.
Jonas didn’t say anything after seeing Chase, checking him out, “Hey, bro. Do you have cigarettes?”
Chase handed over him a cigarette and threw the lighter to him.
After Hare took a deep drag, Chase asked, “Are you the real depictable pirate?”
Hare checked Chase out and mumbled, “I thought you already knew everything about me.”
Hare thought that Chase had the chance to talk to him, Chase must be in a high position.
Chase smiled and added, “Ok, then do you know you are done?”
Hare observed Chase with caution.
He knew the police of Shun Kong would take him there for the trail. What waiting for him would be at least 10 years of prison life.
Chase threatened, “I heard you have a daughter, 5 years old. She must be very cute.”
Hare’s face changed. He had a murder in his eyes.
“What do you want?”
Chase explained, “You misunderstood me. I have a three-year-old daughter too. What would happen to your daughter if you go to jail?”
Hare’s face darkened.
This was his most worrying thing.
His wife was a widow who was an orphan. If he went into the jail, how could his daughter live by herself?
Hare kept silent for a moment and said sternly, “Just tell me what you want me to do.”
Chase suggested, “I can take you out and help you and your daughter live a normal life. I can erase your case, but you have to do something for me.”
Hare narrowed his eyes and asked, “What? I’m just a thief. There is nothing I can do except stealing.”
Chase replied, “I want you to steal something for me. I will help you out after you got it.”
Hare bagged, “I just want my daughter to have a normal life.”
Chase continued, “If you work for me for more than a year, I will give you 10 to 50 million. Then you can quit and go anywhere you want to go.”
Hare stared at Chase, “Why should I believe you?”
Chase explained, “I’m not a member of the police station. I will give you three days. Think about it.”
Chase believed Hare won’t refuse.
Jonas was worried after Chase told him the thing.
Jonas promised to help Chase get Hare out after Chase promised that Hare won’t steal again.
Chase went home after coming out of the hospital.
He met Kenn in the gas station.
Kenn showed a playful look after seeing Chase.
