After Robin solved the trouble, he carried Elise away from Skyline Hotel.
An hour later, someone smelt the blood on the floor and called the police. Shortly after, a group of police cars arrived, and the captain was a female police superintendent named Lacey Willis.
“Officer Willis, 16 died in Skyline Hotel. They are all underground boxers,” one policeman reported to
“Underground boxers? A gang fight?”
Lacey wondered. It was normal for the underground boxers to be killed, as they were involved in illegal, life-risking activities.
“17 dead bodies in total, right?”
Lacey had a good memory, so she didn’t think she had made a mistake.
“16, in fact. One was still alive. We sent him to the hospital and checked his identity. He’s the son of the Lucas family, Reginald Lucas. He has reserved Skyline Hotel today,” the policeman added.
“Reginald Lucas…”
An awkwardness flashed through Lacey’s eyes. She had been a policeman for years but had never seen such a case.
She was horrified when taking the first glimpse at the scene.
Reginald’s limbs and private part had been broken, stomped by someone inch by inch.
He fainted in pain while howling miserably.
“Start the investigation ASAP,” Lacey ordered.
An hour later, they roughly found what had happened.
Reginald kidnapped a woman and gathered a group of underground boxers to harm a man.
Later, the man arrived.
Ultimately, Reginald and his henchmen ended up the way the police had seen. After a fight, that man rescued the woman.
“Reginald Lucas is indeed hateful. That kidnapped woman should be that man’s girlfriend or wife.”
While waiting for the final investigation result, many policemen became outraged as this case was caused by Reginald’s evil deed.
“I agree.”
Lacy nodded. She added, “We must arrest that man. He killed so many people.”
“Captain, he did it for self-defense. If he hadn’t done it, he and his wife would have been killed by Reginald.”
“Exactly, Captain. What else could he have done?”
Many policemen took Robin’s side.
Lacy snapped at them, “We’re policemen, so we must obey the laws instead of your emotions. He broke the law. We must arrest him.”
“Yes, Madam!” other policemen answered.
Lacey was an elite in Stillwater’s police department. She was a weird policewoman. After starting her career, she hated evil as her enemy and was righteous with great integrity. Whenever something unfair happened, she would take care of it, search the justice, and punish the evil with laws.
Therefore, she offended countless people.
However, no one removed her from her position. Rumors had it that Lacey was from a famous family. However, none knew the truth behind it. She had never been demoted and was not fired.
Suddenly, her phone rang. Lacey swiped to answer, “Hello, Mr. Harvey?”
The chief superintendent, Julian Harvey, called her.
“Hello, Lacey, This is Julian. Please stop the investigation of the Skyline Hotel’s case. It’s an order from the above.”
“Why?” Lacey was taken aback.
Although she was unwilling to arrest Robin as she didn’t think Robin had done anything wrong, she must obey Kisia’s laws. Therefore, she doubted.
“No reason. Do as you told.”
Then Julian ended the call.
Other policemen thought they would have a new case. Some asked, “What’s the matter, Captain?”
“Stop the investigation of this case. Let’s return to the police station,” Lacey replied, frowning.
“What?”
Other policemen were shocked about her order. However, they were not disappointed as they all thought Reginald deserved it.
They were in Lacey’s team, so all were as righteous as their captain.
After dealing with the rest matters on the crime scene, Lacey returned to the police station and asked Julian solemnly, “Mr. Harvey, why did you ask us to give up our investigation?”
Sitting in his chair, Julian said, “Lacey, I know you are born righteous with integrity. You always obey the laws. However, in this case, do you think Robin Hailey has done anything wrong?”
“No, he hasn’t. But according to the law…” Lacey wanted to retort.
Julian flicked his hand and interrupted her, “I received the order from my supervisor. No policeman should participate in this case. By the way, you can take charge of the case relevant to the education.”
“Mr. Harvey, I…”
“Stop retorting. I won’t change my mind even if your father comes to me.”
Julian was slightly annoyed.
In the end, Lacey left his office and muttered, “Why? Is Robin Bailey also a son from an influential family?”
Due to this matter, her impression of Robin worsened.
Lacey hated the dandies the most, such as Reginald Lucas.
Since she thought Robin was one of them, she disgusted him more.
“Robin Bailey, right? I’ll be watching you. Think you are awesome? I’ll put you in jail one day.”
From that day, Lacey longed to put Robin in jail.
In her opinion, such a man like him must be arrested and sent to jail. Otherwise, he would make more trouble harming the country and the people.
Meanwhile, a unique patient appeared at Stillwater City Hospital.
He was severely injured but still alive. All the doctors were amazed as it was a miracle in the medical field.
Charlie rushed to the hospital after receiving the call. He asked a doctor, “Doc, how’s my son?”
“We thought he wouldn’t make it, but he’s still alive for some reason. It shouldn’t be. I’m sorry, but he’s disabled for sure. His limbs and private part were broken. You should know what I mean. He cannot give birth anymore.”
The doctor shook his head.
“What?’
His words were like a bombshell. Immediately, he phoned Reginald’s assistant and roared, “What did Reginald do earlier tonight?”
“Mr-Mr. Lucas, Master Reginald… kidnapped Elise Houry. He waited for Robin Bailey at the Skyline Hotel…”
The assistant didn’t follow Reginald tonight but knew about his plan. Charlie’s anger scared him so much that he couldn’t keep the secret any longer.
“Elise Houry! Robin Bailey!”
Charlie ended the call, his eyes burning in angry flames. “Elise Houry, you cheap whore! You should be honored my son likes you. How dare you reject him repeatedly! How dare you hurt him!”
“I won’t let go of you, bitch!”
