Chapter 1054 The Mastermind Was Allison Tanner
In A City.
After getting to the airport in Moscow, Luke and Percy flew back home since they did not gain anyinformation from their search on the Island of Despair. It was already midnight when they got downfrom the plane.
Percy knew Luke was having a hard time and tapped on his shoulder while saying, "Ray will constantlykeep his eye on the Island of Despair. He’ll notify us once there's news. While on my end, myunderlings will continue the search." "Alright." Luke showed a cold expression. Regardless ofeverything, he would not give up the search. He carried his luggage, and along with Percy, they left theairport but through different exits.
Luke turned on his phone and noticed he had tens of missed calls. They were all from Gordon. Hecalled Gordon back.
The call went through and Gordon asked, "You finally called me back." "What's up?" Luke dragged hisluggage and headed out of the airport's exit.
"I know you're busy looking for Bianca but we have some new progress on the investigation regardingthe issue here. I've also caught the person who trespassed the manor. Do you want to settle this issuefirst? I can bring this person to your villa." Gordon glanced at Jon, who was tied up on a chair. He hadexerted a lot of strength to find him and capture him back. After just ten minutes, Jon ended up givingin to Gordon's intense interrogation and blurted out the entire incident.
'Til head over there now,” said Luke determinedly. He did not expect Gordon to find the culprit. 'Thisincident should come to an end now. I have to use all the time I can spare to look for Bianca.'
Sean drove the car to his front and got down from it. He took the luggage and said politely, "Pleaseenter the car, sir."
Luke said, "Let me drive. You can take a cab back home." "Yes, sir." Sean handed the car key to Lukewith both his hands.
Luke drove the car to the hotel. He could not head up to the room as he did not have the room key.Vivian was waiting for him downstairs. Seeing him made her ask, "Brother, any news about Bianca?"
She was worried about Bianca but Gordon had told her she was not allowed to disturb Luke during thisperiod. Hence, she could only seize this opportunity to ask about it.
Luke shook his head with a cold expression.
Vivian covered her mouth and noticed that bringing up this topic would only make Luke sad. "I'm sorry,Brother." "It's alright." Luke knew she only asked about it because she was worried about Bianca.
Both of them headed upstairs and opened the door of the room, only to see Gordon sitting on the sofa.He was playing with a knife in his hand and waving it at Jon, who was tied up on a chair.
He was playing with the knife with his agile fingers, terrifying Jon. He was afraid that the next second,the knife would end up in his head.
Gordon smirked when he heard the sound of the door opening and brought the knife closer to Jon'sface, tapping it. ’Repeat whatever you said earlier to my brother here."
Jon trembled as he glanced at Luke's cold expression, obediently recounting the entire incident.
When Luke heard that Allison was the mastermind, his face did not reveal too big of an expression. Hesaid coldly, "Hand her to the police." "You're not going to handle it privately?" Gordon got up and asked.After all, even though Allison was the mastermind of this incident, she was Luke's biological mother.
It would be chaotic if the police exposed it to the public.
'Family members stealing from their own? Others will find it hilarious if the news is leaked. If Lukewants to, he can surely find a better way to deal with this matter.' "I have no time to handle this incident.Let the police deal with it formally,"
Luke repeated once again.
After Allison made up her mind to steal the old master's antiques, she should have known about theconsequences and thought about getting arrested by the police. Luke would not hesitate to make amove just because she was his biological mother.
Gordon snorted. 'Just how bad is the relationship between this pair of mother and son that he's thiscold-blooded?' "Call the police, Faceless," he ordered.
Vivian did not agree with this decision, but seeing that they had made up their mind, she did notexpress her opinion and took out her phone to make a report to the police.
While listening to her conversing with the police, Gordon voiced out, "You look rather tired. Do you wantto head back to get some rest?”
Til wait here for the police." Luke sat on the sofa and looked at Jon.
Jon was panicking from being stared at. His eyes kept shifting about, and he looked as though he hadill intentions.
Gordon kicked the chair and warned him, "Don’t think of pulling a trick on us. Or else, you'll end updead without realizing how."
After suspecting that Allison was the mastermind of the robbery, he had been constantly keeping aneye on her and keeping track of her.
However, Allison was being very cautious. She almost never stepped foot out of her villa. The more sheacted like this, the more suspicious she was.
Finally, Gordon received a call from the security guard one day, saying that Allison had driven her carand left the villa.
He immediately started his car and followed her. Much earlier on, when he was replacing the dashcam,he had installed a tracking device on the car as well. He then managed to follow her all the way to theneighboring city, where he saw Allison meeting up with Jon.
That man's height and silhouette were very similar to the man in the surveillance footage. Gordon'sinstinct told him that this man was the one who intruded the house to steal the antiques.
Gordon waited until Allison left before heading over to catch that man.novelbin
Looking at the cash in the house, Gordon used his own way of doing things to make Jon spit out theentire incident.
Gordon used his phone to record everything that Jon said. Then, he tied him up and brought him backto A City.
After waiting for 20 minutes, the head of the police department brought his men to the hotel.
Gordon handed the culprit and recordings over to the police. Then, he took out a huge stack of cashfrom his pocket. "The culprit and evidence have been handed to you." "These are?" The head of thepolice department looked at the huge stack of cash and was dumbfounded. ’Didn't Old MasterCrawford lose his antiques? Why is this man giving me a stack of cash?' "Cash. The encryptions are allin series. You just have to bring this to the bank and you'll know the bills were withdrawn by Mrs.Tanner," Gordon explained.
"Sure, sure. We know what to do next." The head of the police department put on a pair of gloves andimmediately took the cash.
"We'll bring this man back first, Mr. Crawford. Is that alright?" asked the head of the police department.They had never given up on the investigation but the difficulty of this case made them all lose theirheads. They did not make the slightest progress at all.
When they received the report, they thought their colleagues from the international organization werepulling a prank on them out of boredom. It was only when Vivian notified them that Luke was also at thescene that the staff in the hotline center started taking it more seriously.
The head of the police department did not delay things for even a second and immediately brought hismen to the scene. Never would he expect that the mastermind was Luke's biological mother, AllisonTanner. He had no idea how he should proceed with this case now.
"Just handle it according to the standard procedures." Luke put on a cold expression and lit a cigarette.
"Alright!" The head of the police department immediately ordered his subordinates to bring the manaway after hearing the reply.
After the police brought Jon away, Luke got up and was planning to leave.
Gordon asked, "Did you head over to the Island of Despair today? Did you find anything?" "Nope,"Luke said, his face turning darker.
"I've extended my visa. I'm planning to stay back to help you look for Bianca," said Gordon. Initially, hethought that he could return home after he managed to look for the culprit responsible for the robbery.He never expected Bianca to be kidnapped.
He planned to stay back and help Luke search for Bianca.
