Chapter 2950
"Yes." Gale was fast. Luke had nothing to nitpick about.
"But the worst part is, I'm not sure if we have evidence of illegal activities at each of their strongholds. Ifwe call the cops, it'll be a gamble. Once the police catch one, it's certain," said Gale. In a situationwhere they could not tip their hand, their ability to gather information was limited.
There was nothing Gale could do about it.
Luke did not seem too concerned about it. "With this list, we can double-team them. When it's time tothrow them down, we hand them over to the local cops and go all in on those Russians."
Gale nodded, understanding what he meant.
To completely eliminate the power of the Island of Despair, they needed cooperation from multiplesources.
They had tried once before but had overlooked some of the Island of Despair's overseas strongholds,giving them a chance to regroup.
This time, they could not afford to let this group have another shot at survival!
"Plus, this is an IP address we tracked from an email. But here's the kicker, it leads to a trendy coffeeshop where the business is booming. Even if we snag the surveillance footage, the chances of spottinganyone from the Island of Despair doesn't look too hot." Gale did not investigate the coffee shop'ssurveillance himself as he did not have the authority to do so.
His job was to provide the address to Luke, who would decide what to do next.
Luke took the investigation results from him and glanced at the address before putting it back.
"Finding that person now won't be of much use," said Luke. Even the impostor Bianca had not revealedanything about the Island of Despair when she died. Even if they spotted someone from the Island ofDespair through the coffee shop's surveillance, there was nothing they could do to them.
Gale listened to him and nodded in agreement.
With business matters concluded, he decided to poke into Luke's personal affairs. "By the way, Boss,how's your situation with Dr. Craw now?"
Luke's eyes darkened.
"I'm just curious. Now that your relationship is out in the open, has it brought you two closer...?" Galedid not finish his sentence and instead gave a thumbs-up. He did a cheeky smooching gesture, askingif things had gotten more intimate between them.
Luke looked at him expressionlessly. "Do you have nothing better to do?"
Gale shuddered and quickly realized that things were not going as he expected. He immediately shookhis head and said, "No, I'm really busy. I'm just concerned about your love life, especially since youasked me not to stop Karen." "I did say that," admitted Luke. Even though things were not progressingas he had hoped, he knew that eventually, Luca would be on the same page with him. The processwas just tough.
Luca was suffering, and he was too.
For instance, last night, Luke wished to get up and take a cold shower, but Luca was not deeply asleep.If he got up, she would definitely notice. Hence, Luke endured his inner discomfort and went to sleepwhile holding her in his arms.
Gale shrugged his shoulders and waited for his next words.
However, to his surprise, after over a minute, Luke still had not said anything else. Gale tentativelycalled out, "Boss?"
"When is Matysh's case scheduled for trial?" Luke changed the topic.
"Just half a month from now," answered Gale.
Usually, court schedules for cases could be quite long, but the two cases related to Matysh hadgarnered significant public attention. With the police having already completed their evidencecollection, the court granted some privileges, allowing for an expedited trial.
This was also a way to appease public sentiment.
After all, Matysh's actions had already stirred up quite a bit of disdain from the crowd. He had shownutter disregard for women, causing harm to two lives and a family.
The situation has sparked intense anger among the masses.
"Ethan will arrange for a prison break. We'll get him in there too if that's possible," Luke was talkingabout Ethan.
Based on their investigation, he knew that Ethan and his father had long been in service to the Abazafamily. They had committed numerous unjust acts against Marcos.
This also involved the shadowy fate of Sarah, who was forced to hide away in the outskirts of A City.This was the handiwork of Ethan's old man.
Hence, Luke planned to help Marcos get rid of this trouble.
This would also strike at Ethan's father in Russia.
However, all of this depended on whether Ethan would participate in the prison break operation.
If he were just commanding from behind, it would not be easy to get him into prison.
Therefore, Luke did not state it as a definite plan to send Ethan in.
"Don't you worry, Boss. I've got it covered. That awful guy is dreaming if he thinks he can just waltz outof A City's prison. I'll make sure he experiences that moment when hope turns into utter despair." Galegrinned, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
It had been a while since he had done something like this.
His hands and feet were itching to get started. He wished he could fast forward to half a month fromnow.
He dared to make a move on his boss' woman?
Matysh deserved to spend a lifetime in A City's prison!
Unfortunately, his crimes were not severe enough to warrant a life sentence, unless Matysh had a shortlife expectancy and could not endure the conditions in A City's prison.
"I look forward to your performance." Luke's eyes gleamed with anticipation.
Although he assigned Gale to handle these matters, it was solely because he was swamped withcompany affairs and could not afford to free up his schedule. That was why he had Gale take care of it.
Otherwise, he would be more than happy to personally send Matysh, who dared to scheme againstLuca, straight to the slammer.
Gale chuckled with a mischievous grin.
Luke noticed that it was almost time and sent a message to Johann.
At the same time, while Luca was on her way back to the company, she received a message fromJohann.
[I just saw Luke entering Ms. Rayne's hospital ward.]
Luca's heart tightened. Luke had indeed gone to the hospital.
[What's going on in there?] Luca immediately asked, wanting to know how Wanda's conversation withLuke was going.
[I'm not sure yet. He had the caretaker leave the ward.] Johann continued to fabricate lies whilesecretly cursing Luke a million times over.
As a doctor, he had told patients white lies before, but it was always due to considerations of thepatient's physical condition.
Typically, after telling a patient a white lie, they would tell the truth to the patient's family members tohave them mentally prepared.
However, lying to someone who was not a patient was a first for him.
If it were not for his relationship with Luke, he would not have agreed to this mess.novelbin
It was a real nightmare!
The thought of having to lie to Luca at any time made him feel like he lacked professional ethics.
Luca's heart sank. She naturally hoped that Luke and Gale could persuade Wanda, making her believethat there was no illicit relationship between them.
Luca replied: [I'd like to ask you for a favor.]
[Yes.] Johann raised an eyebrow as he sat in his office, reading his conversation with Luca. Hesuddenly realized that his talent for lying was top-notch.
It seemed that the kind lies he had told patients over the years had significantly improved his lyingskills.
It was a surprise that Luca did not doubt the authenticity of what he was saying.
[Could you please check on Ms. Rayne's condition for me once he leaves?] Luca asked Johann. Therewas no way she could show up at the hospital and in front of Wanda now. Hence, she could only relyon Johann to do it in her place.
