Grief, Betrayals, and a Core of Blaze
Natalie had always assumed Baron was a Godfather figure and might often resort to underhanded methods to solve problems, but whether it was the matter of the old mansion or now, this issue of Jensen trying to get the Stone family to capture Rachel, he had handled everything perfectly, with a clear trail, and in a way that was legal and reasonable. This version of Baron was like a sophisticated young gentleman, showing no trace of the underworld. The police investigated after hearing this and found that Jensen really seemed to have vanished into thin air here. Baron then produced a video clip. "Officer, this is a surveillance video I obtained from the clothing store opposite the back gate. It was corrupted earlier, but my computer skills are decent, and I just managed to restore it. Please take a look. Jensen must have been kidnapped and taken away through the back gate. Natalie, the owner of the clothing store, likely witnessed the process and was almost silenced. When we returned, Natalie was lying on the side of the road covered in blood. She has been sent to the hospital, which you can verify." Baron handed the video to the police after he finished speaking. The police looked at it and saw that Jensen was indeed being carried into a van and taken away. And because Rachel thought she wouldn't leave a trace, her face was captured very clearly. "Immediately locate this person, block all major roads and airports, and put all effort into finding this woman." The police quickly issued the command. Hearing this, Baron opportunely produced the recording of Hansel’s call to Natalie. "Officer, I have a recording here of Jensen’s assistant, Hansel, calling my wife. My wife was resting at the time, and I answered the phone. He said that under Rachel's threat, Jensen agreed to help her escape Ocean City, but since he didn't dare to openly ask my wife for help, he spoke in a kind of code. This Rachel is the woman who kidnapped Jensen. She worked for our Stone family for over twenty years and administered chronic poison to my mother-in-law, which has left her in very poor health. We were about to call the police when she ran away, and we didn't expect her to have kidnapped Mr. Luke." As Baron said this, the police became cautious. "This woman is also involved in a poisoning and attempted murder case?" "More than that. Regarding the buried body case that happened at our Stone family old mansion, although that Logan committed suicide, he had been controlling Aiden and demanding money from our main household for years, and much of that was done in contact with this Rachel. Rachel was the former housekeeper of our Stone family, so I suspect she decided to run because she realized Logan was exposed. She may have come here intending to kidnap my wife, but when she found Mr. Luke, she kidnapped him instead. As for why the Luke family hasn't reported it, they might have other considerations?" With these few sentences, Baron had successfully pushed all the issues onto Rachel. Regardless of whether Rachel was responsible for everything, it was certainly not wrong to make her the police’s central focus. Seeing the police officers frowning deeply, Baron continued, "This Rachel’s niece, Anna, is a dwarf who previously impersonated a child at the kindergarten and nearly harmed my daughter. Later, when my wife went to the kindergarten to inquire, Anna kidnapped my wife. Our Stone family has its own bodyguards, and after rescuing my wife, you asked her to go to the police station to make a statement. My wife went, but someone posing as an officer at the station took her away, straight to the high seas, where we encountered Rachel. We don't know what she was doing there, but is there some connection?" "My wife barely survived and returned from the high seas, and Rachel vanished, only to pull a stunt like this now. This person is truly dangerous. If she manages to escape Ocean City, leaving her to roam the wide world—not to mention whether she can be caught—the personal safety of us ordinary citizens cannot be guaranteed." Baron’s words made the police’s expressions even more solemn."Do you know Rachel's current location?" "It seems she mentioned going to the airport at 8 p.m. to have the Luke family arrange a private jet for her to escape Ocean City. We aren't entirely sure of the specifics. Although our Stone family has bodyguards, we are not the police. For such a dangerous operation, we hope the police can step in to rescue Mr. Jensen. That Rachel is a desperate fugitive, and Mr. Jensen is truly in danger in her hands." Baron's input prompted the police to quickly begin setting up their deployment. When Natalie heard the police say they were sending people to stake out the airport, she instinctively glanced at Baron and caught a flicker of calculated amusement in his eyes. Using leverage to shift the focus. He was utilizing this strategy with practiced mastery. Baron noticed Natalie looking at him. Without any panic or embarrassment, he walked straight up to her and said quietly, "Call Dad and tell him to instruct our Stone family people not to make a move, but to let the police take the lead in everything." "Okay." The Stone family, being a business family, could sometimes cause unnecessary trouble if they stood out too much in matters like this.
