Chapter 353
The helicopter eventually ascended, leaving Hendrix’s crew in a state of shock.
The money was real! It was already in their hands! Yet Hendrix was calling the operation off?
This was three billion dollars!
Despite their confusion and disbelief, they followed Hendrix’s orders, piling into the vans and cars.
Shein, Zachary, and Wanda were equally baffled. Had the infamous Hendrix Evans suddenly turned over a
new leaf?
Was he really willing to give up the money he had already secured?
Zachary looked up at the slowly departing helicopter and said, “It must have been Mom. She must have found a way to make Hendrix abandon the three billion in cash!”
Shein shook his head lightly. “It’s unlikely to be Josie, and I can’t think of any method that would make
Hendrix leave like this.”
Wanda’s dark eyes brightened with a glimmer of hope. She wondered if it was Carlisle’s doing, but quickly dismissed the thought.
Carlisle was just an 18–year–old student. How could he possibly make the notorious Hendrix Evans back down so easily?
Hendrix’s men drove their vehicles to the town’s outskirts where Gabriel’s armed team immediately
raised their guns to intercept.
The leading masked man waved a remote control in the air. “Every car is equipped with one of these.
Harm us, and Trodie Town is gone!”
Gabriel narrowed his eyes and gestured for his team to stand down.
Without any further obstruction, Hendrix’s crew sped away.
“Inspector Yost, are we really letting them escape?”
“Contact the bomb squad to check the town and have Teams 3 and 4 execute Plan C!” Gabriel promptly
issued orders.
Plan C was the final pursuit plan.
Even if it meant chasing them to the ends of the earth, these criminals had to be brought to justice.
At that moment, Gabriel received a call from his superior.
The voice questioned, “Gabriel, what’s the situation over there?”
“Funny story, actually. Hendrix and his men left empty–handed–taking not even a penny with them!” Gabriel joked, as he often did with his superior.

“Just as I expected,” the voice on the other end said gravely.
“What do you mean?” Gabriel asked, puzzled.
“Jalen called me not long ago. His daughter has been kidnapped!”
“Someone dared to kidnap Jalen’s daughter?” Gabriel’s face showed surprise.
Jalen was a dangerous figure, well–known to the police. They had been monitoring him closely.
Jalen cherished his daughter more than his own life. If she was kidnapped, Jalen would certainly not take
it lying down.
“Who could it be? Was it the Thompson family’s power, or the Warbane family’s influence?” Gabriel
muttered to himself.
“It doesn’t matter who did it, it’s good news for us. Yorksle has already issued the directive–put a stop to
Hendrix’s operation at any cost!”
Meanwhile, Carlisle received a call from Jalen at Network Nexus.
Jalen’s voice was cold. “Hendrix and his men have retreated. Return my daughter.”
Carlisle felt a slight relief and replied calmly, “I’ve arranged for her return. Be patient, Mr. Holder.”
