Chapter 1087
Indeed, he didn't have the capability to ask Toby to return the goods to him after the latter had seized them. However, he was never the kind of person who would keep his grievances to himself. He couldn't fight against Toby openly as the latter was rich and powerful. Still, he could secretly put a spoke in Toby's wheel to disgust him.
A hint of excitement flashed across Xander's face when he realized what Connor meant. He immediately replied with a nod, "Yes, Mr. Salzburg. I'll get it done right away."
"Just go." Connor waved his hand.
Xander left quickly to make the necessary arrangements.
Connor picked up the remote control and replayed the paused video of the opera, upon which the video started playing again. Unfortunately, this time he was no longer in the pleasant mood he had been in as he rewatched the video.
Toby was still unaware that Connor was already setting a trap for him. At this moment, he and Sonia arrived at the police station. He had just parked the car, unbuckled his seat belt, and was about to get out of the car when his phone rang. It was a phone call from Tom.
Sonia released her grip on the car door handle when she saw that. "Answer it. We'll get out of the car after you finish talking."
"Give me a minute." Toby nodded slightly before swiping his thumb across the phone's screen. Then, he held the phone to his ear as he spoke. "Hello?"
Tom's apparently excited voice sounded through the phone. "President Fuller, what we did to Triforce Enterprise was a success. Chief Dunlap has heard the information disclosed by our men. After he left the company, he went to the Mining Resources Bureau right away to check the files on the mine collapse back then."
"Uh-huh," Toby mumbled. "Got it."
"It's too bad that Titus did a clean job of destroying the evidence back then. Regrettably, the conclusive evidence is gone, or he'd absolutely be shot to death. How ironic that we can only make him pay an astronomical compensation in retribution at the moment," Tom said with a sigh of regret.
Toby pursed his lips before turning to look at Sonia. "I'm also to blame for this. Titus went out of his way to borrow some of my men while getting rid of some of the evidence back then, which was why I knew about this. If I had been able to stop him from destroying the evidence, or if I had been able to get my hands on the evidence before he did, he wouldn't have been so lucky right now."
When Sonia noticed how the man blamed himself for how things had turned out this way, she patted his hand and reassured him with a smile, "What are you feeling sorry about? You were hypnotized into thinking you loved Tina back then. Titus is her father, so it was normal for you to help him. It's just that I never thought you'd help him with this kind of thing."
Toby replied with a frown, "I didn't know Titus had borrowed my men to get rid of such evidence. I wouldn't have lent my men to him if I had known about this. I shielded him at the time for Tina's sake, but I wouldn't be so unscrupulous. We're talking about the lives of 15 people here." He thought nothing of people's lives, nor did he care about the lives of others, but he wouldn't act with no regard for human life as Titus did. Not only did the latter not stop after people were killed, but he even made a special effort to hide it and destroy the evidence.
Sonia let out a disbelieving gasp when she heard the figure. "What? 15 lives, you say?"
Toby nodded. "That's right; there were 15 of them. I was also shocked upon learning about this. When Titus asked me to lend him my men back then, I didn't know what he was trying to do, so I simply lent my men to him without asking him about it. It wasn't until when my men came back later that I realized Titus had actually done such a thing. It was my mistake." As he had said, had he known earlier that Titus would do such a thing, he wouldn't have lent him his men.
