Chapter 255 The News Spread Too Fast 

I couldn’t explain it to him clearly for a while. 

Weiwei took a slight breath and said, “Ashley reported it. The police found Henry’s body. They are still investigating.” 

“I’m still in Dracview, unable to rush back. What are your plans for the Conner Group?” He asked bluntly. 

I knew that when this news broke out, the already precarious Conner Group was almost unable to withstand it, let alone now even the Hinton Group was implicated. 

Taking a breath, I said somewhat dejectedly, “I don’t know either.” 

Alexander sighed, his helplessness audible even over the phone, “This happened too suddenly. Never mind, I’ll call Cory to arrange for public relations, you cooperate with the police investigation as soon as possible on your end.” He paused for a moment, then asked 

suspiciously, “By rights, you should be at the police station now, and your phone should have been confiscated. How can you still answer my call? So, where are you?” 

“The Hinton family’s old house!” I exclaimed, gradually realizing the problem. 

In this situation, if someone with ulterior motives discovered that I was not at the police station, but was safe and sound at the Hinton family’s place, and this news got out, it wouldn’t just be the Hinton family and the Conner family that would be the subject of discussion, but also the police station. 

Thinking of this, I quickly hung up the phone and looked at Walter, 

saying, “I need to go to the police station immediately.” 

Walter seemed to realize as well, nodded, and without saying much, said, “Let’s go.” He then pulled me towards the outside of the old house. 

However, we were still one step behind. Before we could open the main gate of the Hinton family’s mansion, we heard the sound of an engine from outside, clearly the sound of a car stopping. 

Upon seeing this, Walter and I exchanged a glance, almost tacitly understanding that it was likely the journalists had approached the Hinton family. 

He looked at Odin and said, “You go take a look.” 

Afterwards, he pulled me behind the artificial hill in the yard. Sure enough, as soon as Odin opened the door, a group of people holding flashlights and microphones began to ask me if I was not at the police station, but here. 

After all, Odin was the person in charge of more than a dozen 

companies under the Hinton family. He could handle these reporters. 

Seeing this situation, I couldn’t help but panic, “It seems like we can’t get out of here.” 

Walter withdrew his gaze, said little, and looked at Roy, “You go drive, wait for us at the back door.” 

Roy nodded in agreement and left in a hurry. 

Walter led me around to the back door of the old house. Looking at the lake that surrounded the entire mansion, I was stunned for a moment. Before I could react, Walter had pulled me onto a fishing boat by the lake. 

Sitting on the fishing boat, I was still shaken and couldn’t help but ask, “Where are we going? Didn’t we say we were going to the back door?” 

Walter nodded, saying in a deep voice, “We’ll be there soon.” 

I didn’t have time to ask more, my phone rang. It was Captain Lucas calling. As soon as I answered the call, an anxious voice came from Captain Lucas, “Ms. Conner, where are you now?” 

Hearing his voice, I guessed that something must have happened at the police station as well. I quickly said, “I’m on my way to the police station, Captain Lucas. Is the police station also surrounded by reporters?”
