Chapter 407 Stanley Followed Along 

He pursed his lips, not knowing what he was thinking, and simply said, “Ms. Conner, the gentleman is not a bad person.” 

I laughed, finding it ironic, “Not a bad person? A man with blood all over his hands, and you’re telling me he’s not a bad person, Sebastian? How much money did he give you to whitewash him so 

unprincipledly?” 

I glanced at him and sneered, continuing, “But of course, there’s no difference between you and him now. Birds of a feather, I understand you’d help each other out with a few kind words.” 

He furrowed his brows, opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he didn’t. He just stood quietly to the side like a piece of wood. 

The ship was not small, with a full three decks. I was a child who up inland. Although I had seen the sea more than once, I was still curious about this vast and boundless scenery. 

grew 

I found a spot to sit on the deck, the speed of the ship was fast, and the wind on the sea was particularly arrogant. After being blown for a long time, I felt my mouth dry and my tongue parched. I glanced at 

Sebastian who was still standing next to me, I said, “Sebastian, I’m thirsty.” 

He nodded, no longer showing the previous warmth towards me, and entered the cabin with a stern expression. Seeing him leave, I got up and prepared to go to the cabins on other floors along the stairs. 

There were many rooms in the ship’s hold, most of which were occupied by Ezra’s people. I was wandering around aimlessly, feeling

bored. As I was thinking about going back, I suddenly saw a man rushing out from a corner. The sound of pursuit came from behind him, “Quick, catch him.” 

Our eyes met, and without much thought, I pushed open the door next to me. The man in front of me was quick, abruptly pulling me into the 

room. 

I closed the door, my eyes wide in disbelief as I stared at the man in front of me. How could he be here? 

After the hurried footsteps outside had faded away, I looked at the man in front of me and asked, “Officer Lu, what are you doing here?” 

Looking at me, Stanley scratched his head a bit awkwardly and said, “I’ve been following all the way here, originally planning to wait for reinforcements before taking action. I didn’t expect to be discovered just now.” 

I was confused, “Take action?” 

He nodded, without time to explain, both of us were suddenly jolted by a force of inertia. Immediately after, I distinctly felt the boat we were on had stopped. 

He looked at me, whispering, “I damaged some small parts of the hull, the ship won’t be able to sail for a while.” 

Realizing what he had just said about reinforcements, I asked, “Were you trying to stall for time until other police officers arrived?” 

He nodded, his expression serious, “If I let Yi get into international waters, I would no longer be able to find out the truth.” 

As he spoke, he suddenly looked at me, furrowing his brows, “Ms. Conner, you know how Uncle Yang died, don’t you?”

I didn’t know how much he had found out, but now that I had the chance to meet him alone, I naturally wouldn’t hide anything anymore. I said, “Daniel is actually the former border leader Ezra. He didn’t die. he just changed his identity and came to River City.” 

Stanley’s face grew serious as he looked at me and said, “If you knew his true identity, why did you still go with him?” 

Seeing that he wasn’t surprised by what I had just said, I paused and asked, “Did you guess it?” 

He nodded, “All the things Uncle Yang found during this period are in his office. I’m not stupid, at least I can guess most of it if I connect all the things together.”
