Chris paced outside the police station. He spotted a young police officer rushing out and quickly approached.
"Pete!"
Pete, the officer in question, greeted him warmly with a grin.
"You rascal!" Chris playfully punched him. "What's going on? Why didn't you let me know beforehand?"
Pete Bellamy scratched his head, still grinning.
Pete was one of the officers who had taken Lena from the Hamertons earlier. It wasn't just Chris who was surprised—even Bianca hadn't expected the police to show up.
Despite this, Pete and Chris had exchanged knowing glances when he left the Hamerton residence. Understanding the situation, Chris had waited for him outside the police station.
Pete lowered his voice. "Chris, don't worry. Lena knows what to say and what not to. She's level-headed, and there won't be any trouble."
"Who ordered you to bring her here?"
Pete shrugged. "Ms. Thompson, but it was a spur-of-the-moment decision. Everything happened so quickly that there wasn't time to inform you."
Chris was taken aback. It was Lina?
"Lena is indeed related to this case. She saw that child before her disappearance, so it's standard procedure to bring her in for questioning."
Chris pondered for a moment and chuckled.
Lina had used this procedure to put Lena under police protection, as the police station was the safest place. If anyone tried to frame Lena for anything else, it wouldn't work. They had connections in the police station, ensuring Lena's well-being during her stay and avoiding any public scandal.
Chris couldn't help but shake his head in amusement. Lina's sisterly bond ran deep. She had even thought of this method!
Pete continued. "Bro, it seems Zuko managed to obtain some surveillance footage. His team is recovering the data, and once it's ready, they'll hand it over to the police. The truth will come out when that happens, and Lena will be cleared!"
"Alright." Chris patted Pete's shoulder. "I'll leave Lena in your care for now."
"No problem!"
