Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 409

The commotion startled Sophia, as she never knew the police would make such a huge fuss during crackdowns. A policeman led the way in, followed by a policewoman. Aside from traffic police, it was Sophia’s first ever encounter with a policewoman. She handed her the strips of paper to the police while explaining, “There’s no money involved in this, as all we did was stick paper to our faces.”

The policeman stared at Logan in silence, but the policewoman headed straight for Logan, which sent Logan into a fit of rage as soon as he saw who was coming at him. In an instant, he shot up from his seat. “F*ck! Why do you keep coming at me?”

Sophia wasn’t sure what the policewoman did, but in a flurry of movement, Logan landed face first on the table, while the policewoman had her elbow on his back. “You’d better keep your mouth shut.” Although it wasn’t the most appropriate time for such thoughts, Sophia thought the policewoman seemed rather heroic in her actions.

Meanwhile, Logan was still prattling on, “Are you done? Why would you come here so often when there is nothing illegal going on? You lot are doing this for the show! You are not getting off the hook that easily if you didn’t uncover anything this time around!”

The policeman scanned the room before laying his eyes on the game table that was laden with cards, but it was obvious that no money was involved. After that, he went to the window to check on the backyard, which gave Sophia a bad feeling. She cast a glance in Logan’s direction, who was still yelling for the policewoman to release him, which she did after a few seconds.

As soon as he was set free, Logan stood to tidy his clothes before showing off the golden chain around his neck, all the while crying out in exasperation, “Come over here! Let me check on your identification number! I will make sure to remember you!”

He pointed a finger in the policewoman’s face, but he retracted his hand as soon as she raised her hand ever so slightly while retaining a stoic expression. However, Logan wasn’t about to relent that easily, as he kept up with his rambling, saying, “Tell me, just how many times have you come raiding my place only to leave empty-handed? Do you understand how disruptive your raids are to my business? I will file a complaint against you!”

After giving the situation some thought, Sophia sat down once again. Logan had been throwing a tantrum for a while before a few other police came to the door. “Officer Rush, Officer Hunt, we found something in the backyard.”

The report from the police silenced Logan instantly, while Sophia immediately felt her heart sink. She exchanged a glance with Ian to see that he had a similar look of worry in his eyes. Meanwhile, Logan froze on his spot as soon as the situation sunk in, while the first thing he did was to make a dash for the doorway. The police officer who stood by the doorway was startled by Logan’s sudden movements, only to run after Logan after the policewoman ordered him to capture Logan.

However, instead of running away, Logan made his way to the backyard. Looking at the policewoman, Sophia asked, “Can we go check on him?”

Seemingly having recognized Sophia after checking on her, the policewoman turned to leave in silence, which signified her consent, so Sophia followed the police to the backyard. They arrived at an empty plot of land that marked the beginning of the space in the backyard, while the facility was located after passing through the winding corridors that followed.

There were a few people squatting on the plot of land with armed police watching over them, whereas a few police were still conducting a search elsewhere. When Sophia arrived, Logan was kicking at a man who was lying on the ground. “Are you trying to frame me? Tell me, what have you got in your pockets?!”

Meanwhile, the man was lying spread out on the ground with a bleeding nose, seemingly a result of Logan’s kicks, but he was wearing a smile all the while.
