“What is it?”
“At three or four in the morning, something happened in a train carriage—someone recalled hearing a loud sound. After the crew investigated it, they said that someone had secretly smuggled firecrackers in. Everyone in that train carriage was evacuated and a few have been detained.”
Firecrackers?
When travelers board the train, they would have to undergo a strict security check by the authorities before that. It was impossible for anyone to smuggle prohibited items on board.
Hence, Sasha did not really believe that.
“This isn’t the truth, right?”
“You’re smart, Ms. Wand. When we investigated it, we realized that there were no signs of firecrackers in that carriage. Instead, we found bullets and ammunition. There were also uncleaned bloodstains on the floor!”
When Sasha heard that, her mind became blank. Her hand started shaking as she gripped her phone.
Bullets? Bloodstains? Why did they suddenly appear for no reason? Did something bad already happen to Frieda? Was she killed by the Jadesons on that train?
Sasha trembled violently.
“Investigate what happened immediately! See if it has anything to do with the person I’m trying to save!” she instructed agitatedly, asking them to find out the truth to the best of their abilities.
No matter what, she needed to find Frieda—regardless of whether she was alive or dead!
The man agreed and hung up the call.
Sasha slowly placed her phone down. Her body had turned cold and her palms were filled with sweat.
At this moment, someone outside her office was looking for her.
“Ms. Wand, the legal department suddenly sent a message, saying that the case is not going smoothly. Since Mr. Hayes is not around, they hope that you can go there and discuss the case with them.”
“What?”
Sasha, who had just placed her phone down, raised her head abruptly.
Her face was still completely pale.
“Apparently, the evidence that was provided to the court is different from the one provided by the defendant. Also, after a series of checks, it is proved that the defendant’s version is the master tape.”
The person who looked for her was a department manager tasked to relay the message to her.
However, when he saw how unpleasant Sasha’s expression was, he was so scared that he could not even speak coherently.
“Ms. Wand, a-are you alright?”
Sasha felt like fainting.
Of course, I’m not alright! It feels like the sky is crashing down on me right now.
