Chapter 708 A Collusion 

polier uniform? Faking a police uniform is against the law!” 

Exactly, and they might even use the police uniforms to engage in other criminal 

Take me there, quickly!“ 

The real cop, without any delay, followed her back to the vicinity of the pharmacy

The two impostor cops had lost Lysander and were as frantic as cats on a hot tin roof. By the time they thought of running, it was already too late

Lysander had already formed a hunch about their identities. After discussing the situation with the police who had arrested them, she left. She hailed a taxi to return to the Guerra family’s old house, and on the way, she hastily called Susan

On one hand. Josiah was missing. On the other, there were people willing to impersonate policemen regardless of the consequences. These two incidents happening so closely together made it impossible not to connect them

Susan practically picked up the phone immediately

Lysander, how are you? Are you safe now? Nilou and Rhizone have already briefed me on the situation. Your mother and Aurora are also here now. Everyone was really worried about you and Josiah, but neither of you could be reached.” 

She spoke swiftly, her voice brimming with worry

With an apologetic tone, Lysander said, Madam Susan, I didn’t intentionally ignore your calls. The situation was critical earlier, and I was afraid of alerting the enemy, so I purposely set my phone to silent mode. But it’s all right now. Those two fake policemen have been taken away.” 

The sound of Susan sharply inhaling could be heard from the receiver

Both Nilou and Rhizone were children of measured words. When recounting events, they didn’t exaggerate or embellish the facts. Hence, all she knew was that the police Lysander encountered were somewhat suspicious, but she had no idea of the true extent of the danger involved

should come home as soon as possible. We can figure this out together. It’s too dangerous to be alone at a time like this. Ah, why is it that we can’t reach Josiah just when we need him the most… 

Susan was worried about Lysander’s safety and persistently urged her to return quickly

Lysander inquired about Laura and the otherssituation, learning that everyone was doing well. Assured there was nothing to worry about, she explained in a gentle voice, Josiahhas some important matters to deal with. Once he’s finished, he’ll definitely get in touch with you.” 

Susan was no longer young, and she also suffered from high blood pressure. If she were to find out that Josiah had disappeared along with Tiffany, it could seriously upset her

Lysander had no other options, so she could only reassure her first by saying, Impersonating a police officer is a serious matter. I’ll return once it’s resolved.” 

“All right, just make sure you don’t stay up too late. You’re still young, and it wouldn’t be good to ruin your health.Susan noticed it was nearing midnight and couldn’t help but add an extra word of caution

Even during the times when Josiah was most engrossed in his.work, he would still make a phone call home whenever he had to pull an allnighter

It had been a long time since something like this had happened, where communication was cut off without a word

Throughout the entire ordeal, Lysander maintained a cool and composed demeanor, which prevented Susan from noticing anything unusual. However, she knew she couldn’t return to the Guerra family’s old house for now. So, she told the driver, Could you please change the destination? Take me to Guerra Group.” 

The driver, with nothing else to do, teased, Working late again, huh?” 

Lysander absentmindedly responded with a hum

She meticulously pondered over the places Josiah could have possibly visited with Tiffany. Since she couldn’t figure out what might have occurred after his departure, her only option was to first head over to Guerra Group to assess the situation

As it was approaching midnight, it was likely that only the security and onduty staff remained in the company

Lysander’s speculation was quickly debunked

After Josiah and Tiffany had departed, Olivia had been patiently waiting in the office for their return. However, instead of the anticipated arrivals, she found herself dealing with an unexpected influx of unwanted guests

First, everyone in the business department was clamoring to meet with Josiah. Then a director with considerable tenure from the board of directors personally went to the finance department to audit the accounts. Finally, even the manager who had been in charge of liaising with the Lanister family’s business affairs was kicking up a fuss

These individuals held different positions and belonged to various departments, the only commonality being their association with the Lanister family

Olivia had been working with Carol for quite a while and was well accustomed to the true colors of these people. Without even batting an eye, she could guess what they were up to

Rather than beating around the bush, she decided to have the secretarial department staff guard the door of Josiah’s office. Meanwhile,.she arranged for these individuals to wait in the conference room

When Lysander appeared beneath the office building, she had already gleaned some clues from the brightly lit top floor. mediately, she masked her concern and deliberately said to the receptionist, I’m here to pick up something I left during the day. Is Olivia from the secretarial department around?” 

The receptionist caught on to what she meant and immediately passed on the message to Olivia discreetly

Olivia personally went downstairs to fetch Lysander

The two of them exchanged the information they currently held while in the elevator

If Mr. Guerra really encountered an unexpected situation, he would definitely find a way to transmit information outward. But now, even Tiffany, who left with him, has disappeared without a trace. I tried to contact Riveron Corporation, but after Dillon was taken away, everything there descended into chaos.”
