Chapter 237
The car was still parked in its spot.
As Pearl deliberated over what to do, something seemed to happen in the courtyard.
Darius opened his eyes, and what he saw rendered him speechless.
Four men appeared before him—three of them were burly and tattooed, and the remaining one’s eyes kept darting around.
Who knew what was going on in his mind? Darius narrowed his eyes.
He didn’t really want to have anything to do with them, but there didn’t seem to be any reason for him to turn them down.He rolled his shoulders, then sighed and looked at them.
"Bring on whatever questions you have."
To his surprise, the official in the lead merely looked up at the sky before pulling out an order for arrest.This wasn’t something Darius expected, so he narrowed his eyes even more.
The women paled, unable to utter a word.
Of course, this didn’t bother him.He merely looked at the officials and nodded seriously.
"You guys don’t have to look so wary.I won’t do anything to you; And I trust that you guys are good employees."
His tone didn’t go down well with the officials.He walked over to them and was pushed into the car.
The official in the lead said with a frown, "Don’t be so obnoxious, Darius.I spoke to my colleagues at the airport, and they didn’t arrest you because they had yet to get any evidence.Now, however, we already have what we need.You’re the only suspect that fits the bill."
"Cut the crap.Since you’re already here, let’s go somewhere where we can talk! Don’t let your plane tickets go to waste."
When they reached their destination, he stretched his neck and walked toward the building with his hands in his pockets.
The officials frowned when they saw him like this.
One of them spat out, "Darius, you think too highly of yourself!"
Darius looked at him with a trace of mockery.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me!"
The official's eyes widened.He jumped and pointed a finger at his badge.
Darius didn’t even bother to respond.
After walking into the conference room, Darius slammed the door shut, then turned around and leaned against the table with his arms crossed.
There was no time to waste, and he didn’t give the officials any chance to speak.
