Soon, a colleague finished the call, "The team on the other side has found the person."
Presley's ominous premonition grew stronger upon hearing this.
"Alright, that means we can proceed with the arrest," the lead officer said, nodding.
Presley looked up, then back at the officer. At that moment, his phone on the table began to vibrate intensely. Turning his head back and glancing at the caller ID, his expression changed, and he could no longer maintain his composure.
He pinched his fingers together. With law enforcement present, he simply could not answer the call.
Noticing the change in Presley's demeanor, the lead officer glanced at the phone on the table. "Why not answer the call?"
Seeing the phone number had already made Presley restless. Hearing the officer's comment forced him to calm himself down, grab the phone, and directly press the hang-up button. "Just a scam call."
The officer smirked, not having the time to listen to more excuses. He pulled out handcuffs from his pocket, cuffed Presley's hands, and told the two colleagues beside him, "Take him away."
The extraction was swift, and the others in the conference hall hadn't even reacted yet.
The leading officer walked out last, stopping in front of Wyatt to nod, "Mr. Wyatt, we'll be taking our leave to report back."
