The True Lady Strikes Back novel (Cecilia and Christopher) novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143 

On the way to the police station, Cecilia had already formulated a capture plan in her mind. 

She might not necessarily succeed, but she had confidence that she could do it better than the criminal investigation division. 

Her time was not wasted during the two years in the 

Peacekeeping Forces. 

She nodded solemnly to Gael and said, “I have a plan.” 

Then, she explained the plan in detail. 

Gael had not been on the front lines for more than a decade, but he worked his way up from a junior detective to police chief. 

So, Cecilia’s plan not only made sense to him, but his eyes were shining with excitement. 

Honestly, the criminal investigation division could not come up with such a comprehensive capture plan in a short period. After finished speaking, Cecilia added, “This is just my 

preliminary plan. The specific action plan will be decided once. we are on the scene.” 

She was very familiar with the residential area, and the capture plan she had come up with was already quite perfect. However, circumstances were never absolute, and they needed to adapt according to the situation. 

Gael nodded. “All right, we’ll proceed as you’ve suggested. The police station will provide full support.” 

“Now, please have the criminal investigation division stationed at key intersections and arrange a thorough search in Chimes Deli to create the illusion that the police believe the suspect is there.” 

She chose not to stay near the residential area, mainly to avoid

alerting the suspect. 

Spreading false information could divert attention and help evacuate the retired professors from the residential area. That was to prevent the suspect from using them as hostages during the capture operation. 

Evacuation was not easy. Fortunately, Quilton University regularly organized gatherings for retired professors. 

The gathering was initially scheduled for two days later, but Cecilia could persuade Hendrix to move it up to noon that day. In other words, noon was the best time for the capture operation! 

Cecilia checked the time and noticed a little over an hour left. 

After she had arranged the capture plan, she went to her condominium with Christopher. 

Gael also needed to go, but it was not convenient to go together, so they decided to act separately. 

After getting in the car, Cecilia called Hendrix and asked him to move up the gathering for retired professors. 

Hearing Cecilia’s request, Hendrix asked in confusion, “Why do we need to bring it forward on such short notice?” 

“Mr. Lane, I can’t explain the reasons in detail now, but just follow my instructions. I won’t harm you.” 

Hendrix believed in that assurance. 

“It’s too rushing, but I’ll give it a try. Not all the professors may attend, as some may not be around Quilton University.” 

“In that case, please make a list of those who won’t be attending and the reasons for their absence, along with their addresses, Mr. Lane.” 

“Okay, I’ll contact them right away.” 

Cecilia expected to make more effort to get Hendrix to agree, but she was surprised at how easily he concurred.

“Mr. Lane, please give me the results as soon as possible.” “Okay” 

After ending the call, Hendrix immediately sent a message to the retired professors‘ chat group, announcing the gathering was brought forward to noon that day and explaining the change in plans. 

He mentioned he had some urgent matters to attend to in the afternoon, so the gathering had to be moved up. 

Given that similar situations had occurred in the past, most people did not suspect anything and expressed their intention to attend. Of course, not everyone could make it. 

Within ten minutes, Hendrix gave the list to Cecilia. 

After reviewing the list, Cecilia made some minor adjustments to the capture plan’s details. 

At the same time, Jason, who was inside the residential area, was still unaware that his whereabouts had been exposed. 

He was waiting for his accomplice to send him news about the Yates family. 

After returning home yesterday, Yvette did not go out again, and the rest of the Yates family stayed in as well. 

Only Calvin went to the office early in the morning. 

Fortunately, Jason found a loophole to exploit in the Yates family, such as Fiona. 

Fiona was a journalist. Apart from covering news outside, she spent most of her time at the newspaper office. 

In fact, she could take a few days off from the newspaper company during that special period. However, she happened to have a major news story about interviewing Cecilia, which must be broadcast. Otherwise, she would miss the opportunity to capitalize on the highest level of public interest.

So, she was determined to go to the newspaper office despite

The Trur Lady Strikes Back 

Yvette’s advice. 

Selene, concerned for Fiona’s safety, had bodyguards 

accompany the latter and escort her to the newspaper office. 

“Mom, don’t you think it a little too extravagant to arrange ten bodyguards for me?” 

She had encountered various dangers while covering the news, but none felt as menacing as the current situation. 

Yvette advised earnestly, “Fiona, it’s not extravagant at all. When Ceci goes out, she’s also surrounded by a team. Safety comes first.” 

Juliana was murdered and cut into pieces by the murderer in the hospital. It was terrifying! 

However, Fiona did not take it seriously. “The murderer is targeting you. It has nothing to do with me.” 

She was not close to Cecilia, and capturing her would not only fail to threaten the latter but could also expose the murderer. 

“Fiona, just in case, if you don’t have the bodyguards with you, it’s better not to go out.” 

What Yvette did not say was that the murderer could capture Fiona to threaten her. 

If she were to compromise, she could be captured, which would then pose a threat to Cecilia. 

Fiona was preoccupied with her news assignments and did not give a deep thought about it. 

She compromised and said, “Fine! Let’s go with ten bodyguards, just this once!” 

After that, she mentioned the news, “The Yancey family’s scandal will be aired in the noon news segment. You all must watch it. It’s very incisive and interesting.” 

Yvette’s youthful face was filled with happiness when she heard that.
