The True Lady Strikes Back novel (Cecilia and Christopher) novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170 

After Cecilia got in the car, she received a call from Christopher. 

“Is there any news?” 

Her question was abrupt, but Christopher knew what she was asking about. 

“Yeah. Matthias caught five people, and I’m going to the auction to find him now. Do you want to come?” 

He collaborated with Matthias and the police to conduct a thorough inspection of Quilton. 

Both legal and illegal parties could benefit from this. 

Cecilia replied, “I’ll take Evan with me.” 

“Okay, I’ll wait for you at the auction.” 

After they hung up, Cecilia called Evan. 

Although it was a lunch break, Evan was swamped with work. He had been busy working and was still choosing the members of the special operations unit. 

Only when Cecilia called him did he realize it was already noon. 

Putting down the police member profiles, he said to the deputy captain beside him, “Take a lunch break. We will resume the interview at 2 p.m.” 

He had interviewed more than half of the candidates he chose. He could finish the remaining candidates‘ interviews in an hour at most. 

The deputy captain, Charles Hadden, immediately got up and saluted. “Yes, captain.” 

Evan’s identity needed to be kept confidential, so he did not reveal his real name, and everyone addressed him as “captain.” 

When he was the only one left in the conference room, he dialed back the phone that had just been hung up. 

“What’s up, Ceci?” 

At this time, Cecilia’s car just came out of the underground parking of the hospital. 

The searing sun shone down on the earth, leaving no place for shadows. ‘Evan, Christopher has caught several people who may be connected to

Evan knew the police had arrested two suspicious people, and he planned to interrogate them after forming the members of the special operations unit. 

However, he did not expect Cecilia’s side to catch these people and plan to interrogate them privately. 

He did not ask such a st* pid question as “Why didn’t you bring them to the police station?” 

That was because interrogating in private made it easier to obtain the answers they wanted most of the time. 

“I am coming. At Emerald Mansion?” 

“No, at an auction. I’ll send you the location.” 

“Okay, I’ll see you later.” 

After Evan hung up the phone, he went to the cafeteria to find Charles. 

“I’m going out. If I can’t be back at 2 p.m., do the screening on my behalf. We’ll make the final confirmation when I come back.” 

“Okay, captain.” 

Evan got into the SUV provided by the police station and went to the auction according to the address Cecilia sent. 

The police station was closer to the auction venue, so he arrived earlier than Cecilia. 

Christopher came out to welcome Evan, asking, “Evan, you haven’t had lunch, right?” 

Hearing this, Evan then realized he felt hungry. 

He did not hold back and said, “I haven’t eaten yet. You can make whatever you want. A couple of bites for me is enough.” 

“I don’t think Ceci has eaten yet as well. Let’s go to a restaurant and order some food first. We have plenty of time,” said Christopher. 

If Evan were the only one who hadn’t yet eaten, Christopher would not have gone to a restaurant. 

However, Cecilia had not eaten lunch yet, so it was better to head to a

restaurant. 

The restaurant in the auction venue was divided into two floors. The cafeteria was on the first, and private rooms were on the second. 

Not everyone could go to the private rooms. Only people who had spent hundreds of millions of dollars were eligible. 

Christopher led Evan to Matthias‘ exclusive private room. 

When the food was served, Cecilia arrived. 

The three were looking forward to interrogating the captured people, so they ate quickly. After five minutes, they had put down their cutlery. 

Christopher looked at Cecilia, who was stuffing her mouth, and filled a bowl of soup for her. 

“Be careful so you don’t choke, Ceci. Have some soup.” 

Cecilia had not drunk a sip of water since she went out this morning. She was indeed a little thirsty. 

She took the soup and drank two bowls in succession. 

Evan thought it was delicious, so he drank a bowl of soup but found it far worse than Cecilia’s. 

After they were full, the three left the restaurant and headed to the backyard of the auction venue. 

Matthias‘ assistant, Xavier, had been waiting for them, and he led the three to a highly secure warehouse. 

The warehouse was huge, with several floors. It contained reclaimed or consigned auction items. 

Although not every item was worth a lot, they were at least a few trillion. dollars if added together. 

However, no one was interested in those auction items. 

The three followed Xavier as they walked past turn after turn. Soon, they arrived at a secret entrance. 

“Mr. Christopher Forte, they are in the basement. There are various tools in there, so do as you like.” 

He was implying that it was okay even if those people were killed. 

Christopher nodded and said, “Got it. You can go now.” 

“Yes, Mr. Christopher Forte.” After saying that, Xavier unlocked the door with his fingerprint, opening the entrance to the basement,

Christopher was the first to walk down the steps, followed by Cecilia and Evan. 

When the three disappeared at the corner of the stairs, Xavier closed the door and left. 

The basement was a little deep, with nearly forty steps leading down. 

By the end of the stairs, they could smell blood everywhere. Small rooms surrounded the basement on all four sides. They could clearly see the inside through the glass window and door. 

An array of torturing devices were laid in the middle of the room, intimidating anyone who gazed upon them. 

The five men who were captured were locked up in five separate rooms. All of them had collapsed onto the ground. 

After seeing Cecilia, their expressions changed significantly. 

Cecilia was the target of their visit to Quilton, but they were caught before they could do anything. 

They knew exactly what awaited them, but their teeth had already been knocked out, and they could not take the poison. 

They did not know what was injected into their bodies, making them lose. all their strength. They could not even muster the strength to bite their 

tongues. 

Cecilia looked at Evan. “Will you do the honors, Evan?” 

Among the three of them, Evan was definitely the best at obtaining information from enemies. 

He had spent the longest time in the Peacekeeping Forces and faced utterly wicked scums the most.
