The True Lady Strikes Back novel (Cecilia and Christopher) novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174 

Ryan, who was called over, didn’t think much. He thought Cecilia had changed her mind and wanted him to do something. 

“Ms. Yancey, if you need anything, just let me know.” 

“Do you want to join the special operations unit?” 

Cecilia believed that Ryan was a promising talent. If trained well, he would undoubtedly become a capable one. 

He was just too self–righteous, so he needed to be tempered. 

What she said was really beyond Ryan’s expectations, and he didn’t react for a while. 

A friendly colleague walked up to him and gave his shoulder a bump. “Don’t just stand there like a fool–quickly respond!” 

Ryan came back to his senses and nodded heavily. “Yes, I do!” 

“If you can serve us with coffee and water, I’ll allow you to join the special. operations unit.” 

Ryan’s face changed slightly, and his lips moved, but he didn’t know whether to accept or refuse. 

Cecilia looked at him coldly and said nothing. 

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly grew tense, and the sound of breathing became much clearer. 

Under the gaze of everyone, Ryan made a difficult decision. 

“I accept it!” 

Although he didn’t know what the special operations unit was for, given the importance attached by the police headquarters, it must involve a major and important case. He didn’t want to miss out. 

Even if it were just serving coffee and water, he accepted it! 

Cecilia looked at the humble Ryan and said, “Service must be done well, but the tasks assigned by the captain must also be completed.” 

In other words, Ryan wasn’t just there for support. He would also participate in the missions. 

He understood Cecilia’s meaning and looked at her gratefully. 

“Ms. Yancey, thank you. I was ignorant before, and I apologize if I

offended you in any way.” 

Strong people respected strength. From the bottom of his heart, he admired Cecilia, who was several years younger than him. 

Not only her skills but also her breadth of mind was something he couldn’t match. 

Cecilia waved her hand indifferently and continued to accompany Evan to screen the remaining team members. 

The two of them screened together, and the final list was determined at around three o’clock. 

Evan called everyone to the conference room. There were exactly 30 people, including Christopher, who didn’t come. 

He handed out a confidentiality agreement to each person. 

“Have a look first. If there are no objections, sign your name. If you’re unwilling to sign, you can quit.” 

After saying that, he added, “I want to emphasize that if you fail to fulfill it after signing the contract, it will be a serious political stain. Not only you but also your immediate family members within three generations will be implicated.” 

Everyone read the confidentiality agreement carefully and signed their names without hesitation. 

Loyalty was the primary criterion for participating in the selection, and since they all met the requirements, they naturally could accept the confidentiality agreement. 

After Evan had confirmed that the agreements were all signed, he handed them over to Gael for safekeeping. 

He looked at the time and said, “Go back to your original positions for a handover. Come back here at exactly four o’clock for a meeting.” 

“Yes, captain!” 

After everyone responded in unison, they left the conference room. 

Evan stood up and said to Cecilia, “Let’s go. Come with me to meet the suspects caught by the police.” 

Even though it was highly unlikely to get any useful information, they had to go and meet the suspects in person. 

They soon arrived at the interrogation room. 

One of the suspects was already handcuffed to the interrogation chair.

Upon hearing the door open, he subconsciously looked at the door and saw Cecilia. 

He didn’t expect to see the target in such a situation, which made him feel ironic. 

Cecilia sat opposite the suspect and directly highlighted the key points from the information obtained earlier from the other five people. 

The suspect didn’t expect that all of his accomplices would confess. His handcuffed hands rubbed against each other, and he looked nervous. Evan looked at him coldly. “You certainly don’t know as much as we do. In other words, you have no value anymore.” 

Indeed, the suspect had no significant leverage. He asked, “Will I be executed?” 

Evan shook his head, opened his phone’s gallery, and showed him several gruesome photos that were hard to bear. 

“You’ll be worse off than them because you’re worthless. Hell welcomes you.” 

After saying that, he instructed the police to take the suspect away bring in another one. 

Cecilia said the same thing, and Evan also showed the photos. 

and 

The suspect was frightened and shouted, “I have value! Don’t take me away yet!” 

After seeing him confess so quickly, the two of them exchanged glances and felt that they might have caught a big fish. 

People trained by the mastermind wouldn’t compromise so quickly. 

In the auction’s basement earlier, someone had been tortured fiercely, and the person’s mouth was successfully pried open before others quickly spilled the beans. 

But the suspect in front of them was frightened by a few words and photos, which was very abnormal. 

Evan raised his chin and asked, “Tell me. What’s your value?” 

The suspect was so nervous that he swallowed his saliva and asked, “If I have value, can I exchange it for leniency?” 

Cecilia replied with conviction, “No because treason is an extraordinary crime. So, you can choose not to speak.”

She had said that deliberately to test the suspect. 

If he were a big fish, he would definitely find excuses for himself and continue to reveal his so–called “value.” 

As expected, the suspect negotiated again, “If I tell, can I ask for a peanut? I don’t want to die of torture.” 

Cecilia looked at Evan, letting him respond. 

Evan hesitated for a while and nodded. “Okay, you can say it now.”
