Aiden had anticipated that Hayden’s arrest would generate significant attention, but he hadn’t anticipated it escalating so rapidly.

He was convinced that someone was orchestrating the situation.

Addressing the police chief of Hestrya, he said, “I will send you a document shortly. After reading it, you will understand the reasons behind Hayden’s arrest. However, you must destroy the document immediately and ensure no one else lays eyes on it.” 

Aiden refrained from initiating an investigation against Hayden for drug trafficking because he didn’t want to tip off the “Wolf Killer” organization. As it might lead the other two shareholders to return to the “Wolf Killer” base, forcing them into hiding. 

The police chief grasped the gravity of the situation through Aiden’s words, leaving him with the thought that he was… 

“No. Hestrya is in big trouble now,” he corrected himself silently. 

His expression turned notably grave. “I understand, Commander Shaw,” he responded. 

“I must emphasize something crucial. As far as everyone is concerned, Hayden is detained within your police headquarters, and his location must not be divulged,” Aiden stressed. 

Sensing the challenging position he was in, the police chief replied, “Commander, the right to legal representation for the arrested is protected by the law. I can postpone it temporarily, but I doubt I can prolong it for more than a day.” 

He indeed couldn’t extend the delay for a whole day. 

“After reviewing the documents, you should be able to devise a strategy to prevent the lawyer’s intervention.” 

With that, Aiden hung up the phone. 

He selected pertinent details from the information Cecilia had forwarded to him and transmitted them to Hestrya’s police chief. 

Toward the conclusion of the document, he appended the words “drug trafficking network.” 

Hestrya’s anti–drug efforts were widely regarded as the most successful in Clusia, receiving annual nominations for commendation. 

Consequently, the police chief placed particular emphasis on anti–drug activities in other states, ensuring his city’s laurels remained untarnished. 

Upon reviewing the information provided by Aiden, the police chief swiftly grasped that Hayden had been using charity work as a facade for

illegal activities. 

When he reached the end of the document and saw the phrase “drug trafficking network,” his suspicions were definitively confirmed. 

His complexion instantly paled, and he promptly deleted the documents from his computer, 

He found it hard to fathom that the city, which prided itself as a model anti–drug entity, was harboring such a toxic organization. 

After regaining his composure, the police chief reached out to Aiden 

once more. 

“Commander Shaw, why don’t you commence the investigation 

immediately? Hayden’s arrest is a sudden development, making it the ideal time to probe. Evidence is more likely to surface now. Delaying could lead to significant uncertainties.” 

“Hayden is embroiled in a larger conspiracy. We cannot focus on his drug trafficking activities for the time being. Doing so might alert the major players behind him,” Aiden explained. 

Realization dawned upon the police chief. 

“He’s absolutely right. Hayden alone couldn’t have orchestrated such an extensive drug trafficking network. He must either have accomplices or be supported by someone else!” he realized. 

“Commander Shaw, I understand the situation. I’ll prevent the lawyer from meeting Hayden, but I can’t prolong it indefinitely. At most, I can delay it for 48 hours,” the police chief assured. 

“That’s more than enough time. Please await my updates.” 

“I will, Commander.” 

After the call ended, Aiden breathed a sigh of relief. 

With the support of Hestrya’s police chief in stabilizing the situation, Aiden knew it would buy him the crucial time he needed. 

He then arrived at Elaine’s intensive care unit. 

Elaine had briefly awakened once before, but due to her weakness, she had slipped back into slumber. 

Her physical condition had markedly improved, and there was a significant rise in the readings on her ECG monitor. 

Her previous sickly pallor had now transformed into a healthier complexion.

Aiden carefully tucked in the quilt for Elaine before leaving the ward with Cecilia. 

The siblings then headed to Evan’s ward. 

Evan was on the phone asking about the progress on finding a stand–in for Cecilia. 

They had identified a few stand–ins who bore a resemblance to Cecilia, but they hadn’t assessed their combat abilities. 

Upon Aiden and Cecilia’s arrival in his ward, he swiftly issued his instructions before ending the call. 

Aiden then provided a brief explanation about Hayden’s arrest. 

Cecilia hadn’t anticipated such a smooth progression. “Aiden, in another two hours, Hayden will be transferred to Acocester Police Headquarters, correct?” 

“There could still be ‘Wolf Killer‘ spies in Acocester. We can’t risk sending him to the police headquarters. He will be directly taken into military custody. I’ll be there when he arrives.” 

Certainly, Aiden didn’t intend to go alone. He planned to bring Jeffrey, who was believed to be deceased, with him. 

Aiden’s strategy was to use Jeffrey’s confrontation with Hayden as an opportunity to extract more information from their interaction. 

Evan was filled with deep admiration for Cecilia. 

After all, she was the one who had uncovered Jeffrey and Hayden’s real identity.
