"Of course, it's reliable! I put my life at stake for this and overheard this information myself." Noah patted his chest confidently.
At that moment, Neil drove the car over.
"I'll trust you on this one time." Chad got into the car and ordered Neil, "To the Special Investigation Department."
"Didn't you want to go home?" Neil reconfirmed.
"Not anymore." Chad recalled the call from Linda.
He figured he could also meet Bernard there because Bernard had taken the Killians to the Special Investigation Department.

Wayne looked at the two scary-looking police officers guarding the entrance of the Special Investigation Office.
"Are you sure you don't want me to wait for you here?" He was worried about Hera because this was the first time he had heard of this place.
"I'll be fine. You can head back first. If Grandma asks about me, tell her that I'm having breakfast with Bernie outside." She got out of the car.
"Okay. Be careful. Call me if you need me," he said.
"I will." She closed the door and approached the entrance.
It was her first visit, but the staff seemed to know her. Not only did the guards not stop her, but even the receptionist in the hall personally welcomed her. "Ms. Youngworth, you're here. Please come this way."
She wasn't surprised at all, figuring that Bernard had made such arrangements.
She followed the receptionist to the interrogation room. She happened to see Rhett coming from the other side of the corridor while escorted by two officers.
He was still wearing that suit he wore to Linda's birthday party. His hands were cuffed, and his hair had grown a lot. He looked more disheveled because of the stubble on his face.
