At the company.
Jacob poured out all the avocados he had brought back from the dock. They looked very fresh and there was nothing unusual about them.
He frowned when he didn't see what they were trying to find.
Liam took so much effort just to transport the fruit?
This was impossible!
He didn't believe it.
But in front of him were placed fruits.
"All our efforts were in vain?" Jacob said with a deep frown, looking at the avocado on the table.
The two 'bodyguards' glanced at Jacob and said, "It took us so much effort and we still failed to figure out how he got them in. It's not that easy."
Jacob stroked his chin with his eyes fixed on the avocados. They were right. It was not that easy to find out. Otherwise, Liam would have fallen.
"What about these things?" One of the "bodyguards" asked.
Jacob took a fruit knife and cut it. "I wonder how does it taste."
However, after cutting it, everyone was dumbfounded.
What was it?
There was no flesh in the avocado, but a green lump inside.
This was clearly the lump that grew out of the chestnut blossom after it withered.
The drug was scraped from this lump.
The three of them glanced at each other. They thought the contraband they had brought in were finished products. They never expected these were semi-finished products.
"Unbelievable." Jacob frowned, holding a so-called avocado. He found it hard to believe that they smuggled the drugs in this way.
Jacob looked at the two 'bodyguards'. "I'll leave the rest to you."
With these, combined with the clues provided by Bella, they should be able to figure it out soon.
They packed the things and prepared to bring them back to the station.
After they left, Jacob did not relax.
"I'll take you back," said Jacob, looking at Arya.
From the beginning to the end, Arya had remained a stolid face.
"No need. I want to stay alone for a while." Arya sat at her desk and didn't seem ready to go back.
Jacob frowned. He wondered what she was going to do here.
Jacob quietly left the office. He walked to the stairwell and called Bridget. "Why don't you come to the company? Arya doesn't feel well."
Bridget told him that she would be right there.
Seeing that Bridget was going out, Daisy asked, "Where are you going?"
Bridget took her coat and said after a moment of thought, "Have supper with Jacob."
She knew Daisy wouldn't have a problem if she used Jacob as an excuse.
Sure enough, she said, "Hurry up. Don't be late."
Bridget left without saying anything more.
She changed her shoes at the door and went out.
When she arrived at the company, Jacob was standing at the elevator upstairs waiting for her.
