Over at Jaredâs place.
Faced with surveillance videos, recordings, analysis reports, and the testimony of a few criminals, he was already balking under the strain.
He remained silent and kept mentally preparing himself.
He couldnât admit it.
He still had one last trump card.
He had evidence of Lee murdering someone.
Trevor was on such good terms with Preston now.
He figured that as long as Trevor get moving and Preston withdrew the lawsuit, he would be fine.
Thinking about it, he said, âOfficer, I want to see Trevor Stinson.â Police told Jared sternly that it didnât matter if he didnât admit it at the moment.
They would continue to investigate and collect evidence.
During this process, Jared was not allowed to meet anyone.
He would be arranged to meet his lawyer later.
Jared rolled his eyes and said, âOfficer, Trevor can.
prove that I didnât order those people to kill Preston.â âOkay, weâll take Trevor Stinsonâs statement,â the police officer said.
Whether it was taking statements or collecting evidence, they couldnât possibly give Jared any chance of manipulating testimonies.
Jared rolled his eyes again.
âOfficer, I want to see my assistant.
I need him to hire a lawyer for me.
I need the best lawyer.â The police then solemnly told Jared that his assistant was an accomplice and had confessed.
Jared was baffled.
His eyes flickered as he asked to see his son, Adam.
He needed Adam to help him hire a lawyer.
He was rejected again.
Jared cursed deep down.
He could only look for Trevor when he went through the procedure and arranged for a lawyer to meet with him.
The police got Trevor.
They asked him to take a statement.
The police also explained the reasons, and Jared said he could prove that he did not try to murder Preston.
âI canât prove that I didnât cross paths with Jared,â Trevor said.
He knew why Jared looked for him.
Jared wanted to use the video of his father killing Yechiel and Lily to threaten him.
He wasnât about to fall for it again.
At that time, Jared had used a video to exchange for his life.
After that, he discussed this matter with Julian and Anna.
Throughout the night, they tracked Jaredâs phone to Jaredâs private computer and stole all of Jaredâs private accounts.
After looking at Jaredâs computer, they tracked Jaredâs actions in backing up the video in his personal cloud and computer.
Nowadays, many people have the habit of backing up the documents they need on the cloud because the cloud can be used at any time, both through cell phones and computers.
At that time, they carefully searched for traces of Jaredâs computer use.
After confirming that Jared had backed up to his computer and cloud, they immediately performed a crushing cleanup of the video.
After that, he casually placed another video at the location where Jaredâs original video had been backed up.
Jared named this video âTrump cardâ.
After they played the video, they also named it by the same name.
As long as one did not click on it, one would not notice that the video had been replaced.
Trevor wanted to see Jared after taking his statement.
He knew that he definitely wouldnât be able to see Jared through normal means.
Therefore, he pulled some strings.
His situation was different from Jaredâs.
Access to Jared was completely restricted.
Firstly, Jared was a criminal suspect.
Secondly, Preston had mobilized their connections and did not allow Jared any chance to interact with outsiders.
It was easier for Trevor to see Jared.
After taking his statement, he only waited for half an hour before meeting Jared.
Seeing that Trevor had come to see him, Jared immediately felt energized.
He knew that with the trump card of Leeâs killing, Trevor would definitely think of a way to protect him.
The police prepared a separate room for Trevor.
After bringing Jared over, they left the two alone.
As soon as the police left, Jared crossed his legs on the couch.
He looked at Trevor and waited for Trevor to speak first so that he could make conditions.
âI heard that you wanted to see me?â Trevor spoke first.
His tone was cold.
Jared smiled.
âThatâs right.â âWhat is it?â Trevor pretended not to know.
The smile on Jaredâs lips deepened.
His tone was a rhetorical question.
âDo you really not know?â âI really donât know.â Trevor looked serious.
Jared glanced at Trevor and stopped beating around the bush.
He said, âYouâre really smart.
You tricked me back then.â âI donât know what youâre talking about.â Trevor sat on the other couch and leaned back slightly.
Jared wasnât even anxious to face imprisonment, so Trevor figured that there was no need for him to get anxious.
Jared felt uncomfortable when he saw Trevorâs relaxed expression.
He said, âLeeâs biological son, but still pretended to have nothing to do with Lee.
Fortunately, I was smart back then and backed up the video of your father killing someoneâ¦â At this point, he raised his eyebrows proudly and looked at Trevor, as if everything was under his control.
Then, he said, âThe heavens are kind enough to have me make a backup in time.
Otherwise, you guys are planning to work together to get rid of me this time, right?â Trevor glanced at Jared but still did not speak.
Jared was a little smug.
He raised his conditions.
âTrevor, I donât care how you persuade Preston.
I only have one request.
Tell him to withdraw the lawsuit.
This matter ends here.â Trevor looked at Jared in amusement.
âIf youâre so capable, why donât you guess why I came to see you?â Jared felt confident as he said âOf course itâs for the video.
Trevor, letâs not beat around the bush.
As long as you convince Preston to withdraw the lawsuit, this matter will end here.
Iâll return the complete video to you.â Trevor sneered.
âIf I remember correctly, you said the same thing last time.â Jared did not feel guilty at all.
Instead, he remained smug.
âDonât worry.
This time, Iâll give you my phone, computer, and all my private electronic stuff.â âIf you have burned a disc and backed up a hard drive, the next time you go kill someone, youâll threaten me with the same thing, no?â Trevor looked at Jared in amusement.
âThere wonât be a next time!â He wasnât an idiot.
He wouldnât get himself so close to getting imprisoned next time.
He would only have Preston dead through and through.
âThere wonât be a next time.
Becauseâ¦â Trevor paused slightly.
Jared looked at Trevor in surprise.
The corners of Trevorâs lips curled up coldly as he said, âBecause this time, you will pay the price.â
âWhat are you gonna do?â Jared looked at Trevor warily.
Trevorâs expression was indifferent.
âItâs not that Iâm gonna do anything, but everyone has to be responsible for their actions.
Itâs only right and proper to repay a life debt with a life!â Jared frowned.
âYou mean you donât want the video anymore?â Trevor looked at Jared as if the man was a retard and said, âOne of your videos is stored on a cloud, and the other is stored in a computer folder, right?â
Jaredâs eyes suddenly widened as he looked at Trevor in disbelief.
âWhat did you do?â
