At the Steward Group.
Clarence strode towards the elevator and said, âTell Donald Shawn to see Channing and send someone to the hospital to ensure Chassell Barret is alive.â
Nathan Lance was following him and he just kept nodding.
Standing before the elevator, Clarence said in a cold voice, âMost importantly, all relevant information online should be blocked. Donât let any videos, photos come out. I donât want Stella to know it.â
Nathan said, âMr. Conrad, before Channing called you, the thing has already gone viral online. It happened during the lunchtime and a lot pf people witnessed it on spot. They had taken a lot of videos which are now widely spread online ...â
Itâs really difficult to prevent people from knowing it.
Clarence said in a low voice, âDo it at any cost.â
The moment he received the call from Channing, he knew something was wrong.
Chassell might be the only man who was able to provoke Channing to commit a crime.
Therefore, after the call to the police office, he instantly sent Nathan to get the information of Chassell.
And apparently, he had managed to get out of the jail.
On the way to the police office, Clarence sat on the back seat with a cold face, while Nathan was busy in dealing with the information online and giving phone calls.
But the thing just came in such an overwhelming way. It made its way to the twitter trends for several times before it was removed instantly.
Nathan turned back to say, âMr. Conrad, I had just received an analysis. It says apart from normal internet users, there is also someone behind who kept putting the thing under the spotlight. So ...â
It just kept receiving more and more public attention on the Internet.
Clarence opened his eyes and said in a calm voice, âWho do you think is behind it?â
Nathan fell into silence. He knew the answer, but he dared not reply.
It had just happened and they had informed all major media to block relevant information.
But the situation kept going worse.
There must be someone behind it.
And given that the one behind it knew it was Clarence who was trying to block any relevant information, he kept polarizing the discussion online. So, it must be someone as wealthy and powerful as Clarence.
And he was against Clarence, obviously.
Therefore, in City N, there was only one possibility.
Clarence said, âStella has mentioned a name. You approach her and give her all the documents regarding the New Coast Project to her.â
Nathan said with his eyes wide open, âMr. Conrad ...â
âBefore you gave those materials to her, you should make it clear whether she dares to make it public or not. If she dares not, we will find someone else.â
Nathan still got much to say. But seeing Clarence closed his eyes again, he could only remain silent.
They had not made enough preparation for the case of the project. And they had not collected enough crucial evidence for it.
He knew Clarence would never start a war without preparation.
If the situation got worse, the other side may shift the blame to them.
Now itâs a real life-or-death problem.
When Clarence arrived the police office, he saw Winnie also waiting there.
Clarence looked and said, âWhere is Channing?â
Winnieâs face was quite pale. She felt as if she could collapse at any moment. She said in a hoarse voice, âHe is still in the interrogation room.â
Clarence turned to her, âHas Chassell Barret ever tried to approach you?â
Winnie shook her head before she nodded. She finally opened her mouth worriedly, âHe has never approached me. But in the morning, he sent a few photos to me and asked me to meet him. I thought he was just trying to threaten me for money. But when I arrived the place he mentioned, he was not there. And then I felt I was trapped and got to Channingâs college.â
Clarence asked, âWhat photos?â
Suddenly Winnieâs face became paler. Her lips quivered but she did not utter a single sound. She felt cold all over her body, and as though her blood were frozen.
Clarence looked away, âYou should know that Channing has met Chassell for several times. But then he only gave him a few punches. Maybe those photos can explain why this time he beat him to death.â
Although she knew that since Chassell had used those photos to threaten her, he must had shown them to Channing, Winnie was still taken aback by Clarenceâs words. She felt as though she were immersed in freezing water and as if she were taken by the throat and thus became breathless.
Soon, Donald Shawn came.
Noticing Clarenceâs presence, he was intended to tell some jokes. But the depressive atmosphere in the hall made him remain silent.
The situation seemed to be worse than he had imagined.
Donald coughed to break the silence, âYou looked quite concerned. Donât bother. I will get in to have a talk with him. At least we can know what happened.â
Clarence agreed and walked directly into the chiefâs office to discuss with him the bail of Channing.
While in the interrogation room, Channing confessed the crime he committed.
But no matter how the police officer asked him why he would beat Chassell, he just kept silent.
And Donald also failed to get any relevant information from the police man as he came here.
In the interrogation room, Donald sat opposite to Channing and said, âDo you remember me? My name is Donald Shawn. And Iâm also your lawyer now.â
Channing looked at him and nodded slightly.
Donald said again, âCan you tell me why you beat him?â

Channing remained silent.
Donald continued, âYou need to tell me what happened so that I could defend you. You really want to go into the prison? You should think of Stella.
And Winnie is also waiting for you outside. I can guess what kind of relationship between you and her is.â
Donald continued, âDonât worry. I am your lawyer and our conversation will be kept secret. Even Mr. Conrad would not know what we said to each other. Thatâs my duty as a lawyer.â
Channing bit his lips softly.
Then after quite a while, he finally said, âI want an ashtray and a lighter.â
Donald nodded and walked out to fetch the things he asked.
Before Donald gave cigarette to him, Channing had already taken out a stack of photos and had them burnt without letting Donald see them.
Donald frowned. He could only see the back of those photos. Before he could say anything, Channing opened his mouth, âChassell Barret is Winnieâs ex-boyfriend. He used those photos to threaten and humiliate me. So, I couldnât refrain myself from beating him.â
Donald stood up promptly, only to see the last photo get burnt. He was hence seized by a sudden sense of anxiety, âSo the photos ... Do you know that the photos can serve as crucial evidence in court to win the lawsuit?â
Channing said, âSo what?â
He lowered his head and put on a sneer on his face, âSo you want me to hand those photos over to the prosecutor or the judge for the freedom of myself?â
Donald was silent.
He was indeed a determined boy.
Maybe thatâs why Clarence looked so worried. It must be a case difficult to handle.
