The slim man shook his head and said, âThere are too many bodyguards. They obstructed my view. I couldnât see clearly.â
The slightly chubby man took a deep breath and said, âLooks like Iâll have to ask my cousin for help.â
With that, he took out his phone and made a call.
Meanwhile, Heraâs Maserati drove away with Nash looking out the window and scanning the area with his Third Eye. He spotted several
suspicious cars but could not confirm if they were Duncanâs
arrangement. They were definitely connected to Kaiâs accident,
though.
âWhy isnât Melody coming back with us?â Hera asked while driving.
âThereâs not enough room, see?â Nash replied with a smile.
âCanât we squeeze a bit? We should be able to fit five people.â Heral
pouted.
âYour mom and I wouldâve taken a taxi back if we had known. Our
place isnât along your route anyway,â Harrison said with a tinge of self-
blame.
âMom, Dad, itâs okay. Melody has other things to attend to,â Nash
reassured the couple.
It was not exactly reassuring either since Melody indeed had a task to fulfill, which was to secretly get Kai back to Royal Bay Villa without
anyone noticing.
As for how she was going to do that, Nash left it for Melody to figure
out.
In less than ten minutes, they got stuck in traffic.
âToday is Thursday, and thereâs a traffic jam? Is there some big
shopping mall event or something 2â³ Lauren asked as she curiously looked at the line of cars outside.
Harrison shook his head. âHow would I know?â
Nash opened the sunroof and stood up to take a look ahead. He noticed there was a vehicle inspection checkpoint in front. The Watson familyâs convoy was undergoing inspection at the moment.
The inspection officer politely said, âMr. Watson, this is just a routine check. Please bear with us.â
Walter kept his eyes closed and did not respond. The others in the car also had sorrowful expressions on their faces.
Seeing this, the inspection officer did not dare say more. After checking the trunk, he immediately cleared the way.
After inspecting all 12 vehicles, the group of inspection officers could not help but wipe their foreheads. After all, the passengers in these.
cars included the wealthiest man in Jonford, Walter.
With his various titles in the Political Consultative Conference, he
could easily jeopardize their future with just a few words if they were
to offend him.
The leader of the inspection team calmly said, âCheck a few more
cars at random and then disband.â
Just as he said this, his phone rang again. He took out his phone and coldly demanded, âWhat now?â
âCousin, please check one more car. A red Maserati with the license. plate ending in 666.â
The voice on the other end of the phone sounded obsequious, and the leader snorted. âThis wonât become a precedent.â
He had no choice but to agree to the request since his cousin made a lot of money and generously showered his parents with gifts on holidays. It was only a small favor, so it was hard for him to refuse.
Soon, Heraâs car came into view. He immediately stood up and signaled for the car to stop. Raising his hand in salute, he said, âHello, this is a routine inspection. Please show us your driverâs ID, driverâs license, and vehicle registration.â
Hera obediently took out the three documents from her bag. After
inspecting them, the man looked into the car. When his gaze met Nashâs, he noticed a meaningful look in Nashâs eyes.
The man smiled slightly and said, âPlease open the trunk.â
