Chapter 716

“Il ... I'l open the door for you."

Juanita hurriedly followed him, opened the car door and helped him in.

She then got into the driver's seat and started the car.

On the way, Karl's eyes looked fixedly out of the car window. He did not

say a word, as if he was immersed in his sadness and melancholy

entirely.

The view outside the window was nothing to him.

The golden sunrise shone through the glass, reflecting on his

handsome face.

After a long time, it was Juanita who broke the silence first.

She felt that she was thick-skinned enough. Were it any other girl, after

what happened last night, they would certainly feel so embarrassed,

and she ...

"Still no progress in the search?" She asked about Joyce, which was

her main concern.

"Hmm."

Only one syllable came out of Karl's throat.

Then they stopped talking again.

Juanita only had to ask again, "You're going back to the Capital, to the

Central Prosecutor's Office.”

“Is it ..." She hesitated for a moment before asking, “for Joyce?"

There was finally something on Karl's silent, handsome face. He slowly

turned sideways and looked at Juanita in surprise. She knew so much

about him.

He graduated from the law school at the Capital with a master's degree

and was going to work for the Central Prosecutor's Office, but he didn't

want to stay at the Capital because his parents were pushing him to get

married and he couldn't stand it.

He ran to Khebury alone and became a detective, who could focus

solely on solving crimes.

Until Joyce came along and broke it all.

"Yes."

"You don't mind?" He asked.

Juanita must have known that he had a crush on Joyce in his heart and

he didn't hide it in front of her.

Now that he'd had sex with Juanita. She really did not mind it, at all?

"Mind? Why should I mind?" Juanita pointed at her eyes, "These days,

my eyes have been swollen from crying every day. Joyce is my best

friend.”

“I went to the police station every day to look for you just to know the

latest progress, but they would not let me in.”

“No matter what I said, they just wouldn't.”

“I had to wait for the news broadcast every day.”

“But time and time again, all I got was disappointment.”

"I don’t know whether she is alive or not even now."

After saying that, her nose went sore and she couldn't help the tears

from sliding down again.

Karl sighed slightly, drew some tissues and handed them to her.

"Perhaps she was rescued by someone else.”

“Or I'm just incompetent and haven't found her yet."

He said in a cold voice.

"She was saved by someone else? Could something like that happen?"

Juanita questioned.

"l don't know."

He took a deep breath and shook his head feebly, unable to hide his

heartache.

"So, is there any particular reason why you want to go back to the

Capital?" Juanita asked again.

"Joyce is being chased by Ricky."

“After Ricky's death, jurisdiction over the case was turned over to a

martial court.”

“As a local police department, it has no authority to interfere with the

internal affairs of the military.”

“The only authority in the country that has the right to intervene in

military investigations is the Special Investigation Division of the Central

Public Prosecutor's Office.”

“I'm going there, and there are still a lot of unanswered questions."

He said, and his eyes suddenly became dull. She could feel the chilling

and dangerous bursts of anger from his eyes.

"I will never spare Charlotte, and I will make her pay with blood!"
