Chapter 1054
Chapter 1054 The Mastermind Was Allison Tanner
In A City.
After getting to the airport in Moscow, Luke and Percy flew back hsince they did not gain any information from their search on the Island of Despair. It was already midnight when they got down from the plane.
Percy knew Luke was having a hard tand tapped on his shoulder while saying, "Ray will constantly keep his eye on the Island of Despair. He’ll notify us once there's news. While on my end, my underlings will continue the search." "Alright." Luke showed a cold expression. Regardless of everything, he would not give up the search. He carried his luggage, and along with Percy, they left the airport but through different exits.
Luke turned on his phone and noticed he had tens of missed calls. They were all from Gordon. He called Gordon back.
The call went through and Gordon asked, "You finally calledback." "What's up?" Luke dragged his luggage and headed out of the airport's exit.
"I know you're busy looking for Bianca but we have snew progress on the investigation regarding the issue here. I've also caught the person who trespassed the manor. Do you want to settle this issue first? I can bring this person to your villa." Gordon glanced at Jon, who was tied up on a chair. He had exerted a lot of strength to find him and capture him back. After just ten minutes, Jon ended up giving in to Gordon's intense interrogation and blurted out the entire incident.
'Til head over there now,” said Luke determinedly. He did not expect Gordon to find the culprit. 'This incident should cto an end now. I have to use all the tI can spare to look for Bianca.'
Sean drove the car to his front and got down from it. He took the luggage and said politely, "Please enter the car, sir."
Luke said, "Letdrive. You can take a cab back home." "Yes, sir." Sean handed the car key to Luke with both his hands.
Luke drove the car to the hotel. He could not head up to the room as he did not have the room key. Vivian was waiting for him downstairs. Seeing him made her ask, "Brother, any news about Bianca?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was worried about Bianca but Gordon had told her she was not allowed to disturb Luke during this period. Hence, she could only seize this opportunity to ask about it.
Luke shook his head with a cold expression.
Vivian covered her mouth and noticed that bringing up this topic would only make Luke sad. "I'm sorry, Brother." "It's alright." Luke knew she only asked about it because she was worried about Bianca.
Both of them headed upstairs and opened the door of the room, only to see Gordon sitting on the sofa. He was playing with a knife in his hand and waving it at Jon, who was tied up on a chair.
He was playing with the knife with his agile fingers, terrifying Jon. He was afraid that the next second, the knife would end up in his head.
Gordon smirked when he heard the sound of the door opening and brought the knife closer to Jon's face, tapping it. ’Repeat whatever you said earlier to my brother here."
Jon trembled as he glanced at Luke's cold expression, obediently recounting the entire incident.
When Luke heard that Allison was the mastermind, his face did not reveal too big of an expression. He said coldly, "Hand her to the police." "You're not going to handle it privately?" Gordon got up and asked. After all, even though Allison was the mastermind of this incident, she was Luke's biological mother.
It would be chaotic if the police exposed it to the public.
'Family members stealing from their own? Others will find it hilarious if the news is leaked. If Luke wants to, he can surely find a better way to deal with this matter.' "I have no tto handle this incident. Let the police deal with it formally,"
Luke repeated once again.
After Allison made up her mind to steal the old master's antiques, she should have known about the consequences and thought about getting arrested by the police. Luke would not hesitate to make a move just because she was his biological mother.
Gordon snorted. 'Just how bad is the relationship between this pair of mother and son that he's this cold-blooded?' "Call the police, Faceless," he ordered.
Vivian did not agree with this decision, but seeing that they had made up their mind, she did not express her opinion and took out her phone to make a report to the police.
While listening to her conversing with the police, Gordon voiced out, "You look rather tired. Do you want to head back to get srest?”
Til wait here for the police." Luke sat on the sofa and looked at Jon.
Jon was panicking from being stared at. His eyes kept shifting about, and he looked as though he had ill intentions.
Gordon kicked the chair and warned him, "Don’t think of pulling a trick on us. Or else, you'll end up dead without realizing how."
After suspecting that Allison was the mastermind of the robbery, he had been constantly keeping an eye on her and keeping track of her.
However, Allison was being very cautious. She almost never stepped foot out of her villa. The more she acted like this, the more suspicious she was.
Finally, Gordon received a call from the security guard one day, saying that Allison had driven her car and left the villa.
He immediately started his car and followed her. Much earlier on, when he was replacing the dashcam, he had installed a tracking device on the car as well. He then managed to follow her all the way to the neighboring city, where he saw Allison meeting up with Jon.
That man's height and silhouette were very similar to the man in the surveillance footage. Gordon's instinct told him that this man was the one who intruded the house to steal the antiques.
Gordon waited until Allison left before heading over to catch that man.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLooking at the cash in the house, Gordon used his own way of doing things to make Jon spit out the entire incident.
Gordon used his phone to record everything that Jon said. Then, he tied him up and brought him back to A City.
After waiting for 20 minutes, the head of the police department brought his men to the hotel.
Gordon handed the culprit and recordings over to the police. Then, he took out a huge stack of cash from his pocket. "The culprit and evidence have been handed to you." "These are?" The head of the police department looked at the huge stack of cash and was dumbfounded. ’Didn't Old Master Crawford lose his antiques? Why is this man givinga stack of cash?' "Cash. The encryptions are all in series. You just have to bring this to the bank and you'll know the bills were withdrawn by Mrs. Tanner," Gordon explained.
"Sure, sure. We know what to do next." The head of the police department put on a pair of gloves and immediately took the cash.
"We'll bring this man back first, Mr. Crawford. Is that alright?" asked the head of the police department. They had never given up on the investigation but the difficulty of this case made them all lose their heads. They did not make the slightest progress at all.
When they received the report, they thought their colleagues from the international organization were pulling a prank on them out of boredom. It was only when Vivian notified them that Luke was also at the scene that the staff in the hotline center started taking it more seriously.
The head of the police department did not delay things for even a second and immediately brought his men to the scene. Never would he expect that the mastermind was Luke's biological mother, Allison Tanner. He had no idea how he should proceed with this case now.
"Just handle it according to the standard procedures." Luke put on a cold expression and lit a cigarette.
"Alright!" The head of the police department immediately ordered his subordinates to bring the man away after hearing the reply.
After the police brought Jon away, Luke got up and was planning to leave.
Gordon asked, "Did you head over to the Island of Despair today? Did you find anything?" "Nope," Luke said, his face turning darker.
"I've extended my visa. I'm planning to stay back to help you look for Bianca," said Gordon. Initially, he thought that he could return hafter he managed to look for the culprit responsible for the robbery. He never expected Bianca to be kidnapped.
He planned to stay back and help Luke search for Bianca.
