The Substitute Bride

Ferry's lawyer also came to the police station.

After being asked several questions, Ferry realized that he wasn't going to get out of this one.

"What? What did you say?" Ferry glared at his lawyer in disbelief.

The lawyer looked awkward as he glanced at the policeman guarding Ferry. Then he responded in a low voice, "The police were able to arrest you because they have irrefutable evidence against you. This isn't under the Public Security Bureau of the city anymore. This is going to the provincial bureau. No one can protect you anymore. If you admit your guilt, you can probably get a better deal and save your life."

"You want me to confess?" Ferry gritted his teeth as he stared at his lawyer.

"Think about it. You killed someone. No matter how much money you have, you're still going to spend the rest of your life in prison." The lawyer had no choice but to lay down the truth for Ferry upon seeing that he was getting violent.

"Tell the police chief to come here." Ferry was already panicking. He leaned against his chair to relieve his anxiety.

"Don't even think about it. Even the police chief can't save himself right now. He'll never admit that you two were on good terms. Oh, and there's one more thing that you probably don't know yet..." The lawyer looked at Ferry hesitantly as his voice trailed off.

Ferry didn't know how things could get worse than they already were.

"Say it. Why don't you want to say it? You didn't seem so hesitant when you were getting my money!" Ferry bellowed.

The lawyer flushed in embarrassment. He coughed before speaking. "The news of your arrest is everywhere. It's in newspapers, magazines, online...Everywhere. You've been mobilizing a gang, and that makes you a target, a target to be destroyed. You can't hide..."

Ferry became desperate. He didn't know what to do anymore.

He knew he couldn't do anything about his situation now. However, he couldn't help but wonder who was behind all of this.

"Can I see Hunter?" Ferry didn't want to see his lawyer anymore as he was only being reminded of all the terrible things that w

Ferry was already locked up, Charles was still a bit worried.

Charles had destroyed Ferry's power overnight. However, he still wasn't sure if Ferry had backup. A man like Ferry was sure to have hideouts and backup everywhere.

Charles' eyes were stone cold.

Ferry wasn't able to get a word out. He just sat in his chair, trembling in anger.

Charles didn't say more. He just wanted Ferry to remember that he could either die in prison or spend the rest of his life here peacefully if he stayed out of trouble.

After leaving the prison, Charles told David to send someone to keep an eye on Ferry. He had to make sure that Ferry wouldn't do anything.

"Mr. Lu, don't worry. I'm on top of it. Everything's fine. Nothing's going to happen." David looked at Charles to assure him. He knew what his boss was worried about, so he did his best to appease him.

"All right. Let's go back to the office."

In Shining Company

What had happened to Ferry was just gossip to everyone else. However, to Leila, it was a huge blow.

Leila didn't expect that Ferry would be so stupid as to be defeated by Charles.

While no one else knew that it was Charles who was behind Ferry's downfall, Leila wasn't stupid. She had a pretty good guess and even had proof to back it up. The project that the company had lost to Ferry was back in their hands as if nothing had happened. Wasn't that enough proof?
