Chapter 409 Things Get Complicated

Upon seeing these two badges, some onlookers among the crowd recognized them and gasped in surprise. No wonder they were acting so arrogantly. Not only did these two individuals come from influential families, but they were also government officials, and part of specialized departments.

Harleen and Felicia hadn't expected these two to have such backgrounds.

"What do you think? Can you go with us now?" Jay White spoke again.

"You think having these badges makes you invincible? You're abusing your authority! I'll report you to your superiors, and you..." Sharon shouted loudly.

"If you utter one more word, do you believe I'll take all three of you with us?" the woman said coldly.

"You..." Sharon shouted again.

"Mom!" Harleen stopped her and then looked at the two of them. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Are you leaving or not?" the woman retorted.

"You will regret this!" Harleen took a deep breath and turned to Sharon. "Mom, you and Dad take Tasha and go find Billy! We'll go with them!" "Mama, don't go. I don't want you to leave." Tasha cried.

"Tasha, honey, it's okay. Mom will be back soon." Harleen walked over and patted Tasha's head. "Tasha, you're the bravest, aren't you?" "Which one of you is going to answer the phone?" At this moment, Fletcher picked up his phone and walked over, looking at the two of them.

The woman raised her hand and a gust of wind knocked Fletcher's phone to the ground, shattering it into pieces.

"No matter who you bring to negotiate, it won't work. If they have the guts, let them go to the Special Patrol Division in Leford to fetch them!" "You..." Fletcher was trembling with anger.

"Take them away!" the woman said before getting into the car.

Two minutes later, Harleen and Felicia were taken into the Rolls-Royce, and the driver reversed the car and drove away.

Rewind to half an hour ago.

Billy and Stout drove to the SHADOW base in Leford and saw a crowd of people in the courtyard, all of them agitated. SHADOW Inspector in this area, Liam Anderson was talking to Jackson Bennett, the head of the Bennett family.

"Commander?" Liam Anderson saw Billy out of the corner of his eye and was stunned for a moment. Then, he quickly led a group of SHADOW men over and saluted. "Greetings, Commander!" "Hmm," Billy nodded slightly.

"Commander, how did you come to Leford?" Liam Anderson asked.

"My family and I came here for a vacation. I just received a call from Judge saying that there's an issue here, so I came to take a look." Billy explained.

"May I ask if you are Commander Gardner?" Jackson Bennett approached cautiously.

He didn't recognize Billy, but he guessed from Liam Anderson's address who he might be.

"What's going on here?" Billy asked.

After receiving his tacit approval, Jackson Bennett immediately knelt down, and the rest of his family followed suit.

"Please, Commander Gardner, please help us!" Jackson Bennett begged while bowing. As he spoke, a glimmer of hope appeared in his heart. He hadn't expected to encounter the legendary figure here today! Commander Gardner was said to be the linchpin of the country, devoted to the well-being of the people. Therefore, Billy was Jackson Bennett's hope.

"Get up, all of you!" Billy raised his hand and said. "Let's go inside and talk."

A few minutes later, Liam Anderson led Billy and Jackson Bennett to a sitting room.

"Mr Bennett, please explain the situation to Commander in detail." Liam Anderson said as he poured tea for them.

"Thank you, Inspector Anderson." Jackson Bennett said, taking the tea and then turning to Billy. "Three days ago, Inspector Jay White from the Special Patrol Division of Leford, accompanied by a group of his men, came to my family's estate and demanded my father's arrest without any explanation. My father tried to negotiate with them and asked why they were doing this, but they refused to provide any information and simply claimed that my father was involved in a major case and needed to assist with the investigation."

"Later, there was a confrontation between both sides, resulting in more than twenty casualties from my family, including my father, who was forcibly taken away."

"We still don't know why they arrested my father or what the reasons behind it are."

"The Special Patrol Division wouldn't arrest your father without reason." Billy furrowed his brow slightly and continued, "Has he been involved in any incidents recently?" sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"No!" Jackson Bennett shook his head firmly. "I can guarantee with my life that he hasn't! Otherwise, we wouldn't have come to request SHADOW's help!"

"What's Jay White's background?" Billy asked Liam Anderson.

"Commander, Jay White is the eldest son of the White family, the second-largest family in the city." Liam Anderson explained.

"Do your family and the White family have any conflicts?" Billy nodded slightly and then asked Jackson Bennett.

"We have had some business-related conflicts with them, but they've been ongoing for decades, and there haven't been any major incidents recently. It shouldn't be the cause." Jackson Bennett replied. "Commander Gardner, Mr Bennett's father once worked at the capital's Special Patrol Office. He resigned and returned to his hometown ten years ago due to health issues." Liam Anderson added. "Hmm?" Billy raised an eyebrow. "He worked at the Special Patrol Office?"

"Yes, Commander Gardner. My father worked in the archives department of the Special Patrol Office."

"Oh?" Billy nodded thoughtfully. While he wasn't particularly familiar with the Special Patrol Office's operations, he had heard General Wilson mention its organizational structure before. The archives department of the Special Patrol Office had three sections, and the first section contained files rated as S-level or higher in terms of confidentiality.

"Did your father ever mention anything about his work at the Special Patrol Office to your family?" Billy asked, contemplating the matter.

"Not often," Jackson Bennett replied with a slight shake of his head. "The work at the Special Patrol Office is quite unique, especially in the archives department. Most of it involves highly classified content, so my father rarely talked to us about it."

This was a common practice in many specialized government departments. Many high-security positions required employees to sign lifetime confidentiality agreements. Regardless of whether they were still in service or not, they were bound to a lifetime of secrecy. Any breach of national security was considered a serious crime.

"Commander Gardner, do you suspect that they arrested my father due to something related to his work at the Special Patrol Division?" Jackson Bennett asked. "But I understand my father well, Commander Gardner. He would never leak any secrets from the Special Patrol Office."

"Not about leaking any secrets." Billy shook his head slightly.

"Then what's the reason?"

"Perhaps your father has seen something someone didn't want him to see." Billy replied thoughtfully.

"Hum?"

"Commander Gardner, if that's the case, I remembered something!" Jackson Bennett said.
