The True Lady Strikes Back by Susanna Lucius - Season 2 Episode 72

The man looked at the foot stepping on the back of his hand, listened to the sound of bones being

crushed, and shook his head in pain.

“I don’t know.”

He was just a nobody who happened to meet a slightly powerful superior.

The organization followed a strict discipline and hierarchical structure. Subordinates were not allowed

to talk about their superiors, and they could only meet their direct leaders.

They had no chance of meeting leaders who were higher up, let alone the highest leader.

Evan stepped harder and said in a cold voice, “You haven’t heard of anything at all?”

The man’s hand was completely crushed. He screamed endlessly in pain.

“No, I really haven’t.”

The tall and thin man next to him remembered something and said. hurriedly, “About three or four

years ago, there seems to have been a big change at the top level of the organization. Since then, the

overall style of the organization has changed.”

The change was not obvious, but it could be felt by people who had been. in the organization for a long

time.

The burly man, who was most wounded, couldn’t speak anymore and could only nod in agreement.

Cecilia was now sure that the incident three years ago was caused by the new leader and that it was

most likely Charlie.

This was because their purpose was obvious, and the Shaw family was their target.

Evan’s thoughts were the same as Cecilia’s. His hand tightened into a fist. He continued to interrogate

the remaining two men but found no useful information.

Before leaving, Christopher learned how they joined the organization and how they were trained.

To put it bluntly, the mastermind had found a group of outlaws,

brainwashed them, and turned them into skilled killers and strong fighters.

After coming out of the basement, Evan took a deep breath of fresh air, suppressing the frustration in

his heart.

He looked at Christopher and asked, “What do you plan to do with these people?”

“If we send them to the police station, they will only waste our nation’s resources, so I plan to dump

them straight to Yowhayton.”

Since the mastermind was based in Yowhayton, that would be a way to lure him out.

Evan nodded in agreement. “I’ll take care of it.”

He wanted to use his identity to send those five men back in a high–profile manner.

It was time for the mess in Yowhayton to be stirred up.

“Evan, we can send them whenever you’ve finished making the arrangements. Should we give them

medical treatment?”

“No. As long as they’re alive, that’s enough,” answered Evan.

Then Evan asked, “Are you guys coming back to the police station with me now, or will you be coming

over at four o’clock in the afternoon later?”

When he said this, he glanced at Cecilia and clearly had something to say to her.

Christopher had to attend an important meeting that should not be missed later.

“Evan, I’ll be there at four o’clock sharp,” he said.

Cecilia didn’t have anything on, so she went to the police station with Evan.

She let her bodyguard return to Emerald Mansion first and went in Evan’s car herself.

When the car left the street where the auction was held, Evan glanced at Cecilia and asked, “Do you

think it’s Charlie, too?”

When he said this, there was an indescribable sense of conflict in his

heart.

He hoped Charlie was alive, but at the same time, he also hoped that Charlie was not the mastermind.

Voucher:

Cecilia had no feelings for Charlie. Her thoughts would not be affected by her emotions, and she could

see things more objectively.

She nodded affirmatively. “The mastermind’s organization’s top managenient underwent changes three

or four years ago. At the same time, my team was set up and destroyed. It’s too much of a coincidence.

On top of that, they are targeting the Shaw family. Other than Charlie, I couldn’t think of anyone else.”

Hearing this, Evan tightened his hand holding the steering wheel until his knuckles turned white.

“If it’s really Charlie, he must have suffered a lot these years!”

“Yes, Charlie was a hostage used to threaten the Shaw family, but he was given up on. If he wanted to

survive, it was surely even harder than when I was in the assassin organization back then.”

These words stabbed Evan in the heart.

“Charlie was suffering for my sake. If-”

Before Evan could finish his words, Cecilia interrupted him, “Evan, you are a senior officer of the

Peacekeeping Forces and the leader of the special operations unit. If you can’t face the mastermind

calmly, I hope you quit.”

As a person who occupied a high position, he could not afford to make any mistakes, or else it might

lead to the deaths of his innocent subordinates.

Evan wasn’t angry and did not think Cecilia was being cold, as he knew she was right.

“Ceci, don’t worry. I will always remember my identity and mission.” Cecilia knew the temperament of

the Shaw family. They always put their country before their family.

If it was in ancient times, they would have been generals who defended their homeland with dedication,

adhering to the principle that they would rather be let down by others than be the ones who let down.

others.

The seriousness on her face disappeared and she said softly, “Evan, if Charlie is still alive, I promise to

try my best to save him while keeping to my principles.”

Whatever she owed to the Shaw family, she would pay back through Charlie.

The car stopped at the intersection because of a red light. Evan looked at Cecilia.

“Ceci, you can save Charlie, but don’t risk your own life. You are equally important to the Shaw family.”

Actually, he wished Cecilia would stay out of it, but he knew she wouldn’t listen to him, so he didn’t

bother wasting his breath.

“I will do what I can. Should we tell Aiden and Grandma Elaine that Charlie may be alive?”

“Aiden is more sensitive than us. I think he has guessed it. Let’s not tell Grandma Elaine for the time

being and wait until we’ve confirmed it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the red light turned green, and the car drove away.

When they arrived at the police station, it was not yet 2 p.m., and no delay was caused in the selection

of the members of the special operations unit.

Evan took Cecilia to the conference room and asked her to be his deputy, accompanying him in the

selection.

Several members of the criminal investigation division were among those initially selected.

They used to follow the orders of Cecilia and once performed a major arrest near Quilton University.

In fact, back then, if it was not for the police chief holding them in line, they wouldn’t have listened to a

young lady.

Although the result was satisfactory, they didn’t approve of Cecilia. They believed that she just

happened to be lucky because of her familiarity with the area.

Now, seeing that she, a non–staff member, was selecting members of the team, they were naturally not

convinced.

This was because the first condition of being selected as a member of the special operations unit was

that one had to be a good fighter,

Seeing the young lady’s slender arms and legs, they figured even if she had some skills, she couldn’t

have been much good.

At this thought, someone said openly, “I heard that the special operations unit will be involved in a top–

secret operation in the future. It’s not appropriate for Ms. Yancey to be here, is it?”

Evan looked at the man who spoke, his eyes darkening.

In his opinion, obedience to the orders of one’s superior was more important than anything else, but

this man was questioning him.

He found the man’s details. Although his background looked great, Evan would not keep him.

“Ms. Yancey was chosen by me personally. If you’re not convinced of her abilities, you can fight with

her. If you win, you stay, and she leaves.”

Cecilia was speechless.

“Why is Evan getting more and more cunning? Clearly, he doesn’t want this man, but he wants to use

me to drive him away?” she thought.

All the same, she didn’t refuse and asked Evan, “What if I win?”

“Then, of course, you stay, and he leaves.”

“That’s not fair. I’m already a member of the team. After winning, nothing changes for me, and I don’t

get any extra reward. Wouldn’t my efforts be in vain?”

Hearing this, the members of the criminal investigation division couldn’t help laughing.

“Even if he offers you a bunch of extra rewards, you won’t win!”

As the man said this, he confidently showed off his huge biceps.
