Chapter 1351 A Change In The Plan (1/2)

The trauma of Cherish's abduction had barely passed, while Nora's death had imposed a significant impact on Carlos. It seemed as if he had walled up his heart. He couldn't open up and share his pain even with Chuck or Leah. He had drifted further into his own despair.

Leah felt more and more dispirited every day. Even if Nora had been killed while saving her son, she still cursed Nora to never reincarnate, because it was due to Nora that Carlos had become so dejected.

In their efforts to arrest Darren as soon as possible and bring him to justice, Chuck was seldom at home. He was busy working together with Jacob in the quest to arrest Darren day and night.

But Darren was too sly. He had gone to ground, and there was no sign of him.

In the office of the Procuratorate of Jingshi City, Chuck was pacing back and forth while he worried about when Darren would be arrested. He had already lit up several cigarettes, one after another, as he smoked inside the hall, filling the space with a thick blue haze.

Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door. ”Come in, please.” Then, the person outside pushed the door open and walked in. It was Jacob.

As soon as Chuck saw Jacob, he quickly set his cigarette down and hastily made a cup of bamboo leaf tea for him.

”Why have you come here?” Chuck asked in a low voice. He hadn't eaten or slept well these past few days, because he had been occupied with Darren's arrest warrant, and Carlos's situation had also upset him. He had become exceedingly more haggard.

After entering the room, Jacob sat down on the sofa, elegantly crossed his legs, and accepted the bamboo leaf tea from Chuck. In a leisurely tone, he remarked, ”Ask the men you have dispatched in search for Darren to return. From today on, we will follow a more secret approach to catch him.”

”Then, it will be much more difficult to capture Darren, won't it?” Chuck feared that Darren would just play more tricks on them again. He could not help frowning upon hearing Jacob's order, because he didn't favor this idea at all.

”How's it working for you, trying to capture him with your men running around all over the city? Do you think you can arrest him this way?” Jacob queried with a frown. ”After committing his crimes, Darren still managed to escape to safety again. Is he such a fool that he will be waiting to be arrested?”

Chuck glumly shook his head. After Jacob's rebuke, he felt even more confused about what to do next.
