Chapter 1532 Send The Letter (2/2)
Hearing his boss's exasperated tone, Harlan's expression turned serious too. He walked over to Darren and replied in a whisper, ”Something else must have happened, though I'm not sure what. My people have assured me that there wouldn't be any problem with her release.”
They had arranged for someone else to take the blame for the crime. They had been promised that Bonnie would be the one to come out of the interrogation room. There shouldn't have been any problem. Perhaps something unexpected had happened in the police station that had resulted in a delay in Bonnie's release.
When Harlan finished his explanation, Darren didn't say anything. However, he was s
that Darren was already in a temper, Harlan didn't dare to speak. He was afraid that Darren might take out his anger on him. However, he did have a good plan in mind but he wasn't sure if it was the right time to share it with him or not.
Darren and Harlan had worked together for many years. They both knew each other very well. After all, it was impossible not to get to know each other after all those years.
Darren muttered between his teeth, ”If you have an idea, just say it.”
Harlan couldn't help the gentle smile that grew on his lips when he heard Darren say that. He cleared his throat and replied, ”We might not be able to do anything to Jacob at this time. However, I believe that we can do something to the people close to him. For example, his wife, Emily Bai!”
Darren frowned when he heard Harlan's plan and thought to himself, 'What kind of idea is that? I am a man of honor. If I do something despicable to her, even if I won in the end, it would be disgraceful!'
After a long, awkward silence between them, Harlan realized that perhaps his boss might have misunderstood what he was implying. He put the phone closer to his mouth and quickly explained, ”I mean, Emily and Miss Sun are quite good friends. How about we tell Emily what Jacob has done to her friend?”
Wanting to take a breath, Harlan paused for a moment and continued, ”Our man was bribed. So, why don't we leave it to Emily to pressure Jacob? Saving Miss Sun by using Emily would be our best option right now. Even if it doesn't work, it would still strain Jacob's relationship with his wife. I'm sure it would trouble him and perhaps even distract him. Anyway, it's best to start with Emily right now.”
Even though he knew Harlan couldn't see him, Darren nodded instinctively. It wasn't that important for him to cause trouble for Jacob. His priority was to save Bonnie from unnecessary suffering. If he could save Bonnie through Emily, then he was willing to give it a try.
”Okay, proceed with that plan.”
