Thaddeus got the news and felt a rush of adrenaline, heading straight for the police station.


    Outside the interrogation room, Evadne and Aaron had been waiting for him for a while.


    "Sorry, Evadne, I''mte," Thaddeus apologized immediately, catching his breath.


    A perfect example of a gentleman.


    "It''s okay, I was worried you might rush and have an ident on the way," Evadne quickly stepped forward and used her sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead.


    Thaddeus firmly grabbed her wrist, gazing deeply into her eyes:


    "Evadne, I just met someone and have some good news for you!"


    Evadne''s eyes sparkled. "What good news?"


    "Business first," Thaddeus said fondly, gently tapping her nose with his finger.


    "Wayne will be here soon, and I''ll be interrogating him myself." After dragging on for so long, Aaron was thrilled about the breakthrough.


    "Aaron, watch how you speak."


    Evadne, always thoughtful, reminded him, "Wayne was high-ranking, your former boss. Even though he''s a criminal now, these types have pride in their bones- stubborn and arrogant.


    So, be polite, treat him with respect, lure him gently, don''t be too aggressive or put too much pressure on him."


    "If I didn''t know that, I''d have wasted all these years as a detective."


    Aaron gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "Don''t worry, leave it to me."


    With that, he pushed the door open and entered.


    The door closed, and Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy shared a knowing look, Thaddeus''s gaze filled with confusion:


    "What exactly happened that made Wayne finally talk?"


    Evadne, as usual, fiddled with his hand, calloused yet graceful and long, as if it was her favorite toy:


    "Today, the legal head of the Chambers Group, Lawyer Lee, met with Wayne." He teased her, curling his finger, ying along:


    "I know."


    "Huh?"


    Evadne had a moment of rity, instantly catching on, "So, you met with Lawyer Lee in private?


    The good news you''re going to tell me... don''t tell me, you broke Lawyer Lee?!"


    Thaddeus''s eyebrows slightly furrowed, he chuckled and shook his head. "Evadne, must you be so smart? In front of you, I might as well be naked." "Giggle... To me, whether you''re clothed or not has long been no different."


    Evadne''s yful gaze turned slightly sultry as her delicate fingers traced circles over his firm abdomen through the crisp white shirt. "I know where you have moles, where you''re most sensitive, how many abs you have... I know all about you."


    In public, and in the police station no less, thedy was speaking so boldly without a blush!


    "Evadne, this is the police station." Thaddeus''s voice was deep, his arm wrapping around her slender waist.


    "So what, we''re an old married couple... stop ying the saint." Evadne pouted, feigning injury.


    "ying the saint?"


    He couldn''t help but chuckle, his lips brushing against her earlobe, whispering, "I


    just regret, at this very moment, that I can''t take you right now."


    Evadne looked up into his eyes, her face flushed and stunningly beautiful.


    ...


    Inside the interrogation room, besides the running camera recording everything, there were only Aaron and Wayne.


    "You can start now." Aaron''s tone was gentle, making a weing gesture.


    "Aaron, I must have disappointed you, huh?" Wayne, handcuffed, leaned back, his body weary, his gaze filled with mncholy.


    "Do you want the truth? Yes." Aaron''s response was straightforward.


    Wayne closed his eyes, smiling with a detached eptance:


    "I like your answer; I appreciate your honesty."


    "When I was awarded first and second-ss merits, it was you who personally presented me with the medals. I still remember, you told me to keep justice in my heart, to eliminate evil and promote good, to be a good policeman serving the people."
