Chapter 50

“Elijah has already admitted to the reporters personally that Alice hit Old Mrs. Woland, so do you thinkwe’d be able to explain this matter?”

Sam felt that Caleb must be out of his mind.

“Even if you come out and clarified the situation, Old Mrs. Woland could also then come out and kickup a fuss in front of the media and complain about how Alice provoked her and hit her. Do you thinkthere’s any point in clarifying things? Caleb, since when did you become so naive?”

“I know that there is no point in just clarifying things, so that’s why we’ve got to come up with someevidence.”

He was mild-mannered and did not flare up at Sam’s words.

“Evidence? Do you have evidence?” Sam was slightly stunned. “This is the Woland Family’s internalaffairs, so how could you have possibly obtained evidence?”

Caleb replied, “I don’t have evidence, so that’s why I came to see you.”

Meanwhile, he was still confused. “What do you mean by that?”

“I’m here to get you to fabricate some evidence for proof. I need evidence that can prove Miss Wolanddid not hit Old Mrs. Woland.” Caleb glanced at Sam and added, “This is what Mr. Knight wants.”

“Do you mean to say that Mr. Knight wants me to fabricate the evidence?” Sam’s voice turned shrillinstinctively and he clearly could not believe his ears.

“This matter brought up by the Wolands is clearly false and intended to frame Miss Woland; they’rebehaving despicably. So, why should we uphold morality towards people like them?”

“Is Mr. Knight doing this to help Alice?” Those who worked closely by Ethan’s side and were generallygiven important tasks were quite likely to be intelligent, so the main purpose of doing all this was easyto figure out.

“Yes, so we’ve got to come up with a great plan for this to help Miss Woland clarify things and restoreher good name.” Caleb felt that there was no need to hide this any further because it was clear thatEthan intended to stand up for Alice.

“What do you plan on doing?”

Since this was Ethan’s idea, Sam naturally was going to cooperate fully.

“Create a video of Old Mrs. Woland tripping and falling to the ground and subsequently sustaininginjuries. I’m sure that no one would be able to tell that a video you made was in fact fabricated. I’ll thencontact a few other members of the press and send them the video before sensationalizing this matter.I’ll also replace a way to get some members of the Woland Family to authenticate this. Next, we can hirepeople to speak up on behalf of Miss Woland on the internet.”

“By then, all of the random strangers would be confused and wouldn’t be able to tell the truth from thelies. Naturally, the people on the internet wouldn’t be focused on condemning Miss Woland. Hopefully,there would be two sides to the argument then. Although there is no way of clarifying everything forMiss Woland, at least with both sides standing up for their own opinions, no one would gain an upperhand, so no one would be able to confidently claim that Miss Woland laid hands on Old Mrs. Woland.”

This was exactly what Ethan had planned for. Although he had merely mentioned a single sentence toCaleb, Caleb had worked alongside him for so long now that he did not need another word tounderstand what his superior meant. Frankly, even with only a word, Caleb would be able to instantlyinterpret Ethan’s intention still.

“Hmm, that is a great plan. It’s easy to create the video and coincidentally, the Wolands released thevideo of Alice trashing the place today. It was at the Woland Residence, so we’ve got our perfect scenethere.”

Sam was fast to take action and it was a piece of cake for him to fabricate a video. In no time at all, hecame up with everything.

Subsequently, it naturally fell to Caleb to handle everything else and Sam was no longer needed. Samwas worried about his little apprentice, so he wanted to head downstairs to take a look and replace outwhether Liam had captured the person.

Sam took a look at the time and made a mental calculation. Based on Bradley’s speed, they should beback.

Handing over the video to Caleb, Sam quickly went up the stairs. Caleb considered the situation for amoment and did not rush off just yet. Instead, he made several phone calls to several members of thepress.

The members of the press contacted by Caleb were much more influential than the ones contacted bythe Wolands. After all, he realized the importance of this matter to Ethan, so there could not be anyaccidental issues.

After Caleb contacted the press, he went upstairs too as he was curious to replace out the identity of theperson who actually dared to blatantly go against Ethan. As such, he could not help himself as therewas a chance that Liam had come back with the person.

Caleb got upstairs and found that Liam was not back yet, so he waited together with Sam inside theroom. With his mental calculation, Caleb deduced that they should be back really soon.

“What’s the matter? Are you curious about the identity of the kid too? It’s rare for you to be concernedabout anything that isn’t related to computers.”

Caleb was slightly perplexed by Sam’s reaction because Sam was generally not that enthusiastic aboutmost matters.

At that moment, Sam rolled his eyes at Caleb. That’s my little apprentice there, so obviously, I would beconcerned, alright?

Right now, Sam could only pray in his mind for his little apprentice to avoid being captured. No,actually, the chances of him avoiding being captured by Mr. Knight are quite slim.

Therefore, Sam could only pray fervently that Ethan would be more lenient toward his little apprentice.

At that moment, the door to the room was flung open and Liam walked in.

“You’re back.” Caleb’s eyes lit up and he instantly turned to look toward Liam and the men behind him.“It’s great that you’ve caught the guy.”

“We didn’t catch the guy. We didn’t even catch sight of him at all.” Bradley appeared from behind Liamwith a complicated look on his face.

With Liam’s hulking figure earlier on, Bradley’s face was hidden behind Liam’s back. That was also whyCaleb had assumed that Bradley had managed to capture the man.

“Didn’t manage to capture him?! What happened there?” Caleb was stunned and could not believe hisears. Even with the location provided by Sam and the personal involvement of Bradley and Liam incapturing the man, it all did not end up a success.

Instantly, Sam perked up as he thought, My little apprentice actually managed to escape?! He’s reallygreat at this! How did he get away, though?

“The location that Sam managed to track him to was the rooftop of a building. When we got there, weonly found a cell phone and a walkie-talkie.” Liam took out the items he had found on the rooftop. “Thelocation that we tracked him to was accurate, but he wasn’t there. There was only a cell phone left.”

“The other party set his cell phone to dial the number at a specific time and then placed the phone onthe rooftop in advance. The walkie-talkie was left on permanently. After the scheduled call was made,the other party then spoke to Mr. Knight. He used a device to modify his voice, perhaps to mask histrue voice. Coincidentally, he was able to mask the voice of the walkie-talkie too.”

Sam took a quick look and instantly figured out the situation. “This is a shortwave walkie-talkie. Thefurthest distance for communication could be districts away or even out of the country. That’s why therecould be a chance that the guy’s actual location is out of the country.”

He spoke nonchalantly as he discussed the matter in general. Frankly, he was also secretly trying tohelp his little apprentice. After all, it seemed that his little apprentice had recently come back to thecountry.

“That kid is good at this. This is such an awesome tactic. He must’ve expected that we would be able totrack his location. He knows our capabilities and yet he’s brave enough to challenge us. That’s gutsy ofhim!” Caleb took the cell phone and walkie-talkie into his hand and studied them. “The cell phone andwalkie-talkie are brand new. He’s fine to discard them after a single use, so he must be quite well-off.”

At that moment, Sam was slightly shocked. It seemed that his little apprentice was not oblivious toEthan’s capabilities. On the contrary, his little apprentice knew Ethan’s capabilities well, so he hadmade sufficient preparation beforehand.

“What about the cell phone number? We could investigate the number.” Caleb flipped the cell phone inhis hand and attempted to remove the SIM card. At present, phone numbers had to be linkedpersonally to an individual, so it was necessary for one to hand over their identification card to obtain aSIM card. Of course, though, even if the other party had not provided his identification card during theprocess of obtaining the number, they could still easily figure things out.
