Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 143

"Asher, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. I am here today to hear the truth." Calvin raised his eyebrows and his voice was cold. He knew very well about them. They could stall everything. How dare they disobey the order from superior officers? So they could only play dumb and didn’t dare to investigate the truth of the matter. For the victims, they could only tell them that the case had no clues.

A minister died, but no media reported it. The police station definitely did something. Calvin understood better than anyone else that the fairness and justice of this society were determined by the strong people. So he had no longer pinned the hope on them. His purpose today was to find out if someone had given them instructions or hints, so that he could move on to the next step.

Now his beloved woman and right-hand man had been hurt. He could no longer sit idly by.

Asher hemmed and hawed, trying to hide something.

Calvin leaned back on the back of the chair. His eyes were sharp. Then he sneered.

Obviously, Asher's look had revealed the truth of the matter. It seemed that there must be something hidden. It was still a big shot with strong background who gave instructions on this matter. If someone really gave an order in secret, things would be tricky.

Who would it be?

Calvin's face darkened. He stared directly at Asher.

"Mr. Harvey, this is really a bit of tricky. The driver that caused the accident escaped, and we couldn't find any evidence, so we can't help with the case." Asher knew that since Calvin came over to inquire about this case in person, it meant that he was investigating the matter. But Asher received a verbal order from superior officers. He didn’t know who wanted to hide this case either. He sighed and said helplessly...

"Really?" Calvin showed a smile on his face again. Then he looked at the surveillance video again and got closer and closer. Then he said, "I think this car looks familiar! If I guess right, this is Panica produced by our Harvey Corp. I wonder if Asher thinks so?"

Asher was startled, and then he said solemnly, "Mr. Harvey, this is related to the reputation of Harvey Corp. There is no real evidence, so we can't make assumptions."

No matter this case was related to Harvey Corp. or to any government official, they felt a headache. Calvin actually pointed out his own company like this. What was he trying to do?

Although Asher smiled, he was so confused.

“Humph!” Calvin snorted coldly, not accepting his good intentions. He stood up, and said coldly, "Asher, if this is your attitude to investigate the case, when will you be able to find out the real culprit?"

Asher stood there. After being in the officialdom for so many years, he had been sophisticated and was good at guessing the minds of others, especially the minds of big shots.

Did Calvin want him to investigate Harvey Corp.?

Generally, no businessmen wanted to be involved in criminal cases, but what did Calvin mean? He seemed to wish them to investigate. Was he determined to avenge his ex-wife?

"Asher, my person, Aron, got shot in the underground parking lot today. Now he is lying on the hospital bed and dying. You have to give me an explanation no matter what. Ethan is my father-in-law. I will never allow that he suffered a wrong. If you feel embarrassed, I don't mind changing someone to investigate this case.” Calvin’s face had become more and more gloomy. His eyes had become more and more stern. His voice was even terribly cold.

For those people like Asher, Calvin had to be stern. He didn't care about whether they would feel ashamed or not.

Asher had seen many famous people, but the majesty and domineering of the young man in front of him still made him tremble. In A City, no one dared to offend Calvin.

"Mr. Harvey, don't worry, we will do our best in today's shooting case." He stood up with a smile.

Calvin suddenly smiled, "Ethan's car accident, Aron's shooting case, if you guys could only be like this, I will personally call the chief tomorrow. No matter who gave you the order, chief in capital will come to you to ask clearly. I will get the truth."

Asher's face turned pale. He said loudly, "Yes, sir! Tomorrow we will set up a special criminal investigation team, with the famous detective, Finley, as the team leader, specially responsible for this case."

Hearing it, Asher broke out in a cold sweat. Albie Williamson, as chief in capital, was young and promising. He was Calvin's best friend. It was said that the reason why Albie could be chief was because Calvin supported him. If Calvin made a phone call to him, Asher was afraid that he would lose the job. He still wanted to be promoted. How could he ruin his future because of this case? Now, he never dared to be sloppiness!

Calvin didn't pay any attention to Asher's sullenness. He stood up expressionlessly, and walked outside.

A few bodyguards followed closely behind him.

Asher wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long breath.

"Luca, you guys continue to keep an eye on Martin, but this time you guys have to hide yourselves. Also, arrange some people to search for Bill's whereabouts in those nightclubs and hotels in A City. If you find him, immediately capture him alive. Find that man named Axel as soon as possible. Let me know as soon as there is news." On the modified Hummer, Calvin calmly and decisively gave the orders.

Calvin's eyes were sharp. He looked at the dark place for a long time.

Now Aron was in a coma on the hospital bed. Calvin was really not used to the days without Aron. Fortunately, he had trained another group of people.

Soon, the car drove towards the street. In the dark, Luca and the others got out of the car and disappeared into the night.

Calvin squinted at the disappearing figures of Luca and the others, thinking about something. These policemen were obviously instructed by others and didn’t dare to investigate Ethan's death clearly. But from now on, they had to take it seriously.

Finley was a famous detective in A City. If he was responsible of this case, the truth would not be far away!

Even so, Calvin couldn't just rely on these policemen. For those people in the underworld, he had to arrange his own men.

In this way, the two sides worked together and cooperated with each other, which would speed up the progress of the case.

Belle's delicate face appeared in front of him. He couldn't help shaking his head. This silly woman actually thought that she could find out the cause of her father's death with her ability, which was too naive and ridiculous.

They had been separated for several hours. But he could still smell her scent. His mind was filled with their lingering and passion in a foreign country. A slight smile appeared on his face.

The car quickly drove into Harvey Mansion.

After parking the car, Calvin walked towards the asphalt road.

He saw a figure standing in the dark from a distance. The street lights had been turned off a lot. The figure was slim, tall, and very delicate. It looked very familiar. Calvin recognized her almost as soon as he looked up.

Why was she standing here?

He couldn't help stunned, and quickened his pace.

It was already late at night. The cold wind was howling. The night in A City was so cold.

His face darkened and he walked quickly towards her.

"Calvin, you're back." Hearing the familiar footsteps, although his tall and majestic figure was still in the distance, Belle recognized him. She ran towards him, and shouted softly.

Calvin went up to meet her. His face was full of surprise.

Belle quickly approached, but didn’t dare to move forward. She was trembling in the cold wind. She saw the surprise on his face, as well as the sullen anger.

She just stared at him. Her big bright eyes were full of worry and concern. She was afraid that he would blame her, so she didn't dare to come forward. Or maybe she hadn't adapted that she was eagerly looking forward to his embrace like all women after this short-term separation. She wanted to cling to him and hug him, but she was shy and didn’t dare to take the initiative to express her thoughts and worries.

"Why are you standing here?" Calvin was surprised and asked, with a sullen look on his face.

Belle pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer. Her face was full of shyness.

Seeing the expression on her face, Calvin quickly understood what was going on.

Calvin felt so warm. This woman finally knew to worry about him!

But she didn't dare to get close to him. She didn’t dare to throw herself into his arms like Lexie or hugged him coquettishly. She just stood there with a little timidly and shyly. Worry written all over her face. Her nose was red from the cold, and her small face was red because of the cold wind. Her bright eyes were like sapphires in the night, which quickly illuminated his heart.

This slightly embarrassing and implicit concern made him tingle. He softened, stepped forward, and held her cold hands.

He finally saw that this woman cared about him, feeling so warm. His tiredness had disappeared. What overflowed his heart was full of happiness

"Calvin, why did you come back so late? Is there something wrong?" Belle asked softly. The anxiety on her face could not be concealed any longer. She almost cried.

She looked fragile and adorable, especially the concern and worry in those beautiful eyes warmed Calvin.

Calvin reached out and wrapped his arms around her tightly.

"Silly woman, standing in this night wind and wearing so little, you will catch a cold. You can’t do that in the future." Calvin smiled dotingly and stroked her cheek with his hand. Her face was very cold that Calvin felt so sorry. He wrapped tightly around her. His tone was full of love, "Remember, if you have anything important, just call me. Don’t stand like this to wait for me foolishly."
