Simon Cadwell almost arrived at the police station with Audrick Zachmann and the others.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a line of people entering the police station and hurried to catch up and greet them, "Mr. Yancey."
Amadeus Yancey paused slightly in his steps, having caught up with them, he turned and saw another familiar face.
"Zachmann, Zachmann, Zachmann..." Audrick Zachmann was definitely a top-tier star in Beijing, his face frequently appearing on TV, his popularity never waning. Simon Cadwell didn’t usually watch entertainnt shows, but his daughter loved them, so he was taken aback to suddenly see a TV star in real life, and for a mont, he was lost for words.
Why would Audrick Zachmann be here with Amadeus?
"Audrick Zachmann is Nathalie Quinlan’s cousin," said Amadeus Yancey, his voice cool as if he knew what Simon was thinking.
Simon Cadwell was shocked: "..."
He looked at Audrick Zachmann and then back at him. Seeing that he wasn’t joking, and rembering the occasional gossip his daughter had ntioned—that the star she was chasing had an impressive family background and that for them, entering the entertainnt circle was just for fun—
He had been skeptical at the ti.
He thought his daughter had been duped by the entertainnt circle’s marketing.
After all, from his connections with the upper circles, he knew those circles harbored people whom everyone looked up to, people who wouldn’t condescend to join the entertainnt circle.
If people from a few top-tier families in McKinney were like that, then the upper circles in Beijing were even more so.
He thought his daughter was speaking nonsense, getting silly from chasing stars.
Who would have known that Audrick Zachmann indeed ca from an extraordinary background, actually being part of the Zachmann Family!
For Mr. Zachmann to dabble in the entertainnt circle was quite willful indeed!
It really seed like just a whim!
Audrick Zachmann could feel Simon Cadwell evaluating him with strange looks, but his mind and eyes were filled only with concerns about Nathalie Quinlan, not caring how others saw him. His brows furrowed, he ignored Simon Cadwell and said anxiously, "Don’t just stand at the door, let’s go inside first, and talk once we’ve found her."
Alfred Garland was also anxious, his lips pursed, quietly following without urging, but the expression on his face was very irritated, clearly impatient.
Amadeus Yancey, on the other hand, didn’t say anything, his posture tall and slender, hands in his pockets, displaying no discernible emotion to outsiders.
Simon Cadwell was a perceptive man, fully aware of the urgency of the situation. Without needing to be told, he imdiately agreed, "Right, right, right, we’ll talk after we find Ms. Quinlan!"
"I’ll lead the way, Mr. Zachmann, Mr. Yancey, let’s go, we’ll go inside first."
...
Nathalie Quinlan was easy to find, as the Jurisdiction Police Station wasn’t large, with only a few working spaces, which were now occupied by hooligans.
The female police assigned to take her statent made do by taking so simple notes in the corridor outside.
They had a general understanding of the situation from the public.
Asking was just a formality.
What Nathalie Quinlan said matched what they knew, and wanting to save trouble, the female police officer wrote down the general details, but omitted finer points. Nathalie’s account was too simplistic for the officer to jot down anything more substantial.
After briefly recording the events, she stopped taking notes, raised her head, and, hesitant to speak, looked at Nathalie Quinlan who sat there, her long and straight leg crossed. The officer pursed her lips and said, "Miss Quinlan, I understand the gist of your situation now. Do you know what you should do first if sothing like this happens again?"
When seven or eight hooligans wielding steel pipes surrounded a girl, they had been stunned upon receiving the public’s ergency phone calls, fearing a major incident might ensue.
But who could have known... When they arrived at the scene, it was as brutal as they had imagined, yet there was a significant difference compared to what they had expected!
