Amelia hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle Tucker, I've worked out a solution since two days ago, but..."
"Stop hesitating! Just tell me what you have in mind." Jonathan pressed on.
Amelia went straight to the point and said, "The Environmental Protection Bureau claimed that our restaurant disposed high levels of food waste, but in actual fact we didn't do that. However, there are indeed a lot of food residue floating on C River, so I think whoever framed our company must have secretly transported a lot of food waste into the river!"
"So, your plan is to..."
"I plan to place ambush along the river bank to find out if there're anyone suspicious. C River has a strong current due to the rapid flow of water everyday. If those culprits want to maintain the level of pollution in the river, they have to release food waste into the water on a regular basis. As long as we keep an eye on C River, it will not be long before the perpetrator turns up!"
"That's a great idea!" Jonathan agreed with Amalia's plan, but he was a little concerned. "President
Ramsay, we need a perfect plan, and we must strike first and strike hard! Firstly, we can't let the enemy get hold of our plan of action, and secondly, we mustn't catch the wrong person. Therefore, we need someone who is reliable, and must have good capturing ability. However, as of now I don't have any suitable candidates."
A glint flashed in Amelia's eyes. "I do have one!"
"Oh?" Jonathan asked excitedly, "Who is it?"
"The police!" Amelia exclaimed.
Jonathan gave a short ugly laugh and said, "I didn't expect that you would seek help from the police. Aren't you afraid that the person who framed us has colluded with the police in advance? Though it may not be possible, but it's better to be safe than sorry..."
Amelia said confidently, "Uncle Tucker, I understand your concern, but the police that I'm talking about is Patrick's elder brother, Owen Hopper! He is the best choice as I believe his character is good and trustworthy."
"Owen Hopper!" Jonathan slapped his forehead and said. "Look how forgetful I am! Yes, Owen is indeed the most suitable candidate. Why didn't I think of it just now?"
Amelia smiled slightly. "Let's wait no more, and I'll contact him right now. Uncle Tucker, do you have
anything else to say?"
Jonathan sounded very excited and said, "No! I just did not expect you would be able to come up with a solution all by your own. I...I'm very pleased!"
Amelia was happy to receive his compliment, but she was also a little sad at the same time. "Uncle Tucker, thank you for your assistance all the time. I would have given up long time ago if you hadn't been in the company. I truly appreciate your guidance."
After comforting Jonathan, Amelia hung up the phone and called Owen immediately.
"Amelia?" Owen sounded surprise as he had not expected Amelia would contact him.
Amelia got right to the point and said, "Owen, I need a favor from you."
Owen agreed and so Amelia told him everything that had happened, including the Environmental Protection Bureau's investigation, and also the fact that she and Jonathan suspected that the Apex Construction Corporation was framed.
Finally, she said bluntly, "Owen, can you assign some of your staff to help me? Since you and your team are the expert in handling thugs!"
Owen went silent for a moment. "Amelia, your problem is my problem. Let me know when do you
want us to take action?"
