After drinking the water, Benjamin put down the cup, stood up immediately, and said, "Well, hand him over to the police and proceed with standard protocol. My sole demand is for swift trial proceedings, and thereafter, it is up to me whether his limbs will be broken."
Mark understood what he meant.
Benjamin may not have had control of the police station, but the prison was a different story. Prisoners came from all backgrounds, and he was able to wield significant influence and manipulate the situation at will.
Mark promptly rose to stop Benjamin from leaving, but his hands were handcuffed, and he lost his balance and fell to the floor.
He stared up at Benjamin and said, "Mr. Martin, I'll tell you everything. Despite not getting a clear look at his face, I managed to record a video on my phone after picking up the money as per his instructions. He was wearing a hat and a mask and was cloaked in black attire. With this clue, you might uncover something."
Benjamin paused and looked back at him. "You should know that if a single word proves false, the consequences will far exceed what you face now."
Mark nodded vigorously, yearning for Benjamin's trust.
Ignoring him, Benjamin winked at Curtis and asked him to take care of the rest.
Benjamin left directly after coming out of the villa.
Half an hour later, Curtis sent a video that was found on Mark's mobile phone.
The video revealed a figure wearing a hat adorned with the letter "M". Clad entirely in black, including gloves covering his hands, he appeared meticulously prepared for the situation.
It only took a few seconds for Benjamin to recognize that the man in the video was the same man who had kidnapped Wulf's wife.
He asked Curtis, "Is this man the same individual who took away Wulf's wife?"
"Judging from his figure and hat, it is indeed the same man."
"How is the investigation going on about the man who abducted Wulf's wife? Is there any update?"
"No, it's as if he has disappeared from the earth. The identity of Wulf's wife was not used. He must have made a fake one."
Benjamin narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself, "So it's all a dead end."
But he didn't believe it.
He had always been pleased to face challenges, and this time was no exception.
Since the mastermind thought so highly of him, he should fight back well.
Benjamin turned off the video, put down his phone, and drove back to the company.
At that moment, public opinion towards the Martin Group slowly waned following the clarification and apology of the victim's family. Because so many people backed the Martin Group, a new hashtag emerged, "Apologies owed to the Martin Group".
Harper noticed it at once and couldn't help but be in a good mood.
