Stanley nodded. Seeing that, the secretary stood aside and said, "The boss has been waiting for you for a good while. So, I'll get going first. Mr. Jones, what do you want to drink? I'll ask Director Tuff to serve you a drink."
"I'm good. Thank you."
"Then I will leave you alone with my boss."
After the secretary finished his words, he turned around and left. Coming to the front of a middle- aged man, Stanley looked at him respectfully.
This man had an extraordinary identity, making Stanley show him respect naturally.
Seconds later, the middle-aged man looked up with a smile. He pointed to the chair while speaking, "Sit down."
Stanley obeyed his words and sat down.
"So, you went to talk to your father in detail? What did he say?" After finishing reading the document, the middle-aged man looked up and asked Stanley.
Facing his question, Stanley answered honestly, "He had nothing to fear as he knew that I don't have any solid evidence right now, and thereby he was not panicked at all."
"Okay." The middle- aged man nodded and said after a moment of silence, "Because I don't have enough evidence, my superior kept pressuring me. You told me that you have a way to expose him. Tell me; what are you going to do?"
However, Stanley answered faintly, "Let him go."
The middle-aged man paused for a second before adding, "Do you mean to allow him to go back to his country?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Firstly, there is no evidence. Secondly, I'm able to think of a way to get the evidence only after I let him go back," Stanley said slowly. "Someone like him will definitely check the evidence that he hid earlier as soon as he is released. Only at that time will I have the chance to know where he hid the evidence."
After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man picked up the cup of tea, taking two sips of it slowly. Instead of answering, he asked again, "What did you and your father say in the monitoring room just now?"
The whole session was recorded just now.
Why was he asking him when he could figure it out by himself? Stanley thought for a moment before replying, "He was very arrogant as he believed that I don't have any evidence, and thereby he won't reveal anything. Moreover, he's intentionally trying to sow discord between me and you. And, that's all."
Seeing that he was telling the truth, the middle- aged man smiled. In fact, he had already known the conversation between Stanley and his father as he had access to the surveillance camera of the monitoring room.
The reason he asked was to determine whether Stanley was telling the truth.
"When do you want me to let him go?" asked the middle-aged man.
"Wait till I finish one more thing. After that, I will email you."
"Alright, I'll be waiting for your updates."
Hearing that, Stanley nodded.
"Well, you shall go back and have a rest." The middle-aged man looked at Stanley and said, "I heard that you haven't found your wife yet. Feel free to let me know if you need any help."
Stanley unceremoniously accepted the favor, nodding, "Sure. Thanks in advance."
"You're welcome." Then, the middle-aged man gave an order, and a second later, his secretary opened the door and came in. "Bring Mr. Jones to the door."
The secretary nodded with a smile. "Mr. Jones, this way please."
With that, Stanley stood up and left. After he left, the secretary approached the middle-aged man, asking in a low voice, "Can we trust him?"
Hearing that, the middle-aged man glanced at his secretary.
"They are father and son after all. I'm afraid that he will change his mind in the future." The secretary frowned, whispering. "Our superior is not easy to deal with. If we fail to arrest Isai this time, our next boss will definitely look down on us."
Hearing that, the middle-aged man pondered for a while before saying, "Stanley and his father have always been against each other. I think we can trust Stanley for the moment. We just have to be more cautious. In case he betrays us, we must get rid of him immediately."
Instantly, the secretary agreed. "Yes, sir."
