After Blake finished watching the video, he instantly understood why Jimmy came to him today.
There was only one reason why the police would come to him and ask for his favor. It must have something to do with the underworld.
If someone else had a favor to ask of him, he might have considered it, but it was Jimmy...
He was a rising star in the police forces that was promoted to deputy director's position at a very young age. In a few years, he would probably be promoted as the director of the police department. By then, Beachmarsh City would be completely under his control.
Many clans from the underworld wanted to curry favor with him, yet, he personally came to him today. Blake would not let go of this great opportunity.
Nonetheless, he shouldn't be proactive about his request. He should leave him hanging for a while to make him feel that he owed him a favor.
Blake squinted at the phone for a moment before saying, "Jimmy, is that your girlfriend who was kidnapped in the video?"
"She's a friend." Jimmy didn't seem like he wanted to reveal much. "From your tone, I assume that you know who these people are."
"I didn't say that."
"Oh, so you don't know?" Jimmy arched his eyebrows. "If so, I don't want to be a bother then. I'll have to find another way, and I'm sure there must be a way that works."
With that, he got up and turned to leave.
"Hey, buddy!" Blake quickly grabbed him, unexpected of his abrupt reaction. "I didn't say I don't know. Show me the video again. I don't know them, but my men may recognize them."
Jimmy glanced at him indifferently. He knew that Blake was trying to get leverage. It was rare for him to ask for someone's help, so he naturally had to make good use of it.
If he acted eagerly, Blake would definitely keep him hanging so that he would feel like he owed him a great favor.
Donning a calm and incomprehensible expression, Jimmy sat down again, tossed his phone to Blake, and slowly and quietly drank his water.
Blake thought about the whole situation carefully for a moment and decided not to be on bad terms with Jimmy. Although Jimmy was young, he acted very mature and would someday become the person in charge of Beachmarsh City. It would not do him any good if he upset him over such a petty matter.
Taking the phone up, Blake looked at the video carefully. After finishing watching it, he frowned and gestured to his henchman behind him. "Take a look."
The henchman took the phone and looked at the video several times before returning it to him. "Boss, I think it's the foreigners."
The two muttered to each other in a low voice for a long time before they returned the phone to Jimmy.
Jimmy sat back casually. A waiter pushed the door open and came in with snacks. As she was about to leave, Jimmy directed, "Please send some steaks to the suite."
The waiter had been sending snacks and drinks into the suite several times. It seemed that the woman in the suite must be hungry since it was lunchtime.
"Yes, sir."
The waiters nodded swiftly.
Blake was shocked to find out that there was someone in the suite. He would be doomed if the person in the suite was here to kill him.
After a while, the waiter sent the steak into the suite and emerged with a grimacing expression. She came to Jimmy and said, "Mr. Hudson, the guest inside asks me to bring you a message."
"What is it?"
"Jimmy Hudson, hurry up! D*mn, I need to take a leak!"
Red in embarrassment, the water conveyed the message at one go. "I'm sorry. She said it, not ~ u
me.
Before Jimmy could speak, Blake uttered curiously, "Jimmy, the person inside..."
"It's my wife."
