Chapter 271:
Seeing the long string of digits on the transfer record, Roger’s face instantly brightened, and he nodded repeatedly in agreement.
After everything was settled, Jacoby stepped out of the interrogation room, only to run into Ashton, who had just finished aiding in the investigation.
Feigning concern, Jacoby approached Ashton and said, “I took a look at those guys for you. It seems they’re the same gang that caused trouble at your project site last time. It appears they held a grudge after you injured them, so they sought revenge. There doesn’t seem to be anyone pulling the strings behind them. What a pity. Now you can’t escape the responsibility. This is what you get for reaping what you’ve sown p>
Though the loss of almost all his savings stung Jacoby, he found some solace in the thought that Ashton now had no way to come after him. Ashton would have to figure out how to compensate for Skyline Group’s losses and possibly face the wrath of both Skyline Group and the Campbell family.
Satisfied with the outcome, Jacoby decided it was time to leave.
Feeling pleased with himself, he whistled as he turned to exit the police station.
However, Jacoby failed to notice Ashton watching him with a faint, amused smile, as if entertained by Jacoby’s antics.
After Jacoby drove away, Ashton’s face lit up with a triumphant smile. He turned to the police officer behind him and offered a courteous nod.
“Mylo, I am grateful for your help. Could you release my men now, please p>
It became clear that the officer Jacoby had bribed was actually Mylo, someone Ashton was already acquainted with.
Without this prior relationship, Jacoby would have found it difficult to secure such assistance.
Initially, Mylo had been hesitant and confused, especially about how Ashton had managed to bring over individuals like Roger, who had previously been antagonistic toward him.

However, considering that Roger and his team had been on good behavior recently and that Skyline Group’s CEO, Charlie, had spoken to him in advance, Mylo agreed to cooperate.
Additionally, Ashton’s involvement in capturing the assassins from the Dark Night Organization played a role in Mylo’s decision to help.
Therefore, upon receiving Ashton’s request, Mylo promptly released Roger and his associates.
Roger, witnessing the smooth cooperation between the police and Ashton, was even more impressed by Ashton’s influence.
As soon as Roger stepped out of the interrogation room, he approached Ashton with a face full of sycophantic admiration.
“How did I do? Was my performance convincing? Jacoby never suspected anything from me p>
Ashton nodded approvingly, his smile reflecting genuine satisfaction. “You did well. If you continue to follow my direction, your future will undoubtedly be bright and prosperous p>
