The truth, however, was that the police station wasn't exactly safe either. The Dulliouds were practically lunatics.

The police station was nothing. Heck, they would break into a battlefield if needed.

Lacey was a little troubled. “But I can't leave Linton Group at the criminals' mercy...”

Harry replied, “Don't worry, Ms. Hinton. I will send someone to protect Linton Group in your stead. Besides, this

modern age has offered us wonderful communications devices, and you can work remotely from the police

station.”

“Okay,” replied Lacey. She decided to accept his advice in the end. “I'll go get Dawnie and Nancy to join me since

they'll be in danger if they stay.”

Lacey called Dawn and Nancy, then all three of them followed Harry to the police station.

They had just reached their destination when they ran into Bill, who was there to report his findings.

When he saw Lacey and the others there, he quickly approached them and greeted, “What a coincidence, Ms.

Hinton. You're here too.”

Some time ago, Bill was arrogant and rude toward them, and his sudden and sharp change made Lacey and the

others uncomfortable.

Still, she smiled and replied, “Hi, Mr. Zimmer. I didn't expect to run into you here, either.”

Bill replied, “Actually, now that I think about it, it's not that strange. I came here for your sake, Ms. Hinton, and for

the sake of Linton Group. Let's talk inside.”

“Okay.”

Harry took everyone to the VIP room.

Bill was the last one to enter, so he closed the door behind him. “Mr. Hudson, how is your investigation going?”

Harry lowered his voice and replied, “My investigation points to Dullioud, but I still don't know if there is a

mastermind behind them. That being said, I think someone had hired them to go after Linton Group. After all, they

have nothing against Linton Group, and it's not like them to attack for no reason.”

Dullioud?

Bill frowned deeply. “How did the Dullioud get involved? This situation is getting a little tricky. When I was younger, I

was actually assigned to lead an army of over a thousand men to annihilate the Dullioud. We ended up losing, even

though they only had a hundred men with them. Our opponents are simply too cunning and strong.”

Huh?

Harry was a little surprised to hear that story. Who would've thought that Bill had gone against the Dullioud in the

past?

Bill paused for a moment before he added, “Mr. Hudson, I think I might know the person who hired Dullioud to

attack Linton Group.”

“Who?”

Lacey and the others simultaneously turned their attention to Bill.

“I've looked into the matter and learned that Intercontinental Group plays a key role in all of this. It's still too early

to determine whether the company is the mastermind behind it all. However, I suspect that Dullioud's employers

are from Intercontinental Group because they had been in close contact in the past.”

Intercontinental Group!

Dawn gritted her teeth. “Hmph, I knew it. The people from Intercontinental Group are horrible, and it seems I am

right. You know, it is very likely they are the ones who are coming after us. They are probably exacting their

revenge on us because they saw us as the culprit who stole Project Mitxel away from them.”

Lacey, however, waved her hand to dismiss that idea. “I don't think things are as simple as it seemed. Financially

speaking, Linton Group and Intercontinental Group are equally strong, so it will be mutual destruction if they were

to come after us directly. Do you really think they are stupid enough to risk the entire corporation just to drag us

down? And for what? The loss of a single project?”

Nancy thought about it for a bit before nodding. “Hmm... Lacey is right. I won't do something like that if the places

are switched.”

Harry replied, “If we are right about Intercontinental Group being the Dulliouds' employer, then maybe there is yet

another mastermind behind the corporation? Maybe that mastermind is forcing Intercontinental Group to destroy

Linton Group despite it being a mutually destructive move?”

The ladies nodded. “That is very possible.”

Bill thought about it for a moment before firmly announcing, “Don't worry, Ms. Hinton. Just leave it all to me. I will

surely find out who the culprit is and will give Linton Group a satisfactory response.

“In fact, Mr. Hudson, how about we collaborate in this investigation?

“Linton Group is an honorable corporation in our city, and it has contributed greatly to the city's economy. As

government officials of this city, we can't stand idly by as our people are being hurt.”
