Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 457

Chapter 457 Missing Blood Sample

Leah would be cooperative, of course. But she was concerned when the police said they needed one or two months to conclude the investigation.

"Sir, is it possible to conclude the investigation earlier? We will cooperate with you. Why does it take this long?" Leah pointed out bluntly.

It didn't sound right to Serena either. "Exactly. Why do you need months?"

Because they might miss their shot at the international design contest, let alone win it.

"Are you doubting us right now?" A young, lanky officer shouted.

But Leah wasn't afraid. Han was much scarier.

"Yes, I am. I can't help but suspect that you are trying to delay our progress here so that we can't take part in the design contest. One, we are being cooperative here so the investigation shouldn't take this long. And two, the one who made the report couldn't come up with any evidence. The person only claimed that there was a bag of drugs in my office. I already let you draw my blood. My innocence will be proven once the test result is out. So why can't we close this case as soon as possible?"

Leah enumerated her reasonings confidently. For a moment, she sounded like someone no one should mess with. When Ben came with assistants, he saw Leah defend herself against the police officer.

"It seems like Ms. White is brave enough to stand her ground now," Ben mumbled to himself.

And she wasn't throwing a tantrum. She produced arguments with airtight logic. Han would be so proud of her if he was here.

The young officer did not expect Leah to talk back. Embarrassed, he stammered,

"This... This is obstruction of justice. I'll arrest you now."

Leah saw the name tag, Russell Dunn, on the police uniform. "Is asking questions obstruction of justice now? And Mr. Dunn, aren't you abusing your power here?"

Exasperated, the young man whipped out his handcuffs, ready to detain Leah. But Ben and his aids pinned the policeman down.

"Mr. Dunn, weren't you expelled from the police force? Who gave you the clearance to search this company?"

Ben worked for Han, so he dealt with the police regularly. Russell knew Ben.

"I... I was reinstated already."

Russell's face did not look very convincing.

"I have the real policemen with me. Should I ask them if you are reinstated?" Ben mocked.

"What reinstated? He was expelled a long time ago. I bet he hired those thugs here and ripped off the police uniform from god knows where!"

How the table had turned.

But Russell was shameless enough to continue yelling. "I found a bag of drugs in her office. Isn't this proof enough?"

The real police captain slammed the car door to spare everyone from Russell's hysteria. He then approached Leah and apologized profusely,

"Sorry, Ms. White. It's an oversight on our part."

"It's okay," Leah shook her head. What mattered right now was the blood sample they just drew from her. "They drew my blood and said they would test it in a nearby clinic..."

"What? They drew your blood. Get checked now to see if you're infected! You should know that the police have no right to draw your blood. They have to leave it to the professional."

Well, let's just say that Leah wasn't aware of that.
