Chapter 830: He Won’t Survive Tonight

Wesley Montague was silent for a moment, lowering his voice, "No, I'm not leaving Ashbury. That man you mentioned, along with the government, is undoubtedly searching for me across the city. Find me a secluded place in Ashbury, prepare

a month's worth of water and food, and I'll hide there."

"When the restrictions on movement ease up, you can help me leave."

Johnson hadn't expected such a calculated response from the contact he'd barely activated after years of silence. Wesley Montague wasn't just cautious-he was clever.

But now wasn't the time to argue. With a deep breath, Johnson sighed and said, "Fine. Just make sure you're not caught by Tina and her people. And let me remind you-if you betray us, the Bailey family won't spare a single person you care about."

The next day.

Tina woke up after a good night's sleep. When she heard about Wesley Montague's escape, her expression remained unchanged.

She had already anticipated this outcome. "This Wesley Montague... He was involved in the Dyer family's case last time. He's likely the Bailey family's informant planted in the police force all along."

From the front seat, Courtney raised her voice. "Tina, isn't it better if we can't find him?"

Hayden's voice came through the speaker, incredulous. "What do you mean it's better if we can't find him? Courtney, did you not sleep enough? If we don't find him, how are we supposed to investigate the Bailey family?"

Courtney pursed her lips in frustration. She turned her gaze forward, massaging her temples, clearly unwilling to argue with Hayden.

Even from the back seat, Tina could sense Courtney's irritation. Tina herself wasn't much better off. "If we can't find Wesley Montague, we can just say whatever we want. Claim he's working for whoever we decide. Where's your brain, Hayden?" Hayden was stunned. "We can do that?! Serena, won't we get complaints for making baseless accusations?"
