The Cedillo family's porch was occupied by two sneaky figures, both of them lurking in the shadows. With her belly bulging, Mia whispered, "Leo, quit stepping on my heels. Damn it, you're hurting me."

Leo murmured back, "Well, it is your fault being pregnant and still insist on standing right in front of me. Let's switch. I'll eavesdrop from the front, and you stand guard from the back." "Alright, alright, your turn to eavesdrop."

They switched places, eavesdropping on the living room chatter.

"Bruce, Hansen, our agency has received an anonymous tip, along with evidence indicating that both of you have close ties to the Byrne family. Furthermore, you have conspired with the former head of the investigative unit, Chad, to eliminate dissent using his position of authority, and subsequently obstructed our investigation. Furthermore, it has been alleged that you also supported Chad in his candidacy for the head of the investigative unit."

Once the four officers were seated, they respectfully conveyed their understanding of the situation to Hansen and Bruce. The Cedillo family was a big deal. One member was an old politician, another was the top executive, and they had the backing of Cedillo Inc. They knew they had to treat members of this family with respect.

"What did you hear?" Mia asked in a hushed tone.

Leo's brow was furrowed, "My dad and grandpa have been reported. And so has Jade's family, the Byrnes."

Upon hearing this, Mia immediately walked forward, nudged Leo aside, and continued eavesdropping.

Bruce's voice then filled the room, filled with righteous indignation, "This is utter nonsense. I have been a public servant for over twenty years, always upright and honorable. My interactions with the Byrne family are entirely normal, nothing like what you are implying. "Chad is an upstanding and righteous man, a rare gem among the younger generation. How could he possibly be my weapon? And what enemies do I even have?

"The public has been a witness to everything that Chad has done. From the day he became a police officer, how much lost assets has he recovered for the state? Why would supporting him for the position of division head raise suspicions?

"My father has already retired, and the day-to-day operations of the company have been handed over to my younger brother. So how could he be implicated in the same 'crime' as me?"
