Chapter 771 What Do We Do With Them?
Stella went to the pet store to buy a doghouse while Allen helped her pick it carefully.
She looked at Allen’s handsome profile.
He had a very good temper. He always knew what she wanted to do, and he always acted according to her wishes.
However, since she had promised to date him, she thought that she shouldn’t involve herself with Black anymore. “Black was injured because of us, and it’s still dangerous for him to go back to his yacht for now. So after he recovers, I will hint for him to leave.”
Allen smiled and looked at her. “I trust you. Both of us are responsible for his injuries. I’ll take care of him with you.”
“Allen, you’re the person who knows me best in the world,” Stella said gratefully.
Allen smiled and said, “You’re planning to go to the supermarket to buy some men’s products, right? I saw that there aren’t any men’s products at your place.”
Stella smiled and said, “In the future, I don’t think we even need to communicate through words. We could just communicate by looking at each other. Come on, let’s go to the supermarket now.”
All of a sudden, Stella’s cell phone rang. Seeing that it was Vann, she answered it immediately.
“Stella, I think that you need to come here. These kids seem to be crazy. They insist that those who jumped into the sea did it out of their own will,” Vann said.
“But the fact is that they hunted me, Black, and my friend down. Also, the law doesn’t allow people to install cannons on a ship for personal use, right? They even fired at us three times.”
“They insisted that their boss had asked them to do this, but when we asked who their boss was, they all said that it was the State Mayor. We couldn’t pry any information from them. Please come and have a look. Now that this matter is in full swing, it is not good for the State Mayor’s reputation either. The families of these children are here now. They are blocking the gate, causing a great commotion,” Vann said helplessly.
“Alright, I’ll head over to the police station now,” Stella hung up the phone and looked at Allen.
“Go ahead, leave these to me. I’ll take good care of your colleague,” Allen said softly.
Stella truly felt that it was very relaxing to get along with Allen. Although she did not harbor any romantic feelings for him, she knew that she would not feel tired even if she were to live with Allen for the rest of her life.
“Thank you. I’ll leave the car to you since we’ve bought a lot of things. I will take a taxi,” Stella said as she walked to the side of the road.
“Call me when you’re done, I’ll pick you up. I’ll be worried if you go home alone that late,” Allen said in a low voice.
“I’ll ask the police officer to send me back once I’ve dealt with it, so don’t worry. I’ll go first. Be careful,” Stella reminded before getting on the taxi to the police station.
She glanced at the time in the car. It was almost ten o’clock. She then closed her eyes and leaned against the chair to rest for a while.
All of a sudden, the scene of Black holding her hand flashed through her mind. Her heart tightened and she opened her eyes. She did not know why, but she would think of him from time to time. She took a deep breath and tried to think of something else. She had heard previously that some cults were very good at brainwashing. She would like to witness it first hand.
She arrived at the police station soon after. Many people were at the entrance of the police station, and the police station had to deploy 200 special police officers to guard the entrance.
Stella called Vann and said, “I’m at the entrance, but there are a lot of people here. I don’t think I can get in. Is there another entrance?”
“There is. Walk towards the southwest. I’ll ask Sheldon to pick you up,” Vann said.
Stella hung up the phone and headed southwest. Soon, she saw Sheldon running towards her. “Stella, this way. Follow me.”
“I suggest that you split these people and manage them separately. Otherwise, as long as one of the protestors has strong willpower, they could affect everyone,” Stella said.
“Okay, but we don’t have that much room to separate them,” Sheldon said helplessly.
“I understand. How many people were captured?” Stella asked.
“Ninety-eight,” Sheldon answered.
Stella nodded thoughtfully, “Divide them into five groups, with twenty people in each, and send them to the interrogation room.”
“Huh?” Sheldon was very shocked, but when he thought of Stella’s ability, he followed her orders obediently.
Stella went to the office. Vann was still there, frowning with sorrow. When he saw Stella, he complained, “There are too many people this time, and many of them are underaged. The parents of these people are making trouble outside, and the response is very bad. If we can’t get any answers today, many children will be released tomorrow.”
“Okay. Group them into teams of twenty and lead them to the interrogation room. Give me all their information while you’re at it,” Stella said.
“We just got all the information from Edwin. We’ll give them to you after sorting them out,” Sheldon said.
Twenty members of the Whiterobe Sect were sent to the interrogation room, and it was time for Stella to enter.
“Be careful. Ask Hogward and Ray to accompany you in,” Vann said.
“Sure,” Stella responded. She then walked into the interrogation room and glanced at everyone in the room.
They didn’t even look at Stella. They all acted snobbishly, looking up at the sky indifferently.
Stella chuckled and said, “Your parents and family are all outside. Who wants to be released now?”
As soon as she finished her words, the expressions of the members eased a little.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
“If you are planning to let us go, then let us go now. There’s no need to talk so much nonsense,” one of the men said.
Stella’s sharp gaze swept past them, “Lock him up alone. As he is one of the masterminds, he’s not allowed to interact with anyone else.”
The man was taken away. The other members looked at each other in dismay as panic flashed through their eyes.
Stella pulled out a chair and sat down, then repeated, “I’ll ask again. Is there anyone who wants to go home and reunite with their family now?”
All the members looked at each other but none of them said a word.
One of the youths came forward and asked, “If we say that we want to leave, will we be able to leave immediately?”
“You may leave before midnight. Sheldon, put him in the lounge. Lock the others in one room and let the other group in,” Stella ordered.
After the members left, she said to Sheldon, “Please bring that boy’s parents in and monitor everything that happens in the lounge. Let the boy out before midnight and send two people to watch over him secretly.”
“Oh, okay. I’ll do it right away,” Sheldon said.
The members came in group after group, and Stella’s words were all the same. She would always lock one to two members up and let one to two members go.
It was 11 p. m. by the time she was done with the initial interrogation.
“Stella, what should we do next?” Sheldon asked.
“Let’s check out the place where they are locked up,” Stella said as she entered the lockup area.
When the members saw someone approaching, they immediately stood up and looked out warily.
Stella entered and swept her gaze across the crowd. “I still have five spots left for those who want to go back before dawn breaks. Which one of you wants to leave?”
The members looked at each other.
Finally, someone raised his hand. “Me.”
One after another, they started to raise their hands.
Stella swept her gaze across the room. Twenty people raised their hands.
“Bring out those who raised their hands. I’ll talk to them alone, and then I’ll choose five people to let go,” Stella said before turning around and walking towards the door.
Ray, who was following behind Stella, asked, “Why did you make such an arrangement?”
