Chapter 525
Chapter 525:
Moreover, if there were no villages nearby, why would the police officers be patrolling here?
Jacoby finally realized that everything was clearly unreasonable. When Ashton saw that Jacoby finally realized the situation, he continued, “Think about it. When they saw us covered in bruises just now, they immediately suspected us instead of worrying about our condition. Do you think their behavior is normal?” Although Jacoby was still a little unconvinced, he still nodded in agreement. He whispered, “Indeed, they are acting a bit strange. In a deserted place like this, normal people wouldn’t suspect us. They are here simply to make trouble.”
After saying this, Jacoby quickly assisted Ashton in tying up the three suspicious police officers.
“Go search their pockets. I’ll check the police car. With their poor acting skills, I’m sure we’ll find something useful,” Ashton said and got in the police car without waiting for Jacoby’s response.
Jacoby watched Ashton calmly get into the police car. Although the fear in his heart hadn’t totally dissipated, he was not worried that Ashton would abandon him, knowing he was still useful to him.
What made him nervous was the identities of these fake police officers.
Jacoby frisked the three police officers. And sure enough, he found some poor-quality forged IDs in their pockets. This was enough to confirm Ashton’s suspicions.
He was in utter disbelief, but he couldn’t help but question their true identities.
At that moment, Ashton got out of the police car and threw a phone at Jacoby.
Jacoby looked at Ashton in confusion, but he still picked up the phone. When he checked it, his expression instantly changed.

On the screen was the exchange of messages between his brother Beal and these fake police officers.
It turned out that these fake police officers were assassins hired by Beal. This discovery was a devastating blow for Jacoby. What Jacoby found more shocking and infuriating was that Beal’s messages explicitly instructed these men to kill him and Ashton together if necessary.
Jacoby was in emotional turmoil. He could hardly believe that Beal, his own brother, was willing to sacrifice him to get rid of Ashton.
Ashton had been leaning against the car and observing Jacoby’s reactions. He fanned the flames by saying, “It seems you are nothing but a prop that can be abandoned at any time.”
Jacoby put down the phone feebly, the overwhelming weight of the situation pressing down on him. He was silent for a long time.
Ashton gave Jacoby time, knowing he was thinking things over. After a while, he gave Jacoby a nudge and said, “Do you still want to leave this place? Don’t just stand there. Help me carry these men into the car.”
Jacoby looked at Ashton for a moment. Then, he helped drag the assassins into the police car without saying a word.
Jacoby kept his head down and remained silent on the way back to Staville. His eyes were empty and confused. His discovery about Beal was like a nightmare he couldn’t fully comprehend.
